The most common type is the friction brake, often called a fin brake, which involves a series of hydraulic-powered clamps that close and squeeze metal fins that are attached to the underside of a coaster train. Other common types include skid brakes and magnetic brakes. These different types are divided into two main categories; trim brakes refer to brake runs that slow the train, while block brakes are brake sections that stop the train completely. Roller coasters may incorporate multiple brake runs throughout the coaster's track layout to adjust the train's speed at any given time.<sup id="cite_ref-Brakes-HowStuffWorks_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Brakes-HowStuffWorks-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>While modern roller coasters have at least one computer-controlled brake run embedded in the track, older coasters such as <a href="/wiki/The_Great_Scenic_Railway" title="The Great Scenic Railway">The Great Scenic Railway</a> at <a href="/wiki/Luna_Park,_Melbourne" title="Luna Park, Melbourne">Luna Park Melbourne</a> may have brakes onboard the train and rely on a brakeman operator to apply them as needed.

The term can be misleading as the buzzing sound only occurs on <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Toboggan_Coasters" title="Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters">Philadelphia Toboggan Company (PTC)</a> trains when the <a href="/wiki/Solenoid" title="Solenoid">solenoid</a> that releases the bar is out of alignment. There are other train types, such as NAD and even some PTC trains, that feature a single-position lap bar that has a mechanical release and therefore does not produce a buzzing sound. Most parks have switched to individual ratcheting lap bars, similar to the lap bars found on steel coasters. Ironically some of the earlier ratcheting lap bar conversions use a solenoid release and can also produce a buzzing sound. It can be argued that single-position buzz bars afford riders more <a href="/wiki/Air_time_(rides)" title="Air time (rides)">air time</a> on roller coasters, as ratcheting lap bars tend to lock further during the ride in many installations. </p><p>The traditional "<a href="/wiki/Pirate_ship_(ride)" title="Pirate ship (ride)">pirate ship</a>" style thrill ride often utilizes this type of restraint, as does the <a href="/wiki/Troika_(ride)" title="Troika (ride)">Troika</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Drive_tire">Drive tire</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_roller_coaster_elements&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Drive tire"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A drive tire, or squeeze tire depending on its usage, is a <a href="/wiki/Electric_motor" title="Electric motor">motorized</a> <a href="/wiki/Tire" title="Tire">tire</a> used to propel a roller coaster train along a piece of track. Although they are most often used in station areas and <a href="/wiki/Brake_run" title="Brake run">brake runs</a>, they can also be used to launch trains at greater speeds. However, they are generally used to propel the train at speeds between 5-8 mph. <a href="/wiki/The_Incredible_Hulk_Coaster" title="The Incredible Hulk Coaster">The Incredible Hulk Coaster</a> at Universal's <a href="/wiki/Islands_of_Adventure" class="mw-redirect" title="Islands of Adventure">Islands of Adventure</a> is notable for using drive tires to launch the train up an incline. </p><p>Some roller coasters use drive tires instead of a chain on lift hills.

In this case, it is usually the brake fin that is used to propel or slow the train with the tires. When oriented vertically, they contact the underside of the train as it crosses a particular section of track. This underside area is a flat area which often has a grated metal surface to increase friction between the car and the tire. One disadvantage of vertical drive tires is that rainy weather can greatly reduce friction between the tire and the train, possibly causing the train to slightly overshoot its intended position and cause an emergency stop. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Headchopper">Headchopper</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_roller_coaster_elements&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Headchopper"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:El_Toro_headchopper.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/El_Toro_headchopper.jpg/190px-El_Toro_headchopper.jpg" decoding="async" width="190" height="253" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/El_Toro_headchopper.jpg/285px-El_Toro_headchopper.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/El_Toro_headchopper.jpg/380px-El_Toro_headchopper.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1536" data-file-height="2048" /></a><figcaption>A headchopper on <a href="/wiki/El_Toro_(Six_Flags_Great_Adventure)" title="El Toro (Six Flags Great Adventure)">El Toro</a></figcaption></figure> <p>A <b>headchopper</b> is the name of an element where the support structure of the ride or a portion of the track appears to come very close to making contact with passengers, particularly with their heads.

