Silver Dollar City (SDC) Discussion Thread

This is turning into the coaster-enthusiast version of "Tastes great! Less filling!"

 

Winning.

 

I'm calling it a Stengel Dive. If the track drops out of it- as I suspect it does, it will be an amazing stunt- if it works, of course. Perhaps better pictures will help...

[Josh Linn]

If inclined loops are considered inversions, this definitely should be.

[RyanGsatMCO]

I say that we just end the debate now and call it... OMFG AWESOME

Uber-Stengel as opposed to a zero-g roll?

[SharkTums]

Super Stengel it is!

[_koppen]

I always thought it was supposed to be an overbank, and not a roll. Looks really awesome, hope it rides as good as it looks!

[ernierocker]

Hopefully, the actual name of the element will be something awesome like the dog tongue on Takabisha.

[Moose]

Is the naming up to the manufacturer? I like the super stengel.

 

While i was fine with a zero-g, this is more along the lines of what I was expecting.

I am also very excited about the prospects of another midwest/middle America area TPR trip.

What does a Stengel dive have to do with the wordl's largest kettle corn stand, which is what they're really building at SDC?

[CorkscrewFoley]

Is that what all this is, Chuck? I'm cool with that...

[cfc]

^Only in my little universe . . . sigh!

 

Actually, I think this has the potential to be the hot new ride of 2013.

[coasterfreak101]

^We've hardly seen anything else announced for 2013, and I'm with you! Can't even call it a sleeper hit, everyone knows it's going to be amazing!

 

Oh, and Super Stengel sounds good - it's a Stengel Dive, except it goes way farther than you'd ever expect. It's super!

[_koppen]

Since it not a Stengel design, I think it should have another name. Something that's unique for Rocky Mountain coasters only! Flying dive or something that sounds just as good, but fit better.

[Moose]

^Rocky Mountain Oyster?

[Hilltopper39]

^Rocky Mountain Oyster DIVE?

[BeemerBoy]

Flying Squirrel? Flying Rocky?

[Intimidator305]

This element makes me like Rocky Mountain even more now because it will forever lead to coaster enthusiasts arguing if it is a complete inversion..... and the GP wondering if that was a "loop-de-loop after the very steep fall where they almost fell out".

[DBru]

^Rocky Mountain Oyster?

 

[sammmmmy]

I can't wait to see what else the layout has to offer after seeing this!

[jrkstl]

How about calling it the "Schilke Sling?"

[scbt]

I'd say something along the lines of Rocky Mountain Cutback/Dive/Oyster

 

I personally like the oyster the best XD

[GigaG]

I'm honestly not sure if it is an inversion. However, it's more than Hydra's inclined dive loop (and Dorney calls that an inversion). I'm not sure what to call this - cutbacks are a big gray area for me. Wouldn't it be epic if this coaster had another inversion somewhere else? I doubt it, but hey, speculation is OK!

[ernierocker]

Call it Blue Oyster and then blast that song on loud speakers as soon as you enter the element.

 

[larrygator]

Yay, for the Stengel Loop de Loop.

[SoCalCoasters]

Why not just classify it as what it is...and Inverted Overbank?

 

Well, seeing as the official name giving to Takabisha's inversion is the "banana roll" anying is possible...
