Hidden Mickey spine!

 

Are these new-line Vekoma's being designed by Ride Centerline? The layout looks very similar to something they would likely do.

Nope, Benjamin Bloemendaal is the young genius behind those new-gen designs at Vekoma.

 

By the way, the unpainted supports are more likely to compensate with the terrain the ride will ultimately stands on. That means it's already sold!

Scratch that Star Wars idea, an Iron Man ride

360 degrees Seven Dwarf Mine Train?

[MrRC]

My guess is, the track is beeing rotated 90 degrees and the trains kinda like free flooting balls.

 

Been there at Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday still NO progress and NO new pictures

New video from today (Saturday)

I don't get how a 90 degree twist makes this "not a family ride." Especially when we know NOTHING about this coaster. There are plenty of family rides out there with some quick transitions, and inversions.

Well okay i get that now, but let's say it won't be a very light family ride at the least

I don't, and will never consider any roller coaster with (an) inversion(s) to be a family coaster. The intimidation factor just shoots up.

Well this is a family coaster.

According to RCDB, Orkanen has 0 inversions.

I know that, I was referring to him saying if a coaster had an 90 degree twist it was not a family coaster

[KingRCT3]

Remember that a 90° twist can be a -45° to +45° twist, AKA a simple S-turn.

 

But there I think it's indeed to acheive a 90° bank :

 

 

If we refer to this image posted earlier in the thread, the triple-spine track is for a portion where the track is angled at 90°.

U mean a triple SPINE track , i assume.

I count Rage at adventure Island as a family coaster and Corkskrew coasters.

Well they aren't high thrill but they certainly aren't family rides

[gerstlaueringvar]

Yup, now I believe this will be a 360 degrees 7DMT.

Cheetah Hunt?

To be perfectly honest, I've never understood why there's a heart line roll on Cheetah Hunt. It is considered a family thrill coaster, but the inversion feels so out of place for the ride.
