^Shockwave at Drayton Manor has a zero-g roll too. http://rcdb.com/814.htm This will be the first B&M with one though and second in the world!

[DJeXeL]

^Correction: First B & M with a zero-g roll

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

^See? B&M does break records...Take that Sandor!

Um...Sandor built the first stand-up with a zero-G roll...

[Gigalyte]

^^How is it breaking any records by being the first B&M stand up with a zero g?

 

Also would that Blue inverted layout be the first B&M inverted without a zero g roll or is that a zero g roll by the station, anyways looks like it going to be a fun ride with or without a zero g.

I'm really digging that color scheme on the stand-up coaster. Looks very pretty!

[BigDipper 80]

Well, that came completely out of left field. Cool.

[RoCo]

Wait, WHAT?!

 

A new stand-up coaster? Britney's "Baby One More Time" is playing on the radio, the Clinton Impeachment trial is winding down, I just heard another Y2K joke...

 

Did I time-warp back to 1999? Freaky, man...

Well B&M will build whatever ride type the client asks for,I wonder if we may see a redesign of the trains to make for a better ride with this one?

[RoCo]

^I always thought the B&M stand-up trains were pretty awesome. Heck, I LOVE B&M stand-ups (well, the huge ones and Georgia Scorcher, though it's been ages since I rode GS).

[Ed Farmer]

*Awesome* to see a new B&M standup, even if it isn't one I'll ever try out. With so many interesting projects going in overseas, this one just became the one I'm most interested in. I love B&M standups.

Monopoly money?

Personally, I've always liked the standup concept and am glad to see another one being built.

While I do understand the "fad" label and I know stand-ups have various drawbacks, I've enjoyed every installation I've ridden. And I've ridden some of the worst! No problems here with the revival.

[sclisso]

Yeah, I agree. I like the stand up coasters. I mean yeah, it does suck to have your balls crushed,but other than that, I like the feel of them. When I go to carowinds every year, I always get 2-3 rides on Vortex before I leave. I'm really liking that color scheme.

[jamesS]

I think its great to see B&M trying new things lately, such as,

 

A dive loop on a inverted coaster

 

A loop on a flying coaster

 

A new wingrider style coaster at Gardenland

 

And of-course this new zero g roll on a stand up coaster

 

This is a big step seeing that B&M likes to play it safe.

[A.J.]

It looks sort of like Daemonen - not because of the layout itself, but of how tight and compact the layout appears to be.

[Gutterflower]

 

You can see the layout here. Not a long layout by any means but a dive loop and an immelmen either side of the zero-g-roll is a nice touch.

[A.J.]

Inclined loop, dive loop, zero-G, immelman, corkscrew, airtime hill, turn, brake run.

 

I like it!

[tiger01]

It's wierd how it's sort of on the side of a steep drop. I like the look of the inline twist though...And to everyone who's going on the China Trip...Enjoy! It's as though China Is building this just for TPRs Trip!

Where's the inverted coaster and the flying coaster being built?

[Ed Farmer]

FWIW rcdb has this as rumored only.
