PowerPark Discussion Thread
KingRCT3 replied to mad_dog_BB's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Already posted in the previous page, but it's nice to see it bigger. And I can't get tired of looking at it! And come on, a dead-round loop! -

Here is a video of a testrun, took by me: [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] I was lucky enough to capture one right when I was looking at the webcam! -

It will uses the Infinity trains, as we can read on OCEM Marchetti.it: One of the two is Karnan, the other is this one. Nice shade of green by the way! -

Yeah that's a normal top-hat (contrary to what Coastersandmore is stating) and a very stretched loop. The first dive-loop looks almost non-inverted too, more like a dive than an inversion. So to sum-up, this looks like a great and quite unusual layout! Looks tall as well. Very intrigued and interested. -

That's a T-bar! And the pad should be the same as Bombora or Wonder Mountain Guardian, as those are made by ART as well. As always, thanks for the pictures. -

What about the brick square at the base of the lift's tower that was on the concepts? I really like it, it looks a little bit bare without it. -

Well, me too - yet Klugheimleaks is really like an "underground" website and I don't think the GP have a clue of its existance. So basically the secret is shared through what, a hundred of people at max. And I'm sure Phantasialand will still be able to surprises us! -

Lagoon Discussion Thread

And how having someone next to you would have prevented it? See what happened on New Texas Giant. It will only stick a horrendous picture in the head of the witness - yet I don't always carefully watch for my pal when riding a coaster. Perhaps in the US, but here in Europe you certainly can ride them alone. I rode the two Ferris Wheel at Liseberg on my own (one has closed gondola cabins, but the other one is open-air), and nobody said something. -

With your feet on the floor, you feel more vibrations than when they're not. (If the ride has any vibrations in the first place) -
Six Flags St. Louis (SFStL) Discussion Thread
KingRCT3 replied to Homer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Thanks for the report! JLBM is my most anticiped non-coaster ride in 2015 for sure. The only concern I would have - but seeing all the efforts put into this I'm confident - is that if ever they'll use the squinching technic for their medias. You know, when the film distort itself as the vehicule goes by, to emulate a 3D environment. -
Phantasialand Discussion Thread
KingRCT3 replied to roeterich's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^ Wow, awesome link, thanks for sharing! We should definitely keep an eye on it. Intamin track! But the cross-ties are now all-round, no more box-shaped ties. From Klugheimleaks. -
Not true, at all. Any drop that is 90° or more are inevitably forced on a coaster. Since the train has a horizontal speed due to the lift's curvature, it will never go full vertical on its own (not taking in account wind or air resistance). Here's a exemple on Newton²: The train has next to no speed at the top. A geometric section is curved with a constant radius until it reaches 0g. Then, the 0g is sustained. I could makes it go for a while and it won't change, it makes an asymptotic shape : it gets closer to vertical, but never reaches it. EDIT : ^ Glad we agree.

For the first time, I was able to catch some! And I filmed one with a decent quality, if anyone's interested: -

viking86 got it! Well done! To those who're not familiar with this (awesome looking) coaster: -

The manufacturer is Russian! That should gives it away. -
Thank you sir, you made my day! One thing I don't really like on the RMCs, especially the rebuilds, is their unfinished look. Now if everything is repainted, wow I can't wait to see the result! Plus, with the green and blue track, it'll really pops out. @Superbatboy about those tiny airtime hills - I don't think they'll ride like LR, their radius is far more spread out. Actually, I don't really like them on TC, because they look like they're fillers. Plus they're almost flat, so what? A pop of floater..?
