maybe we could get a new episode explaining cable lift hills? I think a lot of people want to know what advantages/disadvantages a cable would compared to a chain; I know I would
5MadMovieMakers I also always thought that the anti-rollback device was split into two parts. Is he saying that the ARB Device is only found on the lift hill?
He only mentioned them being on the lift since that's what the video is about, but they are also found in other areas. Must more common on wooden coasters, you will see antirollback devices at the top of hills where the train is traveling relatively slow. In the case that a train stalls (there is actually a video on YT of a train that stalled on Hades before it became Hades 360) it will catch on the device rather than falling backwards.
Excellent informative video Harry :) It's short but comprehensive, and stays focused on the point. The point of these videos might seem very obvious to many enthusiasts, but I feel coaster knowledge shouldn't be taken for granted and your 'Explained' videos are very valuable! On a nerdy side-note: I like the slide transitions at 2:06 and 2:12... Good use of the slide velocity here ;p
The only roller coasters I’ve ever been on had chain lift hills. I’ve only ever been on two roller coasters, both located at Playland At The PNE. Before Playland’s Wild Mouse was closed and demolished, I went on it. It was my first time on a roller coaster. It scared me, but at least I learned what it was like. The only other coaster I’ve been on is a kiddie coaster called Kettle Creek Mine. The ride is only about 10 seconds long and requires two laps around the track to complete. There’s also a camera that takes your picture as you go down the first drop
Good video, and great animation. Something you may find interesting, on many coasters the ARB system is not the first safety in case of lift stop. The gearbox delivers power though a sprag clutch, which prevents the chain traveling backwards under the weight of the train when the lift motor is not running. Ideally, this should prevent the train from rolling back and engaging on the ARB rack.
GP: explained If you don't know what GP means, then you are GP. This comment was made in conjunction with coasters studios, go check out his channel for a better definition of GP and why is the conclusion longer than the body????
I was watching a roller coster and found out by looking at it go up, I saw how it works and now thanks to you, I have put the final peices together on how it works! Yes! I am so going to explain this to my friend!
Would love someone to do an in depth explained video on how spiral and tire driven lifts work. I still don't fully understand how a straight steel bar, manages to go smoothly between the tires on a spiral lift hill.
2:26 Well that’s a good thing to have next to a lift hill. I’m talking about the sign that says “Remain seated and keep arms and legs inside vehicle at all times”. Those who ignore this important safety rule can get seriously hurt or even killed. People have stood up on Coney Island’s famous Cyclone roller coaster and plummeted to their doom. After the last incident of this happening, the park’s staff placed a “Remain Seated” sign at the top of the lift hill
Quick question: I've ridden Green Lantern at SFGADV and whenever I see the trains rise up and let go of the lifthill it's this loud sound metal banging and clicking, is that due to the multiple amounts of chain doug's being used to carry the train up the lift. Imo the sound is very satisfying.
some people say they hate the ticking noise of the ars on a chainlift i personally think it makes the ride better, ticking along as if its a clock counting down to the drop
Question: I've seen on several roller coasters that the trains reach the lift hill going considerably faster than the chain. What exactly happens there?
On a lot of modern coaster, you can't even hear the anti-rollback dogs, why exactly? Are they retracted by the tension on the chain dog or how does it work?
The ARB on the train can be magnetic, causing it to remain in an upright position as the train goes forwards quickly. When the train slows down, or stops, the ARB falls back down and makes contact with the track once again :)
Another kind of lift hill is the magnetic lift hill. it Utilises Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM) of Linear Induction Motor (LIM) technology to haul the riders up the lift hill at a high pace and it can get the riders up to speed quickly. Found on Battle Star Galagctica, California Screamin' and Maverick, it uses the same technology as a magnetic launch only with an anti-rollback system of some sort. This useful as it can get the riders up to the top very quickly however, it has larger running costs than the other lift hills. Another kind of lift hill as well is the drive tyre lift hill. Found on most junior coasters it utilises drive tyres to get the train up to the top by propelling the train forward (at a slow pace, of course) with pairs of spinning, high-friction tyres that catch on to a piece of metal that hangs under the train and gets caught in between the two tyres. The advantage of this are that you can have curved lift hills, largely increasing compactness. The disadvantage however, is that it requires quite a bit of force to propel the train up as there is a large amount of friction between the tires and the piece of metal COMBINED with the anti-rollback system.
As a bit of a geek but not someone in the know. I have always wondered why on rides such as the Smiler and Saw the ride, when the cars reach the lift hill they cone to a complete stop whilst the chain is still rotating. The chain then stops and the car engages. Seems like there is a fancy mechanism going on.
Gerstlauer thrill coasters, like the ones you mentioned, use a chain dog which pushes the train up the lift hill. Therefore, the cars stop at the base of the lift to allow for the chain dog to come into contact with the train, then it begins the ascent.
Great knowledge video. I however am missing some facts. Forbexample, what about the system that prevents the chain from breaking when a train connects, like the gears and weights that can be seen at the bottom of a B&M coaster (Silver Star is a good example)
This may be a dumb question, but what if the chain for some reason breaks? I know the teeth will stop the train of moving down backwards, but the ride itself has to be completely stopped, since a safety hazard has been established right?
