Track Features

Track Features are elements that contain mechanical equipment physically necessary for the operation of the coaster and are not present on every (or nearly every) section of track. For instance, a straightaway and brake run are identical except the brake run has, well, brakes. Additionally, not every section of track has brakes, and thank goodness or what a dull ride that would be! A brake run is a track feature.

Other track features include:

• lift hills, stations, block brakes, LIM/LSMs, retarder motors, anti-rollback plates, flywheels...

Things that are not track features:

• handrails, catwalks, stairs, track supports, onride cameras, sensors, loudspeakers, pigeons...
