Any haulback to control the rate of descent JF?

Is there a braking system or is it balls to the wall?

I'm on my way!

 

[jf1962]

The flight line has breaking system down below , you come down onto a plat form .. Here is the one that was done in Vegas http://www.lasvegassun.com/photos/galleries/2008/aug/27/bootleg-canyon-flight-line/

Same kind of set up...

Can't wait for the first ride !!!
