We are in the opertator station, it is here than we manage the whole ride.
Before activating the maintenance mode, we will achieve a standard run
for the pleasure of our riders.
I'm in front of the command panel.
After the ground operator's agreement by pushing a button,
I can proceed with the first step : weighing.
You can see that the gondola rises.
Those electrical contacts, which are hung to it, are separate from the base, leading to the harnesses' locking.
While the ground operator check harnesses,
I can see on the screen, the passengers' weight
which will determine, next to it, the pressure required to propel the gondola at the top of the tower,
71 psi, so approximately 5 bars.
After the ground operator's agreement, I go to the next step :
compressed air tanks filling.
We can see the pressure increase, on the screen,
and on the pressure gauge.
We've got enough pressure,
I will proceed to the final step.
For safety, it is not with one but two buttons,
in addition to the ground opertor's agreement,
that we order the launch.
The whole air is released in pistons,
the gondola take off.
Here we go for the maintenance mode.
The principle,
the gondola rises and come down slowly,
to inspect the tower.
For us, it is mainly to watch the overview in unique conditions.
I let you enjoy,
without comments.
Here are three videos of the main rides of the park, don't miss them.
