There's an Infinity with 2 row shuttles?

It is a bit odd and I'm not really sure what the difference is between a 2 row infinity and a euro-fighter.

Mystic at Walibi Rhône Alpes also has 3 rows.

 

[Brad97]

So does Fury at Bobbejaanland.

Well I never knew that. Thanks. Never ridden any of them, I thought they were 4 rows.

Just found out an interesting thing about the park this is going to. Cotaland are also getting another coaster for 2022, which happens to be the Schwartzkopf Wildcat that was Raptor Attack at Lightwater Valley.

they actually look stupid - the track looks significantly over engineered for the car if you ask me

So as well as the Gerstlauer due to open this year, Cotaland are set to get a Vekoma Tilt Coaster in 2023 (source). Certainly sounds more exciting than the Gerstlauer!

Good for them, certainly plenty of new stuff going in that area of Texas with Dr Diabolical and the proposed mad log flume at Sea World.

Always seemed weird that the Tilt Coaster didn't get more buyers ... it's a great concept.

Nice to see a renaissance. Feels a bit like the B&M Dive Machine, they sold two and then nothing happened ... but now there are more than there are Floorless rides. Perhaps the Splash Party is still to have its day.

The proposed layout for Circuit Breaker has been published. Looks a little on the short side if it carries some good pacing.

Virtual POV of the Tilt Coaster:



Got to say that if the pacing does turn out like this it could be a great coaster!

It looks like a solid layout, I still find it fascinating that a racetrack is getting a Gerst boomerang and this within the space of a year.

Plus the old Schwarzkopf Wildfcat that was Raptor Attack at LWV

 

[Ian]

As Rob says it looks very well paced. If it carries speed like the POV suggests it looks like it’ll be great fun. Seems to take some of the inversions and turns really quick and snappy.

 

[JAperson]

This seems to be Vekoma's big new entry to the scene, I wonder if the one planned for Energylandia will be a clone or a different layout?

 

[Danny]

Can someone build a Silverstone land with one of these? Please and thanks.

 

[Benjsh]

The tilt coasters look amazing off ride but can't help but feel like it's a bit of a gimmick really. I'd like to experience one though to see how it feels.

 

[Rob]

I guess lots of different coaster types can be seen as gimmicks. The drop on Thirteen for example is a gimmick, but they can be effective. I think these Tilt Coasters look terrifying!

 

[JAperson]

Yes I think @Rob has a point here, a gimmick can be effective, there's nothing wrong with a gimmick as long as it's a good gimmick.
