ImNotOneOfYou Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 How big is the SFX coaster? It looks small, but the surroundings look deceiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hmmmmmmm. I could be over thinking this, but it just doesn't seem safe to be launching a coaster through a pane of glass. For that matter just launching off the end of track could be dangerous. I've tried this on RCT to less than optimal results. People didn't seem to want to ride after the first cycle. Is there some sort of air bag that stops the train somewhere? Perhaps ride parameters are a bit different over there in the Emirates? Furthermore, I know I can punch right through dry wall, but it could be quite painful to ride a coaster train through it. Especially in the front row. And the crew is gonna have to work hard to replace both glass and drywall after every cycle. They're probably going to have to hire a construction crew to do that exclusively all day long. And what if someone on those crews call in sick for the day, will they just shut down the ride, or run it without the drywall and glass? I know I would want the whole experience if I were to ride. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 ^lol I wonder if each cycle on the shuttle coaster will be only one run as there isn't (or it doesn't look like there will be) a second spike so that the ride can go backwards and forward several times.

KingRCT3 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) I believe this will work like Superman Escape From Krypton. And by the look of it, it's going to have a double station. By the way, thank you so much dubaidave for the pictures!! Edited November 26, 2015 by KingRCT3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanthonyam Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 What is a SFX coaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImNotOneOfYou Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 The rcdb page says Mission Ferrari: "is an indoor/outdoor roller coaster with two 3D movie screens on the indoor section." I think the 3D movie screens are what makes it an SFX coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StealthFan Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 So for those of you that are not interested in Formula One this weekend was the annual Adu Dhabi Grand Prix so naturally Ferrari sent their 2 star drivers, Kimi Räikkönen and Sebastian Vettel to Ferrari World to ride Formula Rossa. Click here to see them riding the worlds fastest roller coaster and tell me if you could keep a straight face like Kimi does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoBruz199 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Talking about the creativity of Intamin, here is their latest innovation... (Pic from my EAS report) We've seen better days! Same concept, almost same elements and even same colors as S&S's! Kudos for the NL1 render with photoshopped supports, too. Such amazing originality.... not.

LeoBruz199 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I hope what they do for the shuttle coaster is to launch it up the "hole" where the drop tower used to be. That could make for a pretty bad-ass ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StealthFan Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Kimi Räikkönen wouldn't make a good celebrity guest star on a Theme Park Review rider cam video. I dont know.

KingRCT3 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Browsing the web, I found pictures of the SFX's tilt piece... and OH MY, this is huge! For the reminder, it's the white piece in the background, far right: And here it is for real... Factory mockup I guess.

jedimaster1227 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 That tilt track looks incredible! I'd imagine that's what the one in Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts looks like underneath all of the theming and darkness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