What causes the train to disengage from the chain lift? I'm pretty sure every car on the train gets attached at the bottom but the entire train always disengages and gets faster before the last car is at the crest of the hill let alone at the end of the chairlift, but not so soon that the middle of the train starts accelerating at the apex of the 1st hill. How exactly does that work?
The train can move forward up the lift hill under its own energy, but cannot move backwards. Therefore as the train crests the hill, the chain dog moves up and over the slots on the chain, until it has cleared it. :)
Fantastic video, did you make the animation at 2:06? If so, would it be possible for me to borrow it for a video. Im doing a video about an accident on a roller coaster and would need something like this to explain why it happen and wont happen again.
I did create the animation. Feel free to use it as long as you write 'Animation by Coaster Bot' on screen when showing the animation, and linking to the chain lift hills explained video in the description. Thanks :)
Well, when you said it would be a combination of B&M and Intamin, I was thinking Giovanola. Guess I was wrong! Might be coming in the future hopefully!
Actually the train is pushed up the lift rather than pulled. The dog drops into the gap between the links of the chain and rests against the lower barrel of the link thus allowing the chain to push against it.
Pushing, or pulling, is relative to the position of the viewer. If you were standing at the top of the light hill, the chain would be pulling the train up the hill as it comes towards you. The animation hopefully clearly showed how the chain mechanism works, which should avoid any confusion. :)
Fair enough, haha😂I'll do that, thanks for the advice!😊👍Is there any particular rides you're hoping to try out this year? Hopefully I'll be going to Blackpool Pleasure Beach this summer to try out ICON, I can't wait!
This depends on the lifthill. Often the chain dog method is still used. However, Gerstlauer use magnets of their Infinity coaster model to slowly and safely bring the train back towards the ground if the chain does fail :)
Sure, as long as you include the text "Credit: Coaster Bot" while the animation is onscreen, and also link to my channel in the description of your video. Also, send me the link once your video is done! :)
after taking a look at a boomerang coaster in planet coaster i figured out the answer! what happens is that once the train reverses out of the station, it couples up to a powered car. that powered car then pulls the train up to the point of the lift hill where the slope becomes uniform where it connects to a catch car - one that is an actual car. the catch car has a cable attached to it. once all connections are made the train gets reeled up to the top of the lift hill. then the powered car and the catch car are decoupled, making the train roll down the hill. the train traverses the track and then goes up a chain lift hill that is the same hight and incline as the catch car one. what makes this chain lift interesting is that it does not have any teeth. once the train is close to the dead-end, the chain lift deactivates causing the train to roll down the hill, traverse the track backwards go through the station without stopping. the train rolls up the lift hill, stopping about halfway up, then it rolls down into the station and the ride ends. once the ride stops the powered car and the catch car return to their original positions. for a portable coaster, the vekoma boomerang is quite complicated
2:17 I’m think this happened to me on MF. The train was about at the top and then we just stopped and rolled back a bit the stopped again and then went back up the hill
This depends on the lifthill. Often the chain dog method is still used. However, Gerstlauer use magnets of their Infinity coaster model to slowly and safely bring the train back towards the ground if the chain does fail :)
Chain lifts: where the anxiety sets in
Chain lifts as well as waiting in the queue! :)
I believe they were made this way to give anxiety and regret.
When you ride the same ride day after day, the anxiety isn't there.
Evergreen XCVI well they weren’t
i know it is kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good website to watch new tv shows online ?
ICONIC CLICKING SOUND.... Yes!!!
Wow, when you said high-quality content you really delivered!
Thanks man, I appreciate it! :)
maybe we could get a new episode explaining cable lift hills? I think a lot of people want to know what advantages/disadvantages a cable would compared to a chain; I know I would
Great video! (I'm really into the technical side of roller coasters)
Thank you, and that's awesome to hear! :)
your a nerd.... but that's not a bad thing
Next: coaster supports explained.
I will add it to the list, thanks for the suggestion. :)
DYK- that alpina blitz only has 2 pairs of supports on the lift and drop!
@@coasterbot don't forget stations :)
(and block system/capacity)
I always thought the anti-rollback dogs WERE called chain dogs... now I know they are two separate things. Wonder who came up with that name
5MadMovieMakers I also always thought that the anti-rollback device was split into two parts. Is he saying that the ARB Device is only found on the lift hill?
I always thought that the Antirollback was called the "Catch Cat"
There's a lot going on underneath the train to say the least :)
He only mentioned them being on the lift since that's what the video is about, but they are also found in other areas. Must more common on wooden coasters, you will see antirollback devices at the top of hills where the train is traveling relatively slow. In the case that a train stalls (there is actually a video on YT of a train that stalled on Hades before it became Hades 360) it will catch on the device rather than falling backwards.
On some coasters there are ARBDs on all uphills to avoid troughing but on most they only occur on the lift hill.
Excellent informative video Harry :) It's short but comprehensive, and stays focused on the point. The point of these videos might seem very obvious to many enthusiasts, but I feel coaster knowledge shouldn't be taken for granted and your 'Explained' videos are very valuable!
On a nerdy side-note: I like the slide transitions at 2:06 and 2:12... Good use of the slide velocity here ;p
Thank you very much, it means a lot! I also like the slide transitions, they are much better for displaying a different context than a simple fade. :)
It was awesome to work with you Harry, glad we finally got this to work! :)
Glad to see more coaster TH-camrs joining forces! It's uplifting (pun intended) to see such a helpful and collaborative community
Likewise dude! And the results were great. :)

