Shadowforce Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 Themeparkdenmark visited the media day event, and this movie was one of the results. It uses a quite bizarre codec, Mjpeg. Don't worry, the author is going to make a new version later this week. I did sadly not attend this event, and is presently awaiting the movie getting finished.
robbalvey Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 I saw this POV of the ride that didn't require any special codec: http://granat.es.lth.se/~olofsrnm/nyrc/rchq.php?page=coasters&id=1013 --Robb
coaster1 Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 the top hat is so small .. looks odd ... how cute.
coasters 4 me Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 i think this coaster looks brillaint. A top hat is a really small area! Now if Intamin can do that, they could probably just do about anything!
SharkTums Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 It's official, I'm in love! Seriously though, this looks great! I'm really excited to ride it in two months! I hope it's as good as it looks. Elissa "Who needs Kingda Ka with cute little launched coasters like this around!?" Alvey
memphish Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 That looks awsome. I'd take that over KK for sure. That looks to be a much more intense ride.
Inferno Insane Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 After watchin that Onride Vid personally I can't wait to ride Kanonen end of May/June. Look more fun/better than Rita which I did't like much on monday :? .
CoasterCrazy Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 Kanonen looks better than KK, when are coaster companies going start understanding that building the tallest and fastest coaster doesn't make it the best coaster in the world.
Jordan Shankman Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 ^ You mean parks? This does seem like an incredibly fun ride, but it looks like there may be some head banging.
Shadowforce Posted April 15, 2005 Author Posted April 15, 2005 Reading and hearing 'round, it seems that the ride is actually a bit rough, people coming up with bruises today after riding it. Also, some said that the cars "groans in the joints when going round the curves" and that the miniature airtime hill was painful. I am looking more and more forward to it!
viking86 Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 I cant wait to ride it in a month, it looks fantastic. I dont care if its a bit rough, I like rides that throws you around a bit Btw, it looks like they removed the trim brakes....
Shadowforce Posted April 17, 2005 Author Posted April 17, 2005 I have been KINDLY *cough*yeahright*cough* been asked to advertise my good friend Zaniack's new Kanonen on-offride footage video, So that is what I do: Here You can also find the first video sans weird codec here. [/url]
Jose Eber Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 This ride looks fun! Although it does look painful. The 'kannon' part reminds my wife and I of speed.
Martyn Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 I have been KINDLY *cough*yeahright*cough* been asked to advertise my good friend Zaniack's new Kanonen on-offride footage video, So that is what I do: Here You can also find the first video sans weird codec here. [/url] That video's excellent, tell your good friend Zaniack, well done from me!
Real Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 I cant wait to ride it in a month, it looks fantastic. I dont care if its a bit rough, I like rides that throws you around a bit Btw, it looks like they removed the trim brakes.... I noticed that as well...it does look vicious, but who cares?! Everyones been whining about rides not being intense enough, now there is one, and since its got forces its too intense? I HARDLY doubt the ride is "rough" but I bet the ride suffers from high intensity in small, small areas. Hence, VERY fast transitions can sometimes lead to higher G's. EDIT- There is ONE single fin (well, a pair) on the first airtime hill, but really now, how much can ONE pair of fins do? maybe a few mph, at most.
SharkTums Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 Booo!!!! It's taking too long to download!!!! Elissa "I'm on like super T-3 and it's going soooo slow" Alvey
Martyn Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 ^Yeah it took me a while aswell, I had to keep resuming it aswell.
SharkTums Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 Got it! It does make some interesting noises on some of the turns! It really does look fun though! I hope it's not too brutal! Elissa "the loop looks so fast!" Alvey
Rockman89 Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 That looks intense. The ride looks like it was actually designed much bigger, but somebody decided to shrink it at the last moment. Now, if only Six Flags had gotten the memo...
ScottBrown Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 I have always worried that this coaster loked like it might be so so like Rita but that video has without a doubt changed my mind
Janus Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Ok, now this screamscape rumor about SFOT getting one in 06 is sounding a LOT better
SharkTums Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 ^ Uh Oh! Isn't everything always 'bigger' in Texas...if they put in a slightly larger Kingda Ka/Dragster I'm going to shoot myself! Elissa "please put in something more like Storm Runner/Kanonen!" Alvey
pupkick Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Can someone please reattach the coupler to the 2400 baud modem the site hosting the divx video is hosted on? For the love of $diety, can someone mirror it?
viking86 Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 There is rumors about Tusenfryd adding a launched coaster for the 2006 season, and the park has confirmed that theyre getting something "big" next year. Im sure the management on Tusenfryd has watched the construction of Kanonen, so I wouldnt be surprised to see a small-scale Intamin rocket coaster
