Swimace Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 ^Thanks for posting that. I hate to say it, but the ride isn't nearly as cool as I thought it'd be. All of that braking just killed any sort of pacing and the cars don't seem to rotate all that much. IMO the car spent way too much time on that middle brake. It's still a unique little ride for a small park, but it just seems too stop-and-go for a ride named "Insane". Maybe it's just like this temporarily.

dougstanton Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Wow...that ride looks terrible. I know you shouldn't pass judgment before you ride something, but this has terrible pacing along with few flips. Honestly, after watching the POV, it seems like it would be miserably rough if it went much faster. I definitely wouldn't mind seeing an Intamin model similar to X but these small coasters aren't too impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom25 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 WOW - First, thank you for the link and video. I also agree that the length of time on the brake run is too long and the pacing does appear horrible. With that said, the ride isn't even open yet, so I'm sure adjustments will be made. They almost have to be made if the ride is going to have any capacity. imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olov Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 More video reports: Aftonbladet.se SVT And as for the braking, don't think that'll change as the only brakes I could see were fixed magnetic so I guess what you see is what you get. But the drops looks nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vid_w Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I really hope the brakes won't be on so hoard in the future... the ride looks quite tame right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstevet07 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'm thinking those brakes are on so hard because if the train flys around those curves at a decent speed, it would be a large amount of stress on the structure itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimace Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Well I think it's reasonable to slow down the car that much, the turns are so tight that it really does need to be braked. The problem IMO is how much time the car sits on the brakes. It needs to be slowed down, but it doesn't need to stay slow for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkman25 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I don't like the fact that it slows down so much but I also don't think this will be a tame coaster by any means. Each of those drops will be crazy and I still think it looks like fun for the rest. Could just be me, but I don't think this was a bad investment by the park at all. Again, its not TTD or DB, but its also not something small and cheesy. Why are they testing the ride with riders with one train and the other isn't even complete yet? Thanks for the videos!

andyuk200523 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 After riding Inferno at Terra Mitica, I have to say that This doesn't look as intense! I understand that Inferno is a lot smaller so does not need to have block sections however the speed that Inferno goes round its first drop is higher than the same drop on Insane. Maybe it is just being run in at the moment, but honestly when you are on the outward facing seat, that first drop is immense! Will have to wait and see I think Andrew.

Nrthwnd Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Love the unpainted plywood at the end, coming back into the station... The ultra-slow braking looks a bit much. But hey - it's a New Credit! Looking forward to riding it in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterCard Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I am not sure what the draw of this coaster is? From what I have seen on other zecspins, a lot of the entertainment comes from the rapid inversions and changes in direction. However, this coaster does not have many inversions if any at all. Also, they brake the coaster during most of the direction changes and practically drop you over the edge instead of "throw" you over. Overall, this coaster does not appear to be nearly as entertaining as it could have been. I guess the park didn't need a great attraction to have as low a capacity as the Intamin ZacSpin's have. Too many people waiting in line... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traincrossin Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 ^Love the shades! Although the brakes seem to slow down the ride, I can see why they're necesary. It seems like that final drop into the station is one to look out for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 ^haha I can say the same, that's not my video but yeah that last one does look crazy, although there didnt seem to be as much flipping as I'd expect in the other parts of the ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 One car stalled today again during testing... And instead of getting a crane to hoist a man basket to the car, they had an employee to crawl out through the track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 That looks weird! Can't he crawl on the track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 ^ He might have done that on the way back, but I guess that it's much safer in the track rather then on it. Oh and another car have just stalled on the same location, I think that they might have to remove one trim to get it working better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrykoala2112 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Does anyone else notice that the lift isn't like a perfect round lift? It looks like it was in pieces and you can tell where they put it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Seems like the first section is more of a drop coaster, and the focus is on slowly dropping you vertical toward the water! Should still be a cool experience though. And judging from Kirnu the last hill should be pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olov Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 One car stalled today again during testing...

Does anyone else notice that the lift isn't like a perfect round lift? It looks like it was in pieces and you can tell where they put it together. That's actually just the picture screwing it up. It's more round than what the picture is showing. Look at the wavy support legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traincrossin Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Looks like fun! Does anyone know if the brakes are block brakes or just normal brakes? Also, what did you think of the brakes Joel? Did they slow down the ride to much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Joel_ Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 It would have been enough with a light braking. It feels as they want to extend the ride. But I have never ride a ZacSpin-coaster before, so I have nothing to compare with. They also slow down little before the first hill. But as you go over the water raises the scary safety factor.
