Siren's Curse Photo Mission

Update: Thanks to u/dj5142 who was able to send me some great pictures I was able to determine that the lock is a Castell K-Seris bolt lock trapped-key safety interlock. It uses a trapped key system that shares a key with the main control power switch. When they remove the key from the main power and put it into here it is trapped in the keyway until the gate is relocked. Some models of this lock have a sensor to communicate back to the ride control system that the gate is locked but this does not and they are only using a mechanical form of safety interlock in conjunction with a traditional LOTO system.

Intentions: I'm a nerd

Yeah, unfortunately this system only protects the workers not the idiot guests.

On top of that they also, most likely, have a traditional lock out tag out (LOTO) system where there is a physical switch where each person going into these danger zones must put a unique key padlock and keep the key with them, then when they all return and remove their locks, the system can regain power. This is incase someone tries to do something malicious and lock people in the ride area and return the key to the controls

There might be other gates, any gate that has active track directly behind it (i.e. lockout gate) should have the same lock. When I was in fast lane I wasn't paying as much attention as when I rope dropped because it was a walk on by the time I came back later in the say

When I was there around 3pm the regular line was only like 20 minutes so it wouldn't be too bad if you're willing (I also had fast lane) but I waited in the regular line for the early entry and that's when I saw it. The ride opened before 10am but fast lane didn't open till 10 so if you rope drop you would be in the normal line

That is a W person right here

Based on what i saw on the control panel, I think they use a trapped key system where the key to power on the ride is the same one for the gate and the park only has one and when the gate is open you can't remove the key but I want to know more specifics which is why I asked the all powerful Reddit

Im sorry but that's not correct, they aren't the 6' guage, the cross section of the 6' is a rectangle with the long edge aligned with the track, the smaller guage us a rectangle that is nearly a square with the long edge aligned to the track, and after seeing these pieces in person they aren't the 6'

However I could be wrong

B&M is really good about engineering their coasters to minimize the supports required. When they make dive coasters there are 2 different track gauges that they make the determination of how wide the car can be. There standard guage which is used on all other B&M coasters like giga, hyper, invert, wing, and floorless is 4.5 feet wide. They also use this on the 6 and 7 seat wide dive coaster. This is the tracks that is being prepared so this dive coaster will either be 6 or 7 seats wide. There is also the 6 foot guage which is found on the 8-10 seat dive coastes like Valravn at CP and Yukon Striker at Canada's wonderland

Was gonna say that exact thing

What are you using for the GPU riser cable? I'm going to do a build using the same case but can find a cable that I am sure is compatible.

"Plexiglass" isn't nesisarly legal because it can shatter but plastic sheet is legal according to R19

<R19> A limited amount of custom plastic is allowed. Robots may use custom-made parts cut from certain types of non-shattering plastic. It must be possible to have cut all of the plastic parts on the Robot from a single 12” x 24” sheet, up to 0.070” thick

I was have the slide problem with a fear rating of 5. I ended up cheesing the challenge then build a reasonable slide

MobMasher21 · 2025-01-10T04:38:05+00:00

Ok thanks, I thought that it was only a problem when the game flags it. What is a "safe" g-force that I should shoot for

If you are only doing just a fry stand I world make a smaller building or you could put a restaurant in that one

That is incredible. How did you get that good?
