Gutterflower Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 The 2nd turnaround is going up. that also looks like much steeper than 50degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xme3 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 aww, no 90 degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 the 2nd turnaround is done but just check this out http://coaster.fc2web.com/special/usj/gallery/061216/USJ_Richard20061216_02.jpg that thing looks awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas2 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 ^ That thing is awsome. Especially that photo in the link. I love the way the track twists and goes through the buildings. Amazing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 ^^That second photo proves how insane this ride will hopefully be. I may not like the colors, but I love the layout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippyTrick09 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 This ride reminds me of Thunder Dolphin! I guess because of the curves and stuff... Anyway the ride looks awsome! I wish it was a bit taller, but I'm sure B&M will make this one of their most thrilling rides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Even though it is small, I could easily see this being one of the best B&M hypers. The hills should have decent airtime, and it is nice to see a sit down B&M finally get an over banked turn. The layout looks great, and I'm interested in seeing how it will be themed.

lexington Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I love how it has so many twists...insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankees15 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 ^^ So Nitro, Goliath, and Silver Star don't have overbank turns? Anyway this coaster is looking really great! This is an example that size doesnt matter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrider Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I don't know why, but that s-curve before/after the turnaround looks painful to me. But since this ride is so small, there will probably not be so much speed into that part to cause pain. But all those curves do make the ride look sexy.

Gutterflower Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 That curve reminds me of something GCI might do. so hopefully it will be pretty cool. the 2nd turnaround is done now too http://coaster.fc2web.com/special/usj/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 was that track gonna mimic Nitro's helix? but i can't say bad stuffs since that's so lookin' good..... wow looks we gonna pass out in these sorta tight loops but B&M does always somethin' to amount!

CP_RULES Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 ^^Looks like a smashed down version of Goliath's helix, cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I guessed the layout of the coaster from the pictures and using a picture of the park from Google Earth as a help to get it right, and this is what I came up with. (track colors are the same as in NL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas2 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 It looks like that helix is 90° banked This thing is getting more interesting each day. Great example of making a (relatively) small coaster packed with interesting elements. I can't wait to test it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCfanatic Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I think this coaster's going to be great! The turnarounds, hills and lay-out look fun and the coulours and theme are very unique. Yes, its not a high hyper, but who cares? Size doesn't matter, this coaster might even be better than some other B&M hypers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 the first drop is in. i think all thats left is the track between the 2nd and 3rd bunny hops and whatever happens after this wall http://blog.livedoor.jp/gl_usj/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierced_b0i Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 In that first pic the supports look like PVC Piping. This looks like it will be pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollermonkey Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 That blank wall has struck me as odd from the first time I saw it. The final brake run is obviously in there, but I'm wondering if there will be some sort of dark ride element as well. It seems like a long way back to the station from there, as that area is under the first drop and lift hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikari Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 that coaster seems really awesome!! It's so long and that rocks!! When I come back to japan, for sure I will go to Universal Studios Osaka. See you ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 i swear thats more than 50degrees lol the clearence on this still looks far to small http://blog.opus21.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollermonkey Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 G-flower, that's a perspective problem in that 1st drop shot. It isn't taken from the side. (90 degrees!) It looks steeper because it is shot slightly from behind. You can tell by looking at the peak of the lifthill. That second picture, though. Yikes! Headchopper, indeed.

Gutterflower Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 This updates a little weird. Appears the lift hill will at least start off enclosed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
