SharkTums Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) ^As I have already posted in this thread, it is opening in late July. Gerstlauer and the park have conflicting opening dates at this point! Edited May 11, 2011 by SharkTums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerCoasterSmi Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) According to RCDB this beast is called Takabisha... Any TPR people in Japan know what it means??? I also remember watching the video of Robb at IAAPA talking to the folk at Gerstlauer. I seem to remember that he said something like "It is the same concept as Hansa Park but on a bigger scale... There is also an interesting theme" What is the theme? I wonder... Edited May 13, 2011 by RollerCoasterSmi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooz Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 A quick Google search says it means "high handed, domineering". Sounds like dominator to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yeti Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Every element on this ride looks like it will do sick things to my stomach...and I've gotta say I hope for one like that in the Midwest one day. This looks like the coolest thing by Gerstlauer so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 121 Degrees? Seriously? I bet the guys over at Fraispertuis City (And S&S, they're building Timber Drop over there) are really PO'd right about now about them not getting the drop record now that Gerstlauer's built this. This Euro-Fighter's gonna be absolutely mental, and I thought that Untamed was going ot be crazy. It also looks like (Not much people have noticed this) there's gonna be an indoor section, and that should be pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsr Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Just an updated picture. Hope everyone enjoys. This looks like something out of RCT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazywolf88 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 If Fuji-Queue has 3 hour lines for coasters with 20+ seats per train, imagine what that wait time would be with single car, 8 person cars max( they could get the even lower CRAPacity 6 person cars.) Just think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 ^I don't actually think that they'd be that careless with that kind of capacity. Unless they wanted to get those fancy lap-bar only cars that get used on Dare Devil Dive, there's no real reason why they could downsize.... ...then again, a lot of the big-ticket rides at Fuji-Q are painful, right? This may actually be a case where having a better capacity might cost them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 ^You're talking about a park that put in a brand new rapids ride with three person boats!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummmmm wouldn't the nice boat ride at Gilroy Gardens you love so much have a higher capacity than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 This just looks so unnatural for a Eurofighter. Don't get me wrong, it looks amazing, but it just looks like it is on steroids compared to the other ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcoasters Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Anyone else agree that the little Euro Fighter trains are going to look quite strange going through those huge elements I hope they make it a multi car train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 ^^ Are these two the first in line for riding it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Gold Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I like that, in true Fuji-Q fashion, the ride is completed now but you have to wait another two full months for it to open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatch Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Anyone else agree that the little Euro Fighter trains are going to look quite strange going through those huge elements I hope they make it a multi car train. But... that's wanting to have the coaster be a higher capacity! Everyone knows you can't have that at Fuji-Q! Not to mention, they've probably picked out the right opening day for the coaster, because it will probably raining when everybody tries to ride it. Then they'll postpone opening and wait another month or so. Fuji-Q's got it down to a science, peoples! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJJman Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 As cool as this looks, I am a bit perplexed. I know the pic isn't in the highest resolution, but does anyone else notice that there's no lift chain guide track, sprockets or likely motor mounts for the lifthill? Usually, aren't those assembled with the main support structure?? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 ^I didn't think it looked real. It's convincing though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerstlauer1 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 ^^ Hmm, i really don't think that this picture is real, it looks like a screen from an animation of the ride... Maybe that explains the lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you're right, especially since when you go back a page and look at the [definitely real] picture of the ride below it you can clearly see there are catwalks along the brake run.

Yeah, you're right. I hadn't looked at this thread in awhile. Forgot about those pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
