Opening Sentence

The statement that any ride that has the potential to rollback will have these brakes is not entirely true. All rollercoasters have some sort of anti-rollback mechanism on the lift. Usually this is a ratchet device under the train, called an anti-rollback dog, that catches in anti-rollback ratchets on the track that just stops the train. On traditional coasters like this, there are no "brakes" to prevent a rollback. [1] I don't know if someone wants to change it to specifiy hydraulically launched coasters or add the anti-rollback information...probably the latter since a rollback doesn't occur on just TTD and KK.

Rollbacks may occur on any launched coaster; however, for shuttles, whether a train has "rolled back" is, for obvious reasons, a moot point. Timetrial3141592 21:18, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
