Oz'Iris - B&M Invert - Parc Ast??????rix

^I was thinking the same thing. the entrance and exit are too well aligned to be a corkscrew, the entrance would be more offset from the exit in a corkscrew. To me, it just looks like a Zero-G roll that is slightly off-set from the typical "in-line" shaping.

It's a Bimbi-roll.

There. Now it has a name. Until RCDB puts up a name. Then we all switch.

That's awesome. 10 bucks says that the next 5 or 6 inverts up on the exchange will feature 3 of these.

Deal.

Looks like the one on the left to me.

^Mhm, just more exaggerated.

Ever been on that? I call them Zero G Rolls connected by a turn. Your body stays in about the same line and you experience floater through that roll.

I consider a Corkscrew or Wingover one that follows a S shape. Those do not. In fact, in every B&M Ive been on with wingovers or corkscrews, I experience no floaters, but positives the whole way through.


Its really stupid they call those "corks" on Maverick. The only thing they have in common with corkscrews are rotation. The path, the parabola - its all different.

I can't believe I'm the first one to post this... But the layout is complete.

I feel this could be B&M's best invert yet due to the level of intensity and compactness, but we won't know until we see povs/reviews/comments, yada yada yada.

Thoughts?

Does anybody besides me think that some of the sections look like people are going to hit things? The zero g roll looks like the people will kick the station and the turnaround right after that looks really close to the ground. Maybe it's just me and it's also probably the perspective, but it looks like it.

Yeah, maybe? I don't think there's any chance that during the ride people are gonna kick the station or the ground bro

I know they won't I'm sure B&M made sure of that. Just from the pictures it looked really close.

Here's another gallery highlighting the second 0g and finale section.

Hopefully this will answer your questions.

Testing video of the ride!

Here is another good video that shows bits and pieces of a pov

Found ANOTHER video

Here's a video I made yesterday morning:

Oh gawt that is fast... [:O] Quick quick, 2012! [:D]

That is by far the best Invert I've ever seen, it looks like it rides so fluidly.

Jesus christ, did you see how this thing exits its loop?!?!

(1:30)

At the base of the loop, it drops down a bit further. That's crazy!

I know, its so cool. lol

The first 20 seconds or so of that video are awesome though.

New pictures guys.







I'm hardly believing this is in France. [B)]

Now they're working on the themeing around the station.



'Joy [;)]

BTW, could we rename this thread to something like "Oz'Iris at Parc Ast?????????rix"? It would definitely be more explicit.

^Hahaha of course sorry. There was no name or anything when I found this originally so I just flipped out.

Sorry, please delete this post.. The forum showed up an error.

Here's my POV ! =)



Enjoy your ride in HD, first row!

Wow. I want one. That's probably one of the most kickass rides I've seen in a while.

Best ride of the year. Looks like Asterix has 2 kick ass coasters now. This park is now a top priority for me. (not like it wasn't before)
