Coaster Rollbacks

[Cove26flags]

When a coaster valleys or stalls. I've always wondered how they got the train back to the station?

I depends on what coaster and where it valleyed and/or stalled. Some just use cranes to pull it back and some others use gravity.

wow. its late.

[shockwave guy mark]

it depends on the coaster, where it stalled, and other factors, such as why it vallied.

Usually they will take a train and move it back to the station if it gets stuck down a drop.

If it vallies in a hill (like when top thrill dragster, when it got stuck on the very top), people (most likely park workers) will just push the train.

If it gets stuck in a awkward position where the train can no longer return to the station by simply running it, they must detach the train and move it, however it does not usually happen to often, as this usually happens if there is a disaster.

When Raging Bull vallied in 2007 the weekend before buyouts all the trains still needed more cycles before the ride could open. The mechanics came in at 4am on the next few days, cut a piece of track off, took the train off, welded the track back together, then they could cycle the ride the next few days to have it ready for the first buyout. Its quite the pain the ass (which is why with the wind on opening day 2008 it didnt open, they did not want to risk dealing with that again).
