Screw you two Austin and David., I'd rather go to this place insted of SFFT! Well Spain is on my "Might do in 2007" list, so I might ride the angry Wine God coaster insted of a Boomerang!

[GURZU]

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!! Is... IMPREESSSSIONANT!!!!!

 

The Inline is very very big, aprox. more 100 metres long, the layout finnish comming... but, wait... The theming.... will are....

 

P.D: This coaster isn´t Maverick... Haven´t lift, haven´t height, and the trains are win-walkers....

 

 

In Spain we thought the same.... but now... no

[Virdu_]

Wow! I like it!

Her you have a nice shot of the InLine(Thanks to TICH):

 

I really like it, but I continue thinking that the layout is very Small...

OK... every slope will be a little airtime because of the trains

 

News News News!

A worker("kNkN" at Capte) has informed us, and the Wing Walked Trains are in the Park!

They are dismantled but they're. And the motor are in the park, too.

The plans say that the layout will be finished in November/December, and ThinkWeel will work very hard four months.

Hi people!

 

First: sorry for my english, its so bad, because i´m spanish.

 

yes, the trains are in the park! but, are Dismantled now? (the information is of a few days ago)

 

 

The coaster looks awesome, the track go really near of the terrain, the sensation is going to be incredible!

in this pic we can see how near goes the track.

 

Probably this weekend i go to the park, and i´ll take photos of the construction!

 

bye!

[TICH]

Ah, virdu, thanks for put my pictures here during this time!

[Vekoma Fan Boy]

Welcome to the Forums! I can't wait to see pics of the trains!

[TICH]

thanks vekoma fan boy!

 

I can't wait to see pics of the trains!

I don´t know if we will be able to see them soon, Possibly we can´t see them this year, because wee don´t know where are the trains (i hope to be wrong)

I like this coaster.... I like ride it! lol

[COASTER FREAK 11]

Awsome pics. The track look a lot bigger than normal triangle track from Intamin.

[Corkscrewed]

Whoa, totally missed the footers in the water. I was at the park last Sunday (the 20th), utilizing a free day on our Spain trip. Port Aventura is gorgeous, by the way. Kind of the European IOA, although I make that statement having never been to IOA...

 

Anyway, yeah. There's a launch and part of an inline twist... it looks pretty cool.

I think thats because of the speed its going at plus the weight of the trains may be heavier than usual so its bigger to reinforce it.

 

OR the park dont like sguare track so they enlarged the triangle instead

[TICH]

!PIC! PICS! PICS!

 

 

!awesome airtime! we´re going to fly!!

Blue! I hate blue coasters.

 

 

Anyway, it looks really cool so far. I still don't understand it though. all speed and nothing else interseting? No Top Hat? Interesting.

[coasterdude5]

It looks great, but the selling point for me will be the trains!!

[yankees15]

The coaster is looking great so far, but I just don't think the layout is going to be exciting which could bring the ride down a little. But I'm sure it will still be a great ride.

[dr.gumbo]

Its a very pretty rollercoaster and it isnt even finished yet!

[Virdu_]

Nice pics.

The colour is almost perfect because of the zone is located the coaster, it's simillar to Speed Monster(Tusenfryd) and I like the colours very much.

But I've got a question...

 

 

These are the brakes?

Or is it the acceleration zone?

[TICH]

The brakes.

[yankees15]

Yes those are the breaks. But why do they look so old and rusty? I know Storm Runners arn't like that and that ride is 3 years old!

[Rider117]

Aren't they copper? If they are, thats why they look so rusty.

[yankees15]

^ Yes I know they are copper but they have those "spots" of stuff that looks like rust and I don't remember Storm Runner or Ka having those "spots".

[Golfie]

They probably shave the fins down during testing to achieve optimal braking.

[yankees15]

^ I never heard of that before but it would make sense.

 

I still don't know because if you look at mavericks break fins they are very shinny and don't have those "spots" on them, but I guess CP could have already shaved the fins down. http://maverick.cedarpoint.com/latest/gallery/ (the second picture in the second row)

[dementedguy]

You sure that's the brake run? It looks like the launch zone to me. Aren't those things below the brake fins hydraulic pistons. I think those brake fins are the retractable anti-rollback ones you find on Intamin Rocket Coasters.

[Astat]

You never know, the whole "distressed" look on the fins might just be part of the ride themeing.
