The_Mad_Hatter Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Yum! The layout is way more complex than I expected. I'm hoping we'll see Busch pick it up and build one or two in the states pretty soon.

OFFice357 Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 From what it looks like, it doesn't look like it's possible to be modified dive machine trains. If you look closely at the catwalks on the lift hill they seem to be lowered slightly below the spine of the track. If they were using dive machine cars the catwalks would need to be slightly higher just in case a evacuation is needed. Just saying
matteocrepaldi Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 I really like this one! And you can easily see how big the train will be.
sherman454 Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Not as big as i thought, looking at that support at the bottom right.
Trevor Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 And you can easily see how big the train will be. The distance between the supports is the length of the train plus the safety area. The trains will be very similar to Furius Baco.
Lamoure Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 oh i hope so they will freely rotate and don't punish now THEY DONT ROTATE You don't know!!

A.J. Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Nice pics! This inversion support looks like a first for B&M? Looks like it - it also looks mighty scary - not much room between the outside riders and the supports. Hopefully they've taken the reach envelope into consideration (they probably have).

Hopefully they've taken the reach envelope into consideration (they probably have). I'm sure there is plenty room and guessing the angle of the pic doesn't really show it. I'm just curious as to why they are using this kind of support for this inversion.

crazywolf88 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 ^^ The bar in the middle is probably a head chopper effect and it's squared of for room for the train

KDCOASTERFAN Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 I really hope this project is a success so the US will get one...that being said, I am sure B&M does extensive product and market research before investing in new rollercoaster models, so I doubt this will be a flop! Looks like a win-win for Gardaland and B&M!!! True but look at the problems that B&M have had with their flyers? granted nothing as major as vekoma has had but still not as reliable as an invert or floorless either. Having said that B&M have been in the business for 20 years now & have learned more than enough about their product research to provide a reliable high quality ride.
jarmor Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 So we know this will have atleast 2 inversions. I really wonder if its gonna be more of a fliding coaster or multi-looper...
matteocrepaldi Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 From what the park has released earlier these will be the only two inversion that this ride will have. There are some really awesome photos from Theparks.it at this link: http://www.theparks.it/gardaland-p1/notizie/2010/11/x-raptor-continua-a-crescere-n869/. Here's one to give you an idea:
jjune4991 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 In the thirteenth photo, it looks like there is something on the track. Does it look like something that shows the reach of the train, so they know if they have enough room on the side?
sherman454 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 ^ yes but it is also used to check for problems with the track (cant think of the word )
