The 2002 Golden Ticket Awards - Paramount's Kings Island
The Golden Ticket Awards are given to parks for a various of different reasons, all promoting amusement parks and everything that comes with that. Collected and released by Amusement Today, the awards presentations is usually held at a different park each year. In August of 2002, it was decided that Paramount's Kings Island would be host that year. I was invited as a member of ACE to attend. This video shows most of the presentations but not all of it. While not perfect, it does convey the energy felt that day, hopefully. MC'ed by Amusement Today's own Gary Slade. If you like what you see on this channel, please SUBSCRIBE!

  • @LoveRollercoastersTwice
    @LoveRollercoastersTwice 2 дня назад

    The cause of this problem can be attributed to the friction of the tracks gained during the cold weather. Additionally, chain lifts and motors may run in a reduced manner due to the thickening of oil and other solvents. Also the tracks can partially shrink due to the compression of most chemical molecules during the change in temperature. Older tracks have a higher risk of slowing down compared to newer tracks, and wood travels slower than metal. Provided there were no other people in the car is valid because there wasn't any time for the coaster's wheels and the track to warm up before. Having more passengers in the car would allow more force to be imposed on the tracks, especially if they leaned forward, causing the car to move faster. However that would be an unsafe idea.

    • @SeanFlaharty
      @SeanFlaharty 14 часов назад

      Right before we got into the car, we were told we were the first passengers to take a ride in that car. They didn't even send it around to test. It wouldn't have made it back on its own so they just told us to ride and hope for the best. :)