Rather than using a standard enclosed spinning rotor and drive wheels, there is a long flat magnetic pole plate with closely spaced electric coils. This pole plate mounts on the track underneath the car and a matching metal plate attached to the car moves across the magnetic pole faces. By applying a multiphase alternating current to the poles, the pole plate induces <a href="/wiki/Eddy_currents" class="mw-redirect" title="Eddy currents">eddy currents</a> into the moving plate and can be used to accelerate or brake the car. </p><p>Compared to other drive mechanisms, the linear motor is typically maintenance-free. The pole faces on the track and moving plate attached to the car do not need to touch, and the gap between them can be quite wide to accommodate any side-to-side car motion, so there is no friction or wear between them. Further, the magnetic coil assembly on the driving pole plates are either <a href="/wiki/Electronic_packaging#Potting" title="Electronic packaging">potted</a> or sealed in a weathertight enclosure, so that rain, vibration, and dust do not affect motor performance or cause drive motor slippage. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="On-ride_camera">On-ride camera</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_roller_coaster_elements&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: On-ride camera"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/On-ride_camera" title="On-ride camera">On-ride camera</a></div> <p>An on-ride camera is a <a href="/wiki/Camera" title="Camera">camera</a> mounted alongside the track of a roller coaster that automatically photographs all of the riders on passing trains.

After a train is hauled up the lift and begins to descend down the hill in a standard configuration, the force of gravity pulls the train cars that are still hooked to the lift. When a pre-drop is used, the tension and stress on the lift mechanism is reduced prior to the train's release. The element is commonly found on early B&M roller coasters, as well as older roller coasters from other manufacturers. An alternative name "trick hill" comes from the illusion created from the pre-drop, which "tricks" riders into thinking they have already started the main descent, when in fact they haven't. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Station">Station</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_roller_coaster_elements&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Station"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The station is the area where guests waiting in a line queue board a roller coaster.

In a heartline roll the center of the train rotates on one axis so the height of the average rider's heart never changes, whereas during an in-line twist the train rotates around the track and there is usually little to no elevation difference in the track.

Splashdowns can be used as a natural braking system, and some coasters feature pathways for non-riding visitors to view or get wet from the splashdown element. There are two types. </p> <ul><li>A natural splashdown is an element in which the track of the vehicle partially submerges underwater. It is featured on several roller coasters such as <a href="/wiki/Matterhorn_Bobsleds" title="Matterhorn Bobsleds">Matterhorn Bobsleds</a> at <a href="/wiki/Disneyland" title="Disneyland">Disneyland</a>.</li> <li>A scoop splashdown is an element in which each train is equipped with two tubes – called scoops – on the rear sides of each train. The scoops are angled upward, causing water to spray as the train passes close to a body of water. A number of <a href="/wiki/Bolliger_%26_Mabillard" title="Bolliger & Mabillard">Bolliger & Mabillard</a> coasters feature the element, such as <a href="/wiki/Griffon_(roller_coaster)" title="Griffon (roller coaster)">Griffon</a> at <a href="/wiki/Busch_Gardens_Williamsburg" title="Busch Gardens Williamsburg">Busch Gardens Williamsburg</a>, <a href="/wiki/SheiKra" title="SheiKra">SheiKra</a> at <a href="/wiki/Busch_Gardens_Tampa" class="mw-redirect" title="Busch Gardens Tampa">Busch Gardens Tampa</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Diamondback_(roller_coaster)" class="mw-redirect" title="Diamondback (roller coaster)">Diamondback</a> at <a href="/wiki/Kings_Island" title="Kings Island">Kings Island</a>.
