[edit] 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 want's 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.
