The BGW Three-Some

i heard somewhere that they made a deal with B&M for 3 coasters

anyways, as i posted on another topic, a friend who happens to be a mechanic, says he heard it will be an "Straight up and Straight down" roller coaster.

If it happends to be a B&M 4D, it will infact be in 2007, because another contact i have is an engineer for Henderson Inc. which happens to be the firm that helped build Apollo's Chariot, he said that they have a big progect at BGW in 2007, so keep your hopes up!


My own personal disclaimer:
Not by any means is this a fact, it is only what i have heard from respectable people and what i choose to share.


Umm your full of poop?

I don't like speculating or imagining what a coaster company will do in the far ahead future.

The launched floorless coaster. That would be something really new and original.


Pfff, any idea of how much that would hurt. Remember....floorless......there is no floor. Thus bending your legs right round your backside with the accel g's. Not a good idea.

Throughout the whole 5 times i visited IOA on vacation, the Hulk never broke down once, and thats a launched coaster. So if they use the same 'Fly-wheel' prepoulsion system, their rides would stay reliable.
And every park seems to want a rocket coaster these days. So i'm thinking a launched B+M coaster 'is' a good idea.

A reliable, launched coaster, what more d'ya want eh?[:P]

Hulk broke down on me once. Just before it started to launch upwards it stalled. But it was fixed in a less than a minute, and when it did launch, it was WAY more powerful. I guess that must have been to get it to the top of the hill incline at full speed, having been a fair bit higher up than usual. Best brakedown ever [:p]
