KIfan73 Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I'm kind of stunned right now...finally...real details....3 loops!? Quote
Phantom Theater Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 http://www.daytondailynews.com/hp/content/...8kirideweb.html OMG,Still no name given.Im dissapointed. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 8, 2008 Author Posted July 8, 2008 I'm kind of stunned right now...finally...real details....3 loops!? Remember who wrote the article....think of them looking at a drawing on paper. Is a helix a loop? Quote
KIfan73 Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 ^Great point. Definitely a possiblity. Longer than The Vortex doesn't sound bad, for sure. Quote
DropZone99 Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I'm kind of stunned right now...finally...real details....3 loops!? Remember who wrote the article....think of them looking at a drawing on paper. Is a helix a loop? On Mindbender at SFOG they classify it having three loops because of it's 'helix'. Quote
catzdrummer09 Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Well, I kind of hope that it doesn't have inversions because I've never been on a true hyper...except for Magnum. But they say it will look similar to griffon to the GP so immelmans maybe? But then again, it is no longer classified as a hyper if it has inversions so never mind...they must mean helices in the article. Plus if you think about it, the true name for a loop is a "vertical" loop...so these may very well be helices. Quote
WooferBearATL Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Well, we were just talking about permits today. Good on the Oxford press for breaking this. Actually some good investigative journalism. Quote
Cody Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Well, we were just talking about permits today. Good on the Oxford press for breaking this. Actually some good investigative journalism. Makes you think if they came on here and took browns idea! lol Quote
Jonathan Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I'm sure if this ride would take riders upside down, it would sound more formal stating that it would have "inversions", not loops. Quote
WooferBearATL Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Wonder if this will push up the parks announcement. I'd guess that the park did not think that the info would be published so early. Quote
Cody Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I'm sure if this ride would take riders upside down, it would sound more formal stating that it would have "inversions", not loops. its the Oxford press not U.S.A today Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 8, 2008 Author Posted July 8, 2008 ..quoting the blueprints.... Your turn... Quote
Cody Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 ..quoting the blueprints.... Your turn... as they said 3 loop's and a water feature, makes you think of a dive machine....but then again they did say 8 cars holding a total 32 ppl. but then again they coulda made a mistake since you can have a diver with 4 rows of 8. I really wanna say its a diver but the article says other wise. Quote
Go Browns Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 OMG,Still no name given.Im dissapointed. I think there is still a good change the marketing dept. (whoever names it) has not narrowed it down to one yet. Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I had a spasum attack when I read this. Then was a little let down, ohhhh well I can wait for a name....I hope this is gonna be one KICK ASS COASTER! Quote
markr Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I don't think there's any rule that a hyper coaster cannot have inversions. I am inclined to think perhaps there are loops on the coaster since there are 8 rows 4 across. I am just basing this upon Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure which has no inversions and has 9 rows of 4 across. I am just guessing. Quote

Jonathan Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I'm sure this coaster is named, and everything is done. I think with this it'll probablly push up the date they announce it. Quote

I am just basing this upon Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure which has no inversions and has 9 rows of 4 across. I am just guessing. It just depends on how you think about it. you could have 4 rows , 8 across 8 rows , 4 across 32 rows , 2 across Quote

Avatar Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I know a lot of Disney World plans for new structures and attractions are found out through the local planning office by interested fans. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 4,200 feet is short for a hyper coaster. Quote
Jonathan Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 4,200 feet is short for a hyper coaster. I know, this is what makes me think if this article is real... with that huge clearing they have it's kind of hard to believe. Quote
Browntggrr Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 This is really very sad news.... It means the rumor coaster for 2009 thread will not hit 6000 posts. Quote
