downunder Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 This could be really great or really average depending on the braking, I'm hoping B & M will give us some ejector air rather than their customary floating air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankees15 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 This coaster should be done in no time! Â It's weird to see a mcbr without the catwalks. It just looks strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PURE Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Regardless of the airtime this ride looks like its going to be a lot of fun. Â Its too bad theres not a drop then the helix after the MCBR, instead they go right into it and it may not be that forceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Its too bad theres not a drop then the helix after the MCBR, instead they go right into it and it may not be that forceful. Â Maybe, maybe not. There's quite a few B&Ms that have MCBRs that hardly slow the train down at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam06pr Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 The ride sure looks fun, at least the first half, but I don't think its going to be an amazing top coaster. I just wish this one is intense towards the end which I doubt it will happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRapidsNerd Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 So, why did CW go with a mini-hyper again? Â That's just a monster! Yup, will gleefully take pics of the rest of you from the ground and get that elusive funnel cake credit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
307 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Am I the only one who thinks that the MCBR and the subsequent turnaround are looking just completely butt ugly? It just is so awkward and long. Ugh! I drove into the parking lot today to have a closer look at everything and it just really made me want to wretch. The rest of the coaster looks very nice, the curves are awesome, but that one part is just terrible. Â Maplehawk still looks fun, and I agree with the picture posted above by clewis4u: Looking at the coaster from the 400 south on-ramp is probably the most impressive place to see it from.

niiicolaaah Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Once again... every time I see more pictures I get more and more "underwhelmed". That MCBR looks interesting... it looks like there is a little dip going into the helix which leads me to think the MCBR will stop the train completely and it will need that little dip to get going again. And gotta love the trim brakes on like EVERY hill. Â At least it looks really cool in that one picture, like it's the length of the entire park.

Ever seen a MCBR that the track goes up afterwards? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougr Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Once again-large fast expensive coaster in extremely variable weather area. CW doesn't want to wear out their trains or their guests with excessive G-forces. They also don't want patrons to have the X-perience of valleying. So they build it fast with plenty of adjustable brakes. Of course, CW will probably run it on the slow setting, but we should let them do that before we pass judgment, shouldn't we?

Ever seen a MCBR that the track goes up afterwards? I don't think so. Â Well, thank you for enlightening me with that unnecessarily sarcastic and slightly insulting response. Â I guess I just don't care for the way that MCBR looks. It seems like it will be slow to start again, whereas something like Nitro's that goes directly into a drop is more exciting in my opinion.

kraken613 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I dont know why the MCBR was really all that nescisary when there isnt much track after it! I know for blocking reasons but still! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clewis4u Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I'm sure when the ride is running, everything will be fine. Some people seem to be making it out as a bad ride, and it's not even completed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â http://www.rcdb.com/ig1106.htm?picture=10 Â The way you said it led me to believe that you thought the ride had to have that hill to keep going. I agree that a giant drop may be more fun, but B&M has also made some pretty awesome helices. Sorry to sound rude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force 310 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I dont know why the MCBR was really all that nescisary when there isnt much track after it! I know for blocking reasons but still!For blocking reasons... that's exactly why it's necessary... Â For the record, there's plenty of track after the MCBR. A helix and several airtime-producing hills is really all that's necessary once you're that far into the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP_RULES Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Goliath at SFOG dosnt have a MCBR. Â That's because it only runs 2 trains. Behemoth needs a MCBR to run 3 trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooliocody12 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Finally a ride over 110ft  The layout looks awesome and it should have amazing views of the park/area. I wonder if it will affect the Italian job though, The lift supports are right in the middle of it.  As for the new trains, they are well... Interesting. The station is going to have to be massive to hold them. I wonder how they will work out the gates inside, 8 rows of 4, or 16 rows of 2? Its 16 rows of two.
