New red B&M track at Clermont in Ohio...
rcjp replied to FSUFanChris's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It's pretty tough to guess. I mean, all we know is that this isn't an invert, flyer or large dive machine so it theoretically could be a wing coaster, floorless, sitting, small dive machine, hyper/giga or even a standup. -

^^I wouldn't say inverted based on that lift piece in the back. -

Well, it could be for one of these smaller dive machines but I have no idea. -
Hansa Park Discussion Thread
rcjp replied to Gutterflower's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This one caught my attention in particular not only because of the headchoppers but mainly due to how banked the track on that turn is as that means lots of Gs! -

Highest Average Speed
rcjp replied to LuminousAphid's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Is it just me or is the average speed simply the length of the track (the ride part) divided by the time it takes from end of lift/launch to the brakes? The problem is that we don't know how long that part is, only the total length of track so we can make a rough estimation. -
Highest Average Speed

If we could know how long the brakes+transfer+station on Furius baco are we could get an average speed. Any guesses? -

^Well it could be worse. The closest park I have (not considering waterparks) is in Madrid which is 6 hours from where I live, so.... -
Highest Average Speed
rcjp replied to LuminousAphid's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That was the first coaster that I thought of. Really close to the ground all the time and you hit the brakes pretty fast. I'd also like to know how fast the heartline roll is taken. -
Fuji-Q Highlands Discussion Thread

^Well I honestly have no idea. I'm not the best at making coaster predictions. They could use a B&M, though (or an intamin) -
Fuji-Q Highlands Discussion Thread
rcjp replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
A bit off topic but I wonder if they could be getting a new ride next year as there seems to be a trend of installing a coaster 5 years after the previous one: 1996 - Fujiyama, 2001 - Dodonpa, 2006 - Eejanaika, 2011 - Takabisha. Just a thought, though. -

^I wonder how much work they've been doing on it to keep it smooth. (retracking and so on) -

You know, I wasn't really talking about the track but more about the park itself and other rides, namely superman. -

^Yeah, of course. I totally get you because they could say that no matter how unlikely that was. -
The "GP" of Theme Parks Facebook Thread!
rcjp replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would actually argue this one is not so dumb. I mean, superman did once get stuck just before the roll and while we may know that the roll has a slight downwards slope to prevent that most people don't. -
^OMG the smell of gas is so good!
