Maintanence Crane Collapses at Scandia (9/2011)
_koppen replied to devol4's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
What is it with all the booster accidents? If it isn't the ride itself, then there is a crane to fall over it.. -

This is true, no official info yet. There is also a rumors that this will be another B&M giga. -

There is no way the coaster will be as intense as in that video. It may be more intense than the last inverted coasters, but not nearly as what is shown in that video. -

Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
_koppen replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
KD, WoF, and Dorney will most likely get one. Valleyfair and CGA have height limits. Dorney has a height limit of, I believe, up to 210 feet depending on the point in the park. Windseeker is also avalible in a 210 feet version with 50 seats.. Even smaller version's is avalible so I don't think height limit's is a problem. -

Nokia is also a pretty good example of this. -

I'm guessing that Behemoth is way more popular than Diamondback and Intimidator, and that's what made them go for another hyper style coaster. -

What da fuck is that? AWSOME! This is for sure the ride of 2012! Just a bit jealous that the same park has two of the worlds best hypers! -

Juding by the pictures on the previous site, it will be a wing rider. the flying coasters use the round style of track, while both Raptor and Dollywood's new coaster track use the straight ones. A dive machine has a mix of both like griffon here: I'm really ecited about this! -

Europa Park Discussion Thread
_koppen replied to Ultracoasters's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Any other park installing that kind of theming would impress me, but this what I expect out of Europa Park. -
Do you wanna PM me what the owner said about future rides? I won't tell anybody. I'm gonna move to Århus to my girlfriend, so Sommerland along with Friheden will be my homepark. It's a shame about the height restrictions! Zamperla's new Vertical Swing park model is 40m tall, and I found it to more than enough thrilling, of course it's not gonna be as thrilling as Tivoli's 80 meter monster, but Sommerland is more of a family park. This would be a great addition. Also a pirate themed Splash Battle to the right of the watercoaster. And since the water attractions are so popular, maybe an Intamin Spillwater is to consider, like Yucatan in Rainbow Magicland. But I'm just guessing, it would be nice to hear some real info, so please, feel free to PM me

Out of all coasters in Alton Towers I would actually prefer Rita. But then he could just have gone to Heide Park, much closer. So I'm guessing hes been checking out thirteen. (but I'm hoping not) Personally I think they should go with an Intamin Jetski coaster, thrilling for the whole family! Would also like to se an Intamin Gyro Drop around 70 meters, but as with all danish parks, there most be some stupid height restrictions.

Why would Intamin give away a 5 million dollar ride? -
Moser Gravity (Drop) Towers
_koppen replied to martinb's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I found another one (of the modern version) in a mall in China. This one is 60 meters high, and been operating since 2005. There is also a clone of the tower in the former Karolinelund in Texas, can't remember wich park. -
I thought I knew all the giant Intamin Gyro swing's in the world, but now I have stumbled upon this picture: There is actually another one of these rides, and I just can't found out where the hell it is located! I was guessing one of the Happy Valley parks, but no, they only have the one in Shanghai. Anyone know where it is?

B&M hyper's are boring! Their last coaster was Intamin, why couldn't they have stayed with them, and get a sick top 10 mega coaster!!!
