Floorless Coaster Loading?

I've never seen a floorless coaster, so i was wondering..

How exactly do they load people on and off the trains, if there's nothing below their feet, except the track and wheels and brakes and whatnot.

pretty special... eh.

Griffon's detracting floor is the most spectacular one due to it's size:

oh right, thanks guys!

wow that is impressive hardware, my jaw actually dropped

and .... 0o, the positioning of the trains must be EXACT to line up everything so it dosn't jam

I do hope that NL2 has more dynamic stations that support this and the rising floor of a inverted/suspended coaster

Actually I believe the next innovation for floorless coater loading is a crane above the train that picks people up and drops them into the seat. [:D]

... not before executing the most impressive "atomic wedgie" in history.

hahaha, that was funny what cygnus12 said.

Nah, they should go all RCT on us so we just have to stand next to the seat we want and we'll be TELEPORTED into it!

lol I always liked that in RCT. Especially in RCT3, where they go into a midair sitting position on the loading platform for a split second before appearing in the car in the same sitting position.

I like your avatar btw Z00Z3R; that's a pretty stiff punch.

Yes, and there's nothing like when the ride ops on Griffon say something along the lines of "The Floor is dropping, and there's no stopping" or "There goes the floor and down goes the door" I love it. Gives me the chills haha.

Yea, it looks pretty tight.

wat happens if all the mechanics are on the ride and it breaks down? i mean thers no floor to support them, and thos dudes in the middle would be screwed! [flush] but then they could jst fire up the teleporters and everything would be alrite cus mechanic number 1 is always on the job, never slacking.[:p]

i'm guessing they have some sort of ladders to put across the gap manually, in case of emergency

or even just long peices of strong boards or something.

There is a net under the station also. And you guys forget that you still do have the linkages between the cars. Even in the front row the center seats can rest their feet on it.

Woah, I've never seen a dive macing one, that's pretty sweet!

I thought the one on scream was cool but that dive machine one was amazing!

Ive always wanted to go on a floorless coaster but there is none by where i live

Why... Why do you do this, newbies?

the way the floor drops on griffon is pretty sweet. i looks really cool.
