TheHulk Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 A pic of this coaster was used on the textbooks we use to have for the High school I went to. All the while, I've been wondering what coaster it is...and never mind what I said about vekoma. I hate math, but I love coasters. What a combo. Lol.

coaster_dude2002 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I think we used the same textbook in my high school. The coaster on the cover is Corkscrew at Sea World in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yay for the roller coaster textbook. Anyway, thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 We had a similar one for Grade 11, though I could never figure it out... No logo on the front of the train, either. Kinda looks like a snake (Viper?) or at least it has scales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Starr Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Dude! I have that same book! There's not much about coasters in it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Both of them look like Arrow/Vekoma's from the track/train design. By the way, speaking of school books and coasters... I get to talk about rollercoaster designs/physics/history to 10th grade science classes for volunteer service hours in April! Going to be so fun trying ot explain that sorta stuff to the "GP"!

PointeBreak Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Is the textbook in the OP Australian? If not, it's a bit random to pick the Corkscrew of all coasters. Maybe that was the one the publishing company just found in the stock library used. That said, I love the Corkscrew , great little coaster despite its short length and still awesomely smooth to ride. Shame it goes on a boring maths textbok though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebl Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 The coaster on the cover of the mathbook in the first post has an unusual feature---a left-hand corkscrew. That picture may have been printed backwards, as there are very few Arrow or Vekoma corkscrews with a left-hand twist. A flag in the background looks like it could be the French flag, but I wasn't able to tell for sure. Those are a couple of clues as to what ride this is.