COASTER BOT how about restraints explained?
COASTER BOT Could you do:
What is: Eurosat [Europa Park - Germany]
The ride was closed and gets completely renovated.
The only roller coasters I’ve ever been on had chain lift hills. I’ve only ever been on two roller coasters, both located at Playland At The PNE. Before Playland’s Wild Mouse was closed and demolished, I went on it. It was my first time on a roller coaster. It scared me, but at least I learned what it was like.

Fantastic! Even though this is an older video i love the way it's explained
Thank you for my science project! We are on our transformation of energy unit
No problem! :)
I learned a lot of what I know from roller coasters from Rollercoaster Tycoon 3. Seriously :-P
Awesome! :)

Been looking for this video, and finally got it. Thank you 👍
Thanks for watching! I hope the video helped 🙂
How weird I was literally only talking about how they must work a short time ago - and now your video gives me the answer!
That is weird :)
I don't know if chains are really my type of restraint, Harry, but I'm not someone who kinkshames...
sounds hot
my oh my oh my
Love your comments xD
frank is a good guy
What about cables?
I love the animation with this one.
Thank you! :)
COASTER BOT Who made it?
Would love someone to do an in depth explained video on how spiral and tire driven lifts work. I still don't fully understand how a straight steel bar, manages to go smoothly between the tires on a spiral lift hill.
Launch or Lift? I prefer launch because I personally think it’s way more thrilling
And u dont have to think about getting slowly raised up 100s of feet
Literally only searched this to understand why it clicks. Thanks a ton
2:26 Well that’s a good thing to have next to a lift hill. I’m talking about the sign that says “Remain seated and keep arms and legs inside vehicle at all times”.

