Vekoma have designed a new launched coaster

[martinb]

Thats one occasion, I've been to Disneyland Paris loads of times, and not once have I ever known any of the coasters to break down whilst I was there, so IMO Disney are the best at maintaining their rides.

The tophat looks deformed!

 

Acoording to the site that is not a top hat it is "an almost upside dow 140* banked turn"

Why is it that I can see this ride being built within an Aussie Park within the next 5 years.....

[Paul_Hollibone]

Well I can see this happening somewhere (in a country which most of the prototype vekoma's go, IE Australia, Japan, and so on) and you will never see much of it again.

 

Same idea like what happened to the Tilt Coaster.

Wasn't our SLC a prototype??? I think it may have been.

Looks like RnRC with more inversions and without the goofy guitar building.

 

Who cares if RnRC is smooth, take away the theming (building, on-board music, preshow,etc) and the ride is mediocre. I don't see any park ordering a launch coaster from Vekoma (unless it's Disney, but they would they theme it beyond comprehension)

Maybe I'm wrong, but that dosen't look very themed to me. RnRC is comlpetely enclosed with several theming elements throughout the ride.

 

Unless Im wrong , is there some sort of elaborate enclosed station? other than that, the ride looks very "un-themed"

[martinb]

Your correct, I always said that the RNRC was made better by the fast beating music, well the one at Paris also has strobe lights, millions of coloured flashing lights etc so that makes it great, so I imagined that one without themeing it would be dull!

I've never bee to a disney park, and i'm interested to see the layout of RnRC. Can't anyone make a quick recreation on NL?

[martinb]

^^Here you go, this coaster layout is identicle to the RNRC:

IMO the RNRC is a brilliant coaster but if it weren't for the music and theming it would be a bit average as it slows down alot towards the end but the fast paced music keeps it feeling faster, so I imagine this coaster (Xpress, below) must be abit dull towards the end
