RCT3Bross Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I really hope I can make it to Abu Dhabi some day.
A.J. Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I hope this has a fast intamin cable lift which doesn't slow down at the top as that will make the drop even better! I'm getting tired of hearing this, seriously.
rosscoe Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 In AUH this coming weekend, might need to head out and have a look, since the temp is finally starting to drop
rcjp Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 ^^I know this gets repeated a lot but I'm just saying I'd like to see a fast lift that could stay that way (as we know intamin can do so and does on most coasters). It's like saying I would rather not see any or not may trims on the ride.

DoinItForTheFame Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 ^ It just doesn't look like the drop is tall enough for the train to even make it through the non-inverting loop... But I'm sure its just the camera angle. This coaster is looking so amazing!!
Coaster Hero Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) That overbank to the left is reeking of geometric-based track design... in other words, it looks really good, and it looks like it will have a great flow to it! I also agree that the drop and the loop appear to be the same height, but as stated above it's definitely the angle Edited October 7, 2015 by Coaster Hero

But I'm sure its just the camera angle. This coaster is looking so amazing!! I think Intamin might plan on using the cable lift to launch the train a la Maverick, since it seems like the lift is much shorter than the non-inverting loop. If that ends up being true, then I could definitely see this coaster being one of the best in the world...
Kinematics Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Don't forget perspective. Objects further away appear shorter.

rcjp Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Isn't the lift supposed to be around 60 meters and the loop 50 (or 52)?
dubaidave Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Just wait a few days and you'll see some nice photos which put it's all in a better perspective. I have some stunning pictures but are not allowed to post them just yet
gerstlaueringvar Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 It's impractical to launch a train through a super high hill and create a second hill that's even higher. During initial testing and when a launch fails will cause a gigantic amount of headache as the train will valley. ^^Cant wait to see the pictures!
KingRCT3 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 The corkscrew mystery is still going on... I still think it is one! Very big zoom on latest picture
dubaidave Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 It's an inversion. I think. Maybe a dive loop? Don't know if that's the right name.
DoinItForTheFame Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 It's an inversion. I think. Maybe a dive loop? Don't know if that's the right name. I'm pretty sure it's just a corkscrew.
DoinItForTheFame Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I still think it's an over banked 180 turn I don't know... I still think it might be a non-inverting, 270 degree, side step, back flip, loopscrew.
SharkTums Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 You're all wrong. It's an aquatrax aqua upside-down splash.
bert425 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 You're all wrong. It's an aquatrax aqua upside-down splash. doesn't that make it a "SKLOOSH!"
boldikus Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I like where this thread is going. Also, in case I haven't said so, this thing looks awesome!