Rides do feature multiple chain dogs, so yes it's most likely that! :)
@@coasterbot Got it!
Did you make the graphics yourself? Great video overall!
I do yeah :)
Could you explain Final Break Runs or the Station?
I will add them both to the list, thanks for the suggestion. :)
It's funny how one of the roller coasters here at sfog hot stuck on the lift hill today. Then the next train got stuck. And the next one...
*Etc.*
That's mad!
COASTER BOT did I mention it was raining?
In the middle or at the top? If it's at the top, that is 100% normal
some people say they hate the ticking noise of the ars on a chainlift
i personally think it makes the ride better, ticking along as if its a clock counting down to the drop
Ha ha that's true ;)
My favourite ride is
Talon: The grip of fear!
Awesome! :)
Question: I've seen on several roller coasters that the trains reach the lift hill going considerably faster than the chain. What exactly happens there?
The trains can climb the chain, and then will attach once they come to a stop. You see this in quite a few POVs. :)
Next: coaster restraints explained lol jk
That's an interesting idea :)
COASTER BOT 1 year later it actually happens
An example of the chain lift coming to a stop is on one of the POV videos of Kraken at SeaWorld Orlando.
I love your stuff. I grew up going to Cedar point and magic mountain.
That's awesome to hear. I'd love to visit both of those huge parks, they seem fantastic :)
Just watched Taylor's Parody and now this! Can't wait!
Awesome! :)
Well explained
Thank you! :)
I watched the whole thing!
That's great, thank you :)
Cool,that you also used european roller coasters to show the system!
Thanks! :)

0:28 I RODE THE BIG ONE (THAT'S THE COASTER ON THAT PART) AND IT IS AWESOME!
It is a good coaster! :)
next: the wheel explained
This may be a dumb question, but what if the chain for some reason breaks? I know the teeth will stop the train of moving down backwards, but the ride itself has to be completely stopped, since a safety hazard has been established right?
Yeah, the ride itself would shut down and cease operation. :)
I love the John Miller lift hills LOL
You should do a video that explains the mechanisms behind dueling coasters
I will note that suggestion down, thank you :)
Great video
Thank you! :)

ok i look forward to watching those in the future!
Yay you made another vid

Can we get The front left wheel of coaster trains: Explained next please :)
I was more thinking back right upstop wheels: Explained. ;)
So there's a clip of the smiler being slowly brought down from the 2nd chain lift hill. How does it bypass the anti-rollback system
@Chimera Ah I see. Only took over a year to find out
The satisfying clicking noise
Can you do a RMC Raptor track explained?
I will add it to the list, thanks for the suggestion :)
At what speed do these chainlifts usually go? in terms of a giga coaster for instance
I'm honestly not sure. Different rides have chains that travel at different speeds.
@@coasterbot how about the average speed for the likes of gigas like fury 325
Well, when you said it would be a combination of B&M and Intamin, I was thinking Giovanola. Guess I was wrong! Might be coming in the future hopefully!
Likewise :) Would love to see Giovanola get some spotlight too. Anaconda at Gold Reef City is so much worth mentioning!
Giovanola might be covered in several videos in the future, who knows! :)
What were to happen of the chain dog doesn't hook on the chain on time? What will happen?
Top train would most likely stop at the bottom of the lift hill.
Any idea how much it would cost to replace the chain for a lift?
Very interesting!!
You have tot do a video about The vliegen de Hollander in The Efteling
It's on the list of roller coasters to cover in future videos :)
Nice
Actually the train is pushed up the lift rather than pulled. The dog drops into the gap between the links of the chain and rests against the lower barrel of the link thus allowing the chain to push against it.
Pushing, or pulling, is relative to the position of the viewer. If you were standing at the top of the light hill, the chain would be pulling the train up the hill as it comes towards you. The animation hopefully clearly showed how the chain mechanism works, which should avoid any confusion. :)
what's the point of slowing the chain down rather than stopping it?
I'm not too sure. I'd imagine it uses less power and creates less wear and tear to do so.
0:17 why does nemesis's wheels have no cover on them
Not sure honestly, but it was operating like that for quite a while. :)
even with the existence of anti-rollback features, the chain lifts still scare me on taller coasters because they are so steep.
Of course, but sometimes that's one of the reasons for building such a tall ride! ;)
When's the next coaster lounge coming?
This Sunday! :)
COASTER BOT thanks!
Do a video on concrete footers.
I'm not sure that'd be a very exciting video! ;)
@1:05 Wait, there is a theme park with a burger king? What park is it? (I know LaRonde has mcdonald's)
Do the ride operators in the station control when the chain dog engages and disengages?
The chain dog engages and disengages automatically when the train connects or leave the lift hill. Nothing is required from the ride operators :)
Ahh, I see. Thank you!😊I'm trying to learn everything about roller coasters. What parts would you recommend I start reading up on first?
To be honest, I have no idea. It is something that you develop over time. I do recommend watching some of the other videos on this channel though! :)
Fair enough, haha😂I'll do that, thanks for the advice!😊👍Is there any particular rides you're hoping to try out this year? Hopefully I'll be going to Blackpool Pleasure Beach this summer to try out ICON, I can't wait!
I'm hoping to ride Wicker Man, Valkyria, and Icon this year! I can't wait either :)
I saw nemesis inferno near the start!
And the original nemesis at 0:18
Both good coasters!
What about vertical lift hill rollback?
This depends on the lifthill. Often the chain dog method is still used. However, Gerstlauer use magnets of their Infinity coaster model to slowly and safely bring the train back towards the ground if the chain does fail :)
Thunderbolt in Coney Island has a TOTALLY different rollback system bro
Not all systems are the same. The one explained within the video is the most common. :)
can I use your CGI of the anti rollback system in one of my videos?
Sure, as long as you include the text "Credit: Coaster Bot" while the animation is onscreen, and also link to my channel in the description of your video. Also, send me the link once your video is done! :)
how would a shuttle lift hill on the boomerang coasters work?
To be honest, I have no idea. There is a manual chain release which causes the chain dog is disengage to it reaches the peak of the lift hill.
ok. maybe it has something to to with the extra pair of wheels at the back of the train
after taking a look at a boomerang coaster in planet coaster i figured out the answer!
what happens is that once the train reverses out of the station, it couples up to a powered car. that powered car then pulls the train up to the point of the lift hill where the slope becomes uniform where it connects to a catch car - one that is an actual car. the catch car has a cable attached to it. once all connections are made the train gets reeled up to the top of the lift hill. then the powered car and the catch car are decoupled, making the train roll down the hill. the train traverses the track and then goes up a chain lift hill that is the same hight and incline as the catch car one. what makes this chain lift interesting is that it does not have any teeth. once the train is close to the dead-end, the chain lift deactivates causing the train to roll down the hill, traverse the track backwards go through the station without stopping. the train rolls up the lift hill, stopping about halfway up, then it rolls down into the station and the ride ends. once the ride stops the powered car and the catch car return to their original positions. for a portable coaster, the vekoma boomerang is quite complicated
Ha ha I finally get these energy conversions also. MY HOME PARK. I wasn't there at summer.
That's great to hear! You'll have to visit your home park soon then! :)

