^haha, yeah I get where you're going with that one

 

^^^^ I think it's the track. The Euro-Fighter track from the side looks more like a line, whereas with Fahrenheit's Intamin track, it's harder to pick out the past-vertical degrees visually.

 

That's a good point. I think that a Euro-Fighter's tower looks really solid, much like a traditional lift hill. In contrast, FH's lift just looks like a mess of track which is probably a result of both the supports and the tri-rail track.

 

...just my two cents.

sorry if you thought that I meant if RXCC was a terrible ride...I didn't mean it that way. I was just expecting a little more from the effects department, considering the company they used for the animitronics. It is a fun family attraction, and I ride it with the kids every time I go.

When you compare Storm Runner to Fahrenheit, it actually does resemble quite a bit. the elements are compared, yes, but the layout, not so much.

 

Lol, just thought of something crazy, but what if on the opening day, the producer of "Fahrenheit 911" would make a special guest appearance in it?

^Hah, like he'd be able to fit. And there'd be a better than even chance that I'd spit in his face anyway.

 

No, as long as I'm indulging in this stretch of a connection of celebrities to a roller coaster, I think it'd be cooler (and less political) for the writer of Fahrenheit 451 to be there. Haha...cooler. I made a pun. :}

Indeed a bad pun, but was hilarious.

connection of celebrities to a roller coaster

Are celebrity's taking over priority of general pubic to rides now?! God dang, another reason that many people hate their guts. It's bad enough they get front row seats in major sports-games without having to pay, but now this is ridiculous!!

Oh, lol. I thought you were referring to celebrity's getting into the coaster trend. Didn't know you were basing off that comment from my previous crazy thought of Fahrenheit 911. God, I feel dumb, lol.

 

Anyways, back to topic, I found a good picture of Fahrenheit. But I mainly got this picture just because the long flight of spiral stairs. I wouldn't want to climb up and down on it daily for ride check-ups.

Looking nice so far.

^ and ^^ Not really. if it was a chain, it would need to have chain dogs. Usually the chain dogs are part of the track when they are molded. But since I don't see any, it has to be a cable lift hill.

 

Also, how would the cars evacuate if there's an E-stop? That spiral staircase is too far under the tower to reach the trains. With a cable lift, if the power shuts off automatically, the trains could be lowered manually.

I was wondering the same thing, but does it need to be able to evacuate from the lift? Does anybody know how or if Eurofighters are able to evacuate from their vertical lifts?
