Schlitterbahn Kansas - Verrückt Water Slide
RyanTPM replied to KBrylczyk's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
You'd think the park would go with professionals though? And if they are professional then surely they'd know that you are going to get a lot of air on that hill, well, well before they even started to build a prototype. -
Great to know that the white track is for Gardaland. Still three/four more to go! still expecting the red track is for a new model though, which it most likely will be.

^In order to take all the different forces, which could also mean a new train?.
-
Yeah, if you zoom in you can easily see that those track pieces are on top of each other. And it can't be a wing rider because of the different rail ties.
-
^You would think that's the answer, but when zooming in it becomes clear they are stacked as you can see the track connector on top of the other track piece.

Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
RyanTPM replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^That's exactly what i was thinking, the launch certainly looks like it will be there. -
^ The piece labelled number 2 isn't the same as the one labeled 1 because the rail ties are in no way the same. I also still cannot understand why those pieces are stacked, B&M don't really seem to stack track. And with the rail ties being different i still remain on this being something new.
-
^Yeah that's also unusual, with that piece being a different size.
-
After zooming in i do see the plate, but that doesn't rule anything out because the rail ties are nothing that we've seen before on any other B&M. Is the blue track or supports?, it's very hard to see those.

What is your next park?

Alton Towers July 19th. -
^That's the thing, i can see rails and ties on that piece below, yet regardless, they look like they are one piece? Because that piece simply wouldn't balance there or be stacked like that. So it has to be attached to that other piece, and with the rail ties like no other B&M this has to be a new type? And if they were separate there would be a plate on the bottom of that track connector, and although we can't see it, it doesn't look like that.

^The footers from what we see do look identical. In that image most of those footers look parallel, maybe that area could stage the launch? -
^Has that been confirmed? The white track certainly looks like it belongs to a wing rider or dive machine. But the red/orange certainly looks like it's for a new type. Unless anyone knows of any other B&M with those rail ties?

It would be pretty great if this was the first ever B&M launch coaster. Of the footers already poured it's difficult to tell if they are of a B&M though, but once more are poured, we'll be able to tell. -

Are they going to remove that tent?. And that station looks to be very small, if it is actually the station. -

How did the designers not realize that you'd get some serious air going over that hill, you'd think they would know that. -

^ They did, but this looks like a high thrill coaster. Most likely a terrain launch coaster. -

When we all see pictures of footers, we'll be able to see if this is a B&M or not. -
Which makes one piece then. But if it was two pieces then how is the track balancing there? It can't be, which is what makes me think that it's one piece. And if it is, then it's certainly a new model. And if it isn't, it still looks like new type of track with the different rail ties.
-
I still can't work out whether the red/orange piece of track is one or two pieces, really looks like it's one piece.

Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
RyanTPM replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If it's nothing unusual for Holiday World to ask manufacturers for a new design then it's possible they could have a totally new B&M. But as said above, the cost would make me think against this. And with this being a totally new design, wouldn't it cost more? But we also don't know Holiday World's budget, so maybe they can afford this anyway. -
The orange looks like something new, so it's possible that could be for holiday world? or maybe just an unknown park rather than one of the projects we already know of.

I hopped over to the 'The Mysterious Yellow B&M!' thread and it looks like the orange track (or red depending on the post) could be something of a first for B&M. What are the chances this is true? Could Holiday World be setting themselves apart with a B&M first? The track certainly looks like a first for B&M yes. But would Holiday world really approach them asking for a new design? I'd expect them to maybe go for a wing rider. -
^ You would think that but those rail ties look nothing like they would if this was of a dive coaster.
