trustkill22 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 You know what I had never thought of it that way ^^^^. Just maybe that might be a reasonable answer to the clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCOSurfer90 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I've been thinking, what if "in a whole new direction" meant backwards instead of going forwards. They could have 2 trains, maybe one backwards and one forwards giving "in a whole new direction" meaning. Probably not true but it would be a good idea IF the ride was smooth.

Immel Man Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I'm all for a record breaking-looper as long as there is at least some substance to the ride. That means a custom layout (no Colossus derivative) with a few non inversion elements thrown in as well. An air hill and helix somewhere along the circuit would be enough. An entirely new inversion would be a great idea too if they could come up with something good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Sabo Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 That could be a fun way! They could add just six inversions (go forward and backwards) and then break the inversion record in about a 40 second timeframe..wheee lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdillaman Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 How about a 500 foot elevator lift (Like LoCoSuMo), more-than-verticle drop, 10 inversions, then a boomerang like spike, and while the car is held on that spike, there's a track switch much like EE at animal kingdom, and the train goes backwards through airtime filled bunny hops before splashing down in the bay of sandusky (it IS an aquatrax after all...) Yeah, I'd ride it... -James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vekoma boomerangs have 3, even though they go through each one twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I am really hoping for the backwards one. I really like those type! Im a boomreang enthusaist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippyTrick09 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I read on Screamscape that the ride will have 2 different sections. The first one will have a regular lift hill, and the 2nd one will have a launched section besude the station. If Aqua Trax do have launched section, then my bet is and Aqua Trax. Here is the article http://www.screamscape.com/html/cedar_point.htm Enjoy!- Mitchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 ID like to know where they got this information from. I do not believe a word that any employee says - ever. Only a small portion are coaster geeks who would even know who makes the track let alone know the design. If the two writers (restraining from calling them names) had to get "in the know" I doubt anyone else knows. Anything that Screamscape says or anyone else is pure fiction at this point with no validity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Sabo Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 If it is going to become a "two part" coaster, then perhaps they can have the red track for the first half and change the track color for the second half..lol Hmmm, two-parts (aqua-track theory coming back into play again). LOL! If it is a western-themed coaster, I wish they painted it similar to DW-Tenn. Tornado or Wildfire (SDC). Give it a rustic 'old west' look. ****They could add just six inversions (go forward and backwards) and then break the inversion record in about a 40 second timeframe..wheee lol A shuttle coaster with 6 inversions is only counted as 6 inversions, not 12. Vekoma boomerangs have 3, even though they go through each one twice. ^ Ya, I know that a shuttle loop coaster would only count as one set of inversion, but you know how marketing departments can be creative and say it is 12 (with 6 inversion elements).
