yay101 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Notice at the beginning of the video on the transfer track there seams to be stand up trains under tarps. I wonder how that ride will be... I didn't think it looked too badly actually. Even the OTSRs didn't look that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 So I guess the "Japanese TOGO's are better than foreign TOGO's" theory is still valid on this one? Pretty much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urzishra Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I hope more parks run some of the rides backwards. I know a lot of people are groaning at the trend lately to run "the rides backwards" but it seems pretty intriguing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber.Fiber Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Same layout as SkyRider at Canada's Wonderland - minus the double down after the second airtime hill. This layout is really solid, and rides fairly well as a standup. Someone mentioned that the helix looks a little rough, and they are correct, although, the sitting trains might improve the head banging. Anyways, lots of airtime in the front row of these coasters, and actually a pretty decent ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnastyGnoric7 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Odd to think this coaster has a layout very similar to Skyrider at Canada's Wonderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeFaller Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 This coaster looks terrifying! Robb, I guess the helix is really intense? Is it comparable to Titan's Helix? I'm happy you survived! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scbt Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Wow, that looks really good for looking like a ride that looks like its about to fall apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeFaller Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 That actually looks like a really cool and unique family coaster! It's very long and the idea of screaming and accelerating is bizarre but great at the same time. I guess that's something you only find in awesome Japan!

cfc Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 It looks like they built it with leftover parts from a number of different old rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquesB Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Looks like a fun coaster. Not sure I like all the stops. Seems like every time the coaster builds up some speed you are at a new section again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Wow, such a cool little coaster. I love how it just covers that section of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccharle2 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 It seems like a pretty decent ride. Nicely themed and kind of long. I will say that it does seem pretty stop-&-go, but I really like how it goes all around that portion of the park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrapesLie Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 That's really cool actually! If it had a small dark ride section it would be perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Looks like a fun coaster. Not sure I like all the stops. Seems like every time the coaster builds up some speed you are at a new section again. It probably helps them to be able to run a bunch of cars at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Interesting! I'm all for different coaster types/ideas. Japan, you're awesome! It's a long ride, too. Harsh brakes, lift, launches, and yeah...tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkscrewy Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Weird. It does not look like it just opened this month. Haha I was rather surprised to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCjunkie Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 So, does anyone know if the Vekoma version of this ride is powered by how loud you scream 'OW...OW...OUCH!'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yay101 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 ^ Gotta give you credit for that I can see something like that in America at a Legoland. I think it would be a perfect ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Ready for another weird Japanese coaster? How about the first ever "SCREAM POWERED ROLLER COASTER!" that is a STUPID AWESOME idea! love it! even if the volume of the scream doesn't really tie to how fast one goes, it's still a fantastic interactive idea to make the coaster more fun. not only the scream, and the mix of launch, chain lift, and tires, but the way it interacts with the suspended ride AND the boats? I'm absolutely loving this. I'm kinda scared to hope it caches on -- I mean. . can you IMAGINE the "Faart" coaster in Germany on the next TPR tour? (talk about a "bag o crap") Edited March 28, 2014 by bert425 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownStreak Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 How do they do the morning test run if the coaster only moves if you are screaming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voxelmatic Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 ^I'm sure there would be a way to manually launch the trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
