Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
KingRCT3 replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If you really wanna get technical, one could argue Fury's the tallest coaster without a launch, or in other words, the world's tallest (traditional) coaster. That's indeed the best way to describe Fury. That IGN video was actually pretty well-made, I mean at least the guy got the subtility of that marketing catch-phrase, and even talked about strata's. But yeah, the comment section is full of you usual GPness... -

They are using flywheels, as seen in the lastest Hard Hat Chronicles: -
Guess this Coaster! (By the Layout)

Nope, the manufacturer is not German, yet still european. -

It's not a Maurer Söhne, and it's not Arctic Blast either. The layout is really the one I drew (well, the general shape, don't quote me on the shaping) - if it had a double helix, I'd drew a double helix. A clue: The lift is the straight line right after the station (at the top). -

Nope, not a bob in any sort. -

It's a straight top view. No inversions. -
Romon World to open in China
KingRCT3 replied to _koppen's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
They could have put another seat in between those two! Edit : Wait, nevermind, I just realized it was the same configuration as the 2nd gen B&M hypers, with the front row closer apart. The theming looks excellent, by the way. -

The POV even ended on 9GagTV! That offride video is amazing, thanks TheDark8. -

Yep, european manufacturer. Not one that sold the most coasters, but you definitely heard of it. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
KingRCT3 replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Honestly, to me "World's tallest and fastest Gigacoaster" sounds like the world tallest/fastest coaster, period. For someone who's not a die-hard enthusiast, Gigacoaster seems to refer to something along the lines of "a very big coaster", not "a coaster between 90m and 120m"... I can see why they are confused. -

Screens, maybe? -

There are three block brakes on the tower. If you need help visualizing the layout, check on the older rendering (same layout until the last part ou of the tower). -

^ Intamin certainly uses some more conventional flywheels. (Or, for instance, the "flywheel" for the first launch of Juvelen is the second one, and vice-versa). I thought only the Maurer one and Wicked use brakes as an generator. -- Third pic, look in the trench. That screams Intamin to me! -
Lagoon Discussion Thread

Wow, the secret special element is a jump from track-to-track, see the latest photo! JK. I'm really looking forward to see this thing is action. -
Knoebels Discussion Thread
KingRCT3 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah I was talking as an improvement versus a regular design. Those lap-bars stay level with that said parallelepiped shape. -

KingRCT3 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Sad to hear man. And I'm not talking about coasters! About Wicked's trains (and then Impulse, so), is the parallelepiped lap-bar an improvement in design? -
Skyplex Orlando Discussion Thread
KingRCT3 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Nothing changed except that final section. I mean, maybe it's taller, more elevated or I don't know, but all the elements on the tower are the same and in the same order. Which is kinda a relief for me, because I just love this layout so much! -

Sorry for the double-post, but it's time for a clue. It's a coaster located in Asia, but not in India, China nor Japan (in order for you to avoid having looking through all the jet coasters! It's not one.). The picture again: -

Does someone have Fraps ready to capture the very first run? I have to go and I'm sure by Murphy's law that it will happen then. -

They are moving the camera toward the drop and first overbank.
