Dixi Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Yes it's so beautiful ^^ Other photos : They will be a trench ( for the first drop too ) The surprise is this inclined curve at more than 90° ! Today the loop. Edited August 4, 2011 by Dixi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyuk200523 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 ^ Here comes the "is it or is it not" an inversion arguement! Although that looks to me like about 100 degrees rather than 90! Looking at the height difference from the first drop to the dive loop that is going to carry some crazy speed through that element!!! May have to pop over to France next year!

Dixi Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) I forgot to say that the height of the dive loop is 30 meters ( 98 feet ), the first drop is 40 meters ( 131 feet ). ^ Here comes the "is it or is it not" an inversion arguement! Although that looks to me like about 100 degrees rather than 90! It's my fault ! Panoramix said : " It's more than 90° ". I think it's approximately 100°, same as what you think.

GuyD25 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 it looks like the top of the dive loop will have some 'snap' in it.. i really need to ride this! to me, the curve will be an inversion because it's like an inclined loop curve... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The curve is not officially recognized like an inversion. There are 5 inversions : Dive loop => Loop => Immelman => (?) => Zero-G-Roll or Dive loop => Loop => Immelman => Zero-G-Roll => (?)

Hhappy Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Holy *beep* Looking forward to the finished ride (and riding it) Hopefully there will be plenty of photo ops/angles But yeah, this looks very very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harper83087 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 This ride looks super exciting and progress is being made pretty quickly!! Too bad there's no chance of me making it over to Europe in the near future . So many credits I've been wanting since I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumbarider1993 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 ^Yea, that's the first thing I thought of when seeing the colors. If it's even close to the ride Montu is, it will be a great investment for the park. Yeah these B&M inverts always seem to be great additions to any park they are in. It looks totally different from Montu and i really like that B&M isn't being repetitive but that's probobaly because of Parc Asterix, not B&M. Usually customers want same old same old from Walter and Claude. Nobody wants to spend the money to be unique as of late. But with places like Parc Asterix and World Joyland telling B&M to make something unique, it reassures me that they still have their touch. Now what would really make me happy is if parks started adding more of the Sit Down coasters So good, yet so few of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I've been wanting to comment but also wanted to wait to see more progress on this coaster. It's exciting to see a new invert being built since you don't see too many new inverts built anymore. I had the impression that it would have been a little bigger than it is but as evidenced by the multiple Batmen out there the smaller inverts seem to pack more of a punch and this one looks like it might be equally intense. That first drop looks pretty wicked and for some reason I can see the back seats getting whipped through the tight twist coming off the lift. The overbanked turn looks similar to what I've seen in pictures of Knott's Silver Bullet or is this one more steeply banked than SB's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 ^This one looks equally banked, but instead of floating through it (which I do love on Silver Bullet, unlike most) you're probably going to get whipped like you do on the Batman clones (which I do love even more!) Basically, this could be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixi Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 The half of the loop is built ( I think today it's finish ) : Its height is 25 meters ( 82 feet ) In the foreground : the future immelman The trench is finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueFireCoaster Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) DUDE WTF?!?!! WHY COULDN'T KNOTT'S GET AN INVERTED LIKE THIS?!??! This looks like it's going to be the most intense coaster B&M has made since the Batman clones, which is freaking awesome! Look how tall that loop is compared the banked turn, and with how compacted the layout is, it's all going to be one intense blur! Thank you for the updates. This coaster is amazing! *edit* Sorry for the double negative, thanks for catching me Ed Farmer. Edited August 7, 2011 by BlueFireCoaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDCOASTERFAN Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 That drop looks quite different compared to the older B&M first drops on inverted coasters. I would have to guess that's due to the lack of a pre-drop which allows the coaster to enter the drop at a greater angle. Looking forward to seeing a POV of it in action! That's what's missing from B&M's newer rides these days as the pre-drop especially on their inverts is what IMO makes them stand uot from many other coaster design firms.

JuanSe_Colombia Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 It looks so fierce! I love that B&M it's going "out the box" in their designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has become their signature but there really is no point for it anymore. The pre-drop was originally so the chain dog could disengage from the chain, but they have since re=designed their chain dogs so it is no longer necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixi Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) The loop is finished ! The trench will be themed Yes, there is trim brake : The height of the third inversion is 22 meters ( 72 feet ) and it's an immelman.
