According to the Park: Miscatch happens when a train misses a catch car and stops in the brake.

That's where it happens. What is actually happening during a valley?

[rct2wizard360]

There's a technicality here.

Mistcatch causes it valley.
Valleying dosen't mean a miscatch.

A valley is when it isn't able to make a certain element therefore preventing it from completeing the circuit. And when a miscatch ocurrs, it cannot make it through the loop, therefore it IS valleying.

It can valley in between the Loop and Cobra roll, which is not caused my a miscatch. It's just because of pure Vekoma stupidity.

When it does valley, hoe do they get the train back into the station. Take it apart?

[twixmix0303]

They used to. Basically, what used to happen is a miscatch would occur, the train would go about halfway up the tower (or so), fall back down and complete the vertical loop, but then get stuck between the vertical loop and cobra roll. When this would happen, I presume the train was taken apart and moved back into the station.

Now, there are brakes installed at the bottom of each tower, so that if there is a miscatch, the brakes activate and the train is stopped from entering the vertical loop or cobra roll. When maintenance releases the brakes, they reattach the catchcar, the train is pulled back up the tower, and riders enjoy the second half of their ride.

Taking it apart and putting it back together must have been a pain. Dejavu seems like its nothing but problems.

Let's see, I had many firsts:

First hyper
First invert
First B&M
First launched coaster
First flying coaster
First season pass

Don't ask why I had so many firsts, since it is a long story. I think my best moment was going to the park the 10 times I did.
