Real Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Apparently Gravity Group is using a new technique in the design of their rides because many people have claimed that Hades is odddly smooth. Very smooth. They are doing something with the fabrication of the wood rails and steel running rails (well duh) and its supposed to prolong the life of these rides and make these MUCH larger wooden rides more stable and longer lasting. I must say the few POV stills Ive seen of Hades do stand out as "different" I just cant put my finger on what. Lets hope this is both true and works out. We could see a newer age of larger wooden coasters. I also find dragster to be a good rush. I love a good speed feeling. Height does nothing for me however. But I love going fast.

MagnumForce Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 If you were hunter you would understand the turkey call, it looks awesome and I am glad it will be something a bit different. THis dark ride will round out HW's rides far more then the new coaster will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tngdiablo Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Oh my sweet Jesus. I think....I'm going to cry. That looks incredible, not to mention work is going at a great pace. Can't wait to see this one finished. This should be shown to Six Flags Great Adventure, make them get a move on constructing the new Intamin wooden.

Stitch Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 The track looks so strange with out it's rails on , it kind of looks like a flume. Could you imagine putting plywood on the track instead of rails and riding it on a skate board :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
