I worked on a rollercoaster/haunted house type ride at a sixflags park, made
by the company MACK.   they used a regenerative brake speed regulation
system on the slopes to charge a super capacitor bank for power to climb the
next slope.

      mind you, this was a rather boring ride to many, was a family friendly
ride with more focus on decor and effects.  it was a great application of
regenerative braking, with a storage system that works well with fast
recharging.
