Intamin 4D for 2007.

Of course, there is no heartline movement whatsoever.
And how sick does that 25 meter mod look[:)].

Originally posted by coolbeans326I'm guessing that any inversions will be caused by the acceration and deacceleration of the ride.

If the trains were weighted at the bottom, then it would probably flip over when there was airtime too.

The specs may seem a little boring, but when I think about it in all actuallity it looks a little exciting. True its not exactly a beast of a coaster, but I think it will hold its own

I'm hoping it packs more of a punch that the picture does *rollseyes*

But maybe the ride wasnt made to give a specif punch or high levels of adrenaline. Im sure if it was, the ride wouldn't be as concept, it would be larger and and it also would be faster.
For me this is more of a thrill ride, a coaster just doesnt seem the right name for it.

I think the major reason for releasing this ride wasnt to be massive or fast or whatever, but to show the world we have caught up with X and Eejanaika (now open at Fuji-Q). Everyone kept saying that X was decades ahead of its time, it was actually only a few years. Because now we are finally hearing about another 4D ride in production, thats in no way related to either of them as far as the designer.

Imagine what could come next[^][^][^]

There were already prototype pictures of this ball coaster posted back like a year ago, by Real I think. Anyone else remember?

That wasnt posted a year ago. I wasnt even here a year ago[:p] But yeah, i remember.

I think that this shouldn't even be a coaster... It's more flat than anything.

yeah... I posted this before i took the time to read the stats... a little dissapointed lmao...

it may be weird to think of it... but wut if it wasnt a ball coaster... could it e intamin's first ever flying coaster.. there are so many things that we can think of.. u never know?! lol

[GRIM.657]

I kinda doubt it... RCDB seems to have fairly exact stats for it, I'd assume its the same as the prototype that was publicized a while ago.

Just because it is small doesn't mean its not a roller coaster.[;)]

layout released! http://www.coastersandmore.de/previews/ ... ster.shtml
They also say that it won't be launched, but actually have a lift (left side of the layout). It also seems obvious that the trains are weighted at the bottom, as riders will sit like in a freefall tower on the last vertical drop (into vertical breaks).

i've seen those pics ages ago, nothing new to me

[GRIM.657]

translation anybody?

thats some werid s^#$ it looks fun tho reminds me of the crappy begginer tiny rides ppl make

That drop that runs alongside the lift looks like itll be a wicked one of the trains tilt freely like ive heard. I dont know why people keep giving this bad rep because the stats arent that good. Ride quality arent determined by stats. As far as im concerned, a ride could have some of the most mediocre stats and still be a favorite in my book.

wow.. um neat.. a bent ferris wheel type thing.. my favorite part is the turns..

I remember seeing those pictures ages ago and it never led to anything. Now im fglad something has finally come of the ball coaster because IMO it looks really interesting. It kind of reminds me between a mix of a wild mouse, a 4D and a Togo Ultratwister. Kind of.

Looks like a fun ride. I hope one comes to the UK or somewhere pretty close soon. [:)]

Cedar Points new roller coaster willl be able to switch between being under and over the track, and a 4d is doubtful, so I am guessing its a flyer and not a ball coaster, but who knows, if Cedar Point dosnt get a ball coaster now, they will get one later.

^They arn't getting a ball coaster period. there are turns on their ride! Look at the pics of the supports. Also why did you bring back this topic when you are talking about cedar point?

^^ Very possible. The rides are planned 2 - 3 years in advance. I'm sure the Linnanm?????????ki version would be build on a bigger scale by other parks in the future but it could take some time. I presume it will happen sooner or later but in the meantime a small park in Finland will be the only park to have this unique coaster.
