PKI Jizzman Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 It worked on my Internet Explorer yesterday....not on this Macbook Pro's Safari today! Looks like a nice little design. I'm sure it will be put up in a park sometime soon. Who knows where!
Geauga Dog Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I like the layout as well but they could swap out two corkscrews for something different. Surprised they haven't designed their own version of the Arrow bowtie element (like the last inversions on Marineland's Dragon Mountain) or something like B&M's Immelmans/Dive Loops.
matteocrepaldi Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 It looks very expensive. If it will ever be built it will probably be in a major park.
jarmor Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I think I would actually travel to ride that coaster if it were built! It has the best of everything in my opinion!
coast4airtime Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I don't think the capacity on the ride would be very good. Fahrenhite only has three cars to a train with the Norweign Loop along with Speed Monster. I wonder if they are reducing the intensity of the roll to make a longer train.
TXman308 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I think the reason Fahrenheit and Speed Monster have 3 car trains if simply because they have smaller layouts. I don't think it really has to do with the intensity of the Norwegian loop. Edit: Does anyonelse see the long straight track before the Norwegian loop? What is that for?
MG Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 This new design does indeed look fantastic. The 10 inversion coaster was somewhat boring since it was a bodge job upscale of an existing intamin 8 inversion design. Tussauds engineers worked with Intamin to add two extra inline twists. This is why Colossus is so vulnerable to stalling on that final turn, the ride wasn't supposed to be that long! EDIT: Furthermore, they reduced the height of the 8 inversion version to allow for planning restrictions at Thorpe Park.
braztaz Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Intamin's website didn't work when I typed it in, but if you google it and click the search result it'll work.
jason10 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Intamin's website didn't work when I typed it in, but if you google it and click the search result it'll work. It didn't even work for me that way. Still the odd website selling ice rinks and other stuff. On topic, the coaster looks like a vast improvement on the 10 inversion layout. I thought the corkscrews were the roughest bit so I worry about the amount of corkscrews. Other than that, I would love to see it built. I just hope it's a heck of a lot smoother than Colossus. Ouch...
Travelcoasters Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I think about my homepark Darien Lake will be enough room replace old the viper? Dl can afford this coaster replace viper in 2012 or 2013?
milndog Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 It looks really fun, but I reckon I'd personally rather have a few more airtime hills and a few less inversions! I realize they're specifically aiming to cram in a load of inversions, but still...
crazywolf88 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Since the website is part of this topic, intamin is using TPR generated footage for their giga coaster video! Here's the link: Intamin Giga Coaster
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 It looks really fun, but I reckon I'd personally rather have a few more airtime hills and a few less inversions! I realize they're specifically aiming to cram in a load of inversions, but still... I agree somewhat with you. I think all of the inversions are amazing, and that would be a really cool coaster to see, but airtime doesn't seem to be very plentiful on this ride. If it had a couple decent airtime hills, it would be better, but I still think this is an amazing looking ride! So, to answer the question at the beginning, yes, I think it'd be fun!
griffonj2022 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Looks like a ton of fun to me. But like one of the posts above said, I wish it had more airtime hills instead of all those corkscrews and zero-g rolls. Yes, I know it's supposed to be a 12 Inversion roller coaster, but I personally like over Still looks fun though
MeMeMe Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 The coaster does look epic. It should be built in the U.S. because some of these parks seriously need more record-breaking coasters. I agree that the corkscrews will be painful; maybe an extra loop, an extra barrel roll and a batwing or bowtie will help eliminate the intense corkscrews. Also, maybe more spread out, less compact; sure, it's fun with all the crossovers, but a longer, larger layout provides room for theming. Just my thoughts.
mightbeawannabe Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Off topic: Funny you should post that because I actually have the NL versions of both that (the lift hill version) and a launched version I downloaded a while back. I don't remember who made them or what site I got them from (probably either here or CS), but they are very well done. Someone actually recreated these? That would be very interesting to have a look at. On topic: The design looks amazingly better than their other inversion coasters, but, like someone said, it's probably already on its way to China. The chances of an American park buying this are slim to none. But it would be awesome!
Gigalyte Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Maybe when Viper at SFMM life span is up they will replace it with this looks like it will be an epic ride. Like already stated China will most likely install this before a US park would.
cal1br3tto Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 ^SFMM could definitely use a few more inversions. Interesting how people are all across the board regarding how much they like inversions. I'm definitely more of an "airtime person", but I love me a good cobra roll, vertical loop, or pretzel.

Thom25 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I'm with many of you - airtime over loops, which is why I love RoS/Bizzaro and MF. Right behind these for me is Maverick, which I think has a nice ballance. This ride does look epic and hope it gets built (maybe in a park like Cedar Point that loves to break records and is due for a coaster in 2012 imo).
A.J. Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I'm the exact opposite. I like intense positive Gs over airtime, which is why I like Schwarzkopf coasters so much.
tycoonrebel7188 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 how would that first left turn feel? Probably a lot like I-305 or any Mega-lite.
