gerstlaueringvar Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Is it just me overthinking or there's actually not much leg room? Also the front panel of every car is at the height of a rider's knee, shorter riders jumping off the seat will be more likely to hurt themselves.

RyanTPM Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 ^You're not overthinking, it really doesn't look like there is much. Guess we can't really tell until people have ridden or we get a shot of the train itself, but it doesn't look like there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roff Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Maybe it's just the perspective though.. at least the second row appears to have fine leg room: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Yeah, I think it's just perspective. If you look at the rows furthest back in the first picture, you can see that there's a lot more leg room than it looks like when you look at the front rows.

Winjar Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Yes, it's just perspective. In the following picture you can see that every second seat is shifted to the outside.

coasterfreak101 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 ^Interesting. It looks like the seats aren't tiered vertically, so this was Intamin's way of addressing that a bit for riders in the second row of each car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dar Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Taron was testing today apparently, but not until late in the day meaning any videos taken from outside the park are banned from the normal forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkyle Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Maverick has stagered seating like that as well, the second row of a car sits a few inches higher then the first and shifted away from the center more then the front row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 ^Yes those are the typical Intamin's rocket train cars. This is something new I quite like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthFan Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Why has no one yet drawn a face on the water dummies? I thought that sort of thing was compulsory by parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry M Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Am I the only person who thinks it would be annoying to be on the front row on that thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 ^It might slightly block the view, but i don't think it'll bother anyone. It's an incredible looking train, very impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCT3Bross Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 ^^ Well just read the article on Magazine.Phantasialand.de on the coaster and the train. It seems this is an adjust hight design first design was no where near the park's standard, wrong color, wrong design chooses and this was made with even the smallest of visitor in mind. The article brought some small things to light, Raik is designed to appeal to the smallest visitor to the teenagers to the grown ups. They also promise it will go faster then you think with near 90 degree turns and near misses. Also the wheels on the return hill aren't there for show they are there just so the ride will operate when temperatures go below 0 degree celsius. Also a coaster like Raik has been in the planning for some time the park just didn't know where to put it, Klugheim gave them a place to put one in.

Dar Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 A short video of some full circuit testing has appeared on YouTube. Not sure how long it's going to stay up, Phantasialand seem intent on having no trace of testing online. Seems to hold on to quite a bit of speed as it goes round!

It looks a lot slower than I thought. Hopefully they'll speed it up at a later stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themelander Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Agree with you, it seems like it is a bit Slow but for now there only testing I guess. Hopefully the launch will het harder tegen it's opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
