Combining Two Ride Concepts


Recommended Posts

If you could combine two different coaster styles/concepts, which would they be?

 

For example, somebody on here suggested something I thought was pretty cool. They combined the S&S Free Fly with a flying coaster, so that the gondolas on the Free Fly would be replaced with flying seats. I think it would be a pretty awesome ride experience.

I always thought it would be cool, since the standup coasters and arrow suspended coasters have died away, to combine those two rides together. A swinging standup coaster. Also a spinning inverted coaster would be kinda cool, maybe like the trains from the invertigo coasters that sit back to back but can spin too.

I know that Disney has now patented something like this but I have always thought that combing a teacup and a rapids ride boat, allowing the boat to spin based upon turning a wheel in the center, would add a great interactivity to rapids rides.

Replace the inverted coaster trains by flying trains on Batman clones. Imagin the forces, it would be awesome !

 

Dude, I think you would end up breaking your neck... Seriously though, things like launched flying coasters would be a hard thing to do when considering rider safety. But then again... it would be a new category of credit. A DEATH CREDIT!

 

I would like to see a "Strata-Hyper" if you will. Something over 400 ft tall that still does something with its insane height and speed.

Not a coaster, but I've always thought a river rapids dark ride would be fun.

It is, they have Mystery River at Movie Park Germany. One of the better attractions at the park, IMO:

And I guess there's also Jurassic Park at Universal Singapore. I think they should theme up rapids rides more often, I know it'd get me to ride them.

Mystery River at Movie Park Germany. INSANE rapids and dark ride mix. The river flows faster than you can believe and 3/4s of the ride is indoors.

I'd love to see a winged flying coaster regardless of force. I think it would be awesome and it would feel like flying free. Look: [attachment=0]wfc.jpg[/attachment]

 

Something like that would require one hefty support job, even for the most basic maneuvers.

Roller coaster+Zippers

 

Oh wait...Alan already did it.

Huh?... When did they combine a coaster/zipper ready?... I know that interactive rides (the company that built the stratosphere flat rides) had concept art on their site, but don't think they actually built 1 of these yet.

 

Here's the link to their page:

^I think they're referring to when Alan said he wanted to combine the concept of a Zipper ride with a coaster, and then came up with the 4-D coaster. Nothing "interactive," but it was a start. Of course, the new prototype Robb recently got to ride is MUCH more like a Zipper now!
