It will be made of a very high strength steel, it would take a lot of wear and tear to actually damage the track, this is just the paint layer that has come off, very unlikely to have been anything else, I would like to know what caused this though.TheSmiler1998 wrote: Yeah it's scrapped on the surface but how do we know that the wear and tear of trains rushing over it won't lead to structural damage?
Almost definitely and probably even the spruce up of X-Sector itself. The more is costs the better it sounds.Themeparksandy1981 wrote:

I would imagine they would keep it as concrete to give the area a harsh experimental sanctuary style look. Also it will save them money and time.Benji wrote: I don't know if anybody knows this, but are they going to pave the queueline or just keep it as a concrete block?
Physics and Mathematics. The rubber/plastic on the wheels is softer than the steel track (though not the paint, obviously), the wheels would break before the steel track does. In addition, all the G-forces have been mathematically calculated by experts at the manufacturer, also the steel will be rated much higher in strength than is actually required for the maths.TheSmiler1998 wrote: Yeah it's scrapped on the surface but how do we know that the wear and tear of trains rushing over it won't lead to structural damage?
Steel is ridiculously touch stuff. Believe me. I'm a tool steel engineer. The tolerances that steel can work under are often immense. I use a milling machine that clamps steel under a 3 ton press. Over the space of about 10 mm square. To put that into perspective that's the weight of 2 family cars on a space no bigger than the whole in the middle of a DVD.Ryster wrote:Physics and Mathematics.

Huhhh.... What??It would be sooo freepy (creepy/ freaky) if the 51373 (smile - 5/31/13) theory became true :O
