willsy 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2004 I am after any specs on the ride, Height, support diameter any thing at all. Who built the ride? I want to make a scale model of the ride. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard 1,011 Report post Posted June 13, 2004 http://www.roller-coaster.com.au/ride.php?rid=43 That height is measured from the top of the complete revolution, so the the support frame would hence be about half that. Check out the accompanying gallery, and do some measurements here and there and you should be able to come up with the dimensions and angles etc. of the ride.

Daniel 1 Report post Posted June 13, 2004 Willsy, Off the top of my head I think it's an Intamin. It stood at 49 feet or 80 feet when inverted. It had 50 seats and more often than not drove the operator up the wall the piece of crap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rappa 2,455 Report post Posted June 13, 2004 It is indeed Intamin and I think it's more or less the same (minus the dressing) to their looping space ship models so maybe you can get your nitty gritty measurments from that?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bussy 31 Report post Posted June 13, 2004 There was about 100 litres of saliva dried onto the backs of seats, 58 kilograms of chewing gum on the platform, 72.5 litres of vomit caked into the seatbelts.

Gazza 2,068 Report post Posted June 14, 2004 How could Intamin make something so painful? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 1 Report post Posted June 14, 2004 It was only painful for the idiots that need to go to the gym. Mix in a chest and shoulders whingers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazza 2,068 Report post Posted June 14, 2004 It didnt hurt my shoulders, but during the ride the restraint kept closing in more putting too much pressure on my chest, why didnt it just stay at the position it was locked in at the start of the ride? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bussy 31 Report post Posted June 14, 2004 It didnt hurt my shoulders, but during the ride the restraint kept closing in more putting too much pressure on my chest, why didnt it just stay at the position it was locked in at the start of the ride? The reason it didn't stay in the same position was because the operators had a button to make the harnesses lock down a bit more during the cycle. "I can't breathe, I can't breathe!"

rappa 2,455 Report post Posted June 14, 2004 The thing I never understood about Bounty is just why the hell the OTSRs were so heavy, its not like they need weight to be effective, without the weight of those things it would have been a much more comfortable ride! Old design I guess :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gazza 2,068 Report post Posted June 16, 2004 Hey, no fair, I e-mailed intamin requesting plans for their impulse coasters, to no avail. What did you write in you email so they would send it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard 1,011 Report post Posted June 16, 2004 Just a stab in the dark, but their looping ship would probably be out of production, so they'd be more likely to give the plans to a fan, as opposed to one of their current flagship products, the Impulse coaster.

Gazza 2,068 Report post Posted June 16, 2004 If it were out of production then it wouldn't be on the website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard 1,011 Report post Posted June 16, 2004 B&M took the patents for the Standup coaster with them when they left to form their own company, yet they're still listed on Intamin's website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazza 2,068 Report post Posted June 16, 2004 But Shockwave at Drayton Manor Park Opened in 1994, 4 years after B&M became their own company. I think they still have the right to make it. Maybe they didnt send ifo because I went through the info request forms instead of just sending a straight e-mail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
