I used to work for Intamin (the company which manufactured the ride) as a mechanical engineer. All of the Accelerator range of coasters are designed to be able to cope with a rollback, for it the train does not crest the hill then if it is not stopped it will rollback into the train behind it. That is why the brakes are released straight behind the train. A rollback is safe, a misfire is much more interesting (this is when the train could go at anytime).

@Cyybnick Ohh thanks ;)

@lloydy1510 You are right, in that it's not supposed to do it normally, however, and this is what many people get confused at, while it doesn't NORMALLY do that, it IS designed to do that. If that makes sense. As in, it's not normal, but when it DOES happen, it's supposed to be ABLE to. Makes sense, right?

@justinbiebergurl987 They get another go.Being in a rollback essentially gives riders a ride and a half.The train will be launched again after the rollback.But first they will be brought back to the station to give them the option of getting off the ride.
