Adriel Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Is there another coaster that will break the records for tallest and fastest? Yeah, I know the rumor that CP will build 500-foot flyer. But is that true? I think that's crazy. Flying at 500 foot.
ECZenith Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Is that true? NO Is that crazy? YES B&M flying coasters have only gotten to about 170' so far so I'd say that's far from reality. Tatsu was AWESOME at just that height. I believe B&M in general don't want to get to the 300' mark and I don't think there's a park out there that could afford a 500' B&M and make sense of it. That rumor was started by a dippin' dots attendant and/or CP fanboy. A Vekoma Flying Dutchman at that height mind as well go right into the heart of the Sun because I'm insantly blinded on a sunny day on X-Flight or Batwing due to the facing up. I'm not complaining, just a different way to fly I guess. I wouldn't want to go on a Vekoma over 200' unless it was some kind of new design or Disney prototype. I just feel it would kill me to look at it. Will there ever be a 500' coaster? Almost certainly, but I'd say there's a 99% chance it won't happen next year or anytime soon until a more reliable launch system is developed.
CoasterFanatic Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 I know the rumor that CP will build 500-foot flyer. This is just silly talk. // Closed
