nannerdw Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 I'm in pain just looking at this crappy transition! I think this is a photoshopped pic, judging by the track's mysteriously-disappearing shadow and the change in colors, but this ride would be really evil if it existed. This looks like something Vekoma would do .
SLUSHIE Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 Reminds me of the pretzel thing on Magnum XL 200.

I think this is a photoshopped pic, judging by the track's mysteriously-disappearing shadow and the change in colors, [...] C'mon don't make a fool out of yourself. You just saw that pic on CS a few minutes ago (where i had posted it on some banking discussion), and BTW obviously got quite irritated by that thread (judging from your reply there). So here's the full link to ease your pain: http://drkssk2.fc2web.com/ikoma/rollsle/rollsle.html it's "Jet Roller" within Mt. Ikoma Amusement Park http://rcdb.com/pd453.htm
nannerdw Posted August 28, 2005 Author Posted August 28, 2005 Wow, so it is a real ride! Sorry for sounding incredibly stupid. I had a really lengthy post on CS, but then it was erased when I was kicked offline. I didn't feel like typing it again, so I just put a quick link to the page. BTW, I read through the CS topic and thought that link was just a joke picture. Nobody really said it was an actual ride. Now I really am impressed that anyone would actually make a transition like that. :shock: For being a real ride, IMO, it still looks very unbelievable.
KrakenKing Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 Um, wow... talk about feeling like you're going to get thrown out... I think Arrow coasters (Old) and Vekoma coasters (Old) have really bad transitions like that... where it banks on a straight away before the turn, and during the turn the banking stays the same until you come out of the turn... then it banks back to normal during a straight away...
pianojohn Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 As someone who actually rode that ride at Ikoma Skyland in Japan, I don't remember it being all that rough. It was like a mini Jumbo Jet, with decent speed and banking. I will have to look at my videos from that day to see if I took any on ride footage!
WillMontu Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 It looks like something out of Roller Coaster Tycoon (which unfortunately seemed to make it into RCT3).
