Fuji-Q 4D Coaster!

Either thats the worlds most insane head chopper or there are going to be serious problems[lol]

^finally a real headchopper, not those fake ones

so far it looks much like the beginning of X, except i dont think X dives all the way back down to the ground after the half loop does it?

X drops pretty much to ground level- http://www.rcdb.com/ig750.htm?picture=21

That definetly is the first drop. I guess my layout is pretty darn close so far.

Yeah, so it's basicaly an X clone...

^
Starting to look that way. A mirror image is what it looks like so far. If that is the case this is a bit dissapointing. Seems they could have done something origonal at least for the first S&S design.

Two new pictures;

Latest news update;


The vertical first drop and the first raven turn have been completed on Fuji-Q's new 4D roller coaster. Workers are also saying that the coaster will top out at 80 meters.

I hoped it would immediately go into a reverse raven turn off the lift, so there is no pre-drop, it just goes right into a half loop, it would scare the crap out of ya!

that new 4d coaster look not bad for now, but i hope its a cool ride after they are done building it.

Man, many of those supports in that low area are really close together. If S&S use the same trains Arrow did, then there sure will be a lot of forces on the track.

The supports do look pretty close together, but not as far away as I thought they would, pretty scary...

Anyway, it looks like after the flippy thing it'll fly-by the station and go into another fly-to-lie thing and then a outside Raven-Turn and then a fly-to-lie and into the brakes.

They are sooo lucky, I hope CP get's a 4-D coaster...

I wonder how different the trains will be. Theres gotta be some major change they made to fix the problems.

Look everybody! It's pumps, YAY!

LOL. Its looking so awesome! I hope its better than X, as i want to see S&S do so much more with the 4d.

^^ I noticed that aswell, I assume it's designed to give some sort of effect when combined with the spinning.

Can you say Jakizles layout a few pages back is correct so far?

I think I hit the nail on the head with it. I may have labeled my elements a little off, but my layout is close. I have that prelift turn right, the lift, drop, and raven, and if you look on tpr theres a pic of another raven by the other one. This pretty much ensures me that the turnaround will go around the lift and over the station. Just like I had in the layout!

Actually, I didnt see anything of another Raven. There probably will be but I dont see it.

What I do see are supports that will hous the Full-Full which is a full twist with a full rotation instead of the Half-Half that X has.


Im leaning towards an updated layout of X which shouldnt have been hard to guess since the space is rather small.



Now whats really intriguing me is that there are ALREADY footers going in at CP and theres only 2 type of rides you install footers early for:

Very VERY tall rides like TTD
Very VERY heavy rides like X


I could handle having a 4D at CP...but man, would it ever have to be perfected or it would be worse than Wildcat in capacity.

I already called a Bnm 4d for CP...I want to see that happen so bad.

I'll go find that pic showing another raven(outside)

Here it is. Last post of this page:

Yea, thats is a TIGHT radius. It almost scares me. It looks painful.

^perhaps not combind with a twist or low speed

I think thats a very gutsy move on CF's part if they decide to put one in before they can improve capacity. X at SFMM on slow days still can have over an hour wait do to the slow wait times.

Although it is possible that they have infact improved capacity issues, which I think was the biggest issue of all.

^its a long shot. But man, why pour footers now? Either theres a ton, or, they want time for them to cure because construction will take awhile.

Who knows. For all we know they could have thought "hey, well throw in a few footers really early to dick with everyone."


Wouldnt suprise me either.

They are Chinese, they got surprises going eight ways from Sunday.

Agreed. I only have been on X once, but the waiting was horendous. The line started right around the bend before they send you to either side of the station to get on the ride, and the wait was still 45 minutes. Even with 2 trains. But if its a BnM 4d, who knows what they could have figured out over the last 4 or 5 years while X went through all its problems.
