Accelerator Coaster (original) (raw)
An Accelerator Coaster is a hydraulically launched roller coaster model from Intamin. The model usually consists of a long, straight launch track, a top hat tower element, and magnetic brakes that smoothly stop the train without making contact. The technology was developed by Intamin engineers as an alternative to electromagnetic launch systems, such as the Linear Induction Motor (LIM) and Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM), that are found on earlier launched roller coasters like the Flight of Fear and The Joker's Jinx. Unlike the earlier linear induction motors, the Accelerator Coaster's launch system exhibits constant acceleration and is capable of reaching greater speeds.

| dbo:abstract | An Accelerator Coaster is a hydraulically launched roller coaster model from Intamin. The model usually consists of a long, straight launch track, a top hat tower element, and magnetic brakes that smoothly stop the train without making contact. The technology was developed by Intamin engineers as an alternative to electromagnetic launch systems, such as the Linear Induction Motor (LIM) and Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM), that are found on earlier launched roller coasters like the Flight of Fear and The Joker's Jinx. Unlike the earlier linear induction motors, the Accelerator Coaster's launch system exhibits constant acceleration and is capable of reaching greater speeds. Accelerator Coasters with the top hat element are known to perform an occasional rollback – when the train is unable to complete the top hat element and rolls back to the starting point – which can occur due to a number of different factors. Despite this, Accelerator Coasters have a great track record for safety and are extremely power efficient, especially compared to older technologies such as the classic chain lift found on most roller coasters. Formula Rossa, the world's fastest coaster, and Kingda Ka, the world's tallest, are some of the most well-known installations around the world. (en) Ein Accelerator Coaster ist ein hydraulischer Launched Coaster von Intamin. Das Modell besteht in der Regel aus einer langen, geraden Beschleunigungsstrecke, einem Top-Hat-Turmelement und Magnetbremsen, die den Zug sanft und berührungslos stoppen. Die Technologie wurde von Intamin-Ingenieuren als Alternative zu elektromagnetischen Abschusssystemen wie dem Linear Induction Motor (LIM) und Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM) entwickelt, die auf früher gestarteten Achterbahnen wie Flight of Fear oder The Joker’s Jinx zu finden sind. Im Gegensatz zu den früheren linearen Induktionsmotoren weist das Startsystem des Accelerator Coaster eine konstante Beschleunigung auf und kann höhere Geschwindigkeiten erreichen. Accelerator Coaster mit dem Top-Hat-Element führen gelegentlich einen Rollback durch – wenn der Zug das Top-Hat-Element nicht abschließen kann rollt er rückwärts zum Ausgangspunkt zurück – was aufgrund einer Reihe verschiedener Faktoren auftreten kann. Trotzdem haben Accelerator Coaster eine hervorragende Erfolgsbilanz in Bezug auf Sicherheit und sind äußerst energieeffizient, insbesondere im Vergleich zu älteren Technologien wie dem klassischen Kettenlift, der bei vielen Achterbahnen zu finden ist. Formula Rossa, die schnellste Achterbahn der Welt, und Kingda Ka, die höchste Achterbahn der Welt, gehören zu den bekanntesten Installationen weltweit. (de) |
