Dunno how much of this stuff anyone has seen before, I'd seena couple of the things on there, but things like the intamin rocket prototype track, I had not seen. The car on the IRC test track, is especially humourus and I think that they should have made the actual coaster trains like that, far less ... claustrophobic I think [lol]

That Arrow suspended coaster video is pretty cool. That was the best of all of them for me.

Hmmmm, Rain Forest Rollercoaster for Epcot? I wonder what the layout could be if those expansions were ever to take place?

They would have had a testing ground to test the launch on the system. It wouldnt of been too wise selling a ride that costs several million dollars, just to realise that the launch doesnt actualy work as expected. Things need to be tested probaly hundreds of times in the industry to make sure they meet thousands of standards

^ ok now that I'm looking at it, and based off of what you said it makes sense. But I think the hydrolic launch system was developed as a result of Knotts requesting a launch powerful enough to send a coaster 200 feet high in a short ammount of space.

Also, gouldy, I did not see any tits at all. What happened?[confused]
