A Led Zeppelin themed coaster. Now I've heard everything. The coaster actually looks OK though.

I'm not sure if this is 'real' or not, but here is a video of what another coaster at the park might look like.

It just a ride made by Jaraldo.

Pretty cool new though.

bummer, I saw it over on TPR. Looked pretty cool, almost like Revenge of the Mummy.

I saw this article on USA TODAY, but next to it is a picture of the roller coaster in No Limits. I wish they also had the track with it. http://www.usatoday.com/travel/destinat ... htm?csp=34

Is it just me or is that the most boring 1st-half B&M layout so far? Loop, cobra, 0-g, loop and helix with no connecting turns at all? That's too simple for my tastes. It's got no cross-element interaction, no head choppers or well placed helices, just a straight line out and a straight line back. I would have hoped for a bit more creativity. Oh well, I'm sure it'll still be a fun, solid starter ride for this park but... not quite as good as possible.

I recently rode by the park a week ago and there seems to not be any signs of where this is exactly going to go. I saw something that looked like the footers for something(building or track???) They progress looks good though. Im going back out there in two weeks. I only live 2hrs from here. So I will have to keep everyone posted.

This is awesome! I'm glad to see another B&M sit down. I knew another one would eventually come along! Immagine how big this ride really is going to be if its over 150 feet. Think of how big that cobra is... its large!

Also, Unfortunatesmiley- Look at how detailed the model is... just check out those supports! I mean WOW, lol. So obviously the layout might have some turns and transitions not shown.

it's lame.

I can only hope you're right homie, but the concept art showed a similar 1st half layout. In the mean-time, I'll pray that you're right [approve]. In any case, another B&M, (even an uninspired one) can't be bad for the world. [peakhill]

Indeed... indeed

Well the B&M Sitdown looks, well, okay. But we've seen a few new tracks that have had last second layout changes, so like SFMM was saying, we'll probably see something pop-up during more updates.

Also, that Maximum RPM has shown up on RCDB ( http://www.rcdb.com/id3853.htm ) so yes it's a real plan but will it be a spinner?

I hope its a spaghetti bowl.

since nobody else has done this yet..

Looks like the top of it is cutoff, but that is pretty cool. Definatly looks like there is a roller skater at the bottom.

[:D]



















Not official but just what I imagine the ride to be like based on concept arts and that model!

Only one loop after the 0 G I believe.

Jimmy, after the 0g roll there is a loop and a helix...In his model, the helix looks like a tilted loop.

I think the layout blows big time though..yawn

It looks fine, imo, the only problems is it looks way short.

Ohhsss woopsie.

I'm just happy its a regular looper and not a floorless. There are plenty of floorlesses but only three sit down with floor loopers i can think of wildfire, that dragon ride somewhere in japan i forget its name and kumba.
I have not ridden a floorless but there are adaquite floorlesses.

Wild Fire, Hulk, Dragon Khan (at Port Aventura Spain, not Japan[;)]), Kumba, and now this.[:)]

Thank you i forgot dragon kuans name and forgot hulk all togeather.

Well, if Aerosmith can have a coaster .... why not Zep?
