EastCoastn07 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 The launch was fun, inversions were quick, and while there was one trim brake where I wished there wasn't, it didn't detract from us having a BLAST on the ride! (Literally!) I had the opportunity of riding Deep Space with and without the trim brake and I can say that there's not much difference between the two ride experiences. The speed (and force) differences aren't very noticeable.
robbalvey Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 ^ Thata good to hear. Regardless, we really liked the ride. While it's not overly intense, it had some "snappy" moments, surprise airtime, and was overall just "different", which is awesome! When did they add the trim?
robbalvey Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Here is our POV video of Deep Space at Adlabs Imagica!
gerstlaueringvar Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Upside down airtime? Can't imagine how that feels like. Looks like a fun indoor coaster. I was wondering why Premier makes seemly airtime less camel backs on this and SkyRocket?
robbalvey Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 ^ I think the lack of airtime on that camelback was the only negative of the ride. But overall, we really liked it a LOT!
eddie200330 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I am pretty sure Premier may be the most under rated coaster builder out there. Everybody hypes B & M and Intamin, but Premier just makes plain old fun rides.
robbalvey Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 I am pretty sure Premier may be the most under rated coaster builder out there. Everybody hypes B & M and Intamin, but Premier just makes plain old fun rides. I would agree with this. I don't think there is a single Premier coaster out there that in don't like more than just a little bit. I've never felt like their rides are cookie-cutter or uninteresting in any way. Even something like The Mummy, where they had a small space to work in, and could have easily gone a lesser exciting route delivered a fantastic ride! Shame that a couple of their better rides (Chiller and Speed) have been dismantled and I'm not sure if they ever have a chance to re-open.
Guy T. Koepp Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 That looks suprisingly fun. I've liked all the premiere launch coasters I've ridden.
Philrad71 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I love those little trains...a lot like Sky Rocket (which I absolutely loved)!
azza29 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Count me as another Premier coaster fan. Sky Rocket's launch is surprisingly intense, and there's even a little airtime in the back seat. Even the Backlot Stunt Coasters are fun in their own way (and great family coasters), especially when all the effects are working.
TXman308 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Seems like a great ride. I really hope Premier starts becoming a more dominant force in the USA market. Oh and at 1:19: Elissa's (appears to be sound clipped) "So much better than Yolo"
robbalvey Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 Oh and at 1:19: Elissa's (appears to be sound clipped) "So much better than Yolo" I don't know what you're talking about. That's just the raw audio from the camera.
TXman308 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 ^It just sounds different than the few seconds before and after it. How was the launch compared to other premier rides- for example Mummy?
Wes Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Do the lights always come on during the ride course or did they turn them on for the POV? Cool looking ride though, love the layout!
robbalvey Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 Do the lights always come on during the ride course or did they turn them on for the POV? Cool looking ride though, love the layout! They turned them on for us. The very last POV on the video is one with the lights off.
Wes Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 That will teach me to watch the video the full way through.
KBrylczyk Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Awesome looking ride. I love when people stop trying to be the biggest or fastest and just go for all out fun. The majority of my favorite rides are smaller and well themed.
Nrthwnd Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Actually, I liked the idea of the building design, that enclosed the coaster. Defintely a nice change, from the boxes in a lot of parks. And swirly, too! Like icing on top of a cupcake!
rcdude Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Deep Space looks like another winner from Premier Rides. With the way the industry is going, Premier could probably end up becoming the most popular major steel coaster manufacturer in a few years. I can't think of a single one of their rides that I didn't enjoy and some of their recent efforts have been really good. Although I didn't have time to play this one, I love these Where in the World games. Hopefully there will continue to be more in the future featuring lesser-visited enthusiast destinations.
chickenbowl Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 This looks better than YOLO in my opinion, even with such a small and even short layout, it seems to do more and seems more interesting!
Mrlittle Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I love that it has a little pre-show before you get to the launch. Looks like a very fun ride.
arby Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I really enjoyed following along with this. I actually got over half of the clues! Hopefully next time I'll have more time to work through the other clues. Some things came up this time around. Premier certainly has been putting out some really good coasters.
rcjp Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Looks really nice for and indoor coaster, exept for the airtimeless airtime hill. The pre launch part is cool to. It's a shame that I've never been on a premier.
robbalvey Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Because someone asked, here is a couple of pics of the trains used on the Nicco Park woodie. I love the awesome plaid fabric they using! lol Edited February 20, 2014 by robbalvey
Nrthwnd Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Ha ha, they look like mini sofas all lined up there! So - where's the pillows, huh?
