ScottBrown Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Or single seat cars like the older Wild Mouse coasters
Nrthwnd Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Or, maybe it'll be my fave number... and be Three-Seats-Across! Would be just like Fuji-Q to do that, lol. And then, not have a Single Riders' Line! < But then thinks about that, and subsequent lineup time... > Damn.
CCG2 Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Anybody have $4 million on their hands so we can hire Adena Corp. to transport this from Fuji-Q to Cedar Point?
OldJJman Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Anybody have $4 million on their hands so we can hire Adena Corp. to transport this from Fuji-Q to Cedar Point? ANY other park in Japan would be far better than Cedar Pointless.
paradisecoaster Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I would call that a "Banana Roll". That looks totally riddiculus.
RoCo Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Hmmm, I must say I'm not too impressed... really doesn't look all that interesting to me... not really very exciting in any way... [secretly trying not to go ballistic with horrible anger that a trip to Japan in the near future is very unlikely] Seriously, though, all our compadres in Japan deserve some good fortune. Here's hoping this is indeed as OMFG-righteous as it looks.
SharkTums Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I thought of this element 38 years ago. But did you copyright it!?!?!
jynx242 Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 ^Damn! I was totally going to post this - 42 years ago - copywrighted and watermarked. Anywho - it's cool to see a unique element on ANY coaster. Eurofighters seem to be able to pull off just about any maneuver that a designer can come up with. It will be cool to see the cars going through the track. D
Ryancrash Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 They should call it the "WTF is this?!" roll....... I hearby dub this new element the Sushi Roll. (Since it just looks so darn tasty... Mmm...)
tedten Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I, like everyone and their cousin, have thought of this inversion before. I was thinking of "Cobra Roll Minor" but I like the idea to call it a "Banana Roll." I wonder if Gerstlaeur will name it, or someone else comes up with a name that sticks (I'm digging the post that said Banana Roll) or if we'll just call it the corbra roll like inversion...
RoCo Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 ^I'll be the first to admit that I've NEVER thought of an inversion like this. I'm kind of slow that way. *drools.* But I'm glad someone did.
Pure Impurity Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I thought of this element 38 years ago. Before it went mainstream?
tedten Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 ^^Haha. At this point it's more rare to have not thought of it than to post that you had, haha. I just though how a cobra roll is basically like a top hat folded over on itself. So what if it was folding over but not to the point of re-inverting... if that makes any sense.
RoCo Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 ^^That does make sense. So it could be called a "Flop Hat?"
BarryH Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 ^Barry, I did that last time and the freakin universe repaid me with an Earthquake!!!!!! Yup, Robb and the group went off to Fuji Q whie KT and I stayed on the 30 something floor of the hotel. Right around 8:30 in the morning the room started swaying and I was sooooo pissed at Fuji Q for causing this!!!! All I kept thinking was the building was going to collapse and we would die, but the Fuji Q group would be just fine!!! Idea...Elissa goes to Fuji-Q and the group stays in the hotel. Then the earthquake will hit Fuji-Q!
Nrthwnd Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 ^^That does make sense. So it could be called a "Flop Hat?" But I like it!
Thom25 Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Thanks for posting the pics - this ride has some great potential and like the idea of the new element being called a "banana roll." Any coaster with a unique element is always a great thing and hope we see one here in the US soon.
ScottBrown Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 I cast my vote for Banana Roll as well although I do like flop hat too
CCG2 Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 I like the sound of Banana Roll, but in the style of Drachen Fire and this being pretty much just being an over-inverted cutback, maybe it should just be called an "Inclined Cutback"?
pommi Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Damn....! They stole my idea for a new inversion... But it looks very interresting to ride...awesome!
