SharkTums Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Hey Roller Coaster Weirdos! I'm trying to figure out whose trains these are that they're putting on Titan at Space World. Anyone following this or know? New Train on Titan Edited February 18, 2015 by robbalvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterchitchat Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Where is that article? I am seriously convinced this is being done by Vekoma, but from their website, it doesn't look like them unless they're using a T-Bar instead of of the one they have modeled.

SharkTums Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Here's a blog post with some good pictures: http://www.spaceworld.co.jp/blog/spaceworld/3840 And the attraction page: http://www.spaceworld.co.jp/attraction/taitan_max/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Those are S&S seats, doesn't S&S have all of the old Arrow assets? It would make sense considering that Titan is an Arrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) ^ Aha, yep. You're right. I *knew* I had seen similar seats somewhere recently! Edited February 18, 2015 by robbalvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yeah, there's a stark contrast to the old ones, like the B&M trains on Steel Dragon 2000. Much more open-air. Also, does that mean I get a cookie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'm slightly nervous about these now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

805Andrew Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Looks like those trains with the open air seats will bring new life to this ride. Can't wait to ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 So, they're getting rid of the old "bathtubs on wheels" trains the ride used to have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Magnum XL could use these........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Japan certainly seems to be on a 'new train' kick right now. Surf Coaster, Steel Dragon, and now this all got shiny new trains in the last two years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singemfrc Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 At first glance (before I knew it was an Arrow) I thought S&S because they reminded me of the El Loco seats, the only thing that looked off was the restraint, but their launch coasters like Extreme Rush at Happy Valley have those kind of restraints, so yeah it looks like a hybrid of the two.

matteocrepaldi Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I think I agree with the S&S idea even if the restraints are completely different. They also remind me a little bit of the seats on Hollywood Dream so my second choice would be B&M. I remember from the POV some wierd transitions on this ride so I'm pretty sure that with these trains it will be a lot more scarier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Please let it just loop the Space World theme song over and over again on the ride... The Space World theme song is the greatest song ever. Or at least tied with The Final Countdown. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glucky11801 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Magnum XL could use these........ It sure could! Those bunny hops would probably be much more comfortable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) That came out of leftfield. Going to do a thorough search for some more pics later. But for now a quick check found this nicer version of the rendering and some pictures of the new trains arriving. The rendering looks a bit different to the finished product. The back of the cars are certainly a bit higher in real life. The trains will also have on board music where you can choose from 5 tracks. Music to be used for the "Titan MAX" is, your request visited the Space World will select five songs from the song many S&S are partnered with Sansei in Japan correct? So I assume this would have been brokered through them in some way? Rendering of new train. Trains arriving at the park And being lifted onto the track Up we go!

Nrthwnd Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) I am only hoping that with this new configuration of seating, what Robb called the "Bent Coat Hanger," will be less painful to ride through. (see photos, thank you TPR) Edited February 18, 2015 by Nrthwnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Like with steel dragon, though, the capacity is not as good as the old ones. Still, these should provide a better ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I love this. In brilliant Japanese fashion they said goodbye to the old Arrow trains by writing on them with messages of thanks for their service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
