TyRush Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 ^I thought the Hulk's launch was not manufactured by B&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkid124 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 ^It wasn't. The park had something to do with the launch segment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Exactly, B&M and Launch are a no no for now. And their first launch coaster wouldn't be this enormous of a ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkid124 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Definitely not a wing coaster or invert. Most likely a sit down coaster like Incredible Hulk. If we do see a B&M launched coaster one day, I wonder what type of launch it would be. Hydraulic, LIM/LSM, or Flywheel? I seriously doubt a pneumatic launch.

TyRush Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I wouldnt really want to see them do launched coasters. I think the way they do them the "classic" way is unique to the company. Save the launching for Intamin, Mack, ect. Â Hey almost 1 day till the announcement! Go Banshee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterkid124 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 ^I wasn't talking about this coaster, I was saying that if B&M ever made a launched coaster, the first one wouldn't be something as big for the first time. Again, I could be wrong, but that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernierocker Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 There is absolutely nothing here pointing to a launched coaster. How on earth are we even discussing such a thing?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterjunkie1975 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 B&M and Launch are two words that don't go in the same sentence. Â And it was'nt too long ago that that none of us would have fathomed that B&M and Giga would have been used in the same sentence. Â Less than 24 hours to go folks...if this does end up being an Invert let's hope there is some new element that we have never seen before on an inverted coaster.

Wingless92 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Probably not a launched ride but that's me. Â The new lifts kinda suck. Hear me out. Â MF and Maverick are great rides. But, the lift hill is too fast. Meaning, that you don't have that much time to look around and take everything in. Then again, The Beast has the slowest lift hill I have ever been on. There needs to be a nice compromise on lift hill speed. Diamondback's lift hill speed is perfect, not to fast, not to slow. Â I would love to meet up with some other TPR'ers tomorrow but the weather doesn't look that good. Not really in the mood to stand around in the rain for a coaster unveiling. I might change my mind but I doubt it. Â Either way, can't wait to see what they thought up. I know i'll be renewing my Platinum Pass for next year.

Woodie Warrior Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I think I'm the one who brought up the launched thing. I hadn't seen the blueprints, but since apparently they have a lift hill I know it won't be launching. I didn't think that my one comment that was proven wrong would be discussed any further.

adamico2 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Let me just say, if these blueprints are fake, Mr. Daniel James Peak, P.E. would be in some serious trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopScreweD Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Anybody check out screamscape in the last day rumors of a bait and switch but unlike any I've seen. The rumored Bat/Banshee possible coaster instead what could be even better is a re theme of Top Gun to the bat and have the new ride be added in the old SoB spot to match the new Bat with a Banshee.

Vonni Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Well today is the day we have all been waiting for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrapesLie Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Yes today is the day they announce the day for their announcement of the day they announce their new Giga inverted wing launched wooden coaster! Oh the spectacle! Also everyone is wrong it's not called Bat or Banshee Its called Batshee and the Silver Comb of Mystery! Yes it will have a small dark ride section! Worry not after the first season it will be declared too scary for the GP and they will purchase the art and set pieces from Garfield's Nightmare at Kennywood. It will then be retheamed and renamed Garfield and Batshee's Wild Night . . . And the Silver Comb of Mystery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLehto Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 A giga or record breaking invert would be cool, but watch it just be another wing rider! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 We should have a contest to not say any speculations the entire day! Â Yeah that wont last... Cause its obviously a Giga Inverted Wing Launched Wooden Coaster like ^^he mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCT3Bross Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Around 11 and a half hour to go right? (I live in Europe, so I want to get it right.) Â Well I wonder how many rows will be backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I'll be meeting up with 2-3 other TPR members, so if you're there and want to hang out PM me for my number and we can meet up! I won't be there until around 4:30-5 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aCoasterStory Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Well I wonder how many rows will be backwards. Â That's actually brilliant. I hadn't thought about it till now, but with SFGAm running Batman Backwards this year, it's at least conceivable that this ride could be designed to run entirely backwards...

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 The past 24 hours in this thread is full of madness... Â So I will patiently wait for the announcement today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I think if I were designing a backwards invert, I would keep the row at the front of the train facing forward, because the experience in the front row of an invert is really awesome.
