| Elements
I'm making an elements part of my website (under heavy construction), and I was wondering if I was missing any. I have... Loop Diving Loop Corkscrew Barrel Roll Cobra Roll Batwing Top Hat Flat Spin Helix Immelman Heartline Roll Heartloop Camelback Bunny Hop Sea Serpent Horseshoe Inclined Loop Trick Track Hammerhead Butterfly Loop Zero-G Roll Raven Turn Bowtie Wingover Butterfly Turn Pretzel Loop Kamikaze Kurve Boomerang Cutback Pre Drop Dip After Lift Hill Curving Drop Chain Lift Hill Mid Course Brake Run Final Brakes LSM Launch LIM Launch Tire Launch Elevator/Cable Lift Hill Self-propelled(engine) Lift Hill Pretzel Knot Scarf Brakes Block Brakes Unbanked Turns Banked Turns Overbanked Turns Trim Brakes Holding Brake (Like on Oblivion) Fan Turn On-Ride Photo Also, I'm looking for the different names of the elements from the different coaster companies, too. (For example, B&M's Cobra Roll, Arrow's Batwing, Vekoma's Butterfly Turn) I put some more elements that were suggested. Thanks to every for helping me and keep em comin!

Maybe you could eleaborate on different types of drops. Curving drops, straight drops, drops at a straight angle (ex: Goliath, it's at 61 degrees for most of that drop) or a curved angle (ex: MF, it curves to 80 degrees, then pulls out rather quickly). Maybe the little B&M dip before the drop, could that be an element? Mid course brakes, lift hill, final brakes, I don't know. Those can be elements, right?

Yikes, I didn't know that there were so many! It sounds like a good idea for a website, though, to explain the different types, maybe show examples. You could really go into some depth, like the different types of drops as haux suggested. Or how about the different lifts or launches? Chain, elevator/cable, LIM, SLM, tires, self-propelled (I know some older coasters had "engines" and went up the lifts themselves). Good luck, and be sure to add your link to the Links section here when finished -- I'd love to see it!

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by beltzies64 [/i] [B]You are missing Pretzel Loop and Kamikazee Turn. [/B][/QUOTE] He/she isnt missing Pretzel Loop ( Whatever that is ) or Kamikazee Turn. The cutback is missing though. There are some elements out there without names. Check out coasterglobe.com for their Table of Elements.

Raven turn??? And also skim or skid brakes or whatever. Hold brake. I don't know if you call on ride photo a element or what. Maybe explain banked/un banked turns.

A scarf brake is a brake on the track that slows the speed of the train down a little bit but can't stop the train like block brakes can.

A number of websites have sections on ride elements. [url]www.coasterforce.com[/url] has one of the better ones on inversions, and coasternet.danimation.com has a good one too, although some of their explanations seem a bit off. On one website I saw (can't remember which one), most of the explanations I looked up were wrong, so don't take everything you see as gospel. Are you going to include magnetic brakes? How about different types of coasters (wooden, steel, classic, inverted, suspended, etc.)? |
