Gave up huh? Fred Pearce designed it!

Nope; the ride is Defunct if that helps.

Nobody is correct yet. Seven more guesses.

Nope

DBru guessed the the coaster in the hint, but now what coaster is in the picture.

Not Thunderbolt. This coaster was designed by the same person that designed one of the most notorious currently SBNO roller coasters.

How about this really hard one.

The layout of the footings looks like the layout of the super secret image of a coaster on the GCI intern website.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned being near the end of Top Thrill Dragster's launch.

I was reading through his patents, it looks like he has a lot of unnecessary/redundant technology. I can't blame him for trying to do something different. The inverted woodie would make for one wild ride. He should be able to post renderings of his work. All he needs is a copyright, he already has a patent, so he doesn't have much to worry about. If someone stole his idea he would have some leverage to get some compensation. Personally I think the ride could work, but would not be cost effective from a maintenance standpoint. Wood would have to be constantly replaced due to the stresses of being mounted on the side of a beam, rather than be cradled underneath. The force controlled trains seem very odd to me. Even if you were able to control the G-Force going into the drop, you would actually be creating higher G-Forces at the bottom When the springs/pneumatics are fully compressed. The force control system is just an over elaborate fix for the old world vertical curves on a roller coaster. This problem was solved long ago with the lead in/lead outs of modern coasters. Like I said, I'm glad he is thinking, but definitely over thinking. The sign of a good engineer is one that can solve a problem, the sign of a great engineer is one that can do it in the most simple way.

I like Mantis, Raptor I cant stand. The tops of the inversions are awful, and the transition onto the brakes is severe. The post painful coaster for the crotch I have been on is Scooby's Ghoster Coaster at KI. Not a male friendly ride!

Could it be for weight displacement of the train? Seems like a short train would have an awful lot of force in a concentrated area versus a longer train.

Renegade has had a large gum wall/vandalism wall within a month of the ride opening. Since then VF has painted all the wood a dark color so the writing would not be able to be read. Go figure it was from all the school field trips during that time. Dumb kids, why do they have to be so disrespectful?
