Rikketick Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I'm searching for a coaster, special thing with this coaster is that some track parts are hanging on a thick steel cable. I have seen once in a concept art. I have heard that at the moment there is one of those in the world, in the USA? Does some one know the name of constructor and the coaster name? One thing i know, is that company also constructs skiing lifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikketick Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 Hehehehe nope, it is inverted. Only some supports have been replaced with steel cables. Like hanging bridges! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Fan Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Do you mean like.. a Zip-Line with seats? "Thrillzone" in VT has one of them... They call it a "coaster" but its not... Its just a zipline with 2 seats... Or... I dont know what your talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezus Juice Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I know what hes talking about but I don't remember where I saw it. Basically it's one suspended car with 4 across seating with supports very far apart with cables providing the bulk of track support. The layout that I've seen pictures of was a prototype that kinda just glides around through the treetops. It's not the kind of ride a major park would get but it'd probably work in a zoo or botanical type place. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikketick Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 Yeah that looks like it i think , but do u have something like that bigger in the US? And maybe a little bit safer, with restraints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezus Juice Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 We have nothing like that in the US. The only US Weigand installation I know of is in the mountains near Denver. While that's not the ride I was thinking of it definately looks pretty bad ass, and did you see those trampolines in the background?! Score! -Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_type_of_person Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I think that it's funny how there are nets under the lift to catch anyone that falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roeterich Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Wow that looks funny and guess what? It's an self operated ride The only catch is that xou have to be at least 8 years old and you have to weight less that 65kg. Thats impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
