weeow Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 ^ LIM's. actually it's LSMs. i cant wait to see the new coaster. but what if its not an intamin?
jamesdillaman Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 ^ Are you serious? sorry, sorry, i just can't believe some people speculating before anything is announced. What does it matter, anyway? I hope everyone has ridden every new coaster that opened this year, because if you haven't been on Voyage, Tatsu, Kentucky Rumbler, El Toro, Patriot, Goliath... I grow tired of listing.. you get the idea. Worry about riding all those first before you think about rides that aren't even built yet. Besides we all know it's going to be a B&M woodie, with 2 loops and a wooden corkscrew, kicking SOB's ass. If anyone takes that seriously they need to rethink their judgement -James Dillaman
Wes Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 actually it's LSMs. i cant wait to see the new coaster. but what if its not an intamin? We were both right, it uses both. All the track on site appears to be Intamin, so unless another company is copying Intamin's style, it's a safe bet.
jarmor Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 I'm 90% sure it's going to be a B&M. Im sticking to that theory!

okinawaboy11 Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 *BUMP*with some news:This is from point buzz, aparently in Sandusky you need a permit to build a 600sq ft electrical shed. Can someone say LIM launch? Or Hydraulic Launch shed?
okinawaboy11 Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Ha! Got 'cha thinkin' on that one! God CP when are you going to announce it?! It's not like we all don't already know. Your killin' me here.
Xxhershey818xX Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 ^ I holla at ya! tHIS IS SO KILLING ME GRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Rollerfreak Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 I didn't have enough time to look at all 74 pages here.....but did anyone guess 500 ft wooden inverted stand-up? That's my guess.

I really hope this isn't launched....
coasterlover420 Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 almost all rides at Cedar Point have electrical sheds and I'm sticking by it!

BiCoastal Kid Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 ^Ummm, I said to operate the electronics/lighting. Not the coaster itself.
UberBeavis Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 It's gonna have a LIM launch, and a more traditional lift, no inversions
UberBeavis Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 I just remebered something! On a show I watched on National Geographic called Supercoasters, they talked abou how modern day LIMS can catapult tons of lbs to up to 200mph in less that 2 seconds. They used a catch car, but they catch car was the part being attracted and repelled by the lims, not the car itself. They also have a testing ground in NJ. Maybe this helped, in a way..?? Rock N Roller Coaster At WDW uses LSMs pushing a catch car to launch it's trains.

Don't forget water pumps and filtration systems require a lot of power to operate as well. Besides, 600 Square feet isn't really that big-- 20' x 30' to house electric and probably the computer system is about average for a large coaster.

Beber Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 An update from Pointbuzz. Nothing really new, but that's an update.
coasterlover420 Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 ^I thought I was the update whore... Oh, well! Gotta love an update! (I don't know why...)

I really hope this isn't launched.... Do you really need 700 Sqft for all that? You operate the coaster within the station, no shed required. Just to chime in on this... Xcelerator's PLC/Electrical "shed" is at least 700 square feet... as is the area under Silver Bullet's station that houses the PLC and electrical for that ride as well. That permit tells you NOTHING about what kind of ride this is. One other thing that I noticed... well, two things. First was that it looks like they're keeping this ride quiet. Some of the supports have the pre-cut caps that'll allow them to fill them with sand: Click here for example. And they have supports that'll end up holding up either a loop, dive loop, immelman, cobra roll... et al. Click here for inversion supports, they're almost identical to the ones used on rides like California Screamin', etc. Either way, should be interesting to see what they're going to build.
dandaman Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Here's a Pointbuzzer's interpretation of P2007, which I found rather interesting: http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j264/tinpenny1/cp_2007_new3.jpg mod edit: photo linked for size
pdon Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 If that is even close, at this point only a new car style would make this at all interesting. The supports show at least some inverted track, so a wing-walker seems more and more likely. The pictures does use the footers pretty well though, a nice job IMO.
coasterlover420 Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 ^^Yeah, but what is all the empty space in the middle for? Why couldn't they just use it? (a.k.a. no footers so far) Y'know what would be weird...if that was exactly right.
