Flash - Mack Megacoaster @ Lewa Adventure

[Paradox]

Yea we already know about this ride. I just wanted a place to put construction photos of this ride.

So far the turnaround and zero-g and lift hill are up. Also the loop is starting to take shape.

I saw a lot of people complaining about this park on TPR for some reason. Why is that?

WTF that looks promising as f***

^Of course they're complaining about it on TPR, it's not a glazed doughnut.

Because it's TPR, they complain about any park that doesn't treat them like royalty.

Looks like a good ride so far. Is the full layout already known?

Well this park doesn't exactly have a pretty history.

What happened was, when the park was announced it was supposed to have huge projects from B&M and Intamin as well, but when they were building their Vekoma boomerang, SBL came in and ruined everything. SBL said they would purchase the Vekoma from the park and give them a free knock off boomerang in return as soon as they finished copying the design off of the real one. The park agreed to this and this caused all real projects except this coaster to be cancelled. Now the park is full of knock off rides and coasters and this Mack coaster is the only real one.

^Wasn't SBL the same manufacturer that made those ridiculous RCT3-esque neck-breaking beyond vertical drop coasters. I was always ticked off that those made it into the game but Eurofighters never did, even though they were around during the RCT3 times

I believe so. They are really big in the knock off industry. I'm pretty sure they also supplied the park's knock off slc.

Update. One of the airtime hills and the Stengel dive are up. The loop and drop are beginning to take shape.

EDIT: Pictures broken

Couple of additional pictures of this ride!

Let me say what a promising trackwork! The loop looks taller than 160' the top of a Sheikra's Immelmann. I also find the first drop amazing - it's pretty close to a vertical twist. BTW I'm checking out this thread by using a tablet (android) that lets me see the latest coaster images posted on social network sites.

The first "Wow twisty!" drop: http://rcdb.com/6764.htm#p=60292

And we are now bigger than Full Throttle. Say hello to the world's largest loop!

^Until Flying Aces' loop gets constructed and the record is given to Intamin lol

But seriously that thing is massive. I can only imagine how much bigger loops will get

I love a big loop. Floating/slightly hanging toward the top is a blast. Dominator is my favorite of those I've ridden for that reason. Bizarro, for example, isn't *that* much smaller, but it's small enough and carries enough speed that it's not nearly as thrilling to me because I don't believe it comes as close to 0G. The extra duration and lower forces of Dominator are just right. Now something like Full Throttle or Lightning is next level for a loop. I'd love to try one of them, though likely only SFMM is a possibility, and even then I can't see it happening for a while because of distance.

^I agree. I usually don't think much of loops, but Dominator's stood out to me because of the slight hangtime/floating you get. Massive loops like The 160ft+ ones nowadays seem like a lot of fun but I also won't get to try one anytime soon unless we get some Full Throttle clone at Gadv in the future

I said wow to that! +

And we are topped off!

Epic as chghphruck

The track looks epic now! Speaking of the ride, it seems cool at least.

So, this coaster is now named "Flash"?

Well, I don't know why, but the park logo on the zero car makes me think of NLE's Gaia! Superb!

Ok I didn't know that. Thanks for the notice

I just realised Mack doesn't do shoulder restraints, this ride is going to kick ass

[slosprint]

Lift is slow because testing.
