Tripsdrill Discussion Thread

It won't be 0-100 as it will most likely be a rolling launch. Probably something like 25-100 in 1.6 seconds. -
Vialand (Turkey) Intamin LSM Construction
_koppen replied to Gutterflower's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The one in Romon World will be a Kanonen clone, just with a lift hill and drop before the top hat instead of a launch. Since there is more space avalible for it, some of the transitions have been worked out to provide a better ride. Really? You have 2 coasters for this park. You have 2 coasters for Cincinnati World, Italy. 10-inversion coaster for Hopi Hari. 10-inversion coaster for Chongqing Safari Park (this is the only one there are no pictures of so far). Fly Rider for victory Kingdom. Moto coaster for Djurs Sommerland. That's 8 coaster you can follow, that's more than what they usually builds in an off season. -

Are they so horrible there not worth the credit? -
Are We A Dying Breed?
_koppen replied to nhman93's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I can only imagine the amount of coaster enthusiast's that will start to pop up in china, and the amount of online forums they will have in a few years. Maybe that could be something for TPR? Get somebody that knows Chinese to help you start up a Chinese division of the site? Or maybe it's just to much work, I really don't have a clue, but it's always good to be first with something. -
As said earlier, there is 7 millions people living in the area, and there's another 8 million living 3 hours away in the country's capital. Plus Malaysia & Singapore gets a lot of tourism from China, Japan and even Australia. Not to mention all the backpacking people in the area. This park can be a huge success for Six Flags, if done right. I love Malaysia. it's defiantly the most evolved and western style (except for Thailand) country in the region.

Hersheypark knew exactly what they were getting when building Skyrush. -
What is a better formula for a coaster?
_koppen replied to gforce1994's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Let's not forget that putting inversions on a ride also makes a fair amount of people not wanna ride it. -
Why all the screaming, Robb?
_koppen replied to douggw's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If you read his post again, then you can see that it's more towards the way people are talking to each other on the internet, rather than the videos. I personally love TPR videos, and will continue to do so. -

Here's how a wave pool looks like under construction. -
How well do you handle hangtime?
_koppen replied to Vid_w's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I love hang time. There's such an awesome feeling going over the top on a Maurer Skyloop with both hands in the air. I have however had a bad experience once on a booster ride, but that was due to very bad and minimalistic restraints. -

Is it confirmed that the new slides are for the Proslide complex, and not for the play structure? -

Looks like these slide types are what's missing from the boardwalk. -
The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread
_koppen replied to Wes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Considering all the problems with Kingda Ka's testing, and just how hard it was for them to get the ride to clear the top hat, I really wonder who would be willing to buy a taller one. Probably someone in China. -

Considering ProSlide aren't providing anything for the announced water parks in Vegas, I really doubt that's what they are doing. -

The one in Djurs is still going, but it had some pretty long down time this year. -
Gröna Lund Discussion Thread
_koppen replied to Tobias94's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The plans were very much approved, the neighbors to the park got the plans cancelled afterwards. ?? If something is approved, how can it then be cancelled afterwards by the neighbours? Surely this is what the planning approval stage is for? Because they raised hell about it, witch in the end made the politicians retract the approval. -
