chickenbowl Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 They have reaffirmed the claim that it's the steepest lift hill in the world as well How can that even be a record? There's a ton of Eurofiggters, and I'm pretty sure the El Lovos are steeper too. Steepest cable lift? I don't get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 ^I don't get it either, there's lots of vertical lifts so it doesn't make any sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlaKoaster Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Isn't G Force at Drayton Manor basically 180-degrees steep?! Plus it's the most boring record ever, I don't even know why they'd market that! It looks such an incredible layout, I can't wait to hear what our Emirates contingent think of it I hope to be there for a couple of months from June.

spinning man Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Quick question, is there a reason as to why Ferrari world have chosen their outdoor coasters to have white track rather than say red track, such as in portaventura? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 ^I would guess that it's due to the environment. The desert heat and sun takes it's toll on all colors, causing them to fade quickly. Particularly the color red fades quickly in the sun. Painting the rides all white prevents them from becoming eyesores in a short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garet Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Let's just call it "steepest lift hill on a roller-coaster named Flying Aces" and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 It honestly isn't that hard to figure out in my opinion. Obviously vertical lift coasters are 90°. As such coasters are billed to have a vertical lift hill. This is not considered a vertical lift coaster, therefore it has the steepest lift hill (no vertical) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they mean the steepest "traditional" style, non-vertical lift hill. (Obviously including cable lifts in this "traditional" category.)

dubaidave Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Just to add fuel to the fire. This was the response from Ferrari world. Hi David, Flying Aces will have the world's steepest lift at 51 degrees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painting the rides all white prevents them from becoming eyesores in a short time. Yes that's a perfectly valid reason... except for me the White is more of an eyesore and seams to look worse over a shorter period of time. It's not like a nice gleaming White it' seams off white already and withing a very short time it begins to look all dingy and I hate dingy Whites!!! makes my mind go into OCD nightmares running wild with Clorox and scrubbing sponges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they mean the steepest "traditional" style, non-vertical lift hill. (Obviously including cable lifts in this "traditional" category.) But saying "this is the steepest lift that's not 90 degrees" is like saying "this is the world's fastest car that doesn't reach 200 mph" which, in my opinion, is fairly ridiculous. But at least we all seem to agree the ride looks great, nonetheless. The layout looks very promising and with those trains it should be even better!

Samuel Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 New teaser for Flying Aces -- I'm surprised there hasn't been more buzz lately for this doozy of a coaster that opens in just over a week! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_HeUZyQaJA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyRush Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I think it is from the lack of updates that isn't creating as much buzz from enthusiasts as it should. Still no POV or off ride footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
