I may stand corrected, but are we sure this is LSMs, not just basic magnets?
I would think static magnets (like those found on Schwarzkopf brake runs or the launch tracks of Intamin Accelerators) would be a much more practical solution.
The main difference being that the term "LSM" means they are electromagnets - which I'm not sure is the case here. LSM fins can be used as static magnetic brakes on brake runs, but they can ALSO actively accelerate the train. Static magnets only do the stopping part.
I can't really see why, if this does have a chain lift like the Smiler, they'd bother putting all the wiring and control systems on. Semantics I know, but then we are coaster nerds... :lol:
