J man Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 How have I not seen this thread before?!?!? Â I have always wanted to know what rides on the moon are like! And now I know!!! Or at least I think I do. Although I'm still curious about the structural integrity of cheese. Â This thread should be the encyclopedia of all things moon ride related.

Moose Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 The structural integrity of cheese depends entirely on the type of the cheese. I.E. Parmesan is much more able to withstand the forces put on it from rides than a goat cheese. Â mmmm, cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplepills Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 ^Yes but everyone knows the very best kind of cheese is melted cheese, however this provides very little structural strength. Â I suppose they could always make a flume using melted cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantrip Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 One thing for sure is that drop towers would be super slow and boring, although it would be a beautiful sight to look up at Earth while on a roller coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brilinjo Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20091113/ts_afp/sciencespaceusmoon  Finally, we can build an aquatrax on the moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyweird Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 One thing for sure is that drop towers would be super slow and boring, although it would be a beautiful sight to look up at Earth while on a roller coaster  Actually, you would still feel the same weightlessness riding a drop tower on the moon that you would feel on earth, even more so since the moon lacks an atmosphere, eliminating air resistance.

hyyyper Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Because I am sick and at home with nothing to do, I figured out that if you were to build Kingda Ka on the moon, the launch speed would just be 50mph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 They could build a sex theme park entirely for the purpose of naming it "Poon on the Moon" Â ...Yeah, I consider myself pretty classy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 ^This could be the theme song  We went to the moon in 1969 not 1968 but the year after.  OMG, some catchy even stevens lyrics + moon Chinese sex theme parks + my immature mind = amazing.

robbalvey Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Do you think Moonsault Scramble would have been better.... Â [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=MoonsaultPOV_1[/coastertube] Â On the moon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 ^Sadly, with 1/6 the gravity, there'd be 1/6 the Vekoma brain crushing force killing power that it had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 ^ If it were a Vekoma that would be true! Â Which leads me to ask... Â What would Vekoma's be like...ON THE MOON??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 ^Oh it's not a Vekoma? My nerdyness has failed me oh so miserably  A Vekoma on the moon eh? Well your head would already explode from the lack of air pressure, so they'd pretty much be pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I think its too forceful for the moon. The moonites would need to build it specially. The forcefulness of the ride would make Master Shake's lid come off, resulting in the spilling of his brain. Then the moonites would require boob sacrifice as their is no money on the moon. In short moonsault scramble would be terrible because of the moonites. However, I am the master of the moon, so I could build it based off a video game. Thank god for adult swim. Â Â If they put space mountain on the moon do you think they would bother theming it, or just leave it open? Would there be earth mountain?

ITzEPiiC Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I think this thread will never die... Â Very cheesy and um...out of this world...thats what they'll be like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu1651 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Boob flume on the moon could happen! I mean, they've found water, haven't they? Â Also, being on the moon wouldn't make a Vekoma any better. On the other hand, you'd have an INSANE amount of airtime if you rode a B&M Hyper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Wow, I missed this a coulpe of months ago...but looks like getting know what rides would be like on the moon might become a reality thanks to my ex-boss, Richard Branson!

154bmag Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Would a TOGO or RCCA be any smoother on the moon, Vekoma, that I can see as smooth(sometimes)but what about those too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon8899 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I guess they won't be much smoother as the bangs would be still bad.... Â On the other hand coasters would be much taller as the gravity is lower....on the other hand you'd compensate for the heavy EVA suits....

Gutterflower Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 People have been complaining about the new super long brake runs on the new B&M coasters but I think everyone has missed the true reason. Â Isn't it obvious? These rides were never meant for Canadas Wonderland and Dollywood, they were meant for the moon where there is no air resistance and rides lose speed slower so they need longer brake runs. Â It all fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Only problem with your theory is with the lessened force of gravity the rides' max speed would be lower. But then again, you may be onto something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazekiddd Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 ^But at least you'd always have pretty much 0 Gs, even on the lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
