LOL!!! I have a more realistic idea: It's like that pipeline coaster, but the cars can swing. I'll make a rendering in anim8tor if I have time...

well I guess if god created the universe in 7 it could be done ahah


Arrow is a company, not a God.

^ [worship] agreed lol

I actually had the same idea about the swinging cars when i tried to design a more reasonable 4d-concept.
My design was also set like pipeline coaster with 4 seats, 2 back-to-back in each car. Of course it wouldnt be as intense as X or as huge, more like a wild-mouse coaster, but it could do some pretty cool stuff.

Yes, the cars would be able to flip around their horizontal axis simply by means of a counter-weight on the bottom, thats the whole point.
Whats you definition of a 4d? A ride that opens a space-vortex and transfers your molecules in a new dimension?

No, the swinging pipeline I was talking about swings like a suspended, not a 4d. Gosh.

Oh, ok, then we're talking about two different things, sorry [sillyme]

This looks interesting though:

That looks stupid, no park is gonna waste that much money so guest can have the feel that they're in a "hover craft"

It can do a lot more than that. It can swing from side to side, under total control.
I don't see them build a real rollercoaster in near future, but I could see a park investing to create a dark ride/themed attraction with that technology.
