Olov Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 In his case not graduate either. They're just celebrating the end of another semester before the summer holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFChris Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Just curious, does anybody else out there think this will be a lateral g nightmare? I mean, it doesn't appear to me that the cars themselves bank much on any of the turns. Â Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 ^Well, the cars swing freely...like a suspended coaster...so high lats shouldn't be a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Joel_ Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Sorry, my English is not the best. But I finish the ninth grade this year. Skara sommarland hosting a party called "Last night with the gang".

Loefet Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 ^ You mean that it's one of those days that normal people should avoid then  This coaster is the one that I'm most looking forward to ride this year, just because it's so different to anything else out there.

Loefet Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 The ride have now completed it's first test rides, so another hurdle of the construction process is done!! Â No pictures though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillerman1 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Great news Peter. I'm still holding out hope that it opens and no one breaks it before we get there in a few more weeks. Thanks for keeping us updated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Joel_ Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hey! New updates with photos from Tranan's blog, and two new photos at RCDB! Enjoy! Â Tranan is now open at the weekend. Â (But I will go on the 12th June) The first S&S Power Free Fly in the world! Tranan at Skara Sommarland, Sweden. The lift uphill. Yeah! The wheel fasteners.

coaster_dude2002 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I'm glad they got it up and running already! Should be a lot of fun, heres to hoping nothing goes wrong between now and the Scandi trip in June! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vacoaster Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Here's a video however its doesnt do much as they filled it at what seems max zoom. Anyone shooting coaster videos please resist the urge to zoom your cameras way in it ruins the perspective as you'll see here. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 That thing needs grease. I cannot believe how much it screeches, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Looks like a cool concept ride, not something I could see catching on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Screeching like an eagle, maybe it's deliberate - I doubt it. Â All I can say is this coaster looks unusual and I will ride it if we get the chance on the Scandi tour. It still seems rather pointless to have track that inverts but the riders don't go upside down. Oh well, I'll reserve judgement until I ride it.

Olov Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Well the point of inverted tracks is because of the rolls which are the interesting parts giving a nice sensation of weightlessness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Well the point of inverted tracks is because of the rolls which are the interesting parts giving a nice sensation of weightlessness. Â Thanks for that, I wasn't clear about what the point of the rolls was. I thought it was more like - oh no we're going to go upside down, no we're not sort of thing, which might amuse younger riders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I don't know, but I think the concept is cool and a lot more can be done with it. It probably could be like the Arrow suspended coaster of the 21st century if they experiment with it more. The only problem would be the forces put onto the cars with the extreme swinging. Imagine the cars like this on Big Bad Wolf or creating a layout with long drops and turns in a deeply wooded forest. Â It might not be possible, but it's something cool to think about.

themeparkman25 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I think the design if pretty cool but I have to imagine the ride is a capacity nightmare. Â And, I think this ride might have topped HRRR for most unusually supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linearinduction Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 That thing needs grease. I cannot believe how much it screeches,Sounds like New Wheels on Painted Rails to me. Wicked did the same thing when it was brand new. Looks like another fun new Family Coaster option to me. I hope S&S sells a couple more of these with an even longer layout. - Sid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Now that I think about it...what happened to the 'bird' cars? The're just testing the ride so I'm assuming the bird will be added later. Â I think the design if pretty cool but I have to imagine the ride is a capacity nightmare. Well S&S really isn't known to have the best capacity for any of their rides. Â Imagine the cars like this on Big Bad Wolf or creating a layout with long drops and turns in a deeply wooded forest. You mean like Eagle Fortress? An EF, style Eagle Coaster actually sounds very cool although I don't think many parks would opt for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkman25 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 what kind of restrains uses this coaster? Â Well, my speculation is that it is just lap restraint and the reason I say that is because in this picture the women in the stripes does not appear to have restraints over the shoulders. Also, in the video that someone took at IAAPA (I think) the concept design does not have OTSR's either. Of the pov on page 9 of this thread you can also tell at times that there are no OTSR's.

Ccron10 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 They do use lapbar restraints. To improve capacity they could link together a few cars and even have a multi-level station. To do this the track would need to be 90 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
