What is your favorite seat on a coaster and why?
Vid_w replied to a topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Back for several reasons: 1. I prefer acceleration to decceleration... I mean, for example, in the loop, in the front row, I always get pushed forward into the restraints becouse of the decceleration caused by the back of the train... 2. Usually more airtime... Well, at least on the coasters i've been on... 3. the wait is usually minimal. -

I just read on miraforever.com, that the first load of track was delivered today at 4pm! Yay, finally! There's supposed to be more news about it tomorrow. Oh, and it also said, that they have a month of delay allready... I wonder if this ride will even open till fall... Oh, and also, there's a rumor, that Mirabilandia is getting the Lo-Q system, which is the same as the Q-Bots at Six Flags... Interesting -

What is your local park?
Vid_w replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm a homeparkless person. The closest is probably Prater, which is like a 4 hour drive away. The second closest being Gardaland, with a 4.5 hour drive, and the third Mirabilandia, with a 5.5 hour drive... That is, if I'm lucky with traffic... -

I love the idea of the never ending airtime hill... And the "more faster" gear -

Six Flags Magic Mountain Terminator Salvation: The Ride

Does this go for the people outside US too? I'd love a bag-o-crap! -
Yes, I was just thinking the same thing.... But, what type could that be? I can't really think of a new style for B&M... But, the darien Lake standup theory sounds quite plausible too... :7

So, no more Autosplash? I loved that ride, and it was the ride that ate away the crowds from the really good rides... -

Italian: Source: Staff @ Parksmania So, I'm not exactly sure what that is supposed to mean... I can understand the arrival of the track pieces, and that the trains will launch directly from the station. But i cannot understand the middle part... Are they going to tear down auto splash and the mirabilandia express too? Also: http://parksmania.it/parco_news.php?pid=2&nid=3824 Here you can find a pic of the inside of the station... If you look carefully, you can see there's 3 release dors for entering the train, so that means 3 car trains! -

^Is mummy a shuttle coaster? If yes, than this could be the first continuous circuit coaster with a backwards launch... Also, see how many coasters launch you backwards? It clearly is possible... -
Alton Towers Discussion Thread
Vid_w replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^Well, If the launch was like 1G strong, it would be just as the first ascent on the deja Vu clones... With proper restraints it could be done easily... Urgh, just figured... That would probably mean OTSRs... -

I've come to the conclusion it's a megalite... Clickety Click You ca tell the heighth of the track by the width of the barcing... The first helix is almost on the ground, so the bracing isn't that wide... The next section is probably a hill, it doesn't have any bracing... Is there a valley there? becouse that could indicate a descent not far from the ground... Anyway, the next is a short turn, another hill, and another short turn. Than the double S section looks suspiciously like this... See the double S? than another hill, and a turn, that would lead into the switchback... the train would than travel backwards through that helix. Which is the only thing that bothers me... Why so drawn out? You can see it's larger than the first helix... The only reasonable thing that comes to my mind is a backwards launch... But, it's probably not gonna happen... Well, that's basically how I imagine the layout... -

And the italian version: So, if I get this ride, there will be more news on parksmania.it over the weekend, including pictures of the "building material", which I think means the track and supports...? Awesome!
