A primary concern for many riders will be if the bogie will be able to support the full weight of the cabin. Or people would be concern about getting stranded somewhere if the mechanism fails. While looking at the design created by the previous year, I noticed a lot of the functionality is centered around the large two wheels located around the center of the bogie. If these were to fail, the cabin would face a large predicament. By making the turning mechanism on the bogie into two separate parts, we can have an operator input commands into the outer lower wheels in case the larger ones fail. By allowing the outer lower wheels to rest on the railway, it can take some of the weight relieving the larger midsection wheels. This design should still work like the previous years design in turning. This design is a little bulkier but should be able to be optimized to be smaller and more cost efficient. The new railway design is more complex meaning it would also cost more but would provide more options in case of failure.
