ArizonaGuy Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 That looks freaking fun!!! Hopefully parks will pick this up for sure!
The Yeti Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I'd say it looks like we have a solid coaster right there! Thanks to S&S, the future is looking very bright! Â -And thanks TPR. I don't think I could see this anywhere else!
Vonni Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Honestly, a smaller Park could really benefit from the Prototype layout! It would not be very expensive, and Capacity wouldn't be a huge issue at a smaller Park! I could see this layout being perfect for HW, or DL, or even SFA. It would provide quite a thrill for Parks like that!
azza29 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Wow! I can't wait to see one of these make its way to a park. Great to see even more innovation from S&S!
kailisun98 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Now if X2 would be changed into this and renamed X3, my life would be complete.
XII Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 This looks awesome! And this is just a prototype. This with a complete layout would be 100 different kinds of awesome. I really hope that this gets picked up and quickly!
jray21 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 That is awesome! I am beyond incredibly jealous! Really cool looking ride, I really hope a bunch of parks pick it up.
Vonni Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 We may have found SFMM 20th Coaster! It will also be the longest, tallest, and fastest of its kind, and SFMM will hold the record for most 4th Dimension Roller Coasters in a single Park lol! Although, as silly as that sounds, I would still be happy.
peetnik Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Wow! That looks so awesome! I hope CGA or SFDS pick it up. My life would be complete if I got to ride it.
Tanthus Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 OK... were those restraints wrapped in Duct Tape? Because if they are the coolness factor of that prototype just went up by a factor of 10!
robbalvey Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 OK... were those restraints wrapped in Duct Tape? Because if they are the coolness factor of that prototype just went up by a factor of 10! They were, actually! lol
Jew Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 This is so cool! I'm glad S&S is building a prototype and not just going "it looks good on a computer...lets build it!" Hope this concept can come to life!
rcdude Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I know this is just a prototype, but it looks better than about 90% of the rides out there now. I also love the fact that the coaster will be able to give anything from family to extreme without much adjustment. If the attraction can be priced at a point parks will buy at, this could become the next big thing in thrill rides. Hoping some parks in need of a thrill ride but with limited space give strong consideration to one of these.
bonsaiisuperstar Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 The coolest thing I have ever seen on the TPR site. Very nifty looking prototype. I want a ride on it! And an original BAT head. Those are uber rare. And, it bears repeating, Kid Tums has the best childhood ever.
mrlego611 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Imagine if Intamin or B&M ask you to come over to their factory.....
gerstlaueringvar Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 So RMC sells I-Box track? I want a piece please  Amazing TR! Really hope some parks would see it and make the right devotion between a B&M wing rider and this.
Geauga Dog Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 That was ultra cool, Robb! Would you consider that a credit? Â The prototype alone could be S&S's answer to the Zamperla Disk'O Coasters. All they would need is a Vekoma Boomerang style lift to pull the car up and release it. I look forward to seeing a full-scale ride built in the near future. Â Nice to see they still have a lot of Arrow parts. Even though they have the Free Fly and new Free Fly X I'd still like to see them bring back the suspended coaster.
cfc Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Hey look what book is sitting on the table in the lobby of S&S! We know that guy! Â And I roomed with that guy in Japan! Â How many factory tours end with a ride on a prototype? Very cool, indeed.
rcjp Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Very nice indeed. The restraints seem pretty comfortable and the "controlled sinning" feature is very cool.
goatdan Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 So I'm curious - did this seem to be all good for your legs? In the video and the pics, it seems like the random changes in motion would make your legs slam into the seat in the same fashion that X2 (and I assume, the other 4D coasters) do. Â It looks surprisingly cool, I just hope that it is more comfortable so they can sell a lot more of these then they did with the 4D coasters.
robbalvey Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 ^ Because the spinning motion isn't as "jerky", it didn't seem to have any affect on your legs. I mean, watch the video and you can see how smooth it is on the body.
