@@runawaystarfish5943 nah, you’re not whack, it’s normal lol. In general, most things mechanical in nature, a loud noise, such as the loud clicking of the lift chain/ARB system on the lift hill of a coaster, typically means a malfunction or something has broken. Like vehicles or other large pieces of machinery have a smoother sound of the motor running, although some may be louder than others, but in general, a clicking noise equivalent to what you hear on a coaster, would be indicative of a serious mechanical malfunction or that something is severely broken/damaged. Not everything is this way, but most things typically do not make a loud clicking noise when in proper functioning. That being said, when we hear a noise like that while on a large piece of machinery, it is natural for ones mind to correlate that with something negative, like a serious malfunction or something broken. As humans, our brains can sometimes work on repetition, correlating certain things with one another. So, with that being said, even though you know what the noise is on a coaster but still getting anxiety, it’s actually quite normal that your brain automatically, inadvertently correlates the noise with malfunction, causing you to have to redirect that thought process and tell yourself, “Nothing is wrong! I know this noise and it’s a good thing!” Sorry to get all scientific or technical or whatever you want to call it. Just trying to ease your mind that you’re not whack, you’re brain is just playing tricks on you! Lol. Much like I can’t shut my nursing brain off and thus, why you get a response like this lol. Anyway, hope this helps!

Having worked as a tech on multiple coasters previously, I appreciate the level of accuracy your videos always have. As a fun fact, the first safety in the lift mechanism is called a sprag clutch, which prevents the sprocket holding the chain from rotating in the reverse direction when the sprags engage with the clutch's outer race (a circular version of the Vekoma SLC rollback mechanism). As long as the sprocket is held, the chain cannot reverse its direction, preventing the chain from rolling backwards.

The sound of anti-rollbacks clicking is iconic and I will forever cherish it as an enthusiast! A lot of B&M's sound different, but I personally love the louder sound of Nitro's ARBs. PTC trains on wooden coasters have one of the most iconic sounds of all time but my absolute favorite is without a doubt Arrow Dynamic's steel coaster ARB sound. That is without a doubt one of the most unique sounds you'll ever hear on a roller coaster, I just love it.

I once went to a roller coaster camp where they took us behind the scenes to see all of this stuff and they showed us a spare wheel to explain how the coasters stay on the tracks. They also went and showed off a piece of metal and said "this is one of the many things that guaruntee that you will NEVER fall backwards on a coaster" and it was an anti-rollback dog. It was so cool to learn about all of these safety features (my other favorite was how the computer in the loading station can tell if a harness isn't engaged and will not let the car leave the station until all harnesses are down) No hearing all of these sounds and seeing all these ladders and railings makes me feel calm knowing that so many people cared about making sure I was safe while screaming my head off and flying through the air.

Part of me wonders if an active ARB would have reduced the severity of injuries as a result of the smiler crash, because it would have prevented the empty car rolling backwards from where the car stalled. The two cars would have then collided on a climb which would have reduced impact speed. Mind you, none of this would have happened if the ride ops had payed attention to the computer system warnings.

@@soentrueman7944 As I understand it they didn't merely fail to pay attention to the warnings they had to actively override them. The former would be negligent sure but actively overriding safety interlocks elevates it to recklessness in my mind. The decision to actively override a safety system is a conscious decision to operate with a diminished safety margin. At least it is unless sufficient operating procedures are in place to compensate for the missing system with something equally reliable. In this case, I presume the warning would have been indicating that an object triggered a sensor at the start of the ride and failed to reach sensors later in the run when it should have. Sure a sensor glitch could potentially trigger something like this so having an override exist makes sense but the minimum procedure to override a warning like that should have been a visual inspection of the entire track to ensure that there are no stalled cars or anything else that should not be present on the track first. It really doesn't seem that hard to me though it might require someone to get off their ass for a minute if the visibility of parts of the ride is restricted from the control booth.

Another awesome video! One neat thing you probably already knew, but didn't have time in the video to explain, is that on a lot of the B+M coasters (certainly the 3 at Canada's Wonderland), the ARB rack on the lift itself actually isn't fixed permanently in place. It can slide parallel to the direction of travel of the train, and is broken up into many small segments. Each segment has a rubber bumper at the end of it, which takes up the shock load that would otherwise be seen when the backward-rolling train suddenly engages it. Even at a slow speed this would result in an infinitely high force which could potentially break one of the ratchet pawls, or at least make a massive bang and make for a very uncomfortable stop - so those bumpers take up and cushion that shock load.

Love how most of the coasters(Wilde Beast, Vortex, Behemoth {my favorite} Leviathan and Yukon Striker) in this video were from my home park, Canada's wonderland.

Space mountain at Disneyland CA uses a similar ARBS to the Vekoma SLC, except the cams are mounted to the track and the fins are on the trains. The fins are also used on the brake runs limiting the weight of the trains.

I work at flamingo land as a mechanical and electrical engineer, my main ride is SIK "intamin inversion 10 rev B" we use the gas piston assisted ARB pawl. However this system is slightly different to accommodate the 38kph catch cart lift speed. Connected to the ARB pawl is 2 discs with 28 opposed neodymium magnets, these rotate on wheel that is situated next to the rack, when the train is moving eddie currents are generated to lift the pawl to prevent a very rapid and destructive "clacking" this lift energy is directly proportional to the train speed so if a fail condition is met, the pawl instantly drops into the rack.

Love how the roller coaster in the thumbnail has a lift system that doesn’t require anti-rollbacks so it doesn’t make the click clack sound.

A ride in a theme park near me (Dream Catcher) uses an ARB system with pawls on the lifthill and gears on the trains. Instead of a rattle it produces an awesome shotgun pump-like sound every few seconds, sounds super ominous when the train climbs the lifthill

Okay I’ll be honest. I thought this was just kinda general knowledge of what it is if you ride some roller coasters. But still a good quality video, went in depth.

I certainly didn't know it, nor had I ever given it much thought, though I must admit that when I saw the video's title I immediately thought that it was probably some kind of ratcheting system to prevent it from rolling back. :)

Rollercoaster Tycoon uses the click sound on lift hills but when the train malfunctions and goes backward down lift hills there's no safety at all to prevent the train from crashing into the station.
