If I have time to travel there I'll literally prepare €850 for it! -

Holy crap that small airtime hill at the beginning shakes pretty violently! The second airtime hill also shakes a lot. -

So the theme is like an asteroid hit the ground and everything around it starts to lost gravity? Dear asteroid, can you hit my GPA? -

I absolutely loved their SnapChat media day coverage! And by the way, on SnapChat it's the exact opposite, filming a horizontal video is probably the most obnoxious thing. Lost Gravity's targeting demographic is the SnapChat usergroup so filming vertical video means they are doing the right thing. -

I don't know, at this testing phase I feel like the train would've go a bit faster then that. -

I mean seriously, back in the 80's the only manufacturer not making horrible coasters is Schwarzkopf. Vekoma had the most successful business and they sold more coasters than anyone else. They were actually pushing the technology limits instead of copy and pasting the same inversion from the mid-70s or only building the same vertical loop over and over again. Why so much hate towards them? -

Or simply being a broke college student at the one of toughest engineering school. -
Ferrari World Discussion Thread
gerstlaueringvar replied to Captain Jack's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm just wondering if it's actually necessary to use trackless on it. The car needs to be recharged on every cycle, it is much more expensive to make and program, there's no interaction between different vehicles and the route is literally the same width everywhere with no intersections. Disney use trackless system really smartly but this looks a bit like "we did it because we can so deal with it". -

So I spent some time exploring Mr. Polska's music, I actually think Move Up is my favorite. Even though two of the notes sound kind of out-of-place at the highlight part. Also found this gem: -

Those are normal friction brakes that opens every time the train enters during normal operation and closes as soon as the train passes through. It is a type of anti-rollback system that can also be seen on Vekoma's motorbike coasters and California Screamin'. (Photos from Google) -

It's fascinating how much B&M have improved the Dive Machine train, this train is so much lighter than the older ones! -

Aside from it being floorless, which could be the park's request, I don't see any similarities between Mack train and Intamin train. The chassis is completely different, Mack's seats connect to the same point at the middle of the car and Intamin seats are connected individually. -

Well Golden Horse never had an accident so at least I am not worried about safety. -

This is what makes roller coasters the safest things on the planet. -
I like the change about fast pass distribution! They now distribute fast pass at service centers of each land instead of at each attraction. That would make everything so much less confusing for the GP because cast members were explaining where the standby line, fast pass distribution line and fast pass return line are all the time at Disneyland. Do they do service center distribution at other parks?
