Kooky Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 More Photos on http://onride.de/viewtopic.php?t=28726&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=750. just scroll a little bit down! EDIT: and they put the first car with the windshields and the german ex tennis player "Boris Becker" on the track for some press-photos: http://www.tikonline.de/stargalerien/Boris+Becker+am+N%C3%BCrburgring/Boris-Becker-G7 and there is a racing trailer for "24 hours Racing" 4D-Cinema from the park, just some racing scenes, but they really look good:
Kooky Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 i found some really nice new photos from "amorphis" on http://freizeitparkweb.de/cgi-bin/dcf/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=7039&forum=DCForumID4&viewmode=all (he mentioned that he asked if he could took photos from the buidling area, so i hope its ok to link this photos): second train on a truck
dr.gumbo Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Looking awesome, I'm glad they didn't go with the original plans and actually made this into a proper coaster.
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Man, I remember it was announced not long ago, and they're already making good progress on it! Good old S&S Power.
DiSab Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Looking good. However, looking at those trains, I can't help but think that the windshield on them will end up TTD'd at some point...
deano Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Holy crap they have done a lot over there since I last checked, its looking great. What a shame that the windshield will stop the front row riders from getting a mouthful of bugs during night time rides.
topthrill2 Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 i cant bieleve that there actually making this! the only problem is that the brakes are right after the launch
matteocrepaldi Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 They could have designed it without brakes after the launch but they probably didn't have eanough money and space to make it possible.
Théo the little french Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 i cant bieleve that there actually making this! the only problem is that the brakes are right after the launch They had to do it because this ride is not a normal coaster; it's supposed to be a F1 simulator, and during a F1 race there are accelerations, brakes, accelerations, brakes again...... If, in this ride their were only a big launch but no brakes, it would not be realistic. (I admit the horse shoes is not realistic, but I guess it was add to the ride to make more fun).
Team Thriller Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I wish it wasn't delayed until July. It was supposed to open tomorrow. But I'll be there opening day regardless on when it opens. --James
matteocrepaldi Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 From a more recent update it looked like the turn was almost completed.
Kooky Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 it is completed since two days after i posted the last photos! just didn`t found good new ones to post it here. But you can see it on the webcam (on the right side of the picture): source:http://www.nuerburgring.de/fileadmin/webcam/webcam2.jpg
thrillrideseeker Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I wonder how a rollback would be on this ride!! ~Matthew
Airtime&Gravity Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Wow, I didn't know it ran in front of the grandstands. Even though it lacks a giant top hat like Top Thrill Dragster or Kingda Ka, this still looks like an impressive ride. The launch should be incredible, and even with the breaking after the launch, and it should still be fun. Plus, the launch track looks really long, so hopefully riders get to experience the speed for a little bit before hitting the breaks.
coaster1000 Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Amazing! For the first time (regarding coasters) I'm happy to be living in Denmark. I'm definately gonna go there sometime.
themeparkman25 Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I wonder how a rollback would be on this ride!! ~Matthew I don't know if there will be. It isn't like TTD or KK where there is a big hill to climb, this hill is rather short (compared to the others). I think some massive mechanical failure would have to happen, and then there would be a lot of other issues...
Kooky Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 i found a newspaper scan on http://onride.de/viewtopic.php?t=28726&start=825, the source of the picture is from http://i41.tinypic.com/50p0gk.jpg looks really hot:
Manny In England Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 It looks really good but I can't help but thing that a top hat over the actual course would have been very iconic.
atem122 Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I'm 100% sure it's fine, but the heartlining from that angle on the transition leading up the tophat looks odd, must be a bad angle
Kooky Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 ^^ i don`t know exatly, but i read somewhere that its around 40 meters = 131.233596 feet. But i don`t exactly, so +-10 meter.
matteocrepaldi Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 That looks more like 30 meters to me than 40.
christianscoasters Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 If you're going approx 130 mph., that twist in the middle of the ascent is going to hurt.
