Devious Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 ^ No, I know that...I guess what I'm saying is...that isn't very much stopping the train!!! it appears to be all-one-piece with the track section ties it sits above 5$ says the brakes on that spike are unnecessary, and the wheels are only to make sure the train gets enough reverse momentum to complete the course
Steelinwood Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Pax, Means peace in Latin, but this coaster looks anything but peaceful. I guess I can't pass complete judgment though due to the fact that I have never ridden one. It's a good concept, but It looks very intense. Overall, a challenging looking credit. Has anyone ever had a chance to ride a Pax Coaster?
Guest Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 There are 2 Pax's roller Coasters in Parc Saint Paul (France): "Coaster Formule 1" and "Wild Train".. Both coasters are .. funny
larrygator Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 ^About 10 people on the 2008 TPR Europe Trip took a side trip to ride the coaster at Parc St. Paul. I'm going to get my first taste of PAX this summer at Strasswalcen in Salzburg.
SharkTums Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Here's our TR from Parc St. Paul. Loved the insane Pax coasters there! http://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/photo.php?pageid=374&linkid=3344
tedten Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 It looks so much cooler in action than I expected. I don't think the train making it to the end of the hanging spike with too much speed would ever happen. It needs the help of the motorized tires to make it to the top of the spike in a similar way that the Mr. Freeze needs the extra set of LIMs just to make it to the top of the spike.
odene497 Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 The track looks like it's made out of thin scrap metal pieces. And the beyond vertical reverse lift is...interesting. I'd like a ride.
tanthonyam Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 So is there any info anywhere on what caused the fatalities. Someone wrote on here 2 of them since 2005. What coasters? What happened?
CorkscrewFoley Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 I know this is blasphemy, but let's see Intamin do something like this.
snowboard83 Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 ^^Both on the same coaster actually... Brake fail first time, ejection from the ride the second. The second may have been the fault of the park (Parc St Paul) for letting a....Guest of extraordinary size ride... Both of these were on Formule 1. The reason I say at least that number since 2005 is due to the number of Pax coasters in rural areas of Russia...and Russian news in general being somewhat disconnected from the western world. They probably wouldn't want anyone knowing their home-country-made coaster in their own country killed people.
Skycoastin Steve Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 So are they naming this coaster Russian Death Trap?
Steelinwood Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 On that blue coaster themed like a race car, there was this spot of crooked track on the decent that looked really dangerous.
Coaster Kane Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Jeeze this coaster looks kick butt style WOOOOOOO YEAH BABY
adog01 Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 I kinda like the cartoonishness of their coasters. I wish I could ride a Cobra one like this one. One thing about them though, I couldn't see them design a serious big coaster. I'd like to know if they've installed a Pax Screem anywhere in the world? They would look awesome to see in action judging from the pix on the site.

Anyone have a good size piece of property to put it on?
DarkStitch626 Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Speaking of Pax, has anyone seen the crazy "inverted" coaster concept they came out with? Look at the inversion set-up on this freaking thing. Image was found on Coasters&more and a google search.
snowboard83 Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 ^ Uh.... Bevis...Read the two posts before you
djrappa Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Sorry but I have to ask... what the hell is this thing??
snowboard83 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Sorry but I have to ask... what the hell is this thing?? That would be a Cobra-1... There is a REALLY messed up cobra-2 in a park in Saudi Arabia. RCDB has it incorrectly listed as Cobra-1... http://www.rcdb.com/1932.htm?p=0 One thing I'd love to know on these cobras...how many G's do they pull going from a 90 degree incline to a tight loop!?

snowboard83 Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 To be off topic, Ive been to St Petersburg Russia as well, never made it to the parks there or Moscow however. AWESOME place though. Devious, you may be the only one on here to have ridden a Cobra-1! you should share some pics and review in a long delayed TR, if you have any! Would be awesome. Anyhow back on track now... Since I called out the Alveys on their possible plan they may have brewing on the Europe trip to ride this Connyland death contraption (if it is running reliably at the time), since it is a Russian design, would it be too much to request that a Russian trip may be thought of... since we know there are some messed up Pax rides there...
djrappa Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Yes but where is the ride pictured in that photo? Because I can't find anything else with that messed up 'doesn't look like track' track going on...
Devious Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Devious, you may be the only one on here to have ridden a Cobra-1! you should share some pics and review in a long delayed TR, if you have any! Would be awesome. Probably, Was there on a trip with family, i'll have to dig through the trip photos and see what i can find, i SHOULD have a few hiding on a card somewhere
