Rollercoasters That You Weren't Aware Existed...

[mkingy]

Sometimes I'm just browsing RCDB or the itnernet and I come across something I had no idea existed. I think it doesn't help that there was a time I didn't follow coaster developments but still.

Found a Vekoma Stingray - a flying coaster with outside rails (of booster bike opposed to classic corkscrew coasters) that popped up in 2009 that surprised me.



Anybody else ever found something they had no idea existed? Or am I just an ultra noob :D

Diving Coaster for Happy Valley Shanghai??????????????????


Similar to SheiKra but its Higher and Shorter,Even the final Helix is different

I'm surprised you haven't heard of that. Happy Valley Shanghai looks like an awesome park (for coasters that is).

Eh a 4 seat wide el-loco! I've ridden a standard model, was a pretty fun ride actually. Would recommend!

Knew bout the ride. Didn't realize it had four seats...

They're surprisingly good fun actually, rode Ben:10 at Drayton Manor which is a themed version and is some unexpected airtime. only problem is it doesn't drag you up to the top for the return leg so it's a tad slower on the return leg!

The Ben10 one is build by Vekoma, the one on the picture was build by Gerstlauer. i heard the vekoma ones are a little more forceful

Ohh guess I can add that to my 'didn't realise' list then haha

I had actually passed over this coaster when I saw "Gerstlauer" and "spinning," but now I see that this thing is crazy. An indoor launched spinning coaster with an inversion.



(thanks Dirk)

I also just found out that Walibi Holland ****ed with their Boomerang and added the ***y new Vekoma trains.

I had a concept for a launched Gerstlauer and an Inversion. Damn you, Gerstlauer, for stealing my idea!

I think I might apply for a job there for next summer. Though, the 50 minute commute would kill me, and I haven't even been there before.

I already talked to Maurer back in 2009 on the EAS Amsterdam about inversions on Spinning coasters. [:)]
