thomas Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Since so many people talk about taking out Top Gun I have a new idea for a fighter jet roller coaster. The theming would start with an aircraft carrier like TG used to be but it would have a runway where the ride would load and unload. it would still be suspended but instead of a lift hill LIM would be used to feel like a launch from a carrier. the atleast two more lims to accelerate the train to give the effect of afterburners kicking in. the launch would start out straight the up and bank hard right or left. I wouldn't use loops but tight and fast corkscrews. this would keep the tradition of TG but add length and elements to a fighter jet themed ride that TG is missing. Are there any suspended LIM coasters? What do you all think?
welchce Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Are there any suspended LIM coasters? Volcano, The Blast Coaster -- Kings Dominion -- Doswell, Virginia
thomas Posted August 10, 2007 Author Posted August 10, 2007 so it can be done....just wouldn't want intamin to make this ride.
The Interpreter Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Why not? Volcano is a fantastic ride. One of my very favorites, actually. . .
coaster_junky Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Are there any suspended LIM coasters? wicked twister at Cedar Point and i think it would be great but would they be able to use the top gun theme or i guess they could just keep a fighter jet theme and drop the top gun name
coaster_junky Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 this actually sounds like a great idea to replace top gun i mean its not like top gun is the reason people are coming to the park and a new ride would do the park good because it wouldn't be everyone coming from a park the ride was moved from to begain with like with Firehawk. sorry if this doesn't make since
DropZone99 Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Iv'e always thought it would be awesome if there was a LIM flying coaster. I doubt KI would get one because we have a flying coaster and a LIM, 2 if you count IJST.

The Interpreter Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 And of the crowds that Firehawk drew at opening, I doubt if even 0.0001 percent were primarily patrons of Geauga Lake, who had come to visit an old friend.
Browntggrr Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 0.0001 percent were primarily patrons of Geauga Lake Did they even have that many patrons?

The Interpreter Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Not if it was Geauga Lake. If Geauga Lake had frequently had long lines, Firehawk would still be X Flight and still be there.
FOFirehawkFAN Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 0.0001 percent were primarily patrons of Geauga Lake Did they even have that many patrons? UM YES, the main reason I rode it was because it was my favorite coaster at Geauga Lake and I was excited that I didn't have to go to Geauga Lake anymore to ride it!
Tuskin Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 and now we have 2 threads about the same exact thing
The Interpreter Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Only if Dominator is a suspended LIM coaster...you have to read the WHOLE thread, not just the last two posts!
Tuskin Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 lol I did but still its basically the same thing as the other post in the coming attractions lol just a different idea, and how many ideas have been put in that one .. to many to count lol
