canadianparkfan Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Recently was browsing youtube and came across this thing! It looks like, to me, anyway, the result of a GIB and a shuttle loop spending some "alone time" together! Another thing that strikes me is that I believe you can build these things in RCT3, so they must be conman (or downright weird) enough for the game developers to have known they exist. Been looking a little on RCDB, but does anyone have any info on this ride whatsoever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I am not sure of its exact location but judging by its unique track shape I would guess this is a PAX shuttle loop product. If you search for PAX coasters in Russia you may find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOLO Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I believe there is one in Switzerland that is even crazier. I've heard good things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 There's another one in Switzerland, but Intamin made so many modifications that the ride can be called an Intamin coaster now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianparkfan Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Thanks ECZenith, that was what I assumed, seeing as it was in a Russian park according to the video. Even weirder still, I found this video in the side bar. I believe this is the Swiss one people were talking about. Now THIS is just MESSED THE **** UP! Here's the info on RCDB First video I posted: http://rcdb.com/4218.htm Coaster in Vid above: http://rcdb.com/12192.htm Very ironic how the second coaster is located in Switzerland, yet the country's most interesting coaster (at least IMO) isn't from Intamin or B&M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 but Intamin made so many modifications Are you sure that is Intamin? I already heard that a bunch of time, but I found no official statement. Plus, Intamin doesn't fabricate their tracks, it's Stakotra. I think the later did the job on its own, and Intamin was not involved. But I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceBoarder Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Hrm... According to the RCDB page, that coaster in the 1st video was supposed to come to the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianparkfan Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 I still find the fact you can build these things in RCT3 pretty hilarious! The rides looked a lot nicer in the game tbh! In real life they're a lot more ghetto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 ^ They're made in Russia, what did you expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Russian one: looks like it pulls a lot of Gs on the loop and it's funny how on the second time it goes forwards it's not far from stalling at the top of the loop. Second one: those airtime hills look pretty insane on the forwards run and, once gain, the loop looks pretty forceful. Then I wonder how it loses so much speed even with that "push" on the weird upside down spike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the later did the job on its own, and Intamin was not involved. But I could be wrong. I heard it from an ECC member, he was 100% sure about this. But finding some official statement about it would be really helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 There is another Pax shuttle in Saudi Arabia which is also mental. It has a train split half forwards and half backwards an 2 loops with an airtime hill. I think Pax have stopped making coasters now. So unlikely to see any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see some other company design an updated version of that for a park here in North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always loved the look of Pax rides. It was like someone was drunk while playing with No Limits or something. Seriously...these guys are insane.

K1ngdaKa88 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I rode that coaster in Switzerland and it is called Cobra and is at Connyland. My profile picture shows me on its beyond vertical Lifthill!! Yes BEYOND vertical LIFTHILL!!! And if you like hang time that is the correct coaster for you because in the front row you will get 5+ seconds of pure hangtime!!!!! And this coaster also gets the National record for the fastest, tallest and most inversions on a Coaster (Switzerland). But it isn't the longest coaster in the country, this record goes to a kiddie coaster in another small park! But the best thing about this coaster was when I was there: NO LINES and there were sometimes "only" 2 seats occupied!!! The train with me on the BEYOND VERTICAL LIFTHILL Here the coaster goes over the second hill and how you can see on the picture the train is nearly empty! Loop e loop and hangtime!

coasterer22 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I had no idea that these rides existed outside of RCT 3! The train with the both forward and backward facing cars was bizarre to say the least. Only Russians could dream of something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it headbangs a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianparkfan Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 ^The sadest part is that Switzerland is home to some of the best coaster manufacturers in the world, yet the country's tallest and fastest coaster is made by Pax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
