The layout of Atlantis Adventure is the following :

 

- LSM launch

- top hat with 90° turn on the left during the ascent

- Space dive on the right followed by a 270° right hand turn

- 270° left turn

- 270° right turn

- brakes

- drop on the lake

- 180° turn on the lake + S curve and brakes

- 180° flat turn with dark ride section

- LSM lift

- 180° flat turn

- 75° drop on the lake

- camelback with 90° banked on the left exit

- 270° upward spiral

- drop on the lake

- final brakes

^ That certainly clears up any confusion from me, thanks!

[Worm]

Then theres more to atlantis adventure thatn i thought.... Can anyone guess another inversion? IO'm geussing a barrel roll.

[DATman]

^^^Sorry to be nitpicky, but it uses LIMs instead of LSMs. Intamin hasn't used LSMs since Superman and that one in Australia (correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm 90% positive that's right...).

[ECZenith]

^ California Screamin' uses LSMs, but you are right. According to RCDB, AA uses linear induction.

[harsaphes]

- California Screamin' uses LIM.

- Atlantis Adventure, the Ball Coaster, the Hal Pipe (and the new CP's coaster) use LSM. This new, smaller, more efficient LSM were developped for the Half Pipe in Finland in 2003.

Has anyone compared what they've built so far with the overview of all the footers? I'm not good at this sort of thing, but I know there were a few people making some layout guesses back when the footers were poured. Any updates on your guesses?

 

-James Dillaman

[Carnage]

I saw one on PB.

 

But I'm not going to dig through all the crap to try and find it.

[tinflowers]

Man, this is great. I can't wait to ride this new Aquatrax.

[goleafsgo]

the ride is definately launched, seeing as there are no really high supports. so i am guessing it is gnna be something like Rita but with inversions...

[jamesdillaman]

...Rita isn't an aquatrax, silly. It's AA with inversions. Haven't you been paying attention

 

-James Dillaman

[ECZenith]

If you're talking about the NL one on pointbuzz, it's total crap. No surprise there. The track already in place doesn't make sense with the layout someone made there.

 

Besides, it's more fun watching it come up and not knowing what to expect.

[Carnage]

Nah, the one I saw wasn't NL.

 

It was one of those air overview pictures with the guessed layout drawn in with red. Basically a connect the dots with the footers type thing.

 

It was a decent educated guess.

[jamesdillaman]

I'd like to see this angle again, with the track in place. How was this picture taken??

 

-James Dillaman

 

 

EDIT: You have no idea how long I had to search this thread to find this stupid picture!!

[saytrain]

I agree with you. I want another arial shot of the current progress, it would make seeing the possible layout much easier! Also, has there been any sighting of supports laying around like the ones I circled in the Atlantis picture?

[goleafsgo]

looks like it was taken from a plane or heli.

[BeemerBoy]

^ or a zeppelin, or carrier pigeon, or Dumbo, or.....

[Carnage]

That was taken from the 1000 foot coaster that was built out in the water while all the fanboys druled over the smaller construction.

[ddaver177]

Aliens. It was aliens. Someone told me...

[Carnage]

Fanboys are slipping today, or they've all been banned until the announcement.

 

They've put a roof on the building and built another helix.

 

we'll pause as the fanboys get the cleenex out and clean off the monitor.

[BeemerBoy]

^ Naw...a roof on the building? Say it ain't so. I gotta check this out and see for myself!

[Carnage]

^ Before they put the roof on though I saw them lower an aqua trax car in.

 

They must be hiding the trains there.

[BeemerBoy]

Holy crap, you're right Paul....it is a roof!! I'll never doubt you again. The real question on everyone's minds has to be what roofing material they'll use. Should I start a poll on that? What do you think, traditional shingles, tile, metal? The possiblities are endless!!

[Wes]

^ The roof is tiled with Aquaplanx.

[Carnage]

Wow, they're adding some tiles or black covering to the roof.

 

This is exciting action folks.

 

I'm just going to have to take the afternoon off work to watch.
