They put a trim just before that series of small hills? I think they look like they'd be taken slow as they are!

Heavens! I think I need my glasses...

I remember seeing pictures of track of Sheikra laying on the site for ages before they started construction or announced it. Don't know.

^ By the look of the connect-y thingys on the supports of the hill after the raven turn, it looks like...I don't know what it looks like...maybe it'll do a quick fly-to-lie and then twist around again. Anyway if you look, the piece that connects to the track in the middle of the hill is facing upwards, then the next support is facing to the side and then the others are facing downwards again.

Is the Flyer a Superman clone? I have a feeling it is because the track goes under the brakes in both this one and Superman. Not that that's really anything to go by.

Hey is there a ride that goes into the whale's mouth? I swear I've seen a boat travelling into it in some Disneyland picture book or something...

I'm pretty sure this hasn't been posted, so here are some videos of Superman Escape; a POV and two videos of Aussie sport stars on the coaster. http://www.supermanescape.com.au/se/the_ride.aspx?docId=26 (They're the pics on the right)

So was there any climax after that?? Or was that all??

What happened in Alien Encounter? I remember seeing it briefly on some show but not knowing what actually happened...it looked really cool though.

I don't think they're 'Custom SLC's' like rcdb says they are...they're just a new layout Vekoma is cloning. There are two other coasters of exactly the same layout, all built in the last four years... http://www.rcdb.com/id2978.htm http://www.rcdb.com/id1681.htm

Well the title Aquatica doesn't rule out dive machines, since Sheikra has a water-splash....

I thought he was a bit irritating anyway; especially with the Venga Boys music that always played! Cheesy...that's the word I'm looking for.

I like the station.

It'd be cool if they got the fastest, (probably not the tallest; I don't think it fits with the racing theme) caoster in the world.

And the website says so.

I live in Australia; it's the afternoon of the 16th right now.

Only 1 day to go!

It's 100 Kilometres per hour, which is approx 60 miles per hour I think. We use the metric system over here.

I love the travelling show's The Claw, but I think it might be called the Spin Out in America.

Hey, doesn't nitro have a sort of a looney tunes/cartoony type theming, because it's in the Looney Tunes seaport?? Well that's what the map says anyway. I like the colours of Nitro, and if it's meant to have a cartoonish theming, I reckon that's really cooly unique for a hyper or any large-scale coaster.

Oh is THAT what that is?

The drop tower seems to be the trend here... I used to hate them but after riding The Giant Drop, I realised it's a feeling you have to get used to; the whole bloodrushing to the head/loosing the stomach/gravity pulling/intense feeling dropping 390 ft thing. by the second ride my arms were flailing about as we were dropping!

You all do know the story line to superman escape, right? If not, here it is (sorry, I know this is off topic: last one)... SUPERMAN ESCAPE will be an unprecedented rollercoaster ride experience with an exciting pre-show adventure themed around the world's most popular Super Hero. Guests will commence their adventure in a Metropolis subway loading dock. As they travel through the subway, a terrifying earthquake takes hold and threatens their safe passage. To escape the catastrophe, Superman rescues guests by propelling their carriage out of the subway, then vertically upwards at 100km per hour! What follows is an exhilarating and hair raising rollercoaster ride experience like no other on the planet...

Well seriously now, I'm designing a sit down coaster where the trains blow up just as they're about to leave the station.
