thedazza Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Is that just for testing, or will there actually only be 2 rows? That is just for the pull through to check the clearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garet Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Is that just for testing, or will there actually only be 2 rows? Clearance testing by the look of it so it's not the full train. Hence the fins on the sides of that first car. ^ beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspence1127 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Oh that makes much more sense. Thanks! (I was very confused at first!) I wonder when they will begin testing the real train. It hasn't arrived there yet right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garet Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Oh that makes much more sense. Thanks! (I was very confused at first!) I wonder when they will begin testing the real train. It hasn't arrived there yet right? Well those are cars from the real train for the pull-through so the rest of the cars could be on-site. They tend to only use a car or two for pull throughs. I'm not an engineer so I can't say for certain but I'd assume the reason for that is having more would just be redundant for checking clearance and that's it probably a lot easier and less stress to winch a car or two around the track since it's a slow process than holding a whole train on those hills and inversions.

rcjp Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Are those "wings" on the first car for the actual train or just a way to check clearance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 That's the clearance envelope. The coaster is not themed after Dumbo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyknottsville Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 This coaster was already on a whole nother level, it's just down right obscene now that wing trains are confirmed Just wow!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsMe Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I do not think it will be winged trains: this is just for clearance, right? Hereby some photos taken last Sunday 3 AM, when I passed by on my way to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 It has alread been confirmed that it is a wing coaster. The train going through the pull through is the real train but just rows 1 and 2 from the train with a clearance envelope attached to the second row.

Last I knew it was not officialy confirmed Their was construction works all around at this time of the night. I know, it is better to work in the night than in the heat in the middle of the day, however even at that time (11AM) two days before they had at least 20 people on the site working. The train is was at the top of the lifthill at that stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRCT3 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 If the NoLimits model with the winged trains and the pull-through cars weren't convincing enough, here is yet another proof: Trains will have seven cars, and those are definitely 4-across.

Trevor Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I don't know the reason the rumor of "regular trains" has appeared... actually if you look at the width of the track you can see that is clearly a wing rider. Moreover, the lift evacuation stairs are placed in both sides, something that is logic thinking in a wing rider distribution: Intimidator (mega lite as well) have only one evacuation stairs in one of the sides, and the distance between the track and the handrail is much smaller... Okay, there are some differences between this coaster and Skyrush... if you see the handrail the shape is different, but don't forget this is the "last model" of that kind of coaster and it has some improvements. Are you able to see the return of the cable lift going up the lift, instead of going through the ground like Skyrush? According to @koppen he spoke with Intamin and they are the ones who told him they are using regular trains and not the wing-rider type. Unless Intamin is being playful, and even though the design suggest otherwise, we as of now should expect regular trains. Everything seems to point to it being [a wing coaster].... I'm pretty sure that the only other coaster to have track look like this is Skyrush, which is also a wing coaster Yep, everything except ya know, Intamin's confirmation that it won't be one... Other coasters with the new type of track: I305 (regular OTSR trains with straps), Formula Rossa (regular trains)... Wing rider as expected from the very beginning, even the "course" from those few who failed in their attempt to be cooler than the others. Thank you very much "coaster experts". This project is amazing. We are talking about a coaster that if it was opened in EEUU it would be considered "a world's best". Airtime, wing rider trains and one inversion. BTW, do you see the cable return at the top of the lift? Looking forward to see the first tests of this monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bf9 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Looks like it is in fact a wing coaster...this thing is going to be insane. Be right back, I need 15 minutes and some tissues. So many great coasters opening next year, RMC and Intamin are kings of the hill right now at least for my preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterkid124 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I know it's been mentioned before, but hopefully this ride has a "kink" in the first drop like Skyrush. One of the biggest "Oh S**t" moments for me on that was the initial airtime, then that nosedive towards the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the first drop, you get two pops of air. The first comes while cresting the hill and initially dropping. The second is midway through the drop, when the hill is around 85 degrees. It's a little hard to explain, but if you rode it again, I think you would get what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
