DBru Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Does 45 degrees sound a little...gradual...to anyone else?
the ghost Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 ^ I kinda feel the same way... not very steep.
Tanks4me05 Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 ^ & ^^: If it's a curving drop, (since they scaled back the project to a ten inversion coaster, my guess is that they are doing a near clone of Colossus based on the stats, remember we don't have the details of the new layout) 45 degrees is perfectly fine. If it's a straight drop, 45 degrees still really isn't that bad. I mean, it's not anything like Takabisha, but it's not supposed to be. It's not necessarily the steepness of the drop that matters, it's how quick it transitions to its maximum grade that matters. If anything, some nice floater air will likely be delivered there.
chickenbowl Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Green Lantern's (SFGAdv) drop is 45*. But yeah, that sounds accurate to me if it's a curving drop. I'd rather see a drop similar to the 12-inversion one proposed on Intamin's website that is a Megalite-style drop.
