I was goofing off bored on rcdb when I came across this ride..

I tried looking for a video or anything, but it looks very interesting to me. A tiny footprint and that tiny zero-g looks so cool. The ride supposedly shut down because the park had financial troubles, and the company that made the ride went out of business (as far as what I"m understanding), but have any of you heard of this?

Looks like a blend of a Disney Coaster track and trackwork with a designer in Roller Coaster Tycoon who added a track section everytime he got just enough money to do so.

i think it's this ..



Naaaa, when people get desperate with their layouts they're not compact. Unless they're very short and save cash.

i agree with dirk, it looks wicked. the compact layout and the mini zero-g looks fantastic. i would hope it would have the pacing to make it a very fast little coaster.

I wonder what sort of cars/trains that thing had.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

That's really sad. Maybe another park will buy it.

It hasn't been operating for 9 years.. so it's unlikely.

this would actually probably make a fun, easy recreation for beginner designers.
