dumakey1212 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hello, first time poster here, but I've been reading since the beginning. So after almost 80 pages of posts I'd figured I'd chime in. One thing nobody has suggest yet (that I'm aware of) is a strata coaster, but have the traditional lift. Not sure if a chain would work but the cable lift would. Imagine a 400ft Millennium force or i305 or even something better. I wouldn't really care if it was B&M or intamin just as long as its a good ride. As far as the b&m invert goes, I've thought of that as the most realistic option from the start. If its one of those, hopefully it will be the tallest and fastest. This is the type of coaster I've always dreamed of. Essentially a giga coaster but 400+'. I highly doubt it will happen and am even dubious of a giga next year, but I'd love either one. I'm thinking either a dive machine or an invert at this point. An invert would be great if there was something fresh to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I want something tall and fast. With loops. And bacon. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Why does everybody always think a new coaster is always going to be a dive machine? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcwizard13 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Personally, I hope for and am highly confident that this will be a B&M invert. Here is a sloppy drawing of what I think we are looking at: Edit: Sorry for large image. Don't know how to make it smaller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RingMaster Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I can see that happening. And I also don't see it interfering with AE too much to ruin the experience (maybe just the few seconds of calm and relaxation before dropping into the first tunnel). The thing that irks me, though, is the possibility of bottlenecks for the new attraction in that location, and Action Zone itself is one big alley full of bottlenecks. I sincerely hope at least a new path is constructed that goes behind Delirium/Sling Shot and connects to AE/Coke Oasis Plaza. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Secondson, you're post made me think this seriously is a B&M invert. With my last post thinking the lift would go in that direction and then you drawing the drop swooping like that. The Montu prediction also makes sense kinda. Then I looked up this: hmmm.... looks oddly familiar with the drop footers. I do, however, find it weird to have the parks only inverting coasters all in one area if this is an invert. (Not counting flying ace's aerial chase.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofBaconator Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Also it would be next to flight deck. An invert next to a suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasws6 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Two inverts in stone's throw of each other? kinda odd to me. Edit, inverted and suspended. still hanging from under the track. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Sorry, I was considering Flight deck as an inverted coaster in my last post. And inverted coaster, to me, was because the track is inverted from normal coasters.. gotta get out of that habit.Three... hanging coasters, as the GP would say.

The - Snapper Returns Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 After using google earth and checking out Patriot's supperts and footers I do think it will be a Invert. Check out the trianglular footer located on the base of the first drop! Looks very similar to the footer for 14'. Lets just hope it is more like a Talon or Montu oppose to a Patriot... Patriot was a snooze..... Or they can just bring back Scooters AKA Flying Eagles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldschool75 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 If it is an Invert I would be very disappointed. I would rather have a Giga or Wing Rider or even a Dive coaster. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstop Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I think I heard once that B&M would be interested in creating a launch version of a coaster if a park wanted it....wouldn't it be cool to have an invert that stops someplace and then launches through more.....maybe at the midpoint. With hints of a paranormal theme that would be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 If it is an Invert I would be very disappointed. I would rather have a Giga or Wind Rider or even a Dive coaster. Have you ever ridden either an invert or a diver? Each of the 3 inverts I've ridden (Raptor, Dueling Dragons and Montu) have been absolutely spectacular. The dive machine I've ridden (Sheikra) was fun, but not very impressionable. I've always wondered why folks around here tend to clamor for dive machines. I suggest you go to Busch Gardens and ride their diver and invert in the same setting. See which one you would rather ride a second time. Of all of the steel coaster possibilities, a B&M Invert would be my first choice. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rcoaster10 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I think a launching b&m invert would be awesome. If it had a lift and a launch it would be more awesome. Kinda like how maverick is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
