Mirabilandia Discussion Thread

Don't see how this could be another freaking Beemer, unless B&M has been on lockdown for the past few years working on every coaster they've announced for 2012. Which is probably true. -

Was a B&M hyper cancelled out? -
[RCT2] Sunny Thrills

The launch track needs to be much longer, the hill after the tophat is a bit awkward- perhaps you should change that to make it smooth. -
Well...what are going to be the many firsts? We only have one (Drop track), and BGW said "many". Fastest in the park? Not likely. We're missing something, and it's something big. BGW wouldn't wimp out and just say "First drop track in America, first drop track in BGW, first multi-launching coaster with a drop track", I think they mean what they say when it comes to "Many firsts."

I don't see the point of theming it so much if you're flying by it at 80 mph. And I don't see where it would launch this fast, seeing as it would have to lose a lot of speed really fast, because the layout is so mini for 80 mph, and it doesn't look like it's rising higher than 100 feet. Also, I don't really find 80 mph as "Family friendly". But what if the "130 foot drop over the Rhine" is actually launched, and launches faster and quicker than the acceleration of gravity. That would be pretty cool. But probably not gonna happen.

There aren't any random empty fields because every place is filled with a ride. And does that include Bizarro? I consider Bizarro an empty field. It's a coaster, 2 tunnel and 3 cardboard buildings. And there really weren't many trees, no place to put them. They've done a lot since 7 years ago, but it's still not really scenic. (Except for the river.)

And the 2014 project. What? 2013? 2014? The Dippin' Dots guy hasn't told you about 2012? -

A tad bit bland, maybe change the color of the supports of the invert, they blend in too much. But other than that great so far! -

I don't think the term "airtime hill" has anything to do with physics. At all, actually. It's just a term. It's really just a 129-foot hill (RCDB even says so!) No no, I didn't mean airtime hill has anything to do with physics. I mean the hill's nature is to provide airtime. -

78 meters? Wow, look at B&M steppin' up their game. A 255 foot Beemer and a 306 foot Beemer (not to mention an amazingly compact invert and 3 freaking awesome Wingriders) all in the same year? Best B&M year ever! -

^ Somebody's ridden too many SLCs. EDIT: And it's also funny cause there's no such model as a 690m. -
Just because it's a family coaster doesn't mean it won't have air. It just means it won't be very intense and the height requirement is about 48". And we really never know, Zierer hasn't really provided a lot of coasters with large drops, so we don't really know what we might get. Airtime doesn't necessarily depend on the manufacturer, it also depends on what the park wants. EDIT: Well it does matter on the manufacturer, (B&M: Floater, Intamin: Ejector) but they could change that if they really wanted to.
