Can you imagine a Winkwalker train on this track ? It would crash on the support on the left on the photo. That could be fun -

What is your local park?
Beber replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My home park is Walibi Rhone-Alpes (France), even if I have 2H of road to go there (and I have never visited that park...). There is another park (a Zoo) 5 min away from my home, but there is one coaster that should be 8 feet tall and 60 feet long... -

That is a new CP piece of track And that is a crokscrew on a Intamin ride Very similar, isn't it? If you look at the support junction on the piece, it is at the same "place" on the two piece. Have you understood me? Now I think there will be a crokscrew. And I can't imagine an aquatrax with that kind of element. So, two options : looper, or wingwalker. Let's look supports. Here's one, with his friends. I think they will be the helix support's, over the water. That supports don't look very tall, so the ride will be very near of the ground. With a wing walker, riders are on each side of the track. If the ride is to near of the ground, there will be a problem : riders will be on the water (on the CP track). So that make me think the wing walker assumption is impossible, and it can just be a looper. But that's my opinion, I may be wrong (and I hope i'm wrong, I want to see a wing walker at CP !). Edit: The supports of the helix in the video of the PortAvenura coaster are as tall as the supports at CP. So it is possible! And they are the same color! -

The Official "TPR 2006 UK Tour" Thread!

Even if English people hates French, they can write correctly! The "fout" isn't French. Can someone go to the park and correct the "fout" to "faites"? Thanks. -
A Big BYE-BYE to those going on the UK Trip!

Have a nice trip guys ! I hope you'll have a lot of photos and videos of the TPR community to share. We will keep the site alive during your trip, don't worry. -
How did you end up here???
Beber replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I believe i found TPR on... RCPro. I'm not sure, but i think it's that. That was for the "Tatsu Construction Tour" video. And after seeing that, I decided to stay here. And now, I'm a TPR and RCPro member, and I like both sites (Yes, it is possible!). -

If you look at the Funcoast cam, you can see the train on the lift hill. Poor riders... Edit: I can't see any rider. So, poor train.. -

There are so many footers! Isn't it a good aera to put a 4-Barrel-roll, or any other inversion? It can't be an aquatrax (In my opinion, there are to many footers for an aquatrax). So? Looper. -

The construction has before the 2006 season starts. It is very early to build a coaster. There must be a reason. Maybe they want to build faster, and themed the coaster, because it takes a lot of time. So will they themed a looper? I don't think it has many interest. Themed a Aquatrax? Yes! But i think the aera is to big to put "only" an aquatrax, and I think something bigger is comming. But why? I don't think CP will build a prototype, it's to dangerous for a park like CP. There is a reason if the construction has already start, so early, but I don't what. If you look at the last arrived piece, it seems they are not very banked, so the coaster should have a lot of speed. I may be mistaking, but that's what I think. I also think the red track is very very classic, and even if it's not ugly, it could be better. I want yellow fluo! Let's wait and see! -

Is that a triangle track http://www.rcdb.com/fr/m/ig1646.htm?picture=21 ? No, or I have to change my glasses... All Intamin coasters are not "Triangle" or "Square", it can change anywhere in a coaster. I don't really know why it is not always triangle or square, but I know it can change. Look TTD for example (on the brake track), or Colossus. The form of the track won't help us to determine the kind of coaster. You can compare CP and Atlantis Adventure footers if you have nothing better to do... About the coaster, I think PortAventura will have the "exclusivity" about the Wing Walker, because they have this project for long time... The aquatrax is very possible, because of the water footers, and they may have a lot of good TR from Atlantis Adventure. The other possibility is a looper, beating the inversions record, because CP loves breaking records. But now, we can only expects, and wait. -

Ball coaster has only two axis, but the CP new coaster has three axis, so that won't be a Ball Coaster. Pics and informations about Intamin Ball Coaster (in German) : here -

It seems to be a Wing Walker. Maybe the Intmain's 4D? I believe the seats are not moving, but I hope I am wrong. There was plans of the Wing Walker comming to PortAventura somewhere on the web, I am searching for it. -

What about a 500 feet Diving coaster ? That would be so funny. But I think it will be a Floorless, but not the "tallest" coaster ever built ! Wait a few years, then they will break that record *again and again*
