  1. I don't think it would do much for me. I like continuous motions like both the claws and wipe out and that, even though wipe out jerks arounds, it still goes up and over in a continuous motion. The topple tower would fall down, and then it would have to be lifted back up, and then it would fall down again, and then it would have to be lifted back up...etc. Unless it comes back to the vertical position really quickly...but it looks really heavy and would have to require heaps of muscle to lift back up quickly.
  2. let us just hope the pieces of the top hat will arrive soon.
  3. Yeah that would be one of the only freefalling rides in the world that actually had that sort of theming for it. Almost Disney standards I reckon..from what I've seen of Disney anyway. When I first saw it with the lasers coming out of it and the ship blowing up, I thought whoa, that can't be Space Probe....it's a pity that lighting didn't last though.
  4. ooooooo. I hope it's like california adventure. That'd be so cool.
  5. So what, is a pre ride film part of the waiting queue or is it part of the ride? that would make a longer waiting time, wouldn't it?
  6. Hey is it short? I hope it's not short. I don't want short.
  7. How boring. I knew it wouldn't be another thrill attraction though.
  8. I think if you had coloured lights for the tower, it would take away from the theming of an oil rig.
  9. The Giant drop station looked really cool with the earthy light coming out of it. It's a pity they don't have the park at night all the time. Why don't they??
  10. That's crazy!!! Do you get some sort of kit for that?
  11. I think a tall intamin freefall ride would be cool; they don't take up too much space, and they don't make much sound either (apart from the zip of the brakes) because you can't really scream on them. If you want it to be unique, you could make it one of those stand up drop rides, or a gyro drop ride. They should tend to blend in with the skyline as well.
  12. TOT only needs lap bars because first you're sitting normally, and then you're practically lying down. It doesn't go face first into the ground like accelerator coasters.
  13. I was thinking a megacoaster like this; http://www.rcdb.com/m/ig1845.htm for the cbd of Sydney or Brisbane; Brisbane would probably be better cause it could start at southbank and go across the river into the cbd and curve through the buildings. hat would be real cool.
  14. Hey Rabid, will there be any artists impressions or anything before the ride is actually built????
  15. I don't find going upside down too scary, and it can sometimes get really uncomfortable if you're upside down for a long period of time. The zipper was scary because of the minimal restraints, but even then, it's not really the upside down-ness that's scary: more the roughness and getting flung about. I loved going upside down on the hang over and the ranger at luna park which I found just as secure as bounty's revenge at W'land, and only wished that wipeout would flip over more often. Going upside down on the claw at the Easter show was a shock, because i didn't know how intense it was going to be, but then I got used to it and just had fun. I love just how random and crazy that ride is! Has any one ridden the Mega Mix? I'd never seen anything like it. Was it intense? It didn't look like it went very fast, and the controller talked everyone on the ride through how he was going to flip them next; but those sort of interactive rides where the riders talk to the controller can be pretty fun; good social times.
  16. I was thinking of one that should go through penrith plaza. It is long, has a high, dome roof and would be great for a lauched coaster to run out of... apart from the noise...
  17. What is this redundant system you talked about?
  18. Hey are there any restraints on Wild West Falls? If there are, what are they?
  19. This is boring. I want layouts and artist's impressions! When are they going to be released????
  20. It's probably only a walk through attraction like Tomb Raider or something.
  21. Apparently it was gonna rock our worlds.....hopefully there will be a lot of cool track aside from the top hat. The trains are most likely to have over the shoulder restraints; it's intamins new thing. Kingda Ka has them, ok; it's the tallest ride in the world, but look here: http://www.towersalmanac.com/features/rita...uary/20/03.html and see Rita, Queen of Speed a new accelerator at alton towers, that doesn't have a top hat or doesn't even go close to a vertical incline, has them too.
  22. Hey is it confirmed to be an accelerator yet? Cause I saw on rcdb that it will have a top hat and will be 131 feet tall, which isn't very high. If it has been ages ago, its alright cause I sort of got bored with no news coming out, so stopped looking it up.
