rcjp Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 ^Looks impressive in the skyline, i wonder why they decided not to go over 400ft with the height though, unless there's a restriction? Well, I don't know anything about restrictions, but it will already be by far the tallest coaster in Europe. Going higher would add more cost, but I don't see it adding much (if any) in terms of attendance. In addition pretty much every country in Europe use meters instead of feet, so the 400 ft limit doesn't mean anything to Europeans. For us the "magical limit" is 100 meters, if the ride is 112 meters or 122 meters will not mean much in terms of marketing. This of course is only speculation from my side... I agree. As much as I'd love to see it go higher than (or as high as) kingda ka it's already pretty far from any other coaster in Europe (in terms of height) and yes, 400 ft doesn't really mean anything. I doubt there will ever be a ride here like fury 325 as it's 99 meters tall (nearly 100) while 325 feet isn't close from any "mark". Also, interesting to see it's using double spine track on the tower. However from the supports I'm starting to think there will be no twist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 It won't impact the ride experience at all... I totally get that, but god that's one ugly, stupid looking brake run. Why the dumb jump after a ton of trims for absolutely no reason? It's killing my OCD. Leviathan's reign of dumbest looking brake run ever has come to an end.

Why the dumb jump after a ton of trims for absolutely no reason? It's killing my OCD. I agree. I know it's not going to impact the ride experience but I really don't get the point of the jump at the end of the brake run either. It's like they started to design a brake run like Top Thrill Dragster's, and then decided they wanted Kingda Ka's (airtimeless) airtime hill but instead of re-designing the entire brake run they just threw a random speed bump in half way through the brake run. I really... REALLY don't get the point of the design on this brake run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 See the coaster is built on a downwards terrain? If they are building a brake run like TTD, the end of the brake run will be very close to the ground, the supports will have to handle a huge amount of stress from the deceleration of the train; Or the drop would more high-raise thus the already tight 270 degrees twist would be even tighter and the cost of the 3 spine track, extra support height and lateral supports will add quite a lot to the budget. Or maybe they need the space under the brake run because the park is very tiny in the first place. If they build it like Kingda Ka, maybe the park does not want to pay for an extra hill, or the space this coaster occupies is not long enough for the extra length of the pull up. Either way, this is probably the most cost-efficient design, it might look weird but whatever works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 ^ Makes more sense now. I didn't even notice the terrain before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K1ngdaKa88 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I'm wondering for what these extra supports are on the tower! Will that be for these Ferari banners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hydra Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Haven't been following this as closely as I probably should be, but will this have the 270 degree twist on the way back down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarlaKoaster Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 That's a shame! Can't be too fussy as it is a huge coaster, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanTPM Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 ^Really strange seeing it using Double and Single spine track going up the tower compared to the box track were used to on the stratas. Not sure i like the look as much this way, although it seems like it'll be a fantastic coaster regardless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I personally think that this double/single spine track looks WAY better than Intamin's standard 4/3-tube track. The colors also look fantastic. Can't wait to see it topped off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabri999 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Actualmente, ya se ha dado forma a 4 de los 7 tramos de los que constará la espectacular atracción, llegando a los 65 metros de altura construidos, de los 112 totales. "Now are builded 4 floors of the 7 will have the coaster. Now the four floors are 65 meters, the other three will complete the 112 meters" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arn'O Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Update from PAC. They have builded next floor on ground and lifting that in One piece? There you can see fifth floor built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projektion Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 My guess is they need a taller crane for the next bit and to avoid renting it for a few weeks they'll just lift it all up in 1 or 2 goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
