coasterfreak96 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Interesting find on the B&M Wikipedia page, the Gardaland 2015 Coaster is supposedly going to be called 'Point of No Return' or so it states on the list of coasters! Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damylv Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 mmm imho that name is not the best.... Somewhat too long and complicated for italian guests xD I think it will be something shorter. Point of no return should be coaster motto and not the final name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damylv Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 According to what we see on the building area, these are plinths location And so... this is a fan made layout What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damylv Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 ^Vertical construction? They started from lower part of the drop + part in the long basement that will be covered everything is not yet visible from the webcam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 ^ Strange place to start vertical construction from. Is there any pictures of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damylv Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I think it make sense because they started from what will be "indoor" I got a couple of pictures but i'm not sure if I can link them. Gardaland forbidden to major facebook pages and fan websites to publish non-authorized pictures about building area :/ however i will keep you updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinning man Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Looking at the progress via webcam, it appears footers are near enough nearly done. Is there any information in regards to the height and length yet? It will be interesting to have a idea how the final structure will come out.

StealthFan Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I really don't like the white track, white supports combination! Even just a slight change of colour to the supports would have been nice just to break it up a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any information in regards to the height and length yet? It will be interesting to have a idea how the final structure will come out. Yes footers are ready. We don't have any official features about the layout Height? I know Gardaland has an overall limitation of 45 meters. However in that area they are taking advantage of a natural difference in level so drop could be around 45-50 meters Lenght? It's hard to say, but usually a piece of B&M coaster is about 10meters long and counting how many they are, final lenght should be something like 500-550 meters I really don't like the white track, white supports combination! Even just a slight change of colour to the supports would have been nice just to break it up a little. As you can see in all advertising around this coaster, planned main colours of the coaster and new themed area were orange and black. Gardaland planned also to repaint in orange and black also Space Vertigo and Flying Island wich are near there local authorities approved coaster building because it observe max height mentioned up here but rejected black and orange repainting of the whole area due to environmental impact of multiple black structures on Garda lake scenery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damylv Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Today they released a new video on www.gardaland2015.it check it out!! I think most of figures they say are about dive machine specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcjp Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I think they mentioned 30 m/s which would be 67 mph. Interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damylv Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I think they mentioned 30 m/s which would be 67 mph. Interesting Yes ^^ There are also other mentions in the video, final probe altitude is 540 meters. I think this could be the lenght of the coaster Otherwise, 54 could be main drop height... but i think this is less possible. However, if you watch close to the oldman's monitor in the video there are two large numbers during the whole video: 109 - this is more or less 30m/s in Km/h 54 - as above, could be drop height Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 ^If it is 54 m, then not bad. I think these rides are all about the first drops so having a big one does matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaffstar99 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Caused by the new video on the hompage, In german and italian forums is said that: 30 m/s = 108 km/h (67,11mp/h) (could be the highest speed) 430 Meter = 430/10 = 43 Metres (141 feet) (could be the hight of the first drop with the tunnel) 540 Meter = 540 Meter (1771 feet)(maybe the lenght of the track?)

RCT3Bross Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 ^ Sounds the most realistic to me. I mean reversed (54 meters high and 430 meters long) makes no sense to me personally. I do find it odd, I mean they put a big marking through Ginger in the video. I mean they discussed a name for the spiral and emphasized that much. Well I don't think it might be the name of the ride I think there is a meaning behind it. I don't know what but it screams as if it has a meaning.

rcjp Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Pictures from other angles. Source. By the way, I did some simple calculations and if the drop really is 43 m tall the top speed should only be 29m/s. Maybe that's what they mean with the 30 m/s but even so those 29 would be true without any sort of drag which we know doesn't happen. So I wonder if those numbers are accurate.

RyanTPM Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 The color doesn't look too bad in those pictures, still don't like white track and supports though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideofSteel Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I might be the only one, but I LOVE coasters that are completely white. Looking great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
