Nrthwnd Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 (after watching vid) Uh - yeah - tests kool. Even going up that lift hill took - for - e - ver. And then the car slooooooowwwwly edged forward..... and then...down. Geez, the whole ride vid itself looked and timed longer than it (normally) would/should have. But of course, this is testing the thing out, right? Uh huh? But then at Fuji-Q: One car + lift hill = Guaranteed 3-4 Hour Queues, LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom25 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 The video is awesome - thanks for posting it! I agree the lift takes forever but the ride looks smooth and really does flow well. I also think the car looks very small and is funny to watch - can't wait for a POV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 One car. One long - really long - lift hill. And only two people per car. Hmmm. I think we have the makings of a First-Ever 6 HOUR QUEUE at Fuj-Q! (Hoping to the Coaster Gawds it doesn't REALLY lead to this. Eep.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom25 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) I saw this video on another site, read the TPR posting rules, and think I did this right and wanted to share the video of them testing three (3) cars - This ride has a beautiful flow and hope we get one in the States soon.

GeorgeT Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 This REALLY is a Coaster Nerds wet dream...at least it is mine If I ignore what I heard about Fuji Qs Operations this is one of the most exciting looking Coasters ever build. One of the few that really make me jealous because we don`t have anything comparable here in Germany. Of Course, in a smaller Scale we have...but the scale of this thing is what seems to make it stand out... This is definitively a reason to go oversea...

_koppen Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Something like this would be perfect for Liseberg's next coaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewFoley Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 ^The Euro Fighter would be good for Liseberg, but they already have a launching coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamoure Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Germanys biggest newsletter wrote an article about the new eurofighter "Takabisha". It's the steepest drop worldwide with 121°.. Lust auf einen Adrenalin-Kick? Dann auf nach Japan! Dort eröffnet am 16. Juli die steilste Achterbahn der Welt. Die stürzt nämlich 43 Meter im freien Fall in die Tiefe – und das bei einem Gefälle von 121 Grad! Gefällt Ihnen das?Vor der Kulisse des Fuji, Japans höchstem Berg, liegt der Freizeitpark Fuji-Q Highland. Der hatte seinerzeit schon die höchste und auch die schnellste Achterbahn der Welt zu bieten, bis diese Superlative übertroffen wurden. Jetzt geht er also mit der steilsten an den Start. Die Daten der Achterbahn „Takabisha“ hören sich auch flott an: Neben dem Drop mit krassem Gefälle gibt es sieben Überschlagselemente und eine Beschleunigung von 0 auf 100 Stundenkilometer in gerade einmal zwei Sekunden. Allerdings bleibt's dann bei der Geschwindigkeit. Und das soll schnell sein? Zum Vergleich: Der Ring Racer am Nürburgring, der noch in diesem Sommer eröffnet werden soll, wird mit 216 Stundenkilometern die gewundenen Schienen entlangsausen. Aber keine Sorge: Der freie Fall im Überhang auf der Takabisha-Bahn macht diesen kleinen „Schönheitsfehler“ garantiert wett und kommt Fahrgästen bestimmt nicht zu langsam vor... Japans brandneue steilste Achterbahn und weitere rasante Fahrgeräte sehen Sie in der Fotogalerie. Schwindelfreies Vergnügen! Fancy an adrenaline rush? Then on to Japan! Opened there on 16 July, the steepest roller coaster in the world. The crash that is 43 meters in free fall into the depths - and at a gradient of 121 degrees! Do you like it? Set against the backdrop of Mount Fuji, Japan's highest mountain, is the theme park Fuji-Q Highland. Who had once been the highest and fastest roller coaster in the world to offer up these superlatives were exceeded. So now he goes with the steepest at the start. The data from the roller coaster "Takabisha" listen to too fast: Next to the drop with a sharp slope estimate there are seven elements and an acceleration from 0 to 100 kph in just two seconds. However, it's still at speed. And this is supposed to be fast? By comparison, the ring at the Nurburgring racer, who is scheduled to open this summer, will fly along with 216 kilometers per hour, the winding tracks. But do not worry: The free fall in the surplus on Takabisha train makes these little "flaws" and comes guaranteed to compete against passengers determined not to slow ... Japan's brand-new steepest roller coasters and other fast-paced driving devices you see in the photo gallery. Dizziness-free pleasure!

Nrthwnd Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Damn. I wish that thing had been available to ride when the TPR tour was there, back in late June. But it's not open till July 13th, I remember seeing on posters and stuff. Oh well - next Fuji-Q visit, heh heh. Thanks for posting the video!

ILoveRides Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) It looks amazing! My only comment is that I would prefer the lift first followed by the launch so that there's no break in the middle. But either way the ride looks great, and I can't wait to ride it whenever I get back to Japan. Edited July 9, 2011 by ILoveRides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernierocker Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 The Dog tongue element really seems to flow well. I agree that the placement of the vertical lift just seems awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougMJr Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 The Dog Tongue element looks insane! I have a feeling that we will be seeing a lot more of this element in future euro-fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exmouse Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I still can't work out what order the elements are from that POV. I'm guessing there's an inline twist in the darkness and then a vertical loop after the launch followed by the Dog Tongue. But then what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
