    Let me restate my last post. We are done with B&M vs Intamin.  It adds nothing to this thread. Any further posts will be removed.

  • To summarize the last 30 pages for those who don't want to read them: Intamin! No, B&m. No, Intamin. No B&M. But I reallllllllllllllllllly want an Intamin cause reasons. No, they break do

So what did he say after that?  "I've recommended a lot of things to those peo-"

They haven’t gone through with them. 

Seesh. At least it was good to hear!!! So maybe in the 5 year plan! If I was CF I'd have one in every park eventually.

You think this thread is mind numbing, try taking a month off and then just scanning through to catch up....

Welcome back! Hope you’ve enjoyed your trip!

Its time again...... Haha * Remember this is just for fun and I do not think this will really happen haha.

I am using old DA area an making a new midway with restrooms and Tiq's  with games and flats. Taking this midway all the way around racer and removing action theater. I forgot to put in the new storage sheds and maint sheds. those could be place to the right and above the cars. Added a large pond to the new midway and also a small pond in the former AT queue line area.

Light green = grass

Dark green = Trees and or trees that have never been removed

Light blue  = Water.

 

Then we have KI's version of  "Patriot".

320'

99mph

yaaay!!!!

Neat concept. Imo it should be taller and faster than Fury 325.

I can live with going 330' 110 mph?

A 330' giga will still be under 100mph.

With a lift like Maverick it could!=). I think it could be close to 100. What is fury?

Out of all the coasters at CP millenium force gave the most rides in 2017.  That reliability speaks for itself....

95 supposedly.  Probably needs to be 375'?  Mf is 310 and goes 93.

So if you have a lift like Maverick and go up to about 335'  with a 90 degree drop. WE can get there!

Elevator lift cable is the answer.  LSM lift hill would eat up so much money the ride would probably be shorter.

Still, your still dropping 9.8 m/s squared.

Actually, since we're talking about height and speed in the U.S. measurement system, it would be better to say 32.2 ft/s2. One of the things I learned in the basic physics course I just finished is to never mix measurement systems. :)

EDIT: Also, you have to account for friction, both with the air and rolling friction on the track. So the actual acceleration is less than 32.2 ft/s2.

Also, you're not taking into account friction and resistances between a bunch of different materials grinding together.  Also the coaster doesn't spend the entire drop at a 90 degree angle of decent.  

Looks like someone got stuck in the mud.....

 the roughness of the parks b&m's.

Really? Just really? Do you enjoy doing this type of stuff? You may be one of the softest people on Earth if you think the park B&M's are soft.

 

Keep in mind, once again, this is about speculating the next giga. Hence, the name of the thread. Not a thread for talking about B&M coasters being "rough".

If you look at the last page we were discussing gravity, friction, etc.  So yes it is on topic.

Look again. Gravity and friction were being discussed in the context of how fast a giga could go at a given height, therefore it was on-topic.

You are discussing your hatred for B&M for the sake of discussing your hatred for B&M. Ergo, off-topic.

That's not how context works.

my apologies.  I figured if the train was shuffling it would shrug off speed.

Attempting to turn the conversation into a debate about B&M versus other manufacturers is off-topic for this thread, no matter what justification you use to do it. You've been asked to keep it on-topic here.

Back on topic. For this concept instead of doing a tunnel under I-71, it crosses over KI drive and does a long tunnel with elements (similar to Hades 360) under the parking lot. The name is Ground Hog.
