DoinItForTheFame Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 I can't wait to find out more about this coaster. It is so unique, and interesting looking!! I look forward to finding out just what this coaster is all about!
viking86 Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 I'm thinking we might be looking at some sort of darkride, possibly with some coaster elements. Very curious to find out more, because I'm very confused by this thing!
MrRC Posted September 4, 2016 Author Posted September 4, 2016 Here u can see how far the test is build now.
ECZenith Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 The first thing that popped into my head when I saw this prototype was the rumored Avengers/Iron Man coaster concept pitched for the Disney parks. I remember seeing a drawing of an unusual flying coaster idea from WDI , with Vekoma doing so many coasters for Disney recently, including prototypes (Everest/Grizzly Peak reversing coasters and the swinging cars for the Dwarves coasters) this may be plausible.
MrRC Posted September 4, 2016 Author Posted September 4, 2016 Can u find that drawing ? Sorry i'm from overseas Europe, whats WDI , Walt Disney Imagineers ? Kind regards, Sjaak , Netherlands (Europe)
KingRCT3 Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 It's this patent he is talking about, I assume: Flying roller coaster with vertical load and launch. And you almost got it right, WDI stands for Walt Disney Imagineering. This is the entity regrouping Disney's Imagineers. It was originally called WED Enterprises, for Walter Elias Disney Enterprises.

KingRCT3 Posted September 5, 2016 Posted September 5, 2016 Hmm, okay, so this is actually the way down, as we can see permanent magnets here, and tires on the other slope. Not what I was expecting.

What stops me from thinking it's a flyer prototype is the clearance in between the supports. Either the track is a lot wider than the images lead you to believe or the train is a two-seater at best.
MrRC Posted September 6, 2016 Author Posted September 6, 2016 Its a pretty TIGHT and SNUG fit . I believe it will fail Clearance test . But just enough to run the tests.
hesukaheadRBLX Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 It'd be interesting to look at the final product and what is going on with that station...
coasterfreak101 Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 What stops me from thinking it's a flyer prototype is the clearance in between the supports. Either the track is a lot wider than the images lead you to believe or the train is a two-seater at best. If the seats are in a flying position going down that slope, couldn't they rotate 90 degrees counter-clockwise before the flip to sideways track? That would put them upright for what I assume is meant to be a boarding area, which very well might take care of everyone's reach envelope concerns at the end since riders' arms would be restricted by an OTSR.

Mhm, except that it depends on how the OTSR will be shaped. You never quite know, though.

DoinItForTheFame Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Its a pretty TIGHT and SNUG. . . This is getting exciting! Agreed.
_koppen Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 I just can't figure this thing out and it drives me crazy!
hesukaheadRBLX Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 It's a Vekoma Flyer that has rotating seats (They change in terms of yaw)

KingRCT3 Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Why did you choose the old-gen Vekoma track, tho? I think the Motorbike track would fit better.
MrRC Posted September 11, 2016 Author Posted September 11, 2016 Yes thats right because of the track ties look more the same, but the track with is much smaller then the test setup @ Vekoma. The old gen track is 1200 and Motorbike is 800 . So if i took that it would look more skinnier. Thats why i used the old gen track. I hope u understand.
DoinItForTheFame Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Such an interesting concept. I'm interested to see how this could be used on a full scale coaster.
