According to the official website it will be the fastest coaster ever. The video claims 149MPH... Holy S***

MMM, another high quality POV brought to you by Intamin! I thought iSpeed was going to be the best looking one to date, but I stand corrected.

Well I'm not sure if the youtube is official, but this coaster looks awesome.

WOW!!!!!!

Intamin?

That thing looks a bit forceful. I don't think the sim is too accurate. But holy S*it! 149 MPH?

149 mph . . . that's unreal. I can't imagine ever getting to go to Abu Dhabi though.

*drool*...

149 mph launch AND a complete layout with an apparently insane about of airtime? OOOOMMMMMMGGGGG!!!!!! Why does it have to be in freaking Abu Dhabi? No fair!!!

They have to build a 160 MPH one in the US now

^ I agree. Every major country should have a super city.

Give people who have no coaster experience a super high tech intamin prototype.

I can see the frustration already building...

Well it's definitly Intamin.

Not only that, but this seems like the only 100 MPH+ coaster which really uses that speed properly. Plenty of airtime, and an otherwise insane layout. Not just a tophat and airtime hill, or worse, putting on the brakes immediately and going over 1 or 2 turns like ring racer.

I really hope this is true. Although the no-limits sim makes we wonder if it's real.

I think Jake told me some kinda official site noted that speed as of a while ago.

If you look, early in the video, there's actual pictures of what's already built at about the ten second mark.

^ Your name has the coasters speed limit in it, lol. Just something random I noticed. I'm pretty damn tired, lol.

And this looks nuts!!! too bad both of these fast coasters are so far away. [:(]

I am excited for this, even though I'll never get to ride it. I just have to say though, it is stats like 149 mph that piss me off very much. If you are going to build a ride, and the round even number of 149.129086 just so happens to come up as the speed in MPH, why the F~(K wouldn't you just shoot for 150?!?!

Anyway, hope it's real. It's nice to know we are still testing limits.

So it's almost a mirrored version of Rita and Desert race only they multiplied it in size by 400%

This just looks stupidly crazy!

I was going to point out what haydawg has alreayd pointed out. At 12 seconds in the video there is a photograph of the ride and "park" as it is now, as you can see, the ride is almost completed in terms of trackwork.

Trains:





Go to the page below, about half way down there is some photos of the ride and also of the F1 building, the building is more impressive than the coaster

EDIT:

I love this map of the position of the UAE in the world, I found it on the official web page. It's how the world SHOULD look [:P]

That thing looks INSANE! finally a coaster with speed which doesn't slow down just after the launch...

[Coasterkidmwm]

If only Cedar point was run by oil lords....

i thought we all came to accept that it was built by premier months ago... what's up with the intamin theory again?

It's made by Intamin. Check out Intimidator 305 then get back to us.

Take a look at the restraints on the trains as well, seems awfully alot like Intamin style otsr[B)].

New rule, STOP building rollercoasters with trains that look like race cars. Themeing like that is fine for a kiddy ride, but for the world's fastest coaster, get a real train!

Having trouble imaging that kind of speed, but lokking forward to it.
