gerstlaueringvar Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Im gonna support my spinning coaster theory with this:Â [attachment=0]snippet.PNG[/attachment] Â As you can see there are small supports for something that could potentially be brakes, such as intamin does them. However, mack never does brakes in that way Really, the only explanation i can find, is that there will be those things that even a spinning car to match with the station that spinning coasters usually have. It also looks like there are already regular brakes there, so that prevents the possibility of them being new kinds of brakes. No, Mack's lock-back mechanism is built into the car, the car connects to a circuit and spin back to the unloading/loading position itself.

Â Hmm... Well regardless i still find it most likely for this to be a spinner. (mostly because the layout seems illogical for something that isn't a spinner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 That station is tiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) ^It is, but it has enough block brakes to stack a few trains (depending on their size) if a train is still in the station. Ideally, the operation will always flow in a way that has a train leaving the station just as another is hitting the final brakes.

Nrthwnd Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 These 3 coasters have one thing in common:  The Matterhorn in DL Oblivion in Alton Towers Exelerator in Knott's  (To the best of my knowledge...)  They were all The First of Their Kind to be built and opened. Knott's also had the pleasure of having the first corkscrew to debut, too!  I feel like this is one of things. So the layout isn't breathtaking, but spinning the cars on such a larger scale than most spinners is worth the layout it's going to be on. (And they already tested it on Blue Fire in Europa, right?)  And the Mumbo Jumbo (an El Loco) in Flamingo Land has a tiny station of it's own, with a long long outdoor queue. So a small station for this one shouldn't be too big of a deal.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedimaster1227 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 ^This ride looks gorgeous! If it truly ends up being a spinning coaster, that initial drop will be particularly insane to experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 ^I think that drop will be rather insane anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 ^ You're certainly not wrong. Expedition GeForce's first drop is nuckin' futs and that only twists 90 degree. Going the full 180 is gonna be pants-browning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenbowl Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Team single car (non-spinning) trains here  You're describing exactly what I want, but with having the flat turn I really do think we're getting a new-age, high-intensity spinner... Spinner's kinda make me sick, a gimmick I'm not a huge fan of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster1000 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 No matter which kind of trains we'll have, I'm sure this will be a pretty great ride and maybe the "sleeper hit" of 2016. The quality and smoothness of Mack coasters is really amazing and, in my limited experience, blows B&M out of the water... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCT3Bross Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 So I had to draw in the missing parts: Red: Overbanked turn Orange: Zero G Roll Blue: Overbanked turn Dark red: Twisted airtime hill or (small chance) Corkscrew. Giving that we have at least 2 inversions in this ride. I have to say I'm Impressed by Walibi, never expected them to build something like this. Like the lay-out and can't wait to ride it.

StealthFan Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Thats a lot more compact than I was expecting. It reminds me a bit of Rage at Adventure Island in how its is laid out and how compact it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardyloo! Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It looks like a singe car coaster, just look at the switch track. Hopefully Walibi will work up their game, was there a few summers ago, and (for most of the time) there was nothing to write home 'bout, operation wise that is. Cause Goliath is still a top 10 coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Honestly, this is probably one of the strangest-looking coasters I've ever seen in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
