4rturo Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 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. They sure had some reliability issues with flyers, but B&M is still one of the most reliable companies in the industry, that's why they are more conservative with their designs, so I think they will do great!

Jhcbiinoc Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 These are some great photos; of all the projects in the works for 2011 I am most excited about this one. With X2 being my favorite coaster and B&M being my favorite manufacturer I can hardly wait to see what B&M does with the 4D Concept. I hope it is as successful as I anticipate it will be (I imagine they have been working on it for years) and I would love to see a version with the seat rotation here in the US eventually. I ran across this video (it is subtitled Italian, but is in English) there isn't too much more information than has already been known for a while, but he does mention a 90 degree banked turn and more interestingly to me, some "technical tricks that will take your breath away" which piqued my interest. I originally found the video on newsparcs.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4rturo Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I was surprised to learn it will only have two inversions. I'm not complaining, I trust B&M too much to do that Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pj.frankophone Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I hope a UK park builds one of these in the next few years, Alton Towers in 2014 maybe. Looks amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiaMuse Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I hope a UK park builds one of these in the next few years, Alton Towers in 2014 maybe. Looks amazing! I thought there were rumours that Thorpe Park would get the first version with the rotating seats (assuming all goes to plan with this one)?

I thought there were rumours that Thorpe Park would get the first version with the rotating seats (assuming all goes to plan with this one)? That would be amazing. Seeing the concept art for X-Raptor reminded me of the first few images Alton Towers released for Th13teen a year or so ago. Though it looks like X-Raptor is ten times the coaster Th13teen is and it's not even finished yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteocrepaldi Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 In the past few days there has been a big fight going on inside the italian forums because someone started to talk about a possible third inversion. The park has always been talking about two inversions so there were people saying that the third inversions was actually there already and people that were arguing that it was just a fake. So here's the THIRD inversion in all its glory!!! I'm not sure who should get the credit for this but it was posted on http://www.theparks.it .

jarmor Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 So far, 2 inline rolls and a dive loop/camel back? I say one more is brewing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thespianthrillrider7 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I almost wish they would have done this with Tennessee Tornado. "Yeah guys..the rest of the coaster is over here behind this mountain!" I want to see what the trains will look like in person. Would they have the new train design on display at IAAPA?

I guess all that is left here is to see how the top of the lift and the first zero-g connect up. Although the ride is pretty short at 2624ft long it seems theres still room for something other than a plain swooping drop between the two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Same inversion, different angle. These has been released by Gardaland itself. I still can't believe that this is all happening less than 100 miles from where I live. Awesome!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Looks like it's coming along great! I think it's cool when parks add surprises. Like the loop, tunnel, lasers, and sharks for i305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
