coasterfreak101 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 ^Disney does have a solid relationship with Vekoma, too. From what I've heard, they're the company most willing to give Disney massive input on their ride designs to make sure that the blocking and whatnot can handle the 5-6 trains they'll be running. It would definitely make sense that they would go with them yet again, and that Vekoma would be willing to develop just about anything for them for what I imagine is a solid payday.

DoubleDown Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Just the way it looks having so much weight on 1 rail when the track is sideways seems like it would take a signifigant toll on the ride wheels and trains. Also with a pivot point in the center of the train allowing the cars to freely swing, there'd really be no reason to make the track invert or stay sideways as it would seem to have a negligible effect on the rotation of the cars. But who knows! These photos have me intrigued! However I think if this was for Disney Star Wars Land, it'd be a little more hidden, and we would have seen it years ago as opposed to now. I imagine any attraction going into Star Wars land has already been decided and is in fabrication/design. Not testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRCT3 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Ok so that confirms this part is a drop, and the other side will be the lift. Other than that, I'm still wondering what's going on! As always, thanks for the pictures MrRC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCT3Bross Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I think Vekoma likes to show their good side. Intersting concept like to see how it plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRCT3 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 ^ It was a real patented concept by Setpoint. Actually, this picture is really interesting, as it shows the maximum clearance for the vehicle... and it seems to be pretty tight. It makes me doubt the theory of a 360° 7DMT kind of coaster... Maybe something along the lines of the "surf coaster" that Vekoma patented a while ago? Where people are sideway in relation to the track? But why going inverted then, I don't know.

julioot Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 According to some people on dutch forums it could be a flying coaster design with rotating cars for easy bording. something like this. Looking at those supports I think its likely the won't test complete cars/trains but rather just a frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 ^^ Oh you. ^ It's more like what B&M first intended to do for their flyings then: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I thought originally you were probably spot on there but looking closer the track at the top section where I'd assume any station structure would be is inverted not on its side which would be needed for this. the large black support at the back here seems to suggest the track with flip over to inverted at the top of that drop anyway.

MrRC Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Bonjour KingRCT3, Yes the station will be at the bottom, tomorrow (Saturday)(Euro time) i will place a video here wich i made today (Friday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Ah ok. I assumed loading would be at the long flat section at the top. Stranger and Stranger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRC Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Ah ok. I assumed loading would be at the long flat section at the top. Stranger and Stranger No incorrect, the station will be at the lower straight section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooz Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 ^^ Oh you. ^ It's more like what B&M first intended to do for their flyings then: Coaster sections in that 'station orientation' would be very cool, especially with setpieces or scenic views to look at.

Henry M Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Okay, that went up fast. That is a strange design, the way that most of the time it is horizontal, but it also goes inverted. For some reason I don't get the feeling this is a thrill ride, more family, however the inverted bits make me question this more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
