I worked a 1972 Arrow mine train coaster with 5 blocks. Everything was manual. All brakes. All lift chains. You had to physically climb the lifts to turn them on. The stopping mechanisms in the blocks were either skid brakes, lift chains or rotating rubber tires. The brake run had trim, ready, dispatch, safety. All were completely manual. If you held the buttons down on the panel you could shoot the coaster through. Adding trains had to be manually moved on the transfer track and hand pushed into the track. All brakes were skid brakes. So you had to know the ride very well and have great timing. Block checks were only done in the morning by the morning crew so consequently if there were ever a shut down in the evening - nobody knew what to do including the supervisors. If you didn't turn the right key or press the right button it was totally screwed. I also opened the ride and did the block check.

I think I need to take a *BRAKE* after this video. This was informative and I feel I can make good use of this knowledge.

Decent video, as always! :p As CoolioJoe100 already explained, trim brakes are usually not design flaws, and 90% of the time manufacturers plan them in the design - even when they are not installed eventually. Because as for all the other kind of brakes, IRL you still need a straight line in your layout in order to place a brake. So for instance, in the Mako simulation, on the Fury 325 one, you can spot the places where trim brakes will potentially be installed in the future, because there are small straigh lines on the hills. Actually, whenever you need a straight line or not depend on the design : If the fins underneath the train are vertical (Intamin, Premier, etc.), you can do vertical curves, but no curves or rotations. If the fins are horizontal (B&M), you can't at all. Now for the block brakes, that was a great explaination, I just feel like you missed one important notice about a mistake people often do: you'd be careful to have your MCBR high enough so the train is sure to clear the layout in case of a stop, even if in normal operations the train keep its speed from the previous block. Also, when you put the final brake run, it would have been nice to end the brake run with a block section. THERE. It's off my chest, I can sleep now. ^^

Beautiful explanation Silv! Blocking is kind of high-level thinking for most RCT style players, but it's crucial if you want your parks to run well and your queues to empty.

Nice to see a detailed how to video, I'm all good with things like this but for newcomers and people who arent enthusiasts this is really helpful, keep it up dude

Not only are you an unbelievable builder, you can also make excellent informative and very clear instructional videos! Great job.

These tutorials are so helpful and in-depth! It also really makes me wanna learn more about real life coasters

Just wanted to say thanks for all your great tutorials including this one. They are very well done. It's nice to know something about the history and actual use of characteristics of coaster types in addition to all the tips on how to make them. I also find these tutorials present info on several skill levels so that I can do the beginner parts then come back for the more advanced lessons. Great job. I hope someday you do a video on that so-called "famiiy" coaster with the cars that spin horizontally. That one is totally baffling me.

Great video man, really helpful! I especially found the block brakes section helpful, something I was finding really tricky and confusing, so thankyou!!

Thanks for making this video! This has really explained a lot to me since I never truly familiarized myself with the brakes and the different types.

I am sure I am speaking for everyone here. I LOVE THIS SERIES! Like if you agree so Silvarret can see it.

Thank you! Block brakes make a lot more sense now. I'm not sure if you've mentioned it in another video, but for brakes there's also a second tab (which took me a while to find!) where you can control things like the Brake Target Speed and Deceleration Rate (and for block breaks, Release Speed and Release Acceleration too). You can also control how fast lifts go and how much acceleration you get from launched sections. There's an icon above the Angle Snap, Auto Tunnel, etc. that looks like a clipboard, and next to that is one that looks like a list and says "Utility Settings" when you hover over it. Really useful stuff, but a bit hidden away if you ask me! Hope that's useful for someone. :)

One of the things this game does need to add is a friction setting. It seems like brake sections aren't as useful as they should be because coasters seem to lose speed a lot quicker than they do in real life.

Exactly. the friction is so overbearing that you hardly ever need to trim and it leaves MCBRs more of a blocking necessity than a brake. It just shouldn't slow down as much as it does.

Great tutorial! That covered a lot of info and was very helpful.

Perhaps a more straightforward way to explain block brakes is that they divide the coaster into, well, blocks. Only 1 train can occupy a block at a time. You did explain this in the video, but not in so many words. I also feel that the coaster example you used for block brakes was rather poor, I would have tried to make a less compact layout so we could more easily see the many blocks the ride was divided into. You still explained it appropriately, I just feel like the block sections part in particular could have been more well put-together. Thanks again!

Excellent tutorial on brakes, thank you.

Love your vids, keep up the good work!

I made a coaster that was so aesthetically beautiful when I started, but over time, I started chipping away at the scenery to make way for expansion later. At the end it just looked like total shit. I called the coaster No Man's Sky

Bedankt voor deze heldere uitleg!

wow, i didn't know that bit about blocks, that's really interesting!

The one thing that constantly screws up block timing are the guests. Loading a train full often takes longer than the running time of the coaster but having it run half empty isn't really economical. So that is a factor one has to consider.

Our trim would stop the train cold. Was so much fun to run because it was totally up to you! It didn't automatically stop.

This video was very helpful. Was wondering why my coasters would pause on top of the lift hill but now I know.

These video's are really helpfull! Thank you silv

Excellent tutorial.

