Sneaky Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) It looks quite a bit faster than I was expecting. Especially considering it's still a test run. The lights look nice too. ~Sneaky Edited April 17, 2014 by Sneaky
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Wow! That's really fast! Also very loud at the same time. Maybe the loud noise is just a temporary wheels issue.
Nrthwnd Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 oh my ph my oph my ophym oh my..... That was stunning, with the lights on! Wow. It looked wonderful. And sounded awesome.
CP_RULES Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Looks amazing! Wonder why one of the car's lights weren't working yet, though. Hopefully a minor glitch and not an ongoing problem, those lights are definitely a defining feature of the ride.
TyRush Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Wow it looks so amazing! Has some great train lights as well
GrapesLie Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 OMG I'm almost teary eyed! That thing looks so sick!
BeJayDoubleyou Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 My eyeballs have erections. What a beautiful ride with those lights on!
Loefet Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 That's almost even better than the link I got, But it's still epic!!! Looked though that one of the cars had a malfunctioning light though, wonder also if the noise is a wheel issue or that the track joints needs some smoothing work, or could it maybe be that the microphone on the camera is just too sensitive making the noises stand out even more? Also, embedded the video for everyone to see: [youtu_be]http://youtu.be/nS53MscX5w8[/youtu_be]
The Yeti Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Oooooh baby!!!!! That pretzel loop looks like something else...but the drop before it? OMFG! Edited April 17, 2014 by The Yeti
Ap0ptosis Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 The light seemed to be working in the first clip so it is probably just something minor (Provided they are still only doing testing with one train). And oh god that is beautiful!
_koppen Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 The pacing is just so much better than I was excepting! And the lights are gorgeous For the first time I really feel that this ride might make it into my top 3, and not just my top 10.
GeorgeT Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Holy crap....that thing looks sooooooo amazing I`m now thinking more than ever that this could be a new Nr. 1 Steelie Edited April 17, 2014 by GeorgeT
Loefet Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 It do have nice speed through the circuit, and it will only be faster I love the noise it makes in the 2:nd boost section, it's like a wailing banshee
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 ^ the sounds of the LSM launches are awesome! There are similar light issues on Gatekeeper as well, might be some minor issues. About the sound of the ride, I guess it's the microphone being too sensitive. The volume of the count down on Powder Keg is actually very low, but it sounds pretty loud on all the POV's I've watched. I guess it's the similar issue.
per2012 Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Is there anyone that can tell me why LSM launches makes funny noises? Edited April 17, 2014 by per2012
rcjp Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Awesome! I love how it already seems to have a pretty good pacing and some fast transitions! Lately may manufacturers seem to be focusing on slower inversions that provide negative Gs (like the YOLOloop) so I find it great to see someone still making inversions travelled quite fast through the top, creating some good old positives. By the way, do blue fire's LSMs make any noise? (I thought they were silent or nearly) so it's interesting that these make that kind of whistle.
Loefet Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Is there anyone that can tell me why LSM launches makes funny noises? My guess would be that it's a phenomenon called "coil whine". Read more at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coil_noise But it's basically the LSM units themselves that vibrates due to the magnetic load they are experiences as the train goes by. It's very similar to many electronic things today (computers, screens, chargers, etc) which can emit a high pitch noise when in use. Official Helix POV!! Embedded the video from above: A couple of things that are noteworthy on that POV. The perspective makes will make the ride look very different in reality, the camera is mounted at the level where you have your feet. And it's running slow in that video, I reckon that it will have to speed up about 10 seconds on the coasting bit to live up to the calculations done for Helix. So it will get even better Source as well now: http://projekthelix.se/enjoy-the-ride/ Edited April 19, 2014 by robbalvey
rcjp Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 ^What is interesting is that while most companies' LSMs make that noise, intamin's makes a completely different one. I wonder why that is.

Different time of LSM units, the shape and thickens is very different so it will vibrate on a different frequency, hence the difference in sound.
Mrlittle Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Dude that pov. Looks like a lot of fun. I'm definitely going to have to go ride this one year.
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Holy crap! Some of the transitions must be really intense! Looks like a top 10 material.
