I gotta say they look the same to me.

 

So what's the deal with "Only those who know the secret"? Is it only those who received a puzzle piece? I tried to get them to send me one but they didn't.....the jackasses!! I even threatened to open my own theme park......with blackjack.............and hookers!! Didn't work.

 

And why is Phase XI beginning and ending on the same day? Is that just the game part they spoke of? Maybe it's Pha Sex I begins and ends on 9/26......what kinda sex is that? Do I want to play this game? Will it hurt? I'm so confused! Think I'll go jump off the 25th floor of the Marriott.

I dont think Linear Induction Motors could propel a train up a vertical lift, and could you imagine a rollback on that thing, that would be crazy insane, and there would need to be some LIMs at the bottom of the hill then. But I expect a crazy kick butt launch like Wicked has, to propel it up the lift. If it is a lift, I would expect a cable lift like MF has. I just think a vertical lift is impractical, and if there isnt correct seating, painful.

I can't wait for the park to actually announce the ride, so this damn thread can be locked.

 

As a note, I know some of you are only posting here because of this game, but TPR rules still apply...so proper spelling, capitalization, and punctuation are a MUST!!

It will definitely NOT be LIM's, but it could very well be LSM's. They would act as brakes in the case of a rollback, just like on Maverick. And there's no reason LSM's couldn't propel a train up vertically.

I meant LSMs, not LSMs, sorry. I agree completely, it would be redundant and cool. especially if you accelerated up hill. You could get some pretty sweet air on that top hat! Also, the launched lift hill would make it possible to travel through the inversions without needing to build tall, since HP has the height restriction.

If the seat doesnt have back support half your body would be hanging out of the seat, like on MF. Oh and how does an evacuation work on a 90 degree lift, like what do they do? Video maybe?..

 

I'm pretty sure if the riders are going to be lying on their backs at some point during the ride, they will build the seats accordingly. Do you really think that they'd LET out bodies dangle like that?

 

"Well, I know their backs are going to be parallel to the ground for an extended period of time, but they can worry about their own neck support. I don't see how their heads are our responsibility."
