jason10 Posted February 15, 2009 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megamatt Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Could the "windshield" slow the trains down? Depending on how big it is it could cause alot of drag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastered Posted March 18, 2009 Share 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.

FirstDropJ Posted April 29, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikkey Posted May 24, 2009 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Cool update. Thanks for the photos! That last hop into the brakes should be full of airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jds03 Posted May 24, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted May 26, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
