I agree, I wouldn't doubt B&M's ability for a second. Don't doubt the engineers - believe me, I have - and what came afterward was not a pleasant experience...

 

Also, I had no idea that Insane Speed was a mirror image of Batman The Dark Knight until now. Thanks Jake!

The drop looks...odd. I wonder if it adds anything to the ride.

 

Something we call "airtime". Not sure if it's important, though...

 

Of course it going to add something! Hey guys, try to think different, this drop is not misshapen, or a result from a poorly NL trackwork.. It's just something new you'll have to be accustomed visually.

The track on Nitro looks pretty much completed. I must say I didn't know the indoor coaster would feature inversions, nice surprise!

Seems to be similar to Flight of Fear. Hopefully we see more Premier in the states soon, as they're quickly becoming my 2nd favorite ride company (behind Intamin of course ).

Progress looks to be going well on Nitro. The station equipment is being installed and final inspection underway. I would expect testing to start very shortly. The park announced via Facebook and Twitter they hope to have it up and running by the end of the month.

Here's a stupid question - considering that the only other B&M coasters installed in 2013 were Wing Coasters, could we possibly see a new-design floorless train on Nitro, like the inverted one debuting on Banshee?

Posted

I was thinking about that earlier myself, I don't see why B&M wouldn't use that restrain on everything from now on, sit downs, floorless, flying, inverted, dive machines. I'm not sure about stand ups but I'm also not sure why anyone would build a stand up anymore either.

Those vests on a stand-up coaster would be a HUGE improvement over what is already on those trains. May help sell a few more models if parks knew the rides no longer beat your ears senselessly.

Looks like Nitro has begin testing recently. To answer the poster who wondered about restraints, it uses the original style restraints. I guess the somewhat surprising find is that it's a 6 car train - only the 4th after Vortex (Carowinds), Daemonen (Tivoli), and the Batman clone in Kuwait. (Excluding the dive machines)

^Well that's a bit surprising. I thought this would be more like a 7 car train. Anyway, nice to see some action. I can't wait to get a POV!
