KPfreak519 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 A friend dropped me some pictures of what looks like a concept for a B&M sitdown. I'm not sure if its real or not. I'll just leave it for everybody else to decide. He said that he would send me more if he found any new pics. I still have no idea what park its going to or what the name of the coaster is. Interesting, but in the second pic, the 3 corkscrews in a row looks pretty suspicious. Im pretty sure B&M's never done that, and they haven't really taken any progressive steps with their sit-downs in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 ^ I've never noticed that before, interesting. This could be a prototype sit down coaster B&M is creating with new, unique elements. And considering the fact that they haven't built a sit down in a while before LZ, they could be holding out on us. Or maybe my friend is playing a cruel joke on me. Either way, I have my fingers crossed for the prototype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 ^I personally think your 'friend' is just a really good artist/cartoonist, and is trying to fool us all (But the drawings really do look cool!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just leave it for everybody else to decide. He said that he would send me more if he found any new pics. I still have no idea what park its going to or what the name of the coaster is. Don't think so. Speaking from experience, those pieces aren't clear enough to pass for concept art. You need to convey what you're actually building better to get approval from most municipalities. I saw a simple park play structure get shot down recently because it wasn't clear enough from the drawings what it would look like. Really though, the second pic with the three corkskrews gives it away. Not only is it poorly drawn (for professional work, at least), but they'd never slap a bunch of inversions over a big pedestrian area like that, they'd have to have huge nets underneath it and it wouldn't look as nice as a quick pass through. Looks like a lot of the other doodles coaster fanboys do around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. Look at Corkscrew at Cedar Point, both inversions go directly over the midway...no nets used there. I did not take these photos.

coolhandluke Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Speaking from experience, those pieces aren't clear enough to pass for concept art. You need to convey what you're actually building better to get approval from most municipalities. Concept art actually tends to be somewhat vague and ambiguous in detail. Look at the concept art for Manta...almost no one could get a clear grip on its layout until it was actually being build. I do agree with you that these wouldn't be drawings submitted anywhere for project approvals, but I have seen plenty of un-detailed concept art before. But I still don't think these are real.

The Disneylander Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 The concept art looks pretty fake to me. I mean, most art nowadays is computerized, not drawn on paper with what looks like a #2 pencil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 ^IIRC, Hersheypark released a Fahrenheit concept that looked like it was drawn poorly on a napkin. Of course a lot of people thought the concept was fake because it looked like it was poorly drawn. You guys caught me. The concepts that I posted WERE fakes. The coaster is basically a concept for a B&M sitdown that I made up for a theme park in Nashville, Tennessee (because I have no life). Not only is it poorly drawn (for professional work, at least),I'm always trying to perfect my artwork in order to make it look more realistic. I would love it if you gave me some tips on how to perfect my artwork. I'm just gonna release the rest of the pictures. Gosh I need to get a life, FAST. What roller coaster is this ride based on again? I was actually inspired by Shane's Opryland thread as well as that Orleans Boardwalk RCT3 scenario.

gotdane Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 ^Har har har. So, I'd think either some track movement would have happened or some additional track/supports would have been placed out by now... Anyone seen anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedten Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I like how tightly woven the concept art was. Kudos! I know it included inversions so it wasn't a hyper however, I like Raging Bull for the fact it's a B & M hyper that is not an out and back. It has more of a cyclone layout with the drop in the middle and big turn arounds on each end. I hope we get another B&M mega in this style instead of more out and backs like Nitro, AC, & Diamondback (all though they are swell) Well the mystery track isn't fakery. We're still trying to figure that out. My best guess is that it was extra track that they decided to move around their facilities or test track. I think it's much too late for a 2009 coaster & I doubt it will be for a 2010 coaster installation either, all though I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulie123 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Well its been a while since anyone has posted in this thread. I was just wondering if anyone had any news. Or what do you guys think about it now? Still think its for a new coaster or just some spare track? I still think it was a bit much track to just have 'left over' or to use as 'test track'. Im still very curious Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I think we are still waiting for someone to call, e-mail or knock on the door of B&M and ask them what the deal is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
