What Now Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I have to admit, Patriot is purty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immel Man Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 It looks a lot better than the layout rendering suggested. The immelman-spiral combo is pretty cool like on Talon. Patriot probably won't be one of the better inverts, but I think it could surprise a lot of people. Don't know how I feel about the red seats with red restraints look though.

Freefallbestrideever Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Yah, they should of used blue restraints and removed the yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollerdude Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 They really did a great job with the paint job on this. I really love the racing stripe on the track. I hope we will see that more often. That drop looks like amasing from that angle too. I don't like the trains too. I don't think they should have done the restraints red. If they did blue, I would think that there would be too much. Maybe white? That would get too dirty. Black? Un-American, but so is yellow. I just dont get it.

CoasterPeep7 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 That looks like a fun ride! Thanks for posting the link CoasterPeep7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy618 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 The coaster doesn't look fun to me, I don't like the colors either. The only thing I like about this thing is the trains. I love those colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I think this coaster will be underated in the end. It doesn't look bad. It's a nice solid ride with a decent layout. It also looks tighter than Silver Bullet, so ya know, it may suprise people. But it seems to get slated alot. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDMAMBA Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 No doubt, I can't wait for test runs to start soon. Talon has a 120 foot drop into a 98 foot loop. Patriot has a 123 foot drop into an "89" foot loop. You figure the rest. Plus the ride goes lower and lower to the Immelmen loop which is also very tight. Then the initial angle into the High banked spiral is severely steep. Almost an inclined loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verticalzero Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Patriot is one of the best looking coasters around, awesome paintwork. Nemesis should of been painted red/white/blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollerdude Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Wow, the paint job looks kool. Reminds me of like 4th of July. lol. I think its supposed to seeing that it's called the Patriot, its painted red, white, and blue, its in the Americana section of the park, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I'm not doubting anything, but from the looks of it, this will probably have less forces than SB. It still looks pretty sweet though! ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonLord Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 It is a pretty good looking coaster, however is doesn't quite make me feel like....say....Natalie Portman. Kudos to WOF for sprucing up a pretty basic invert layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
