coasterlover420 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I've always wanted to have some kind of magnetic force that stopped or reduced G forces some how so you could like launch to 300 MPH in like 1 second... I dream way too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas2 Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I dreamed I built a really huge B&M coaster that was in the clouds and it had floorless trains with lapbars. That ride looked amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherkid17 Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 a floorless stand up coaster....OUCH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 A standup hyper/giga coaster. No need for inversions, but imagine how much air you would get on that thing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollerholden Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 ^ And how painful it could be at the bottom... But really any of these ideas could be possible. 10 or 15 years ago, did anyone even dare think about X, or Top Thrill Dragster? They're going to keep making new designs with ideas like these!

apollo210 Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 A roller coaster with 100 inversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worm Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Something i see within the next 5-10 years is a spinning mauhrer sauhne (sp?) coaster with inversions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Sabo Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 The one that I wish(ed) to come alive is the Arrow 'Pipeline' coaster. I had the priveledge of seeing that ride up-close and personal at the old Arrow factory and I really wish they could have worked out the issues on that ride and get it into production/offer it to parks....Take note S&S.

dchamero Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 So, how about a real coaster, maybe in a building, where you ride wearing LCD glasses so what you see is a 3d image, and for instance when you fall, you see like you are falling over a big cliff or some other place.

steel Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Universal has the rights to the musical "Wicked," so... I thinhk a Universal park needs to make an airtime packed coaster called "Wicked" - the tagline being "Defy Gravity," of course. Maybe when they come to their senses and make it into a movie there will be a better chance of this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDG Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 i have a roller coaster that the seats are inside a ball and they roll around the track just drops and turns Already exists/existed. At "Het Land van Ooit" (translates to "The Land of Ever") in The Netherlands. Riders sat in a ball, similar to those on a bungee-shot ride, which was lifted vertically to about 30 feet, then rolled down a track simlar to that of a rodelbahn. At the end, the ball was rotated until the rider was in an upright position again, to get out. I don't have, nor do I find, any pictures though. So, how about a real coaster, maybe in a building, where you ride wearing LCD glasses so what you see is a 3d image, and for instance when you fall, you see like you are falling over a big cliff or some other place. That existed/exists as well. It didn't have glasses though, but a 15" display inside a helmet-like cover. The ride operated perfectly, with - after a few tweaks - almost no nausea complaints. However, the park got into financial troubles and was closed within a year after it's opening...most of the park, including this coaster, still exists if I'm correct. But no idea if and when it will reopen... http://www.rcdb.com/ig1901.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisted_propaganda Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I'm thinking a stand-up 4th dimesional rollercoaster! Think about it... You could be in little cages instead of seats! And no bicycle seats! That would be "genital-friendly"! But not knee friendly... I wouldn't go on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixflagsmagicmountain Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 ^ why use cages? that would hurt, they could use a system similar to Riddlers Revenge. That would be cool though. How about a 4th Dimensional Eurofighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisted_propaganda Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Sorry, I've held a grudge towards the whole bicycle seat thing. I'm short, so I have to crook my legs so my knees are bentto the right barely, the whole thing is painful for me. Maybe it's just a fat people thing. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingScooter Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Here's what I'd like to see, but never will. A suspended coaster that uses Flyingscooter-like tubs under the track like an Iran Dragon. the differance being this: The Scooter tubs have the adjustable wing making every ride unique. They could make a train up of like 8-10 scooter-tubs, use OTSR's to hold you in. man, i'd love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastakid Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I would love to see a monorail coaster... with inversions that is...I mean it would be kinda cool to have an extremely narrow track running under you. The scary thing is, thats being considered. The fact that monorails are essentially hovering above the track, never touching it, reduces friction by miles and means you can reach fast speeds. I don't know how inversions would work... I suppose if its at a decents speed it would make no difference. However, some cameras screw up around them. Mine can't even handle CA' Screamins launch (LIMs?) its make a strange 'bzzhhzzhHAbhhha' sound... Monorail coasters are real! I have videos of the one from Freedom Land in the Bronx. My grandpas, not mine They went soooo... fast for such small coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Sabo Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Is it the similar style as the Arrow prototype? Do you know the name of the ride or have the link to the rcdb site that shows any pics of it? (Thanks in advance). BGE was really considering in building that prototype ride (around the area where the old Rheinfeld bridge was-where the scrambler ride is now) when it was close to being finished-then Arrow pulled the plug on the project after too many issues and safety concerns *Since several of the posts are mentioning the 4D coaster-concepts and ideas, why not a 4D version of a flume ride? It would certainly be more exciting to develop that into an interesting design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjgx Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I haven't really thought of any crazy ride designs, but my friend suggested the following idea when we were at KBF a few weeks ago: There should be a ride in which a bunch of people sit on a gigantic disk-type thing with seats. Then, a giant robotic arm flings the disk through the air (with no track, etc.)... until it's caught by another robotic arm on the other side of the park. Long story short: Frisbee: The Ride!

odene497 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 A big hyper or giga coaster with a 200 or 250 foot loop. I think huge loops would be awesome also a traveling coaster. One from New york to florida or just really long distances like that. rather than flying, you can just ride a rollercoaster for a few hours through random loops and stuff like that, to get you to your destination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goleafsgo Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 lol, that coastwe would have ti be like 10000000000 feet tall or have launches every mile or so :O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
