CHILLERLC1 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 NITRO has a nicer look lift support wise. This one has supports like Silver Star and Goliath SFOG. Not /\ but l\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niiicolaaah Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 85 degree drop... YEAH RIGHT! lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraken613 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 ^ Thats just the start of the drop! Â I like the supports too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asr Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 85 degree drop... YEAH RIGHT! lol. Â The ride won't get to 85 degrees until about halfway down the drop... The drop has only just started construction. Wait a few days or weeks until the entire drop is finished before deciding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStitch626 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 The drop is made that way for a larger parabolic ain't it? So you get optimal air time or floating down the drop itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niiicolaaah Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 OK, thanks guys. I thought it would get to the 85 degrees faster. I guess I should give it the benefit of the doubt! In any case, I am very excited to get up there to ride it next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 It looks pretty good! I can't wait to see more!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screamomatic Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 The drop pretty much looks like shit, maybe it's camara angle but wtf.. Â I think you'll just lazily float down the drop insyead of ejected out.. be prepared to fall asleep. Â The lift looked sweet but the drop is totally ruining it for me.

SharkTums Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 85 degree drop... YEAH RIGHT! lol. Â I think it's 85 degrees according to Robb's School of Math! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginzo Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 The drop pretty much looks like poo-poo, maybe it's camara angle but wtf.. I think you'll just lazily float down the drop insyead of ejected out.. be prepared to fall asleep.  The lift looked sweet but the drop is totally ruining it for me.  I agree. Everyone knows that looking at 2 pictures of a partially constructed drop is the same as riding the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DATman Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 ^I take it you haven't been on a B&M hyper coaster. The first drop is always amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparebear75 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 The fact that the drop will be 80+ft taller than anything else at Wonderland, no matter what angle the drop will end up being, it will be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Monte Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Let me just say it again, that drop will NOT be 85 degrees at ANY point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 ^ It doesn't seem that far fetched to me. Â Looking at what's been built so far, seems the drop is already close to ~75 degrees. And the steepest section of track hasn't been installed yet. Â Edit: Actually, it looks closer to 60 degrees. Still isn't too much of a stretch for it to get to 85.

Tmcdllr Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Omg arguing about the drop angle... Why dont you people wait until it has been built then you can go out there with a protractor and measure it for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LcHg5265 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Maybe im missing something here, but why are some many people doubting the 85 degreee drop bit. It is being advertised as an 85 degree drop, and its not like B&M has not made steeper ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 ^ Some people thought that the renderings looked more like 74 degrees. All of a sudden people started passing it around as fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Look at how gradual MF is to 80 (is it 80?) degrees. Let's not rule it out just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankees15 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I'm sure it will be 85 degrees, but even if it is 74 like some of you guys have been saying it will be great. Nitro's and Apollo's Chariot's drop's are both incredible and they are only at 66 and 65 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Look at how gradual MF is to 80 (is it 80?) degrees. Let's not rule it out just yet. Â Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. If the pull in to the drop is already at 60 degrees, adding another 25 degrees at the apex isn't that hard to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraken613 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I dont think B&M will say somthing and not do it. They arnt Intamin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
