Wie die US-Tageszeitung "Daily Item" berichtet hat sich GCI das Patent für einen neuen Schienentypus namens "Titan Track" gesichert. Dieser soll auf Holz-, Hybrid- und Stahlachterbahnen eingesetzt werden können.
Owner Clair Hain Jr. said a patent application has been filed for Titan Track through the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
[...]
The patent-pending steel track system has no welds. The track is a full rivet based system that allows for less maintenance, less need for frequent testing, and easy replacement of the rivets when needed, said Hain.
[...]
The new steel track allows for some new ride elements not able to be done with current rides. The new track is fully capable of inverting with corkscrews or loops, being used in a launch application, and traveling high stress elements not possible with wood, said Hain.
