Engineers at a theme park in Florida have been amazed to discover that the chain driving their largest white
knuckle ride shows virtually no signs of wear after five years operation. The chain, manufactured by Renold, was recently inspected at the request of the park's maintenance team as a double-check of their own results. Amazingly the inspection showed that their initial findings were correct - there was virtually no wear to any of the chain's components.
According to Renold the exceptional wear resistance is testament not only to the quality of its chain but also to the excellent maintenance regime implemented by the on-site engineering team. The ride in question is the largest at the park rising to 140 feet and turning riders over seven times at speeds of up to 65 miles per hour.
