me and my friends were on that and it got right to the top and broke down!!! Lucky we wernt upside down cos we were there for a good 10 minutes, they had to wait for the electricians to come. They then bought us down half way and it broke down again for about 3 minutes. so we got given a free express card for 1 ride each.
There's a failsafe mechanism in place for if it breaks down upside down, luckily. The brakes that hold the gondola in a position relative to the main arms, unlike rollercoaster brakes, are open when power is cut off, so therefore if the ride breaks down, power is cut to the breaks, and the gondola automatically swings back round to an "Upright" position. No promises it won't swing for a long time first though.
when the power is cut off at a rollercoaster , all brakes are switching to emergency mode ( CLOSED) this is to prevent 2 trains from collapsing with eachother
yes. but this isn't a rollercoaster, it'sa top spin. Top spins only have one gondola, which means it's quite difficult to crash it. On rollercoasters, the brakes switch to closed if the power is cut, yes, but on this ride, if it brakes down, the gondola brakes open to make sure the riders aren't stuck upside down.
Someone seems to be jumping the gun here, i'm rather the enthusiast myself, and I know how emergency block braking works, but the fact you implied I was wrong when the concept is entirely irrelevant is what irritated me. Also, allow me to quote my original comment:
"unlike rollercoaster brakes, are open when power is cut off," with emphasis on the "UNLIKE rollercoaster brakes" part. Learn to read before you try and make me look stupid.
Oh good you have carmed me down coz i was scared when i was on it if it was gunna do that didn't though and went on it 3 times and held us in the water for 10 seconds!

I wouldn't call either of them comments. Just statements. Completely irrelevant to the video.
I like the fact that you can hear someone say "Is that it?".
