CoastersRZ Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 The new wooden coaster under construction at Mt. Olympus Theme park in the Wisconsin Dells will have a turn banked at 90 degrees. In addition to that the turn will be located in an underground tunnel. The designers of the ride are Cincinnati`s own The Gravity Group, the company that was formed from several of the enigineers that brought to life CCI`s incarnations. Here is the image that is hosted on Onridecentral, showing the 90 degree banked turn. It looks pretty awesome (and intense) to me. Looks like this ride will be a hit, and hopefully the Gravity Group will be the next CCI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 That looks awesome. It looks pretty tight in that tunnel to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Intense? they should ride SoB now thats intense! i used to think it was intense. Its too slow after the loop heading into the second helix. And it slows too much coming around for the first helix as well. It is very tamed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerNut Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 That looks like a major ouch. Don't they know wooden coasters aren't designed to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 Well intense or not, it certainly looks cool, and in a way odd!. It seems as if the turning radius isn`t small enough to require a 90 bank. Only time will tell. I hope for Gravity Group`s sake it is a big success.

thejoker8388 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 looks sweet to me. I'd trust Gravity Group knows what their doing considering they used to be part CCI which designed some of the greatest wooden coasters ever. I mean you don't question people that were involved in designing Raven, Ghost Rider, Legend, Boulder Bash, and Shivering Timbers to name a few.
