Coastin Eric Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Definitely a cool concept and I like the straying away from the Superloops. Should be a great fit for smaller parks and establishments, I just hope we don't see these popping up at every six flags park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoBruz199 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Definitely a cool concept and I like the straying away from the Superloops. Should be a great fit for smaller parks and establishments, I just hope we don't see these popping up at every six flags park You know where I think Six Flags might put this? Magic Mountain. Think about it. They don't have a super-loop, and if it turns out that these rides count as credits, as I asked about earlier (but everyone apparently seems to be ignoring me (as usual ), then I don't see a reason as to why they shouldn't market this as their 20th coaster. ... Although, if they really wanted to make their 20th coaster, they'd want to make it good, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 It's not a credit but if you think "Is it a credit?" is a question that plays into their decision making or their ability to market it as a coaster then you're delusional. Anyway, I don't know if Six Flags would have much interest in this. I can't get into their heads but it looks to have 2 loading areas for increased capacity and while that's nice, Six Flags would probably be much happier with a Larson Loop that doesn't require additional staffing like this ride does to run 2 load platforms.

A.J. Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I wouldn't count this as a "coaster credit" because we don't count Disk'O coasters as "credits" either. Pretty much every vertical attraction is powered by gravity at some point. That being said, I could see many smaller and coastal parks getting one of these in their current form. Though, wasn't their original pitch something much larger? A double-sized one of these could be really interesting in a larger park or in transportable form at a European fair.

DoinItForTheFame Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Perfect candidate, Fun Spot Orlando! That's was what I was thinking. I could really see this fitting in well a Fun Spot Orlando. . . Or Coney Island/Luna Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Coney Island/Luna Park. Nah, Coney Island is owned by Zamperla. The only non-Zamperla rides there are the historical ones like the wonder wheel, cyclone, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdogg68 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Cool looking ride, this would be good in The Dragsters old spot at Kentucky Kingdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XII Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Wow. I didn't think you could really improve on something like a Super Loop, but this certainly looks like an improvement and a lot of fun. Hopefully some of these will head over to America soon. Does. This. Count. As. A. Credit? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnlloyd Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Skywarp looks like a fun and amazing new ride concept! The Immelmann gives it a nice touch! Hopefully it'll show up at quite a few parks in the future! Does anyone know if it will/can switch directions throughout the ride duration?

storms555 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 As fun as this rides looks,lets hope big parks dont pull a Larson Loop/Disk'o thing on this ride....im sorry but advertising those rides as coasters is such out and out.....tacky...and i admit this even though the Larson Loop is one of my favorite basic carnival rides! This ride would be so EPIC for a local carnival or county fair!! Id be thrilled to see this at a near by fair! However i dont think I could handle the amount of cringe if and when, the big boy parks parade this around as their "omg hot new coaster added to our great coaster line-up!!!", all while showing that infamous fancy commercial with Over Enthusiastic Man talking about like its the next coming of jesus! Complete with making the ride look 10 times taller then it really is.....cant forget that part! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the origional post said it rocks back and forth before completing the.circuit (like a super loop). Guessing that means it can go backwards in the same manner as a super loop as well. Seems like a really neat looking ride overall, a sort of cross between the larger premier shuttle-coasters and the smaller super loops.

Nrthwnd Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I found this somewhere on the net. It looks like it could be this new ride's logo, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianparkfan Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Wonder if skywarp was their second choice. Looking at the logo posted, it seems like "infinity Coaster" would've made more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 This isn't to my taste, but it does look like a good alternative to those "Ring of Fire" rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 ^^ Maybe they could just call it "Infinity" and leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Farmer Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Six Flags will go for this. Just add VR and DC. I could see them being placed very near, next to, or on top of their Superloops. Kidding aside, it looks infinitely better than a Superloop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixflagsgadv1000 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Reminds me of a Larson Loop, but crazier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I probably wouldn't be very interested in riding it, but it does look like a good alternative to Larson's Super Loop. I hope that every installation of this is marketed as a roller coaster, just because of how much it irritates people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBJ Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I agree it would make a great fit at SFMM (or Knott's), or enclosed at USH. All parks need unique flat rides, and this kind of attraction blurs the lines between coaster and flat. Would make a great neighbor to Full Throttle at SFMM. And at 800 pph, line would move faster than FT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Well, this looks like a crazy thing. The low height requirement makes me think it'd be a prime candidate for Canobie Lake Park's next new ride. Hell, they could put it in the Canobie Corkscrew's spot and still have a good amount of space left over for other rides. Though, I'd like to see that particular ride replaced by an actual credit...

canadianparkfan Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 To be honest, not sure why people are saying it's not a roller coaster. Isn't it basically a powered coaster?... It's definitely more of a coster than a super loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
