Scenic Railway
Because the Scenic Railway is a side friction coaster, it is not mechanically locked on to the rails. The brakeman is required to
slow the train to keep it safely on the track. As of 2015, I know of only six operating coasters that still use a brakeman on the trains:
- Hullámvasút at Holnemvolt Park (formerly Vidámpark) in Budapest, Hungary (pictures coming soon)
- Montaña Suiza at Parque de Atracciones Monte Igueldo in San Sebastián, Guipuzcoa, Spain
- Roller Coaster at Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England, UK (pictures coming soon)
- Rutschebanen at
Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark
- Scenic Railway at Luna Park in Melbourne, Australia
- Vuoristorata at
Linnanmäki in Helsinki, Finland
