Paradox Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 The wiggle doesn't seem as bad as on ROS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linearinduction Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 ^The small bunny hop at 0:42 seconds in the first video shakes a lot. I've never seen that much movement of steel coaster track on a coaster before. You've never seen Xcelerator or Storm Runner (Hershey), eh? It all depends on if the movement is harmonic or not. Lagoon added an additional column to Cannibal's Inverted Loop to dampen the harmonic movement seen last summer. I believe Xcelerator received a stabilizing column after it had been operating for a while as well. If there is a problem here, like seen on Lightning Run, they will also stablize the movement.

Rill'o'beily Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 This looks just incredibly fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 The first drop and first bunny hill look so intense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 ^I agree. The airtime hills look like they provide a good amount of airtime too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjollner Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Maybe it's different when you're actually on the ride, but the second half after the brakes looks painfully slow. In parts almost like it's not going to make the circuit. First half looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDG Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Remember this wobbly hill ? An additional support has now been installed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 That looks so funny for some reason. But hey whatever works right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Wow that's odd. I really looks like it's only there to stop the wiggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superbatboy Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Glad they added that support beam, it looked creepy the way the track was swaying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFOG1991 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I was wondering if this was going to happen! Glad they added it. Even if it was safe before, this should help the structure and smoothness long term (I'm just assuming here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry M Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 My guess is that it is to smooth guests and preserve the ride long term. I mean, if even RC enthusiasts are creeped out, think on the GP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjollner Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I chuckled at this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Great to see the park stay true to their words. This should help to reduce the metal fatigue of that part in the long run keeping it smooth, but I mis that wiggle already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelRush Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Great to see the park stay true to their words. This should help to reduce the metal fatigue of that part in the long run keeping it smooth, but I mis that wiggle already. I don't understand why they decided to minimize the spine size on a section with such stress... They should have foreseen that instead of sticking a weak-looking post up shortly after finding out about the problem! Wouldn't they find that in design phase?

coasterbill Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I agree that that strikes me as strange too but I'm no engineer so I'll stay out of this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Calling all Walibi Holland locals!!! Due to an urgent business trip I will travel down to Holland this coming Sunday (May 1st). Insted of travelling down on Sunday evening I decided to fly to Amsterdam early in the morning instead, and visit Walibi Holland that day. Anyone wants to meet up?

JordyC Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Lost Gravity has stalled during testing today. The cause of this is not known yet. Walibi expects that the coaster will be up and running again by tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthFan Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 It wouldn't surprise me if this was due to cold weather. Saw has stalled numerous times for dumb reasons so its nothing to worry about. I know how frustrated engineers can get waiting for the train to stop going back and forth to start the recovery though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjollner Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'd expect it to stall towards the end... But not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Well, let's hope it's back up and running again tomorrow! And in case anyone missed it, I will be at Walibi Holland by myself tomorrow so if any locals wants to meet up let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 If they had not gotten the ride back up and running again later in the day, would making it to the end of the launch track have counted as getting the credit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDG Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 That would be 1/10th of a credit. Did you hit the emergency brakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
