Sorry to sound stupid, but what is extra ride time?

 

Extra/Exclusive ride time is where you can hire out a ride exclusively for a while. General public aren't allowed on, just you and the people you specify.

I was wondering what was going on with this coaster. The trains are SO short! That pretzel twist looks ridiculous. I can only hope an Intamin this twisted ends up in the US in the future.

 

Thanks for the update!

^ The trains probably aren't gonna be that short. Remember what they did on Superman at WBMV? They only tested part of the train, and later, started testing the full train. They probably just want to see how it works.

 

Thanks for the update anyways! Very nice pictures, my compliments.

RCDB lists Speed Monster as having two - three car trains. When a coaster is using only a couple of cars it is during the pull-through: the testing phase before actual circuit testing to make sure the track is secure and clearances are met.

 

Using only a couple of cars on a coaster that would actually run more once opened would make the coaster run the course at the wrong speed.

The brake fins don't run the entire length of the launch track. They look like they only go about three-fifths of the way. And the final brake run looks really short. There's a picture looking in the station, and it looks like the last turn practically goes into the station. I guess the brakes don't have to be so long because the trains are short.

The testing pictures look awesome; I can't wait to ride it!!! I'm wondering if only having three cars on the trains will cause long lines! Does anyone know how many trains Speed Monster is going to have?

The trains are not going to be longer, its says on Tusenfryd's site that it'll have 3 cars.

Dude, they better have like four or more trains running because if not, the line is gonna take forever.

Tusenfryd doesn't really have a problem with long lines... The longest I've ever waited was 40 minutes for Thundercoaster, and that was a weekend in July!

Only two trains... I was thinking about capacity myself, but like others have said, it seems the park doesn't get very crowded, and like all other rocket coasters, it probably gets through its circuit pretty quickly.

Justin Gavarnovic (hope I spelled that correctly), chairman of the European Coaster Club, has ridden Speedmonster and he said this about the ride:

 

"FANTASTIC. Very smooth. First element works perfectly. Loads of airtime

and g's "

 

 

Only 9 days until I get to ride it...

You get 'these kind of coasters' overthere. Have you totally forgotten about Storm Runner?? And Rita and Stealth isnt any more original than TTD, KK and Xcellerator.

Posted

Not that SpeedMonster looks any bad (which is certainly does not!!) but I really envy you for having TTD and KK over there!

I'm going to ride SM tomorrow and I think it's going in my top 5-10
