  1. Just a quick add on to that extraordinarily good explaination, as I don't think it was quite covered - the lift system is not "synchronised" as it is "connected". You would have an idea about how a normal lift works - lift car attached to a cable which goes up to the winch and then back down to a counterweight. In the case of scooby, the counterweight for the car going up is the car going down. there is one cable, and it is attached to both cars. they could never collide because it is impossible for the cars to be in a position where they could hit at the same time.
    What i meant was like you know how the tracks get connected to the lift.. what would happen if the ride faulted for like 6 seconds and it made the elevator go up before or in the middle of the second car going into the elevator?
  2. Formula of new ride technology Steel = Can be launched (like superman) Wooden = ugly.. im not sure if they can be launched.. and they are old.. VERY HARD TO MAINTENANCE! Water rides = This isnt old technology if you have very good themeing (like Wild west falls) Wild mouse = This is pretty good technology they can do anything... backward drops... vertical lifts heavy theming and sharp turns (like scooby-doo spooky coaster) Inverted = (Lethal weapon) Simulator = bad rides anyway (Batman) Drop rides = Good (batwing spaceshot) Whats missing in this list is wooden.. Movieworld arent making a wooden coaster because it is old technology and it wouldnt look good unless its western themed, wooden coasters arent as appealing as the newer technologies *gets flameshield* god help me when the flaming begins :o

  3. When they do daily checks on the cars, is it still possible that a screw or bolt could come undone on the car during a sharp turn or something and on the lift elevator part, its so synchronized and everything, if the synch had a fault, what would happen? EDIT: Video of scooby-doo done in night vision by a person called Deano in 2004.. i found this video off of a forum and uploaded to youtube.. link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=M-W_UfUFD3I

  4. I went on the scooby-doo coaster 1 year ago and it was so cool and i didnt get the "butterfly" feeling which i really hate on rides. But my question is, if the ride broke down and your like on a difficult part such as the disco area or the lift, how do they get you out?
