jason10 Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I'm really confused over this coaster. When I first saw what I thought the track was, it was flat and boxy. This really confused. me. The only images we have seen of this have been very sketchy and don't really tell us much. Even the video is 'blah.' I'm looking forward to seeing it in action though.
Shavethewhales Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Those pieces look like low-stress pieces for the slow bit through the indoor area. Good to see the S&S Arrow tubular track again.
DBru Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 That looks like...I don't know "odd" track. It looks like "Powder Keg" track...YEA!
Kooky Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 some new facts: they moddified the train and put on them a windshield. the curve of the track has height of 33 meters. you find a park map here: http://www.ring-werk.com/attraktionen/ and the new video of the complete project here: http://www.nuerburgring.de/Nuerburgring-2009.53.0.html
dr.gumbo Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 ^ The whole complex actually looks pretty nice, thanks for the video.
megamatt Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Could the "windshield" slow the trains down? Depending on how big it is it could cause alot of drag.
Mochtroid Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 some new facts: they moddified the train and put on them a windshield.the curve of the track has height of 33 meters. you find a park map here: http://www.ring-werk.com/attraktionen/ and the new video of the complete project here: http://www.nuerburgring.de/Nuerburgring-2009.53.0.html http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ring-werk.com%2Fattraktionen%2F&sl=de&tl=en&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 Translated easy link. I hope the windshield isn't too intrusive, otherwise there will be no hair in the wind.
coastered Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 some new facts: they moddified the train and put on them a windshield. Do you have some foto's or conceptart from those new trains with the windshield. Because I can only find conceptart from the trains without a windshield.
Kooky Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 no sorry there is no one! a must say that i just read about it in other german forums so its better to take it as a rumor...
Kooky Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 i don`t think so.... where have you read this!? you can see some little pics from construction area from the last weeks: http://www.nuerburgring.de/Baustellendokumentation.474.0.html seems that much work had to be done and they will build on this till summer
Kooky Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 the 3 air pressure tanks for the coaster arrived. Nice German report with video on http://www.ksta.de/html/artikel/1233584162386.shtml here are some pics from the report: and there is a new graphic from the curve at the end of the track in the coaster report on http://www.bild.de/BILD/lifestyle/reise/2009/03/die-krassesten-achterbahnen/der-welt-nur-fuer-mutige.html here is the picture: THe curve really looks good
netdvn Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Dang those tanks are HUGE! The turn is also very awesome looking!
Jive Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Looks like a much larger version of the final turn on Powder Keg.
matteocrepaldi Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Wow! Those air tanks are BIG! This is not way too far from where I live. I might be able to ride it next summer!
Kooky Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 there is a new picture/renedering of the trains with the windshield on it on http://onride.de/viewtopic.php?t=28726&start=675. (just scroll a little bit down)
Kooky Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Some (very)small pics of the the first track elements from http://www.nuerburgring.de/Baustellendokumentation.474.0.html:
FirstDropJ Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 there is a new picture/renedering of the trains with the windshield on it on http://onride.de/viewtopic.php?t=28726&start=675. (just scroll a little bit down) I like the new rendering. The windshield does not look like it will interfere too much. After seeing some photos of the track being put in place and the new rendering I am kind of excited to see the finished coaster.
mikkey Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Yesterday I've been to the legendary 24h-Race... the new "Nürburgring 2009" is massive and the ring°racer is hot: Way out of the box... ...start parallel to the real pole position... ...launch along the starting and finishing straights... ...brakes at the end of the brandnew grandstand... ...up to the sky... ...back to the indoor themepark. To take away!
DBru Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Cool update. Thanks for the photos! That last hop into the brakes should be full of airtime.
Jds03 Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 WOW, I have to admit, I think it’s really cool the way the track is laid out between the stands and the raceway.
Loefet Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 We drove by Nurburgring today, since we had nothing better to do really, and suddenly we saw... Loads of supports and track Even more supports Back into the building Future location of the tall turnaround It will coast along there And finally Turn out of the station
hansrubens Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 ^ Thanks for posting. I can't wait to ride it later this year. Looking forward to your Walibi World update. ----Hans
matteocrepaldi Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 That looks great! I can't wait to see the top of the turn around completed.
