Meteornotes Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I am excited by both the lap bar restraints on the coaster, and especially the giant elephant! No idea what it might have to do with the theme, but again...GIANT ELEPHANT. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I'm REALLY excited for next year! I'm definitely planning on hitting up Cinecitta World; hopefully I can get there around opening day so that I can show TPR and the world how awesome this place looks!

Blatch Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Source Gorgeous. You spin me right round, baby. Right round. Like a record player. I had no idea about this park before, but it looks awesome, especially with the new Intamin, drop tower, and strange looking water ride. If I could go to Italy, this park would be top priority for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GayCoasterGuy Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 10 upside-downs with only a lap bar. Someone is using their noodle! Poor Smiler, Maverick, etc. etc. etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Totally didn't know about this. What a beautiful track color. And those rolls sure are photogenic. You spin me right round, baby. Right round. Like a record player. Thanks. A lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PikaPika Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I think the elephant is based on Hannibal's war elephants, but they look kinda steampunk. Either way a giant elephant is sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiMiT Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Intamin has come a long way with safety. California Screamin' has one inversion and requires bulky cars with OTSR's, and this ride with 10 inversions only needs a well designed lap restraint on very sleek cars. By the way, that quad roll is mucho sexy with triangular track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 This is not about the coaster in this park, but the clone of it opening soon in China has made it's first test runs. It looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IneedTPforbunghole Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 This is not about the coaster in this park, but the clone of it opening soon in China has made it's first test runs.It looks really good. Wow, the Chinese really love to use Touhou music in some of their coaster videos, even though the series is Japanese, but whatever. But in all seriousness, it looks gorgeous and really fun!

jedimaster1227 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 http://entertainmentdesigner.com/news/theme-park-design-news/cinecitta-world-says-benvenuto-at-long-last-in-2014/ At first promised to open in 2011 then postponed to 2012 and then again… at long last Cinecittà World is in its final construction stages and is slated to open by mid-2014 near Castel Romano. Like an Italian iteration of Universal Studios – but much more opulent – Cinecittà World will have rides and attractions inspired by Cinecittà Studios’ films and TV shows. The theme park is located just outside of Rome and features attractions from the mind of Oscar winning art director Dante Ferretti with master planning by Valerio Mazzoli Studios. Cinecittà World will include 16 indoor children’s attractions, three thrill rides and 19 family attractions. In addition to the 38 attractions, the 23 acre park will contain seven self-serve restaurants, 11 coffee bars, one entertainment arena and 57 snack and merchandising kiosks. This is actually the first of four planned phases. The second phase will be “The Village” which will contain shops, restaurants and movie theatres. Phases three and four include Cinecittà World 2 (another theme park type area) and Cinecittà Nature – 170 acres of natural environment to be used for films but which will be partially accessible to the public. So what can we expect from this long awaited theme park? First is the main entrance you can see in the topmost image above called the Temple of Moloch inspired by the lush black and white classic Cabiria – an early Cinecittà film. Next you’ll find a historical Main Street modeled on the sets of Gangs of New York and an Intamin-built Colossus style coaster that will be one of only five coasters in the world with 10 inversions. Only two coasters in the world have more. Also cool is that the entrance to the ride will be a sci-fi themed space ship. Cinecittà World will feature the longest Mack Super Splash ride (more than 550 meters) with an entrance modeled on Roman architecture featured in the film Ben Hur. A multi-motion dark ride will be themed around Dante’s Inferno with an entrance that warns “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.” Also underway is a panoramic flight simulator and an Indian-inspired Intamin free fall tower that launches and culminates in a richly outfitted sitting pachyderm. Looking at the concept art and in-progress construction photos what becomes quickly apparent is that the allure of this park will be much more than the thrill of the rides. It’s the rich architecture and overall design drawn from the body of Cinecittà’s cinematic library that will make this park unlike any other in the world.

cfc Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 an Indian-inspired Intamin free fall tower that launches and culminates in a richly outfitted sitting pachyderm. I'm glad the free-fall tower will "culminate" in the same space from which it launched. It would be very odd tower ride if it "culminated" somewhere else.

_koppen Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 POV! Well it's not from this coaster, but the sister in China. It looks damn awesome, and I suspect that this might be a future big seller for Intamin. Btw, notice the extremely ugly work they have done with the footers!

This improved version looks like a really solid good ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) ^I agree that the "old models" aren't very good. But as for this "new" version . . . that remains to be seen. Edited October 24, 2013 by cfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon8899 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 With the cool outlook during the heartline rolls this coaster is one of the few where I would wait for a front seat ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been on collossus at tp and it was so rough, it had loads of head banging but the new version with lap bars i think will make it a good coaster, plus i live 1 hour away from rome so I will be visiting as soon as it opens ! from the video tho there still seems to be a rough transition on the cobra roll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
