Moonsault Scramble

[Coasterkidmwm]

Myself and a couple of staff members on Thrillnetwork are recreating the infamous Moonsault Scramble coaster that was once located at Fuji-Q Highlands.
------------------------------
Fun Facts:
~First roller coaster to break the 200ft barrier (No it was not Magnum, be quiet, get over it)
~70M tall, and the base of the ride is 90X180M.
~Ride flys through the pretzel loop at 70mph
~Pulls 6.2 G's
~The trains are facing backwards, so when riding Moonsault Scramble, you travel through the pretzel loop backwards first.
~The ride was designed by Meisho, and the parts were supplied by Vekoma.
~If you choose to use Googles image search engine, turn up the porn blocker settings, SafeSearch, BEFORE searching, as this will save you from being visually assaulted multiple times from Japanese artwork.

They look odd like that in real life.

Wow, thats quite wierd, just earlier today I was thinking about doing this ride, ahwell, I'll have to pick another one to do

this ride looke really kewl. i think it will be a good recreation.

very cool ride to recreate. I can't wait till it's done!

Ahh, that looks a very close rec you got there! well done so far. I have this ride on video, and that pretzel loop is very fast! Also, can i advise you that the first lift is very slow! The hills look exactly right, they must have been really hard to get correct!

I have the lift at 3mph, and it hauls through the pretzel. Hits around 70mph. I'll be releasing the ride next week.

How are the lateral g's going into that inversion?

[Coasterkidmwm]

Honestly not that bad despite the lack of a heartline. The max is .7, and that's a small brief spike.

Added 4 more screens, the vertical spikes are now supported, and all that needs to be done is the 3Ds station and the ice rink/go kart track around the ride. Link is above in the first post.

Nice. I'm surprised the lat's arn't higher than that.
It is looking very good so far, nice job.

Thank you very much for the support, the ride is nearly finished, and will be released Sunday.

I cant wait for this to be released, i heard the g forces are very strong on this ride, so i hope you re-create the g forces well.

[Coasterkidmwm]

I nailed them exactly, 6.2 G's. It'll be released Sunday.

Its that why the roller-coaster had to be brought down?

and maintaince costs I think.

Looking good!

I have always loved the supports for this thing. They are awesome.

Re minds me of a big metal eye!

The supports on the lift are also looking very accurate. This looks a very accurate rec now. Cant wait. Well done so far!

[Coasterkidmwm]

It was taken out because of high maintenence costs, and it was down more than it was up. Dodonpa was the Moonsault replacement.

Look for the ride tomorrow!
