Sharkyjon Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I was just sitting like and boring old fart and was thinking to myself, "What coasters can we start to see in the near future?". I came up with the concept of a stand up floorless rollercoaster. ( A bit like the restraints on apocalypse at drayton manor. 5th Element part of the tower.)and the kraken floor element. Mind you it could be nasty for the guys all them G-Forces. I hope ive intregued you all thanks Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpcotLova Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 The roller coaster of the future will go up, and it will go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillMontu Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Since Riddler's Revenge, there hasn't been much in the way of stand-ups. Maybe more record breakers. Just a few years ago, people said that we would never break the 200 foot barrier. Magnum did in 1989, and MF and TTD push the limit even further. Still, classic style rides are still popular, such as woodies and hypers. BTW: What's with the picture of the peep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterlicious Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 hmm... inverted but reversed... so your like sitting above the track and ... i dunno.. :shock: bloodrush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoltan_Kodaly Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Well for quite some time now, my homepark, Calaway Park, has been saving up money and laying out the plans for a 500-foot inverted stand-up woodie shuttle that's 9000 feet long with a splashdown finale. My park is so cooler than your park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I would still like to see another 4D done the right way before we give up on that concept. A launched 4D would be cool, where you are face first into the launch. Even like a Launched 4D shuttle loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasters 4 ever Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Invisible tracks. Underwater. 500ft tall. 0-200 in 5 seconds. All of those combined. Intamin and B&M merge. I highly doubt all of those but the 500ft tall and 0-200 in 5 seconds, but who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterlicious Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 How about making Dragster and Ka go faster?.. lets say... 150, 160?.. is that possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisFL Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Stand-up inverted launched coaster, goes to 150mph, then a 90 degree drop, then goes into a reverse at the end, as you get launched backwords UP the 90 degrees, into a splash finale back to the station any survivors will be immediately launched again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkyjon Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 Woah you all got a little bit carried away there didnt ya! what about cars above and below a track the are combined so there an inverter such as B n M at the bottom and a floorless on top how awsome is that!

neovortex2k Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 How about a suspended wooden coaster or this is a personal favourite of mine just any normal coaster but with a jump!!!as in a section of track missing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMontu Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Back in the early Coney Island days, they actually experimented with a ride that jumped the track. I think they later closed it off for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzo41190 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 i know the stand up concept has failed but, I want to see a stand-up with a cobra roll. I really like stand up coasters even though i ride them like a floorless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmerleeberry Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Here's an interesting idea for a future coaster: a coaster in which you ride sideways. It'll be a steel coaster of coaster and it'll feature heartline rolls. Or how about this new concept, a roller coaster that begins going forward until hits the mid-station, the tracks are switched from behind the train, and ride continues going backwards on a new set of tracks. This isn't your typical forward and backwards coasters that utilizes the same track, but a different type of ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's been the future for almost 7 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklingscribe Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I always wondered if it would be possible to create a coaster train that could switch between inverted and normal track. This way parks could create a ride where the track under your feet would suddenly end and for a second or so it would feel as if the train left the track until the riders realize the track is now overhead.

thrillseeker4552 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I have wondered this for a while. It's a fun concept to think about. Looping wood coasters are growing. I would eventually like to see a complete circut roller coaster that operates backwards, preferabally a hyper coaster. Humans can only with-stand so many negative Gs, but while riding backwards you can experience much greater negative and positive forces. I think backwards airtime would be an odd feeling. We never really know. I have my heart set on majoring in engineering and hopefully design amusement rides, which is why I enjoy futuristic roller coasters so much. I guess only time will tell... I might be wrong about the higher tolerance of backwards G force. Anyone else know? Wikipedia said no but I remember Mythbusters doing something about G force and forwards/backwards tolerance.

XYZ Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I would eventually like to see a complete circut roller coaster that operates backwards, preferabally a hyper coaster. Jester (SFNO) is a complete circuit coaster that has a backwards train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
