Phantom's Revenge

The train has incredible speed at the end of the ride!  In fact, during its first season of operation, they had problems stopping it.  Even with full brakes applied here, the train took so much room to decelerate that it passed the first set of brakes and only the second set in the station could stop it!  Presently, a set of magnetic trim brakes installed on the last hill slows the train enough to allow a two-train operation.
