A.J. Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 So, I have a question for Morgan or Rocky Mountain Construction (if you're doing questions) - is it a coincidence that the seating and restraint systems between Goliath and Lightning Run look very similar to each other?
PVA62 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 ^I noticed the same thing. Thought it was interesting. Â ^^that coaster is massive, looks like a lot of fun!
rcjp Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Well that GCI sure looks good and holy crap it's massive!
Blue Fire Guy Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Bit late to the party but ahhhh, IAAPA, the theme park and coaster enthusiast's holiday! Easily the best part of the off-season for me, love seeing all the new hotness. As for that HUGE GCI coaster, looks like it'll be a very good woodie. And... I'm definitely keeping my eyes peeled for the waterslides, they always come up with some real crazy stuff in IAPPA and some miniature models I just want to buy and keep on display in my house! I'm so excited! THIS!!! Year after year, the water slide companies make my jaw drop with their increasingly bizarre, totally "WTF" designs, especially Wiegand-Maezler's new Slide Wheel! That thing looks seriously messed up (in the best way possible)! Edited November 19, 2013 by Blue Fire Guy
LoneRider92 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Hooray, IAAPA time! Makes an engineer happy with all of the technology advancements and new plans being unveiled.
FLIPDUDE Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 The excitement has got me reading through the old IAPPA updates. It's interesting to see which announcments panned out ("OMG you guys they seriously just announced they're going to put an Inversion on Hades!") And which ones we're yet to see anything from (Shuttle woodie, multi-car freefly extreme coaster) Â By the way, if anyone wants to geek out, I'm unofficialy announcing the current topic in the TPR chatroom to be "IAPPA geekout".
DanM64 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 All of the coaster trains look great. That GCI looks like an amazing coaster!!
Meteornotes Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 MORE IAAPA COVERAGE! SBC has a spinning coaster set up at IAAPA... CREDIT!!! Who can tell me what this Gerstlauer roller coaster model is? Junior Tagada anyone? You want funnel cake & cotton candy? You can find it at IAAPA!
Hercules Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Missing IAAPA this year because of a broken hand. Sucks..... I hope everyone that is there enjoys and I will see you all next year!!!
RCT3Bross Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Reading TPR Twitter and read the tallest coaster of the world, that will be build in Florida, will be announced at IAAPA soon. IAAPA is full of good stuff this year. Edited November 19, 2013 by RCT3Bross
FLIPDUDE Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 ^ A new tallest coaster? O__O Oh my god, can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!!!
RCT3Bross Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 More on Facebook now. 525 feet high? Man that's huge. 7000 feet long and Build by S&S Sansei. I thought we wouldn't pass the 500 feet mark this soon.
gisco Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Was that a Tagada with seat belts? What fun is that!
_koppen Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Can't wait to see more pictures of the Lightning Run car. Hopefully it has the chassi on, and not just the body, and then we can see if they are really are using the old track style or not.
rcjp Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Well I have to admit that I'm slightly disappointed that this is how the 500 ft mark will be surpassed: Don't get me wrong, I mean, I'm glad they're building this ride and it sure looks impressive but, you know, I was imagining a "normal coaster" breaking this record with a 500 ft tall tophat or a lift hill and 500 ft drop. Still very impressive, though.
PKI Jizzman Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 I love the new Lightning Run train! Everything looks incredible, and the news coming out of IAAPA is really exciting.
GrapesLie Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 IAAPA has just started and already a lot of amazing news! This is officially a good day!
djboss302 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Do we know what park the 500 footer we be built at? Anyways, that sounds exciting! Can't wait to here more!
ernierocker Posted November 19, 2013 Author Posted November 19, 2013 This update is worth just one photo! S&S/US Thrill Rides building the tallest roller coaster in the world in Florida. Location announced soon!
vacoaster09 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Could Universal or Fun Spot be behind this PoleR Coaster!
