SLUSHIE Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I didn't know they were still going ahead with things like this. Are they still going to build that Sea world n stuff? Didn't know companies still wanted to be involved in this http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/oct/08/middleeast.construction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Dragon 1988 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Well this park is in Abu Dhabi, which according to RCDB is 60 miles from Dubai. I think most of the stuff scheduled to be built in Dubai like Six Flags, Busch, and Dubailand has been pushed back. Correct me if I'm wrong. F1 looks like one f-ed up coaster, but I would sure love to try it one day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 That white coaster track looks exactly the same as the new-look Intamin track waiting outside Kings Dominion. Is it the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Wow! The F1 coaster looks amazing, takes up A LOT of real estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIPDUDE Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 What the... How come I never heard of this coaster untill now? It's quite the megastructure! How fast is it? When is it schedueled to open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adi-Coaster Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I have uploaded a simulation of the new F1 Coaster. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNiHpuy41W4&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eyoutube%2Ecom%2Fuser%2FAdriscoaster&feature=player_profilepage#t=15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfan21 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Wow that coaster looks amazing, and i'm so happy that it is gonna take the record from ring°racer. I love how it doesn't break right after the launch like ring°racer (cheap°racer) does. It looks amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCLcoasters Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I didn't realize how insane this looks until I saw your simulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIPDUDE Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Me too! I did not realize how good of a coaster this might be untill I saw your recreation. I hope I'llg et to ride it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontuWillOwnYou Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 With all the tensions in the Middle East rising, it's unlikely I'd make a trip to the UAE just for a rollercoaster. I was in Dubai a year ago. Why couldn't it have been open then? No worries though, they will make a clone of it in the US before long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIPDUDE Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 ^ I seriously doubt that. And what do middle east tentions have anything to do with it? If anything I'm the one who should be concerned about that. But seeing as you're not an Israeli, traveling to a country that has nothing to do with the middle eastern conflict shouldn't be of effect to you.

larrygator Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Riders better hope there is not a slight headwind. I'd hate to be sandblasted at 149MPH. The sand kicking up into your face on El Toro at half that speed is uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Don't be such a wuss Larry. Go have an Entenmenn chocolate covered. It will turn you into a real man. Wait....... a coaster that goes over 120mph with a real layout? This can't be..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIPDUDE Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Wait....... a coaster that goes over 120mph with a real layout? This can't be..... So true... I wonder if we will ever see one that breaks both spped and height, and then does more than a hill or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4rturo Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I don't think that will happen. Just imagine the huge cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkman25 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 So this coaster has the same feeling that i305 will have in the sense of lots of speed, not significant amounts of air and ground hugging turns but people like this one and not i305? If anything, i305 has a drop and this just has a launch. Haha, sometimes I just don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 So this coaster has the same feeling that i305 will have in the sense of lots of speed, not significant amounts of air and ground hugging turns but people like this one and not i305? If anything, i305 has a drop and this just has a launch. Haha, sometimes I just don't get it. I think this one has a bit more air than i305...What about the first hill and those 3 rapid fire hills right at the end? To me this one seems a bit more 'balanced' than i305, a good mix of turns and hills, whereas i305 perhaps puts a little too much emphasis on the turns. (For the record, I think both of these rides will be really good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkman25 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 ^I am not trying to argue with anyone, but i305 does have a couple really nice looking airtime hills as well. I guess the difference is that the F1 coaster will be taking hills at approx 150 mph where i305 is only taking them at 95. Like you said though, both should be equally awesome coasters, it is just kind of shocking that they aren't toodifferent yet people love this and hate the other.

the ghost Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 ^ Yeah, but what has to be understood is that of the top 10 fastest roller coasters #3 Dodonpa has a unique layout, and then it goes all the way to #6 being steel dragon. All the other coasters are Hypers, with the exceptions of Backo and Accelerator. This coaster will be the fastest ride on earth, not be a rocket coaster, have some length, and will have more airtime than pretty much everything in the top 5, and maybe in the top 10 with the exceptions of Phantom's Revenge and Accelerator.

some sort of coaster dude Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 have they released layout pictures and statistics ? this thread is confusing to my brain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkman25 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 ^It shouldn't be, it is only 7 pages of park versus the hundreds for other parks. There really hasn't been a ton official, at least to my knowledge. A press article can be found on the first page, concept art for the complex can be found on the third and a pretty good update on page 4. There are also gradual updates in the other proceeding pages.

Swiminn6 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I am doing a job down there tomorrow and know that at least 2 coasters are complete so will be taking my camera. Did you ever get the pictures? And I just found out about this and it looks simply amazing! Can't wait for more photos. **Edit, I just found this on the internet. I don't think it is current but it looks really cool. this picture is where the heart of the building is and it will be one of the launched attractions.
