Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
I was bored and was looking at the new for 2001 on rcdb.com and found this ride. Look how long the trains are. It says it is at least 17 cars per train!Here is a link:http://rcdb.com/installationgallery1487.htm?Picture=1

Pepsi Ripsaw at Knott's Camp Snoopy has 15 cars per train. All 3 of these rides are Zierer, so I guess it's just the way they build rides. Rediculouly long trains!

Yeah, that does look really strange to me too... seeing so many cars on a train!

Hmm... I really didn't know any different on kiddie coasters. On Zierer coasters it must just be the norm then. How many trains on Spacely's Sprocket rockets?

Well what company makes it? Are there other companies that make little kids rides other than Zierer and Vekoma?

Yeah they should definitely break that up into two trains so it doesn't take so long to load the one train.

It's not that big of a hill... the momentum keeps it going just like any other coaster.
