Question : Can anyone tell me how the elevator lift system on Millenium Force works
Is it similar to their accelerator coasters (a catch car, 2 launch cables and a retractor cable)
Answer:
You're kinda right.It works pretty much like an elevator. Think of the train as the enclosed "box" that elevator passengers ride in. Attached to it, you have a series of cables attached to the top of the cabin, that glide through a drive winch pulley system. On the other end of these cables is a counterweight to keep the cabin balanced. As the elevator moves up, the counterweight lowers, and vice versa.What technologically separates MF from an actual elevator is that there's only one cable and, as you mentioned, a catch car to engage the train with. There is also no retractor cable; one of the disadvantages to a cable lift system is the need for the cable to return to the bottom of the lift hill, where the drive winch is, after lifting each train so the catch car can engage and dispatch the next train out.

Question : how does a hydraulic lift system work ( a lift for lifting cars in an automotive shop)
i am working with an old single ram hydraulic lift for lifting cars inside an old auto shop, it is i presume an air over hydraulic oil type system.
Answer:
A high pressure air compressor forces hydraulic fluid into a cylinder causing the cylinder to rise vertically, thus lifting the vehicle. Releasing the air pressure permits the weight of the vehicle to force the fluid out and the lift lowers.
