A while ago I thought of a ride that would launch under compressed air and waterand made a drawing. I've updated the plans a few times and drew a layout last night for a possible water launch ride. I thought also it could be made by either S&S Power or Intiman. Please leave your comments about this.

P.S. How much does a 5 car 2 seat hyper coaster weigh?

Also there is a slight problem with moving parts, steel and water

Thanks for the weight. For the steel and water, in the station and launch track their is a plastic tube-like trough that the water will fall into. It would be a five car train, but then connected to the last ar would be the launcher that looks like a rocket engine but it would be the size of one car(so I guess I'll need the weight of a six car train with 2 seats). But to make the launch actually work, their would a stopper ( it would be like a big block that will fold down into the track). All the necessary track pieces have been designed. They are the trough pieces, stopper piece for the laucnh, and a piece of track that has a big oval in it. That piece of track is for the air tank located under the station to fill up the launcher with the air after the water is added. To make sure the air actually gets to the launcher, thier is something like an upside down funnel that will be under the launcher. The water will come from an air tank located either above or next to the launcher. Their would also be little electronic hinges to let the air push the water out. If you have any more questions, please reply.

Hey man, just let me say welcome to the forums. I'll give you a quick hint. Try to avoid triple posting.(3 posts in a row) Theres an edit feature you can use to add to what you say if no one has responded below you.

For your idea, i'm not sure if it would work, but I encourage you to go after it! It'll be interesting to see what you come up with.

I have taken the pictures on my cellphone. Some of them are the whole paper and others are smaller closer pictures so you can see some of the details. I had to go over alot in black marker because most of the writing wouldnt show up, so if you have any questions about the pictures. I'll try to keep each picture together in the right category. BTW does anybody know how to transfer pictures from a cell phone to the internet and how to get on this site?

I think it was just the website I used. I'll try to figure out how to make them bigger.
