gerstlaueringvar Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Oddly they didn't modify the support to meet Japan's earthquake-proof requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Toro_Ryan Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Oddly they didn't modify the support to meet Japan's earthquake-proof requirements. I'm guessing the support design used on Manta is sufficent enough to meet the earthquake-proof requirements in Japan then. But this is only a small portion of the ride and other areas may see more rigid support designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The design must meet all the requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pǝʇɹǝʌuı Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Wow! This looks incredible! This past summer I had the opportunity to travel to Japan. Unfortunately I had to decide between Nagashima Spaland and Fuji-Q Highland and I chose Fuji-Q because of its lineup. This would definitely put Nagashima on the map for me if I make it back to Japan in the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Is that the height of the lift? Can't tell with Steel Dragon behind it. Oh, and SD2K, Fury 325 says hi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollerManic Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 SWO should build a SD2K clone just to get even / piss off Nagashima Spaland. Just make sure it's couple feet longer. Actually, the colors are really nice on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the colors are really nice on this one. If Morgan were in business (I don't think Chance is building anything that big anytime soon)... On the other hand, SWO could piss off two birds with one stone by building the world's tallest and longest gigacoaster (the two birds being Nagashima+Cedar Fair). The PR craze about *coughs* mediocre Fury 325 would die down in a heartbeat (and yes, I've been on the forceless ride). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chance has all the tools to build another SD2K, just no one has asked them for it. I can see CF working with Chance to build some rides in the future though. SWO is already building big, I dont picture them going bigger anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
