Thought I would share this since when they shot this footage, the final helix tunnels weren't completely constructed yet. I am still shaking my head with the long straight track with the canopy over it. What purpose does that serve?
The long straight section is a block brake. Block brakes have to be pretty giant with skid brakes. Main reason why pretty much all older coasters only ever ran 2 trains.

Skid brakes don't work when they get wet, pretty much every coaster with skid brakes has a covered brake run. If a coaster has uncovered skids it can't run in the slightest of drizzles (Tigrr at IB is a prime example)
