stormrider Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 For those interested: http://drkssk.fc2web.com/zekkyou/local/myoko/big/big.html Some pictures of a classic Meisho ride with zany track bending antics. I especially like this one: http://drkssk.fc2web.com/zekkyou/local/myoko/big/bignori11.jpg I don't want to know what made them think of that. I made turns like that when I started NoLimits. Edit-Links are not longer pointing to correct page (6/14/2007)
Airtime&Gravity Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 I actually don't think it looks that bad since you will probably be traveling at a slow rate of speed in the turns. It is probably not as smooth as a B&M, but it doesn't look to be a Vekoma.
Adriel Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 It's doesn't look like a Vekoma. It looks not so painful for me. So the question is how rough is considered as painful? I think I said not because all coasters in my country are rough...eh...
CP_RULES Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 I dont know what you guys problem is but I think it looks really fun and full of airtime!

PKI Jizzman Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 Wow, it looks like its going to hit that innocent little monorail car! Wow that looks like a terribly designed ride and really rough!!!
IwantRevenge Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 It actually looks fun with some airtime. Think I may recreate it in No Limits when I finish my other porjects. Whats the rides name?
pete4winds Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 I dont know what you guys problem is but I think it looks really fun and full of airtime! Why does it have to be a "problem" with them if they're just voicing their opinions about whether it looks painful or not? Personally, I think it looks pretty fun, too, but I don't feel the need to slag everyone else. I also happen to love Vekomas and Togos (I realize they're not Intamins and B&Ms, but I have yet to find a coaster I truly hate), but I don't feel I have to be an asshole just because many people don't like them.
apollo210 Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 It does look pretty good with airtime and a forceful loop, but the turns looka little painful. Nothing like a TOGO, but nothing like a B&M. It also looks really fun!
RCfanatic Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 Its probarly not rough since most turns are slow and R&E's Big Boom video didn't sound to rough. Anyways, looks like a good coaster! A fun high-G loop and maybe some airtime here and there.
robbalvey Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 Doesn't look at INSANE as Big Boom, but it does look cool! What park is that at? Is there an RCDB link somewhere? --Robb
Airtime&Gravity Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 Here Robb: It is called Big Boom and is located at Myoko Sunshine Land. http://rcdb.com/id510.htm
FlyingScooter Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 I didn't see any corkscrews (that park that always kills on a Vekoma or their clones). It looks okay to me.
thomas2 Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 After watching the video from Robb I seriously liked Big Boom so this coaster looks very cool IMO.
benzo41190 Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 Doesn't look at INSANE as Big Boom, but it does look cool! What park is that at? Is there an RCDB link somewhere? --Robb did you ride on the Back seat on the ride??? it looks like pelvis crushing airtime....in the front! The back must be twise as bad!
kitsch transporter Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 That´s an interesting site, as it features LOTS of japanese parks! Just click on "Review Top" and click away. Behind every yellow tag there is a photo report on another park. Some are pretty obscure. But speaking of oddly bent track just check out the "Jet Roller" at Mt. Ikoma (!). Its built by the ever notorious Hoyei Sangyo and looks like a total attrocity. Just scroll down and see for yourself: http://drkssk2.fc2web.com/ikoma/rollsle/rollsle.html RCDB has a picture of THAT spot as well. Even looking at it makes me get an appointment with my chiropractor: http://www.rcdb.com/ig1813.htm?picture=2 OUCH!
viking86 Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 I was looking for pictures of that coaster earlier today, but I couldnt find them. I think its safe to call it "The worst banking on a coaster EVER!"

Check out the JAPANESE CLOAKING DEVICES! http://drkssk.fc2web.com/zekkyou/nagaspa/chute/after2.jpg
stormrider Posted October 14, 2006 Author Posted October 14, 2006 RCDB has a picture of THAT spot as well. Even looking at it makes me get an appointment with my chiropractor: http://www.rcdb.com/ig1813.htm?picture=2 OUCH! The picture from RCDB makes that part look fun, so it may just depend on which angle it's looked at I too noticed that the rides sometimes slow down before taking those sharp parts (based on some videos of Meisho rides). And if I were on a water ride, I would actually prefer a cloaking device (I know, I'm a wuss) since it feels weird to have heavy water all over my body when walking around a park!
Tömmioh Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 Good find. It's always nice to see pics of those smaller, more unknown japanese parks. Those coasters look a bit 'shaky', yet cool imo. a bit offtopic at the 'carpark touring' monorail (in the first post of this topic), it's quite cool that it goes through a loop though.
CP_RULES Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 a bit offtopic at the 'carpark touring' monorail (in the first post of this topic), it's quite cool that it goes through a loop though. The first thing I thought when I saw that was RCT.
