Matinee :: B&M Portable

When riding Buster's Megablast (Giovanola portable), I got the idea of making a portable, floorless B&M coaster.. The coaster's name is Matinee, after Franz Ferdinand's song. It already has a JoJo-roll, and some magnetic brakes [:o)] ..

After a mini-launch at 25 kmph, you head into the JoJo-roll:


Magnetic brakes [:o)]:


Twistydrop:


Twistyloop? :


That's all for now.. I hope to get all the trackwork done with the elementary.

Too bad there will never be portable B&M's, nonetheless portable B&M's that are like 150 feet tall.

It looks pretty sweet though. Keep up the good work man. That drop looks wicked!

looking good! nice magnetic brakes... looking forward to riding it

How did you do the magnetic breaks Mikado?

They are 3ds

Seems to be coming along very nicely. The first drop looks very cool, and lots of fun. The twistyloop even loks kinda neat. Kepp up the good work, and let us see a B-E-A-U-ty

Yeah, though this may not be the most pratical and realistic ride, it looks good. The first drop looks very nice!

there actually is a portable B&M, well i think its a B&M. i cant find it on rcdb, but i know that its like blue, and its schwartzkopf kind alayout

Would you be talking about Euro Star, Hepta?

^ thats the one, but im not sure if its portable, i think i read somewhere that it is though, because its not showing up on rcdb

I don't know what Coaster Draft page it's on but Dirk chose that coaster. There is a detailed piece on it in his post.

mmm sexyness

It is portable. It isn't a B&M though.

Under the subproject management of the Intamin AG - which designed and produced the control system - components like the track, the lift and most parts of the electrical system were delivered by Swiss subcontractor Giovanola. The chocks, the sole and the supports were produced by Mannhardt, a company from Germering in the rural district of F?????????rstenfeldbruck in Southern Germany that had to declare bankruptcy during the construction period. So Oscar Bruch founded a hive-off vehicle for the rest of the construction phase to assure completion of his roller coaster.

The components of the trains were produced by a Dutch company, whose name is not ascertainable anymore, while the final assembly was carried out by Giovanola. The cash box area was done by Mack Rides, the station and the exit area by Johann Gerstlauer, whose brother Hubert owns the Gerstlauer Elektro GmbH. The illumination was manufactured by the Pelz company which is located in M?????????nsterhausen, too.

this ride looks pretty sweet

Helloo again [:)]
Today, I finished the part up to the MCBR! Because of the limited area, i had to use the Zerrx-z varialbles in the H:SAK formulas, which makes every turn thight and forcefull [:D] I also began doing some support textures I based them on Buster's, but they're brand new.

Almost circular loop and Immelman.

End of part #1

looking sweet!! i rele like this thing! the supports look exactly like megeblasts [;)]

Sweet supports dude. This coaster will rock.

intamin, do you know who built it then? ive never heard of a 4 across inverter besides a B&M, plus ive never seen a copy of B&M track

It was build by Intamin, together with Giovanola.

BTW, this thing looks really nice! especially the loop looks really interesting! I'm really looking forward to this project to be finished!

Eurostar is the result of so many different companies inputs, all glued together by Oscar Bruch' idea. Stengel even worked on it, so did Schwarzkopf. Thats one of the reasons why it looks so great!
