Ed Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 Yay i'm riding this next year!! It looks such an amazing ride. My most anticipated ride for next year.. Mainly cause I know i'll be riding it!
Machtin Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 The loop construction has just begun. This is going to be higher than expected. Check out the photos at onride.de
Hattuchili Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 That looks really amazing! I hope to see more pictures, soon! --Sören
roeterich Posted December 13, 2005 Author Posted December 13, 2005 Wow all those people are looking so small compared to the supports or the track. I never saw any B&M Coaster in the real life, so i think I'll be very impressed when I'll go to the Phantasialand next year even if most of the caster is ounder the ground
Guy T. Koepp Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 I'll say it again. This ride looks awesome! I just wish I could speak German so I would know what all those people are talking about. Guy "I'm half German. You would think I could speak it." Koepp
redunzelizer Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 I'll say it again. This ride looks awesome! I just wish I could speak German so I would know what all those people are talking about. Guy "I'm half German. You would think I could speak it." Koepp Hehe, Guy, never mind. Looking through these german forums you'll mostly find exaggerated discussions about: - disassembling the lifhill again, for adding more theming - B&M introducing 2-seater trains, because of the tight clearance - Will be finished in Jan. 2006. Will not yet be finished in 2006. Both for sure! - Construction work secretly happening on Sundays & during the nights. - Will get flyer trains, because of some estimated layout. - Trains getting stuck due to air friction in the tight ravines. - Evacuation platforms for various part of the ride. - Rants: Boring construction site, nothing to see, no pics available. - My dad / uncle / dad's uncle is working there, and yes, he told me... Hope this helps (for finding the demand on speaking german not that urgent, coaster-wise). But, in case you now feel you missed something though, better get some language course, quick! redunzelizer
Machtin Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 ^and now it's you who's the one exaggerating. Even though these examples given have all been discussed in the German forums, I've got to admit, there is also normal and sometimes even informative discussion going on. But you've got to agree that the posts about air compression and 2 seat trains were very entertaining to read. @ Guy: Go for it and learn German if you dare. Won't be that easy though, I assume. Wouldn't want to learn German if it wasn't my native language.
olimonn Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 German is a diffcult language to speak and to write but it's quite a simple language to read since if you konw the basic vocabulary and grammar, you'll be able to understand nearly anything since most of complex words are just two simpler words stuck together... Speaking english well can help since the root is about half the same so you can recover the meaning of some words with that... i'm native french speaking and I learned english and then german and If I'm quite useless at writing or speaking but I can understand it averagely well... I don't know if it's THAT difficult, you know there are very few exceptions so once you've got the rules, there's barely anything you need to know except vocabulary, and the use of those hellish prepositions... I don't read german forums because I still can't enough german to read it fluently, but if I were a little bit more motivated, I'm sure I would

Of course, lots of quality there. But it's so much fun to make fun... 8) BTW: small, tiny, blurred pic, nevertheless: :shock: http://freizeitparkweb.de/cgi-bin/dcf/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=844&forum=DCForumID60
redunzelizer Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 more pics, this time not so blurry: http://www.onride.de/viewtopic.php?t=19457&start=209&7281
Guy T. Koepp Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Too bad you can't SIGN over the internet. I speak American Sign Language pretty well. that and Pig Latin. Guy "AckBla Amblamay ookslay oolkay!" Koepp
Richard Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 woah that loop looks tight, can't wait to see how this ride performs.
DATman Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 And people complained about the Patriots size... It's small, but SHOULD be intense. I mean, there is the offchance that it goes really slow, and there is the offchance that the Patriot is fast/intense.
Guy T. Koepp Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 ^So what your saying is that "Patriot" could be good, or could be bad. And that has to do with "Black Mamba" how? Guy "Riddle me that DATman?" Koepp
roeterich Posted December 15, 2005 Author Posted December 15, 2005 New photos from today are here It seems as if the loop is finished and there are already new track segments that continue the track after the loop. And the walls that are built around the lifthill get higher and higher... maybe it will be completely enclosed?
redunzelizer Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 roeterich, not your fault, but they rearanged the threads so tho old link is obsolete. Here's the new one: http://tinyurl.com/77hmo
DATman Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 ^^^^What I meant was that everyone complained about how short Patriot is, and yet there is a shorter one and everyone is raving about it. Seems kinda wacky to me, that's all.
BiCoastal Kid Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 ^Yes, but the elements on this ride are obviously tighter. Patriot isn't just short, it's spread out, which means wider radii and less forces. Not to say it will be a bad ride, just not as good as it could have been, even with the same layout. If it were just tightened up a bit...
DATman Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 ^ture, but I guess that's only cause CF is looking for a little more faminly oriented extreme rides.
roeterich Posted December 17, 2005 Author Posted December 17, 2005 New photos Wow many more track segments. This one curve looks TIGHT! Mybe we even get some airtime there... Sebastian"Now off to the stadium"Rötten
chavslayer Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 I wonder how fast it will take that real tight turn bit.
MattJackson Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 ^ Hopefully not too fast! It looks like it would hurt if taken too fast!
rollerdude Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Are you guys talking about that one turn that looks somewhat like a corkscrewhop? That one does look kind of painful if taken too fast. This is turning out to be a crazy looking coaster.
Real Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 I will laugh when this thing is quick, but not old school fast. so much comparison to rides that arent even close to being compared. That Loop is very BTR-ish as well. A very good thing.
