thrillrideseeker Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 WOW! That coaster really flies through a lot of those elements! It looks as though it may be... dare I say... better than Maverick!! ~Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 i hope this one doesn't have any speed/g force issues with those zero g rolls like Maverick That roll you see it take in the vid goes mighty fast! looks awesome though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Italy Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 What the hell built this ride? Amazing i'm really shock about this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmicha Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Wow, the speed at which this thing takes some of its elements, especially the direction change after the first air hill and the first inversion, is ridiculous. This will definitely be one intense coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeparkman25 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 ^Super weak! It's not like I am making it out there anytime before that time though haha. One question though, and I just cruised this topic looking for the answer and came up empty. Like Blue Fire, will this ride feature only lap bars or will it be similar to Maverick with the OTSR's. I vaguely feel like its OTSR's but I am not certain, whats up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 ^ Looking back 3 pages i noticed this pictures which will probably answer your question.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vid_w Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I love how fast it goes through the corkscrew! Anyone have any more vids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteocrepaldi Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 One more video; this is better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vid_w Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Rollback is still a possibility, right? Even with LSMs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPDave Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Yeah, the method of propulsion shouldn't matter, only the fact that if the train doesn't have enough energy imparted to it, it won't make it over the first element. At least that's my understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattC Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Rollback is still a possibility, right?Even with LSMs? It already has rolled back, someone posted a video on here a couple of pages back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 It has a dynamic controll over the speed of the train which means if the speed isn't enough on the first part of the launch it keeps speeding up till it reaches the right speed in the second part of the launch. I'm not expecting to see any roll backs outside test launches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 So the launch system adjusts itself everytime until it successfully makes it over the top hat if it valleys? That's a pretty good launch system and sounds reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPDave Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 ^ I'm pretty sure the Intamin accelerators adjust the launch speed based on wind speed etc. so it's no breakthrough. ^^ Yeah, but if the launch fails for some reason the ride will still roll back.

Vid_w Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I don't think cable launches are as adjustable as LSMs... Also, like Matteo said, the launch consists of two parts, so, if the launch is not fast enough in the first part, it keeps speeding up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vid_w Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Video of the first test with people on board! I envy tham... Omg, there even seems to be a short pop of air on the dip into the brakes! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattnz Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 That was cool - I love the sound of the LSMs, launching you right out of the station. This ride is looking good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
