Astat Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 This looks to be the best Accelerator coaster so far, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Is there some sort of trickery needed to get the video to work? It won't load for me. Yeah, the video kept crashing my browser as well. To access it directly, open Windows Media Player and paste in mms://video.vg.no/vg/video2005/storage/compressed/2961/wm_56.wmv Also, there is a third video at http://forbruker.no/reise/article1287881.ece Interesting that in all three videos the ride seems to be making a creaking sound already.

ncf Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Interesting that in all three videos the ride seems to be making a creaking sound already. Don't worry, it was buttersmooth throughout the whole ride Kanonen makes the same noice over the corkscrewhop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Kanonen was hardly 'buttersmooth' in anything but the front seat. I hope this ride is smoother!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Justin Garvanovic says the ride is smooth so I choose to belive him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingdaKa Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Hm, still can't view any of these video for some reason. You need Windows Media Player 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadmos Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I do have Windows Media Player 10. The video page that you linked to works fine, but only the sites logo plays and then it does nothing, no matter how long I wait. I did however get this one to work. The ride looks like alot fun. Nice mix of airtime and positive g's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadmos Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Probably one of a few. What don't you like about it, from what you can gather from pictures and video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildMouse Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Speed Monster 'looks' fantastic. Can't wait to see how it rides when I visit the park next year at some stage. I'm loving those dinky trains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Sabo Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Im curious to see if someone has observed the same thing, or it was just me thinking of something else. Didn't the ride ORIGINALLY have 4 cars to complete the train?...now it looks as if there are only 3 cars now. If my assumption was correct (4 cars), I wonder if the momentum on that inversion stalled when having 4 cars and they removed one to have only 3 now...hmmm...just a point to ponder..

viking86 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 The ride was designed to run 3 cars per train. It has been like that since the ride was advertised last year. You might be thinking about Kanonen at Liseberg. That ride has 4 cars per train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennywood!007 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Those trains are weird...hmm I don't know why they just look really odd to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okinawaboy11 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 It looks incredibly slow for a Accelerator. But hey that could just be me. Or its just its not breaking any records of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hopefully those fake tires hold up better then the one's that used to be on Dragster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalMAN123 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Two words: Intamin Curse. This coaster still looks awesome, seeing that it looks like it has a powerfull launch and funky inversions. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
