FreeFaller Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 This ride looks absolutely insane! How many G's did it have? 5-6? Looks so fast and so crazy!
Mechanic Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 I've got to admit, plane-on-a-stick looks a bit beyond my threshold. Were they running an extra-crazy program just for TPR, or is that how it always runs?
DoinItForTheFame Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 I do not think I could ever ride that. I got motion sickness just watching it.
ArizonaGuy Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Holy mother of crackwhores! I got nauseous just watching the first 45 seconds of that video.
AJMouse Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 The Turbo bit was absolutely intense, but worth it. So awesome! And I loved how it didn't begin slow, but just starts you off with some crazy inversions, right from the station. Big WTF moment. Waiting in line, below that plane on a stick was actually more scary I think.
Geauga Dog Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 I always wondered what those Technical Park Flying Fury rides looked like in action - thanks for positng. Us too-easy-getting-queasy Americans couldn't handle it.
rctneil Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 I've got to admit, plane-on-a-stick looks a bit beyond my threshold. Were they running an extra-crazy program just for TPR, or is that how it always runs? Nope it always runs like that. The cycles are identical and include a bit of the twistiness and then go into Turbo mode for a time. You have to choose whether you would like a forwards or backwards ride cycle though.
AJMouse Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 ^ and you choose FORWARDS. And then your planemates choose backwards. And then you're screwed.
Barge84 Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Insane ride, but so glad that I made myself do it. The turbo portion of the ride is unlike anything else I've ever experienced. Our group tried the forward and backward programs, and the forward was much better, in our opinion.
ozziboy Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Certainly the most intense experience and the most G's of anything I've ever ridden in my lifetime, like your face being stretched onto your skull! I'm so glad Robb kicked off his Daily videos with this. This ride is even incredible just to watch from the ground, because it moves so fast for such a gigantic machine - especially in its turbo cycle.
moneygrabber Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Realistically, what are the chances that one of these can be built in the US?
boweryboy Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 No thanks. The video alone was making me ill.
rcdude Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Yeah, that looks like one of the most insane rides ever built. I would like to ride it once just to experience the ride, but I doubt I would want a re-ride after that.
robbalvey Posted September 2, 2014 Author Posted September 2, 2014 Here's today's TPR Daily September video: Tornado from Sarkanniemi! An awesome Intamin invert! POST YOUR COMMENTS!!!
moneygrabber Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 I love that heart line through the rock. Very very cool
Nrthwnd Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Great coaster. With neon orange OR yellow trains.
GCI Wooden Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Looks fun! The heartlines look wonderful, and I love a coaster that goes through a loop . If only it was in America...
Nickstroberg Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 FINALLY! I've wanted, no, NEEDED a good pov of this coaster for SOOO long! All I could find before this was CoasterfArce....God I want to get on one of these non-launched Intamin inverts, that heart line through the station looks BOSS.
GamingPro941 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Looks fun! The heartlines look wonderful, and I love a coaster that goes through a loop . If only it was in America... I think there's already one called Volcano...
ozziboy Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 This was a really fun smooth ride, which had a nice scenic view as well. But I find the single word that pops into my mind when I think back about riding it is "Fluoro"!
805Andrew Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Vertigo: That is one crazy, f@¢%ed up Plane on a Stick. That would be a great fit for smaller parks like Knoebels, Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, or even Tibidabo (which just has the uber slow snoozefest Plane on a Stick in Taxi mode. Tornado: That Intamin invert looks like a lot of fun. Why weren't more Intamin inverts built? I wish I had a magic wand to turn every SLC into an Intamin invert.
moneygrabber Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 I wonder if the demand for Intamin inverts are low or if Intamin just didn't really enjoy building inverts so much as wanting constantly push the envelope. (I pray for a U.S. Mega-Lite)
robbalvey Posted September 3, 2014 Author Posted September 3, 2014 I wish I had a magic wand to turn every SLC into an Intamin invert. You mean like this one?
gerstlaueringvar Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 ^isn't it just a normal massager? Tornado looks great, is the positive G force higher than those of old school B&M Inverts? The train looks very long compared to the size of the elements.
