dubaidave Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 I drove past again today and do think that the blue track is different to the gray. The blue track would fit the launched tower concept and the gray track the drifting coaster. It seems like the gray track is flat and the blue track is curvy. Can anyone tell if they are the same or different? Having looked at my photos again. What if there were in fact three coasters there? The blue tower coaster. The gray drifting, single track coaster and the also gray racing coaster? Just a thought but that would make sense having seen the artists impressions today Dubaidave
Pablo237 Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 That's awesome!! DAMMIT I WISH THIS WAS COMPLETE!!
Ledgy Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 ^It's Premier drifting coaster track. Here's Sky Rocket's launch:http://rcdb.com/8612.htm?p=28105 Very, very similar. Not as evenly spaced on Sky Rocket, but still very close. and the ties match better than they do with the Gerstlauer launch. Yeah, I guess you are right. That´s what I meant, I´m not an expert in these things. Which manufacturer produces the tracks in Germany? Cause of the word "MARKIERUNG" in this picture - that´s a german word (="tag"). OK, Gerstlauer is selfexplaining. I guess Intamin produces in the Netherlands, right? What´s about Premier Rides, where do they produce tracks?
quaffer Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 They shelved the project in Sep 2009. Opening date was supposed to be Feb 2010.
Pablo237 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) So has there been another date set for opening?? Edited January 28, 2011 by Pablo237
Giga Coaster2010 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Wow! In the left site of the pik are the Launch Coaster to recordbreaking of Kingda Ka. The coaster is 220m high, an speed??
weathers Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 OMGZ BLUE TRACK! I can't wait to see what develops
Pablo237 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Were these coaster tracks there before?? Or just now these coaster track got there??
dubaidave Posted February 3, 2011 Author Posted February 3, 2011 Just noticed that the supports here seem very similar to the ones from the new Eurofighter at Fuji Q Heres the supports in Dubai and heres the supports from Japan
Pablo237 Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) Just noticed that the supports here seem very similar to the ones from the new Eurofighter at Fuji Q Did these supports just show up?? Were they there before when you saw the other possible drifting coaster track?? How long have they been sitting there?? Edited February 3, 2011 by Pablo237
dubaidave Posted February 3, 2011 Author Posted February 3, 2011 They were always there. There was going to be a Eurofighter at F1X but I believe it was sold on to another park Dubaidave
Pablo237 Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 They were always there. There was going to be a Eurofighter at F1X but I believe it was sold on to another park Dubaidave lame, oh well. Wish something was going on there.
SharkTums Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Dave, are you suggesting that the FujiQ ride is perhaps the one that was formerly sitting at the FX Park? That's an interesting hypothesis. Feel like doing a driveby to see if the track and supports are still there?
Ledgy Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 ^I don´t know when Dave does take the pictures, but in relation to his posting date Jan. 22nd, and the different colour of the tracks, it´s impossible. The Supports at Fuji-Q seems to be grey, in Dubai white and the colour of the Track at Fuji-Q is black, in Dubai wasn´t any track in black mentioned. Repainting and installing the Track in that short amount of time, seems not possible to me. I guess Dave wanted to confirm with this suggestion, that there must be different coaster tracks in Dubai and there could be a Gerslauer Eurofighter, like discussed before in this Topic.
dubaidave Posted February 3, 2011 Author Posted February 3, 2011 ^^ No ^ Correct. I was there 2 days ago and the track was still there. I just wondered if it was part of a euro fighter or supports for something else. Dubaidave
CoasterLuv Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I remember No Coaster Con in 2005? when Jeff announced Italian Job. He had told us that the trains were going to drift around corners and then there were actuators in the seats that would rumble down the stairs section. When we ended up going to the park to ride it we ran into Jeff again, and he told us that the features weren't ready yet but they had planned getting them to work by years end. My theory is that Paramount loved the idea of the drifting/rumble but Cedar Fair did not and after the buyout, they removed those features all together. Hey I do remeber that! but i dont think it was just Cedar Fair that didn't want the cars drifting, I remeber reading during construction of the Italian Job that KI and Premiere decided not to employ the drift mechanisms for 'wear and tear/stress on the vehicles ' reasons, since the tight little family coaster was going to exert more forces in its speedy compact layout, than as in an original layout designed for the drifting coaster car.
Noxegon Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I'm was under the impression that the F1-X Eurofighter ended up at Belantis.
Pablo237 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 So this F1-X euro-fighter track is still there at Dubai??
larrygator Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 So this F1-X euro-fighter track is still there at Dubai?? Are you asking if the track magically disappeared in the two weeks since this thread started? Your questions are getting quite annoying and repetitive. Were these coaster tracks there before?? Or just now these coaster track got there?? Did these supports just show up?? Were they there before when you saw the other possible drifting coaster track?? How long have they been sitting there??
Ledgy Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I'm was under the impression that the F1-X Eurofighter ended up at Belantis. You're right, I totally forgot about that. So there can't be a track by Gerstlauer. It was nothing else than the Eurofighter mentioned by them. But there can still be Premiere Ride and Intamin Tracks...
Pablo237 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I am not allowed to ask question to know answers for my own personal thoughts?? So what if I repeat myself. I admit that I do repeat myself. But That really that doesn't need to be pointed out just because you find questions in unspoken text annoying. It's not like I am right their with you and I am constantly annoying you with questions.
dubaidave Posted March 29, 2011 Author Posted March 29, 2011 The coaster track is still there. Dubaidave
dubaidude Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Hey DubaiDave, what's the status of the rollercoaster tracks now?
dubaidave Posted August 28, 2011 Author Posted August 28, 2011 Hi. Just driven past and the tracks are still there. Just covered in more sand. Dubaidave
spinning man Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Nearly 1 year and no completion? Dear oh dear. I find it a pity that the track is being left to get damaged. Is there any news on this coaster by any chance, or has it been abandoned?
