Angry_Gumball Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Very interesting. The Ball coaster looks like Intamin's version of a 4D coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Quinte Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Indeed, the big difference is that the cars don't have a movement programmed. It seems as if Intamin is starting to make a lot of compact rides these days. First there's the half-pipe, now this... Anyhow this thing looks splendid!

Canobie Fan Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 yeah the cars look like the rock free.. Unlike the 4d coaster. http://www.coastersandmore.com/pic/eas05/ballcoaster6s.jpg lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Wow, there were some very interesting articles, renderings and pictures on that site!!! Elissa "damn, I really want to find a way to go to Fort Fun!!!" Alvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterbabe Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I thought it looked very much like 4d coasters too. That was the first thing that came to mind............... and Oh my... I'll get on X because it's not NOT free spinning... This, I just don't know if I'd be able to do it. I'd want to. But spinning is my worst enemy. I'll be interested to see how this coaster turns out.

kenshinmac Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I gotta admit that it looked weird to start with but this looks like it could be an absolute blast... I mean it would just be a different direction of motion to that ride that hershey was getting this year... Oh what was it called like rapid fall machine or something. This one looks like a great small park ride... (Oh no... Watch Elitches will get the smallest one like next year instead of something more unique...)

DerekRx Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Looks like a pretty sweet little idea. I doubt these things will have the "spark" that X does. Wish I could find a way out there to ride it. Hopefully it won't take long for a U.S. park to get one of these. Maybe SFGAd or CP will get them at discount after the problems with the rocket coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ride6 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Looks like a happy medium somewhere between X and the Screaming Squirril concept. I'm all for it, lets see a couple of those in the 'States. Michigans Adventure or Worlds of Fun would make good canidates for one... Who knows, maybe this will lead to one of my dream coasters, the leveler... A ride that keeps the riders somewhat (not competely) level while transversing inversions and other suck nuttyness... It would feel so strange that it would be awasome. Anyway tis' a cool concept that will hopefull take off like the impulse. ride6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Randomness Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Very odd though... Arn't those the same as the Interactive Rides Frequent Fallers? If so, that's why they look familiar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazykral10 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 If the Ball coaster cars spin freely then I'm through cuz I had designed a coaster like that, but oh well back to the drawing board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingScooter Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 That thing looks cool. I could see that at the IX Center Amusement Park in ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
