Ok, got some questions about Super Loops for you guys that have operated one. We never had one so I didn't get to learn the ride like others.
I know the drive wheels under the train make it move, much like a pirate ship. However, what purpose does the other "wheels" all the away around the loop serve? I figure there are "guides" that keep the train on the track, so just trying to figure out what they serve.
I know running the Sea Ray we had, you pushed a button and the drive motors did the rest, automatically switching the direction of the drive wheels as the boat passed. Do you have to do that manually on the Loops, sorta like the Loop O Plane?
The owner of the show I worked for at the time said he wasn't really interested in a Loops because of a lot of R&M for the ride. So what takes a lot of R&M on the ride?
Thanks for any info.