OH HELLL NOOOOOO
COASTER BOT with helix?
1:26 eollercoaster?

Can you do Trains: Explained?
I will add them to the list, thanks for the suggestion :)
I always thought that there was a wheel in the middle made just for chain lifts. I guess I was wrong. I learned something new, eh?
That's true, you do! :)
This is kind of like Coaster force’s table of elements series.
I guess there are similarities.
Why arent these faster?
Lift hills you mean? The lifts have to drag trains that weigh several tonnes up an incline. That takes a lot of power to do!
oooooh that makes a lot of sense now that i think about it...its just really suspensful!
Can I use this in my physics class if necessary?
Sure thing! :)
"The guests will begin to enjoy their ride." Yet you showed a clip of Viper at SFMM. Nobody can start enjoying that.
Maybe you have to be off the ride to only enjoy it? 🤔
2:17 I’m think this happened to me on MF. The train was about at the top and then we just stopped and rolled back a bit the stopped again and then went back up the hill
There you go, a perfect example of the ARBs working! :)
What about vertical lift hills
This depends on the lifthill. Often the chain dog method is still used. However, Gerstlauer use magnets of their Infinity coaster model to slowly and safely bring the train back towards the ground if the chain does fail :)
This will teach the gp what the chain dog is and tell them what the clanking is
Because the Ultimate has a really fast lift hill.
Definitely ;)
Coaster Bot are you from the Black Country?
I am from near Birmingham, so not too far away from the Black Country :)

COASTER BOT thank you
Where's the skip video annotation?
Skip video annotation?
COASTER BOT because people tend to skip chain lift hills in POVs(while others wanted them included), so some uploaders put annotations to skip them
Oh I see ;)
The thing that scares me is how steep some lift hills are and I don’t like it
Smiler Duel!
It's awesome when it duels! :)
