Jpizzle Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Anyone get the height? It almost seems like they're hiding it. I'm still checking around, though. I know, you would think if it was record-breaking they'd shout it all over as well. . .
ginzo Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 I'll give this about a 1% shot of being as good as Katun, Montu, etc. Still, it beats the heck out of SOB.
Aceattack52 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 This is going to be an insane coaster ! I really like the teaser with the SOB getting destroyed, it looked great ! It even had the loop still.
BigBomer Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 I may sound stupid asking this, but I'm going to anyways, what is the "carousel" element they talked about at the end of the ride description? The Helix.
Aceattack52 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 ^ Ok, thanks. I've never heard it called that.
CoasterLover Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Anyone get the height? I'm seeing 167' tall, 150' drop from Wiki... not sure where they got that info though...
Invertalon Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 I'll give this about a 1% shot of being as good as Katun, Montu, etc. Still, it beats the heck out of SOB. I like Montu and all, but the second half basically sucks... This looks much stronger to me, personally. I actually like Silver Bullet better than Montu, so what do I know...
Koasterking48 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 I've gotta say the height is around 160-170 feet.
GrapesLie Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) WAIT! WHAT IS HAPPENING!? I Don't understand! I'm feeling excited for a B&M Coaster! Is it 1999? Edited August 9, 2013 by GrapesLie
coasterbill Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 The realism of the video is amazing. Notice how at the start of the ride Windseeker is at the top of the tower. And at the end of the ride the riders are all still stuck up there. They left no stone unturned!
Buckeye_Ben Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 And to all the naysayers that will be coming out of the woodwork in the next few months, this is all I have to say. Son of Beast is gone, and a new B&M invert is in. It's a win for everyone except Ohio chiropractors.
trj820 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 The batwing almost looks like the 6.2g pretzel knot on Moonsault Scramble.
DOCTOR DOOM!!! Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 ^ That's the first thing I noticed.... How many trains will this run?
Aceattack52 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Anyone else realize: No MCBR's! I also found that kind of interesting. I guess it's going to be a pretty fast ride, or the lift is long.
FaithPlus1 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) I'll give this about a 1% shot of being as good as Katun, Montu, etc. Still, it beats the heck out of SOB. The most negative TPR member. Nothing in Ohio is ever good enough for the Gizmo! Edited August 9, 2013 by FaithPlus1
Angry_Gumball Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 So I finally watched the actual onride POV rendering. Granted this is only a rendering and the real thing could behave much different (much like how I didn't expect that much out of Gold Striker which actually left me surprised), the first few elements appear to feel 'floaty' up to where we hit the batwing-ish element. Batwing and upward turn (reminiscent of the upward spiral on CGA's Flight Deck) appear to pack some good continuous forces. Actually, on CGA's FD, that's the one part that causes me to gray out. The final quick helix looks to pack a bit of forces, though rather quick due to it's smaller size. All in all, this looks like it could be awesome!
jokey Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 ^ That's the first thing I noticed.... How many trains will this run? I think it is supposed to run 3
asimowalk Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) The brake run looks long enough to handle three trains, though one of the renderings shows a train at the top of the lift, presumably one in the station, but no train on the brake run. Hmm... Edited August 9, 2013 by asimowalk
KingdaKaDude1 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 I think im the only one that noticed that the promo video is made with Theme Park Studio
Invertalon Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 I think im the only one that noticed that the promo video is made with Theme Park Studio No, it is not... 3D Studio Max, actually. Trust me...
Erik Johnson Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 I think im the only one that noticed that the promo video is made with Theme Park Studio Really? That is awesome! I am glad it is not another Wing Rider.
jarmor Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Woohoo! No MCBR! Let's not rejoice so soon...we still have to traverse the "trim brake" mine field...hahaha
GrapesLie Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 So any official word. Are they Retheming Flight Deck as The Bat?! Okay maybe I'm the only one who wants this! Just sort of would like to see it live again!
