"Maverick" Construction - CP 2007

Not 4D... Not the right track style, There has to be 4 rails (not including the spine(s)) for a 4D coaster to work, this coaster has only 2.

^ there doesn't have to be. I can't remember the reason why Arrow chose 4 for thier design, but just because thats the way they have done it does not mean that other people can't have different designs to accomplish the same task.

That sign supports WWS's theory that it could be a dueler/racer. Hmmm... Maybe!

Im pretty sure thats not going to happen. There arent enough footers for 2 tracks. But that would still be awesome!

This looks like it could be parallel lifts/lauches...

Hummm, at first I thought thats a station, but thats hella lot of footers in rows, so I donno what it could be. I think the station still might be near there though.

oooh, maybe a dueling rocket coaster? it may be a little short considering the amnt of footers/ footprint thats smaller than most dueling coasters. BUT:

A) It would be that boom dick kinsel was talking about.

B) it would go "in a whole new direction!"

C) if there are flybys, it would be "serious sidewindin!"...so to speak.

Wow. Those have to be dueling/racing footers. I'd say its likely a smaller scale racing coaster, assuming those are footers for supports and not station. Still can't wait to see this one. [:)]

Yea, that does sorta look like it, but what about the rest of the footers?

O rly?

Arrow used 4 rails because 2 of the rails move up/down to define which way the cars rotate, without it the cars would simply swing freely... if you consider that 4D, then i guess it is possible with 2 rails, but for controlled motion, you need 4 (or 3, but that would look wierd)

What about gemini?

I dont know what they're talking about. Maybe the trains have arrived? OR they started construction?

Probably will start construction... they do have supports out there already.

who knows? is there anyone on WWS in close proximity to CP ATM?

Companies can do the same thing in a different way. Like I said before, just because Arrow did it one way doesn't mean another company can't do it another way.

Sort of like S&S's air launch and intamin's hydrolic launch. Different method, but the outcome is the same.

I was but not anymore [:(]
Cjd still works there though and I got several friends still there too.

If any of you are near or at CP atm, maybe you could ride the CP railroad and check out whats happening?

If you guys haven't seen yet vertical construction has been started. There are, as of last night, a few supports starting to go up.

ZOMG, I still think Intamin Inversion breaker, it can't be the ball coaster since it seems like there are horizontal turns in the layout. Unless it's a different Intamin type of ride yet to be reveiled

That would definatly be a change of direction...

LOTS of supports are being erected at the moment. All of the supports are for apparent ground turns so far, and with the large amounts of very similar supports coming, I'm starting to think that a dual-track might not be out of the question. I was unable to get any pictures, however, because my camera is being stupid.

Ahh, those stupid cameras. [^]

[hyyyper]

well, pointXtreme did got some 'erection' pics:

Erection... [:p]

Anyway, I still think this ride isn't break any major records, only for it's type... Which will be AquaTrax... Blah.

[hyyyper]

^record for inversions on an aquatrax would be nice

i was reading at about the ball coaster of intamin when i olwso saw this in the artical:

In Europe there debut two such rides in 2006: Speed Monster at Tusenfryd and Stealth at Thorpe Park - and the rumor mill is buzzing for two other installations in 2007, one with complete new trains, featuring a new ride experience dimension. So it is no wonder that other manufacturers jump on the bandwagon and offer their own launch coasters.

maby that is what they mean whit: we're goin in a whole new direction maby they mean that the train is a complete new
look at the pic's at the same site of a coaster from intamin

the supports are the same and the tracktype olsow the same
