I challenge you to play a FPS with the arrow key to look-around and aim, though. But thanks for the tip.

It actually looks kind of fun. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] I really like how the logo is moving as well, in multiple parts. I alos be curious to see how it works from behind.

^ Too bad the mouse controls on Youtube are horrendous. I'd be happy to watch these video the day it acts like a FPS game (just like NoLimits, too)! Having to click and drag, release, and repeat, and repeat... is just too tedious. In the meantime, I bought a 10€ cardboard VR headset to go with my smartphone... And it is AMAZING! I tried the Oculus at the EAS, and while the later fits the head better and has a better resolution, the cardboard isn't put to shame.

By the way, here is my analysis of the layout (I'm 95% sure it's right this time): 0: Station 1: Lift 2: Drop with trench at the bottom 3: Non-inverted Loop / Heart-shaped loop 4: Big overbanked turn 5: Speed airtime bump 6: Uphill turn 7: That beautiful camel back 8: Low-g transition with low banking (a break to breath?) 9: High-speed overbank 10: Reverse Stengel dive (think Skyrush) 11: 90° banked turn ??? : Not really sure what is it, but it's low to the ground 12: Corkscrew 13: S-turn hill 14: One last rolling transition 15: Brakes Here is the NoLimits2 file if you want to look around.

About Total Mayhem: Since I know Six Flags is reading the forum, I might as well repost my other suggestion here: Why not putting magnetic fins that induce the rotations all along the lift, in order to have the world first frontflip/backflip vertical chain lift in the world?

Believe me or not, but this weird combination already exists: Made by L&T Systems.

Booya! Great pictures, thanks for sharing!

Is it me or the Space Shot is incredibly powerful lately at Liseberg? I rode only a few, but it felt really surprising. I didn't remember that from last year. Thank to the OP who said to me to put my head back... I was like "yeah, yeah, I know how it rides-- OMG WTF WAS THAT"

Talking about the creativity of Intamin, here is their latest innovation... (Pic from my EAS report) We've seen better days! Same concept, almost same elements and even same colors as S&S's! Kudos for the NL1 render with photoshopped supports, too.

It looks like a wavy brake run! The train will lose speed but the radii get tighter as well, so it won't feel weaker: (Source) EDIT: I never noticed they had two colors of supports (see the connectors, it's not a difference of light): Brown on the left (phantafriends.de). Black over here for instance (phantafriends.de).

The corkscrew mystery is still going on... I still think it is one! Very big zoom on latest picture

Bringing back the hype, with a new render I found on the Vekoma booth at the EAS:

Sooooo they developed a mono-rail coaster only to make it a racer in order to makes it look like a regular two-rails coaster? /sarcasm

Another company for LIM/LSM is Velocity Magnetics. Though they were mostly focused on magnetic brakes, they started to make launch systems recently, as they are providing Dollywood and RMC on Lighting Rod. EastCoastn07, are you sure Intamin does it in house? I found a close-up shot of an Intamin LSM in my folders, if that helps solving the mystery.

Actually it reminds me of old-school B&M inverts' zero-g rolls.

The first and only non-B&M invert, yup. Otherwise, Hurakan at Belantis has a pair of interlocking corkscrews as well.

By the way, anyone noticed those rails in the background? What are they? Looks like the track gauge is smaller than your usual I-Box/Free-Fly track! Snapshot from a video

Scrapped?! Can't we buy one? (The cars look like dudes. The middle one is facepalming. Someone can caption this pic)

Thank you for these drawings, it helps a lot!

More steel, less steel, I don't know, but certainly less waste. Sure the wasted steel can be melted again and re-used, but it might cost time and money.

It's not the only one, Spi0n, a french... news site (?) also reported it as Valravn Birdseye, as long as stating it's the tallest, fastest and coaster with the most inversions in the world. *facepalm*

I'll just wait for Movieland to build a home-made version of this and include it in Kitt SuperJet!

Altaïr at Cinecittà has them, not Crazy Coaster at Loca Joy. Both are the same 10 inversions coaster. That doesn't prove my point, and I'm not sure, no. That's what I heard for someone who has a foot in the industry and certainly had to ask manufacturers for some budget estimations, so I trust him on that.

Called it. Although it has a weird shape, the twist is going to be very sharp!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's the spine that is filled out on B&M. See there, we can see the plugs:
