redfoot12 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Now that we have a soft open, time to make my plans to visit this place this summer. Looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrachenfireOP Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Wow this thing looks awesome. One thing; The Inverted Loop is just so Wrong it's Awesome! By the time you think, "when are we going to Invert?" BAM! You Invert immediately in the Dive! Forgive my ignorance, but where is the inverted loop? Is that what they're calling the dive loop? I just watched a POV and I see an immelmann, a dive loop, a cutback and/or overbank depending on who far it inverts, and then two inline rolls. I know different manufacturers call different elements different things, so it gets hard to keep up sometimes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The Inverted loop is the first Immelman. It does look weird/awesome to ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonskinny12 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The Inverted loop is the first Immelman. It does look weird/awesome to ride! It's definitely unique, and with the size and shape I think I like it more than any other Immelmann I've experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linearinduction Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Cannibal's Inverted Loop is VERY Different than an Immelmann Inversion. While they may look similar in nature, when you ride it, you see the difference. I also don't know why RCDB Insists the Overbanked Turn/Immelmann Turn is an Inversion. Of course, trying to get RCDB to change anything is like banging your head against a brick wall. I have no idea why they still won't change Fire Dragon's Opening Year from 1984 to the Correct Year of 1983, when they have been supplied with Lagoon's Press Packet and Newspaper Articles. The same also goes for BomBora, as in numerous articles it is stated that Lagoon Designed it, not ART Engineering. By their reasoning, every Intamin should have Stakotra and/or Rutin as their Make.

coasterkyle Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 A little nitpicky, I see. Do you also correct random strangers in line when you hear them say the wrong facts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linearinduction Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 A little nitpicky, I see. Do you also correct random strangers in line when you hear them say the wrong facts? People don't call it anything. The experience is very different than an Immelmann Inversion, however, the Fun & Safety Guide does refer to it as "an Immelmann-like Loop" and "Switchback Rolls," instead of Inverted Loop and Lagoon Roll. Again, those who have ridden Cannibal can attest that an Inverted Loop is different than an Immelmann Inversion....it's Totally F'd Up! Dal Freeman, Dustin Allen, and Aaron Jarrett should be locked up in an Asylum for Cannibal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 What makes the first element so different than an Immelmann? They look exactly the same to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linearinduction Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 What makes the first element so different than an Immelmann? They look exactly the same to me. I've never experienced an Immelmann Inversion that wasn't quick in it's Entrance or with such a Steep pullout. The best way to describe it is you are waiting to invert.......then you get hang time while you invert while steeply diving towards the ground in a split second. It's unlike anything I've ever experienced on any other coaster or on any other Immelmann Inversion. It's like a drawn out very stretched out and tall loop with a steep heartline roll IN the pull out. I've never had sensory overload on a coaster and such disorientation since Maverick, and not to the extent of Cannibal. A little nitpicky, I see. Do you also correct random strangers in line when you hear them say the wrong facts? Have you ridden Cannibal yet Luke? How else would you describe the difference from your experiences on every other "Immelmann-like" Inversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've missed the point, but I'll answer your questions anyway. Yes, I've ridden Cannibal. I do not have a high coaster count so the only even remotely similar element I've experienced on another coaster is that "dive loop" on Manhattan Express, which is by far the absolute worst thing I've ever experienced on any coaster, Cannibal's "Immelmann-like" element is great so there's no comparison. (btw, the point was, what difference does it make in your life how RCDB lists Lagoon's coasters?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It annoys me that Dal Freeman isn't getting his Due Credit for many Arrow Coasters, Wicked, BomBora, and Cannibal, Dustin Allen isn't getting his Due Credit for BomBora and Cannibal, Arron Jarret isn't getting his Due Credit for Cannibal, and Lagoon and it's Ownership and Management their Due Credit for Pulling it all off In House. I'm also very detail oriented with maybe a little OCD sprinkled on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil009 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 It's not that nitpicky. RCDB is supposed to be an "authority", obviously when you see wrong info you'd expect them to eventually correct it. What's the point of having the site if the info on it is going to be wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbrandoj Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Another new video posted, this one is 4K, so you can see quite a bit of the theming in the ride area itself (statues, the little stone path over the tunnel, etc). This is going to be a really pretty coaster when the landscaping fills in I think! [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 ^ Looks like an awesome coaster!! I love the way it interacts with the waterfall feature! Can't wait to try this out some day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFrombaugh Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The drop right after the Dive Loop (0:35 in the video) looks like it's got some insane ejector air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linearinduction Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The drop right after the Dive Loop (0:35 in the video) looks like it's got some insane ejector air. You get Ejector Air (Not Extreme Ejector Air) plus it's got that little unbanked curve to it. Super Fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the quality, although I wish they would have started it from inside the station. The elevator lift up is one of the best parts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 What about the Dive Loop entrance, Sid? Don't you get airtime on the left seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linearinduction Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 What about the Dive Loop entrance, Sid? Don't you get airtime on the left seats? I've only ridden on the Right 2 Seats on all 3 Rows, so I can't speak for the left side of the Train, but the right is definitely floaty going into the Diving Loop. UPDATE: Rode in the Front Left Seat Last Night, and while there are really no bad seats, Front Left is the BEST Seat. The way Cannibal was running last night, there was Ejector Air entering the Diving Loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
