gerstlaueringvar Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I'm imagining what's going to happen on that missing piece right now...
I305forever Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 What does everyone think will be better, this or Karnan? I'm leaning towards this because of all of its awesome elements and path interaction.
Anac0nda Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 What does everyone think will be better, this or Karnan? I'm leaning towards this because of all of its awesome elements and path interaction. I was super excited about Kärnan when I realized the lift and first drop are vertical, but apart from the first element, Kärnan's layout seems a bit boring. But I could be wrong, we'll have to wait and see how the rest of it comes. Junker however has that awesome bridge-interaction, a close-by passing of the nearby restaurant and a water body underneath. Not to mention all the other path interactions we'll see when it's completed. That and the fact that Junker is a bit closer than Kärnan makes me decide on Junkers favour. On another note, we have tophat! You can also see from the webcam that the first loop is starting to take shape Source
rcjp Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 ^Looks like an outside one and I think that's what it's supposed to be.
StealthFan Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 I see people have been speaking about how this ride will interact with things. Will this ride interact with the log flume at all?
Superbatboy Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 It is indeed an outside top-hat. Hopefully some nice
KingRCT3 Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Check the webcams when the sun is up again, and see how the track wraps around the bridge (shared by the flume, however the two rides will not interact directly it seems)! That loop is really round, and that is indeed a non-inverted dive loop too. Webcam 1 Webcam 2
I305forever Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 ^ (Although I can barely see anything) It looks really cool so far, especially the element you were talking about.
KingRCT3 Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 I had made a screenshot the other day slightly before the element was completed for those who can't wait tomorrow!
I305forever Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 ^ Wow! It looks a lot bigger than I thought it would, considering it's only about 120 feet tall.
Nrthwnd Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Looking at the above photo, I get the feeling there's going to be a lot more water in that area, and not just under the coaster! That flat ride in front, certainly looks like there's also a ridge around it for water, as well as the coaster. It's going to be great!
KingRCT3 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 The flat ride is a Zierer Jet ski, so it was already in the water. Gerstlauer Facebook (via CoastersWorld.fr)
Andrewoplis Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 That's one funky looking loop! Should be some cool hang-time at the top.
viking86 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Yeah, that loop looks it will create some serious hang-time! Really like how they are getting more and more creative with the elements. Not just for this ride, but on rollercoasters in general.
Nrthwnd Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 The flat ride is a Zierer Jet ski, so it was already in the water... Oh I knew that. I should have made it more clear. I meant the area outside of the Jet Ski waterway, and thought that maybe they would extend the water area under the coaster, and up and around the Jet Ski, too. Thanks for naming the ride for me. I can never quite remember what is which is what flat ride....dry or wet. And by the way, the new photos of the coaster look awesome!
_koppen Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 ^ It's gonna be roughly the same as before, just with a coaster above I'm totally in love with this ride and that loop! Would love to make it up there this summer, but it will most likely be next summer
KingRCT3 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Ha sorry for the confusion Nrthwnd, anyways, _koppen made it clear, that area was already filled with water with the jet-ski and its surrounding (that's what I meant) and I see no reason for it to change, hopefully. That means an underwater tunnel after the dive loop, yay! Y'all talking about the looping, but that airtime hill that then twist itself like a non-inverting loop is going to be crazy!
Anac0nda Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 New twisty bits of track have gone up! The overbanked looks funky and fun, and the turn before the final corkscrew isn't bad either
Anac0nda Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Sorry for double posting, but trains have arrived! I hope the lights in the back illuminate like Karacho's as they are very similar. Also yay for lapbar only! Source
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Really like the simple color scheme on Junker. Looks like Gerstlauer made a few changes on the Infinity train, the look better than the original one IMO.
StealthFan Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 I would love to have seen those trains on the Smiler instead of the Eurofighter style ones. I hope the lights in the back illuminate like Karacho's as they are very similar. I don't know if the lights would be worth it on this ride with the sun always being up for certain parts of the year. I actually quite like the simpleness of this ride and think the trains are suited to the ride as they are.
