Mr. Splash

Wow looks very X ish

Any updates here?

oz boy

It has been confirmed, that all i know.

Mr. Splash

Well I will be going to Port Aventura in 1 week, so I'll see if I can see anything.

oz boy

Julie and Kevin from Theme Park Review couldn't see any construction...

Mr. Splash

I can't see anything either

oz boy

^ having fun Dan?

Mr. Splash

Yes thanks! Hey is this new ride supposed to be in mediteraina, because if it is there are a lot of construction fences, hidden behind trees. I'll upload some pictures later on.

oz boy

Yes, Yes, that would be it.

Searching around some sites today, foudn this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfPbmQ3J4FQ

and also, the confirmed cars: http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/4557/prototipoww9jm.jpg

looks interesting, but won't be the only one.

Cedar Point? yeah, runours are goin up about them getting one as well. The track looks simalir to that shown in the video above.

Mr. Splash

I'm hoping that video is going overly fast, because if it really goes at that speed I can imagine it to be a bit uncomfortable.

Also the new cars look great. Is it true that they can rotate 360 degrees?

oz boy

I think it will be a 4th dimension coaster, but the cars won't fully rotate, and will go back as far as equivalent to be lying down, and forward as far as something lioke a flying coaster.

I doubt they will rotate 360 degrees, but i have been wrong before.

Mr. Splash

Perhaps they don't want to seem as though they are copying Arrow too much, so that will probably be true ^

oz boy

Found some more info.

1st of all: The rides cars will not rotate. I was completely wrong.

2nd: some new seat designs i found. It looks as though this could be almost counted as an inverted coaster!

3rd: Layout! (note these pics are from a Screamscape reader)

thats the latest!

Mr. Splash

I dunno about the Suspended bit, as the trains structure is above the track. This ride looks pretty big

oz boy

It looks a bit... dull.

Mr. Splash

Well I didn't want to sound negative but I was thinking the same thing. The ride just looks like an Intamin Big One, they use loads of pointless track just to give it a record.

oz boy

I'm getting the feeling those pics of the layout are wrong.

I read a while back that it would take the record from Staelth as the tallest coaster in Europe. From those drawings, doesn't look like it.

Mr. Splash

Well that information is already wrong as Stealth is smaller than The Big One and Silver Star is taller than the Big One.

oz boy

alright alright alright.

Biggest Launched coaster in Europe.

Mr. Splash

Oh right I wasn't meaning to shout at you, I thought you'd copied the information.

Still that ride looks pretty flat in the picture. Maybe the pictures are right but the infos wrong???

oz boy

ok, new info at screamscape.

Can't be bothered copying and pasteing, so go there, and scroll down...

Mr. Splash

Back on topic please

This will probably be the first Intamin to use the B&M track design. This ride will definately have a roar to it

heres a vid of the coaster that someone made in nolimits

----------------------

Looks a great ride if that is the true layout. A few sharp transitions, but I'm sure the cars are meant to cope with new movements.

oz boy

^^ What? You make mo sense Dan.

Furios Baco!

That is the name, and UMWebstie has a mini site themd to it. i'll psot it when i'm nto lazy enough to look for it.

Mr. Splash

Yeah I saw that microsite. I just like the music in the background, its played around the entrance of the park most of the time. Got a very wiered theme to it though don't you think?

It's apparently "party for two" by Shania Twain, I hate dance music
