the g's might be too forceful, I'm not saying it wouldn't work, I'm just saying it might work, but it would be pretty cool to see one if it did.

Nananananana Batman(!): The Ride contradicts that statement! If rides like Batty and Nemmie can have huge force and be inverted, I dont see why an inverted hyper wouldn't work.

And Maurer Sohne has actually developed a 2 seater floorless prototype, A113!



Uhhhh, G's and height are not very dependent on each other.

Take a look at Behemoth. That's 230 feet tall, and that probably only pulls 3 - 4 G's. Take a look at Tower of Terror at Gold Reef City in Johannesburg (Prawn Land): That thing has a 164 foot drop but pulls 6.3 G's. Why does it pulls more G's if it's smaller? It's because of the tightness of the pullout in relation to its speed.

A hyper coaster is a hyper coaster, no matter what type of car is used. Be it stand up, Floorless, Inverted, Sit Down, Spinning, or 4D, you can not only make a hyper coaster safe in terms of G forces no matter the type of ride, but also very boring.

Take a look at Wicked Twister. That's technically a hyper invert.

In all honesty, I'd just like to see another full circuit inverted launch coaster, the only one i know of it volcano

Most of all, I would LOVE to see B&M fliers getting sections where you're on your back like on Air, but possibly more intense. I'd just like to see B&M get more creative with their fliers.

Am I the only one who finds the sections on my back really uncomfortable? Not enjoyable at all!

Yes, you are. The back is the best seat!
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

He meant sections where you are laying on your back...

I would like to see some type of fairly glass-like transparent track created... perhaps made out of the super strong plexi-materials used for certain war vehicles/facilities.
If somehow that was created to be safe, I could see some very cool uses for it. The top of airtime hills could transition to the strong transparent plexi material, maybe mix in a little fog, and you could create that illusion of somewhat jumping from track to track, without actually doing so. I think that would be very cool given you have the right environment/lighting to make it work... ...Disney could probably pull it off.

That's actually an idea I've had for years and years...but I do agree that it'd have to be a Disney ride to be effective. The other idea I came up with while sitting bored in class a while back was a flying coaster that loaded vertically, dropped straight down into a hole from the station, then was launched back through the station into a shuttle layout. I made one in NL once, but it was lost in my computer switch.

i want to see premier rides build another drifting coaster in the world.. hope the united states.. like in fl or something (the other one is in dubi)
and a 4d coaster in fl too
more mack launch rides in the united states and more classic wood coasters redesigned and brought back from the dead
and a 3d- rollercoaster- where u put on 3d glasses and you have visuals while the train is going indoors at 40+ .. :)
And a magnetic rollercoaster.. no rail except the magetic wall and strips

I was just going to post that!

I was thinking a plexy glass material. For the supports, glass wouldn't work well. So I would make the supports look like the theming, then just have 15 foot glass supports on top of that. And since it would be in a airtime situation, the track wouldn't have alot of stress which would give it a much better chance for it to work. I've had this idea in my head for years, and I have given it alot of thought.

It appears a lot of us have had the same idea... because that has been floating around in my head for many years as well. Along with some other similar ideas. haha
Regular Plexiglas alone, idk, if it'd be strong enough... but like I was saying Military Grade Plexiglas could quite possibly hold up. I mean it holds up to war... why wouldn't it hold up to a roller coaster in a zero g portion of the track?

I would like B&M to make a coaster like Dueling Dragons but with one half as a floorless and the other inverted.

A bit like the Battle Star Galactica ride:

I've been trying to do this on NL using the floorless type and making the other half just upside down (like when you do a flyer using B&M Hyper car type).

That ride looks kick ass, and Vekoma i noticed is tending to stray away from that "Arrow" type track and trains and is going for custom designs!

More wooden rides.

NO RCCA OR GCI though! I want wooden rides that DO something.

I want ACE to give all their charity money to make CCI come back. Kinda like how they raised the money to make Blue Streak at Connuet come back from the dead. I would contribute because CCI is one of the only TRUE modern wooden coaster designers. Don't give me any Intamin or Gerstlauer crap.

I wouldn't mind seeing Intamin do a 2 across flyer.
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

Agree with RCCA,they are terrible,but GCIs seem to be nice,even though I didn`t had the chance to ride one yet...
All RCCAs should be RMC'd. And that event shall be henceforth known as the Rollercaust.
