gerstlaueringvar Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 ^ I think what people feel on board is the composition of vertical and lateral forces. The entrance of Arrow corkscrews are overly banked but the positive G makes the lateral G feel less than it actually is. The feeling of strong lateral G can be lessened with heavier vertical G. So I guess Kanonen's heartline roll entrance give a bit of positive G to reduce the sideways hanging sensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Any more updates lately? I'm interested in seeing the "jungle theme" for Cannibal. I love when a coaster is heavily themed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Here are the latest images of the theming, for you TPJunkie. Thanks to LagoonisFun. Here is the final helix, which looks very great and I'm sure will lead to some serious g's! And from Lagoon's Facebook page, we got this picture of a new intriguing track piece. We all are assuming this will be some sort of trim brakes, but the fact is those are actually LSMs. Trims are copper-colored fins (look at the one on the drop), those are bigger white electromagnets. Plus you can spot the electrical armors underneath the track, and a guide-rail for sensors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatsu_dude Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Nothing has been revealed thus far for how the trains will be getting up that tower, correct? Could the LSMs be for a vertical launch up the tower a la Wicked? The park has said they are taking inspiration from Wicked to use in the new coaster, so it wouldn't be much of a stretch. Plus there's still that secret element... Makes total sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has already been confirmed it will be an elevator lift, and the park hasn't said they got inspiration from wicked with this coaster, only that it seems some inspiration comes from Wicked. The biggest similarity is that they are both designed by Dal Freeman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdude Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Just when I thought I knew what this was going to be, Lagoon pulls another surprise out. LSMs on a curved piece of track? Given what's left to go up, it almost seems like the ride might boost you into the helix for extra g-force or over a hill for extra airtime.

ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Amazing pictures! And I just love the details on the temple, it's breathtaking! I wish I could visit this year, but I doubt it. Hopefully soon in the near future. 2016 NEAR FUTURE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given what's left to go up, it almost seems like the ride might boost you into the helix for extra g-force or over a hill for extra airtime. It is bound to be some magnetic trims. If this turns out to be an actual launch of some type during the middle of the course, you could say that's the surprise they are keeping secret. They really could go either way with it! Lagoon, we give you Cannibal, but wait, THERE'S MORE! SURPRISE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shavethewhales Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I love that they're not only taking it to the next level ride-wise, but also theme-wise. Theming really sets places apart and makes rides special. It's worth every penny to make this ride into a total immersive experience. I was just looking at deals to fly to Denver later this year for a short trip. Really seriously considering trying to figure out how to add on a SLC add-on somehow. If the reviews are stellar, it might just win me over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Talking about expensive theming..? (Source: LagoonIsFun) It's the waterfall display, in which the helix will go in and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbrandoj Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I can't believe this hasn't been posted yet. Not my video, but thought ya'll would love seeing this monstrosity close up! You get a good look inside the top of the elevator lift as well as a nice fly-through of the first inversion. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I just watched a video on YouTube, and OMG, that first inversion on Cannibal is massive! I MUST include this park in my travel plans for 2015. It's so worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenbowl Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Here's a new update on Cannibal. The pictures from Superdude123 on lagoonisfun.com The dive loop on top of the station is going up as well as the odd dip afterwards! Notice the finned piece of track lagoon posted earlier is in the valley after the dive loop and before the next element (an overbank through the immelman). You can see just the beginning of the fins after the dip on track behind the waterfall structure. There's been speculation as to whether the LSMs are braking or accelerating.

Fooz Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Is the helix theming pointing outside of the park? It doesn't seem visible from anywhere off-ride, and it seemed pretty extensive in the concept art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was imagining the queue will wrapping back there too. We will see, but I'm sure the park will want to show off everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
