HussRainbow 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2005 The makers, Maurer & soehne, of the tallest portable FreeFall ride in the world, the Power Tower, takes the thrill of freefall one step further. Click this link... EARTHQUAKE! for a new thrill sensation! this version would be totally amazing to ride, and would add a whole new dimension to just freefalling! id take that over a Giant Drop or Mega Drop ANYDAY!

Nebuchanezzar 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2005 "Endless theming possibilities. " - that seems a bit cheesy, but the rest, seems ok. It could get a bit rough, you'd think when you're happily sitting there and then suddenly you begin shifting around uncomfortably all that way in the air. Hats off to them for coming up with a unique idea, but it just sounds a little trivial and all. If it were smooth (which I doubt an earthquake simulator could be), comfortable and thrilling, it'd be brilliant. But I doubt that'll happen, so yeah.

HussRainbow 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2005 Nah man, Maurer produces an amazing power tower... im sure they would have really tested it to make it smooth and comfortable..... many companies say "endless theming possibilities" which is a good statement, leaving the buyer open for any ideas! Id love to try one, and it would be really exciting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bussy 31 Report post Posted February 27, 2005 Hussy what's happening? Huss Rides have their own version of this ride. They even have several different themes. I have seen a colour drawing of the Dodo theme but I can't remember where that was. "The Bus is now leaving for Drawing Room Rocks, NSW" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HussRainbow 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2005 topple tower is nothing like POWER TOWER EARTHQUAKE, topple tower isnt a freefall ride, its a toppling tower LOL, the gondola rises to the top, and then the tower tilts, while revolving.... totally different concepts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest albert Report post Posted February 28, 2005 Hmmmmm. Looks quite Boring. I'm guessing it's a "Traveling Ride" otherwise rainbow guy here wouldn't have posted it. Looks quite Boring. Well i suppose it is a change from the usual spinning ride which you find at shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HussRainbow 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2005 The topple tower is infact a Park Ride, and there is no plans to make it Travelling, also power tower Earthquake will not be a travelling model at this time, but it probably good be adapted for travel... Im sure M&S could make it work somehow albert my name is Chris, just to let you know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nebuchanezzar 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2005 You'd the think Topple Tower would have to be quite heavily anchored into the ground. So I wouldn't imagine it could be a succesful travelling ride. Correct me if I'm wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazza 2,068 Report post Posted February 28, 2005 I reckon it would be a pretty hairy experience, rather like being up a tree in strong winds. Hey, that could be a theme, in fact you could theme it to just about any object swaying in the wind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whombex 614 Report post Posted March 1, 2005 It goes up, it rocks back and forth, and it comes down, sounds the same to me. "The Bus is now leaving for Falls Of Forth, Western Australia" I think there's a drop element to it. A more intense Giant Drop sounds fine to me. Although at the moment I'm more interested in upcoming coasters... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bussy 31 Report post Posted March 1, 2005 Still goes up and down though doesn't it? "The Bus is now leaving for Windy Drop Down Creek, NSW" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HussRainbow 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2005 yes... but it just has those added elements, which is trippy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
