coastermoosh Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 A vertical cable lift for a long train has already been done. Deja Vu, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aLFREd_25 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 A vertical cable lift for a long train has already been done. Deja Vu, anyone? Deja Vu releases the train off the lift vertical though. It would be a different experience rather than pulling a 9-10 car train up and over. Unless the crown of the vertical lift was pretty spaced out.

Diamondback'09 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 It seems that if this coaster was going to have a cable lift on vertical track, the trough holding the cable would be a little bit more reinforced. Farhrenheit uses a chain lift if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie200330 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 The top pic shows what I would assume to be the bottom of the lift. It appears to be bent a roughly a 45 degree angle. it contains what one would assume to be a section to hook a ladder/staircase to. The middle pic shows what I presume to be the top of the lift, also containing those same ladder/staircase thingys. I highly doubt that would be associated with a vertical lift. The bottom pic which shows Farenheit's lift, that as stated earlier contains the spiral staircase to the inside. I just don't see this being a vertical lift.

Richard Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 It appears to be bent a roughly a 45 degree angle Adjust your glasses mate. You have to remember what is suggested is, A Giga Coaster with a vertical lift and not a beyond vertical drop coaster. So any "Fahrenheit doesn't have this" arguments are invalid, because this is a completely different coaster type, it even has different track ffs.

Loefet Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Does anyone have a head on picture of the piece that connects to the lift, then we could get a definitive angle of the lift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I tried to enlarge one of the photos from the Eiffel Tower. From this angle it doesn't look like 90°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 ^Yeah--looks like they're laying pretty much flat at zero degrees to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Clear Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I think you're wrong, Chuck. I got out my protractor and put it up to the screen and it was obviously at least .7 degrees, so I think this is definitely going to be a Millennium Force clone.

Capitalize Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 First we had people coming up with reasons why this was going to be a launch coaster even though it didn't look like it. Now we have people coming up with reasons why it could have a vertical lift... What random inane debate are we going to have next??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawharp1992 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 We shall now discuss why it's going to have a gravy splashdown. My reason, I love gravy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Ok stop now. Quoted as a gentle reminder. No more gravy-vodka-BBQ sauce (or any other kind of substance) splashdown jokes! This joke has been beaten, shot, poisoned, throttled, garotted, kicked, and stabbed to death earlier in this thread. Let's not tie its moldering corpse to the bumper of a car and drag it around again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loefet Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I tried to enlarge one of the photos from the Eiffel Tower. Thanks for that, looks more like about 60° then 90° to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStitch626 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 If this lift is not vertical, I do say maybe the side where the stairs are could be an elevator style evacuation platform like on MF could this be a possibility? I have not seen a single person even bring this idea up yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpmitchell Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I am not all concerned about the new coaster at the moment, I'll just wait till August when they announce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 ^A wise attitude, as excess speculation can cause the human brain to implode, which could open a vortex leading to back to the day that all these feverish speculations began. The resulting time loop would keep taking us back to the beginning, meaning that the ride will never be built and the speculations will go on forever. Or I could be totally wrong.

Thanks for that, looks more like about 60° then 90° to me I agree, possibly even less than 60. Definitely not vertical, as the teaser video has now confirmed.
