Fastest Coaster to Nurburgerring- 2009; vid- pg. 5

That's quite a long launch.

It's a long launch because it needs to slow down too before hitting the helix, and it needs to pass the bleachers before it hits it, too.

So the launch would just for spectators to see, right?

It could be, or they could've just tore out part of the bleachers to make the launch shorter.

they have new pics on rcdb

winds on this is is same as category 4 hurricane not countig gust at or close to 150-155 mph from natural ordinary breeze. Wind will distort everyone faces in hideous shapes!

i cant weight for this coaster

[gouldy]

you can't weight? That my friend, does not make sense.

I can only hope that you meant "wait"...

New video, really low quality but if this is going to be the final speed when exiting the brakes. Then it's going to be awesome:

That would be awesome

1. Damn.
2. For sure the coolest sounding coaster I have ever heard.

I could see myslef as an Indy driver going down the track and seeing the coaster and being like "ooh, rollercoaster!" and causing like a 10 car crash. Haha.

lol

This is a very cool looking coaster. I do think it's a shame, though, that the brakes must be applied to heavily before the helix thing. Though, that must be going about 70-80 entering the turn.

That looks way faster than expected.

Man, that thing has to have the G's pulled to the limits.
I want to see a video of the launch.

^ Ditto

That's an interesting pre-launch as well.

It speeds up to over 200km/h, then slows down for a turn? That's a bit pointless!

It's done to give it a race experience. Any racecar has to slow down too for a turn.

This ride looks lame.

And we got a graph, it's in German but i'll add some small translation:


- S-Turns: 30km/u max
- High Speed launch to 217km/u
- Travel another 200m on that speed before slowing down to 110km/u
- 35m high Helix turn
- Enter the building with a speed of 85km/u
- Travel another 300m through the building before slowing down and entering the station.

I think it should be a really cool ride. Can't wait until it opens. Launching to 217km/u in a really short amount of time sounds really awesome [:)]

It's a lot longer than i thought it would be

entering a 35m with 110km/u high helix sounds good [:P]

the picture in the background of that graph looks awesome, great angle of the coaster.

For those of you who watch the Formula 1, it's on today at the Nurburgring, you can see the coaster loads when the camera is on the pit straight.

^ I hadn't thought of that! I'ma even watch qualifying today

I was watching it yesterday and noticed it. It looks so much taller when the cameras on the horizon, it really looks like such a cool coaster.
