If you want to know what the ride track layout looks like, go to Vekoma.com and look under launch coaster. The ride that is shown is identical to RnR, except it is outside. The ride is called Superman and its located at Six Flags Holland.josh_e_washie said:Does anyone know if pictures exist online of RnRc with the lights on??? That would be awesome!

Nope.
1. Cables break much more often than LSMs go down. Ask Cedar Fair.
2. The hydraulic system requires an area to house the huge spool of cable and the motors to drive it. No such room exists in the RnRC layout.
Here, I'll save you the trouble of looking at the tiny photos on Vekoma's site.
Superman-LSM
Here is a photo with lights on. It's from Paris, so there are no sets inside the layout.

Yeah, thats crazy. I also heard that NASA is looking into the LIM technology that Premier uses. It is crazy to think that developing a new technology for the amusment of theme park guests can be so innovative, that it catches the eyes of the government for use of launching fighter jets of a carrier or launch a space craft into space.Cuseorng1 said:

I was just curious, what happens if the ride stops when one of the cars is inverted? Do the guests hang upside down until they release the car?

It is highly unlikely to stop whilst inverted. The cars would naturally roll to an upright postition. The only time I have seen cars stuck being inverted is when Alton Tower's Corkscrew's wheel barings (I think) came off between the two corkscrews. Even then, people weren't held upside down (just quite twisted).
Or maybe like this, a train could stop upside down:

Yeah, the only way for a train to come to a stop while inverted would be in the event of a severe structural incident to the track or wheel sets. In the case of an e-stop or power failure, the trains will roll out of the inversion and into the next set of brakes.
VERY rarely does a train stop upside down. Less than 5 or 6 times in the last 25 years or so.

I ridden it between breakdowns one day... I did shake badely but not enough to mess up the booters... especially since it is out in the open where guests can walk under and around most of the track...
(Volcano better though...)

Coaster is OK with the lights on, the track is a little like Dueling Dragons in that it winds around itself. Being inside a building takes a little away from the enjoyment. The best ride is no building lights and no audio, even when you know the ride, the turns seem new. Lee is correct in that the limos will either go to the next breakzone, or "valley" at the bottom of a hill if there is not enough momentum to go up the track.

The only time that RnRC ever broke down on me, was when that exact type of thing happened. Right before you unload, but it didn't take that long to get it fixed, only about 3-5 minutes