Intimidator 305 is the best example for trimbrakes. It caused many blackout at the beginning. so they installt brakes. Later they made the first curve wider, so it wouldn't cause blackout anymore

Something worth mentioning in relation to block sections, is the time it takes to fully load a train - thus, even if you have longer sections where trains are waiting when you test, it might not be a problem ones you open the coaster.

thanks for everything dude your videos have been great and very inspiring! thanks to your videos my builds in planet coaster have improved greatly and i am curious what you think of it? (small timelapses on my channel) Cheers!

A lot of coasters I rode that have mid-course brake runs don't slow the train down but just to run multiple trains. The real coasters also have two sets of block brakes at the end just before the station.

I love the intro for planet coaster college

I love this. For real!

Can't wait to graduate Planet Coaster College!

Fun fact the trim brakes on nitro at great Adventure in New Jersey are turned off and were never used again and are just there for show basically because the park thought the trim brakes took away from the speed and force you feel on the hammerhead element also because they though the ride might lose too much speed and would have a problem with valleying

"This coaster is a disaster" .... shows a almost Silver Star like design, hahaha I lold

I realize this was 5 years ago haha but here I am! Anyway, I wish you went into more depth with the trim brakes as I'm having a hard time getting the settings correct for it to slow my coaster down properly.

Hey, thanks for the tutorial! I have a suggestion though. Can you make a video about coaster reliability? Everytime I build a coaster I get low reliability. I always keep an eye on the speed and G forces to make sure they're not too harsh, I smooth the track until I can't smooth no more and I do use trim brakes when necessary even though it makes the ride a lot less exciting. Sometimes I have to redesign the whole thing and if I'm lucky enough I can make the reliability average. But the rides still break down quite often. Well, it's not clear how it works and it's sooo annoying when profitable coasters break down every 5 minutes or so. Thank you :)

Personally i put the expection time at 20minutes. Normally that makes quite a difference already. Maybe once every year do a refurbish helps as well

Also whilst I'm here, great videos btw Silvarret, is it possible to specify how long the train can be held on the block, I.e. You never want to hold a train at the top of the lift. Therefore can you add a new block section at the base of the lift and tell it to only move onto the lift once the next block is clear?

California Screamin' at Disney California Adventure in Anaheim uses a trim break before the loop. The coaster runs a little faster when it comes into the approach so it can be trimmed for very accurate entry speeds. I don't know if it was a fix or built into design, the track layout seems to point towards the latter. It's not very offensive and it doesn't really affect the pace to me.

Just to add, if you don't care about realism, the gameplay reason to use regular brakes (instead of trim brakes for everything) is that regular brakes cost less and can be set to have a higher deceleration rate.

Worked on a BnM hyper for a while now, everyone hates a particular trim break before a hypothetical pop of airtime

What if you build the station and when you build more in the station the cart gets bigger

Do Coasters with higher G-Forces actually break down faster (in the game)?

Can you disable the lift hill as a block? My 2nd train always have to wait at the top of the hill and I don't want to add an extra block brake in the middle of my track. Is there a solution?

In PC, Trim Brakes are also MUCH more expensive than Friction/Magnetic Brakes, and they murder your Reliability score if you use them too much. I think a single tiny flat section of Trims is like $500. You really only want to use them when they're needed.

Still using this content years later

If you go down and then lifted up, can you also stop it for about 10 seconds on a part that the track is lifting you up?

I know this video is out for a couple of years, but what you haven't talked about is the "power" of the breakes. Well I assume you just have to figure it out how to set them up but sometimes I wonder if it makes any sense if for example you put 5 block segments together you put higher brake speeds on top or at the end of this. (20, 18, 15 etc.) It would be nice if anyone can tell ;)

Is this a on line co-op game where more than one can play in the same game and help each other out at the same time?

This would have been so much easier explained and illustrated if you had just used the word "section" instead of "block" when referring to a portion of track, and had just made a simple oval coaster with a hill or two. It would also help people to understand that the whole reason for blocks is to prevent an even worse catastrophe by preventing the rear trains into smashing into the train in front of them should train in front have a failure. Basically, trains don't get the go-ahead to start onto the next section of track before it's been cleared by the train in front of it.

Its weird that the twist coaster (I don't know the exact name) with the spinning cars n'ignore the block sections. There can be like 2 or 3 trains in the same block section wtf.

Can the the speed of the breaking be set like in rct123?

I hate when the coasters at my home park are only running one train, yet pretty much completely stop at the mid course brake run.

I hate block brakes. I used to operate a rollercoaster and you had to constantly ensure that cars were moving through the station. If we had a person taking there time getting out of the back car and I had already sent the front car out I had to ensure that the back car got out of that position otherwise the whole coaster would shut down and then take ages to get it running again.

Ik snap er geen snars meer van. Ik heb je Hybrid coaster tutorial gekeken en op 20:50 heb je het over die remmen aan het eind, inclusief block brakes. Ik heb dat overgenomen in al mijn coasters, want ik dacht dat dat slim zou zijn. Nu zeg je in deze video dat block brakes aan het einde hebben een "disaster" is. Hoe zou het dan moeten?

@Silvarret

7 жыл бұрын

Block brakes enkel op het einde is vaak een probleem, maar dit is alleen bij lange banen zoals B&M hypercoasters die meestal in het midden een block brake section hebben. Hybrid achtbanen hebben eigenlijk nooit block brakes in het midden en zijn vaak kort genoeg om ze niet nodig te hebben. Regel is in het algemeen dat zolang de treintjes niet bovenaan de lifthill hoeven te wachten (of heel erg lang in het station) dat je geen block brakes halverwege de baan nodig hebt.
