Strange Roller Coasters

[Skyscraper]

Wasn't one of those included in RCT3?

Yes, but it looked like a Maurer Sohne X-Car!

 

[RoyJess]

I hope they check the brakes regularly on this one

 

[Bert2theSpark]

Sorry for the annoying TPR video.. But it looks fun alot of fun.

This has been appearing all over my YouTube feed:



Dueling Dragons lives on in China...

But here's my question, who made it? All the people in the comments are saying Intamin but RCDB lists a Chinese knock-off company. Either way it looks very impressive.

That looks cool. Its on Intamins website https://www.intaminworldwide.com/duelingdragons-guangzhou-sunac-land-china-2/ not sure how RCDB got that wrong, copy and paste fail?

We need a UK based Dueling triple LSM launch coaster

 

[DiogoJ42]

That looks SWEEEEEEEEEET!
I'd have assumed it was a Vekoma, given the mixed seating like Universal's BSG dueling design.

Thanks for that. I looked earlier but wasn't seeing it. I knew someone here would be able to dig a bit deeper.

Seen that a lot on You Tube too. How interesting is the fact that the suspended train has lap restraints?!

Not very since loads of SFCs and Intamin's one at Djurs Sommerland has them...

 

[Ted]

I meant on an inverting variant.

Even still many SFCs and the STCs will have them so again, it's not that interesting...

 

[Rojo]

The concept looks amazing to be honest. Make this SW9 and I'll be happy.

Presume it just rides like a more thrilling variation to their FreeFly coaster model? Its very similar in idea.

 

[Rojo]

I assume so but it looks less like a flying canoe .

From what I've read it does have magnetic dampeners. So the rotations could be controlled or rotate base on weight distribution depends on the what the park would want.

 

[Jb85]

That looks like a cool concept but I bet it would ride poorly and would no doubt be a maintenance nightmare keeping those trains in top condition

Here's a better look at what the Axis concept will look like:

 

[Rick]

Looks sweet.

What an awesome dad you would be if he got to take you on prototypes like that!

RCCGB posted a video just before Christmas with a bit of POV from Orphan Rocker! [around 2:00 onwards]


It's both better and worse than I ever imagined, in every possible way

 

[Jonathan]

It looks both brilliant and terrifying in equal measure.

Still on my bucket list.

 

[DiogoJ42]

Mother of Wardley... I'm not sure what I'm more amazed by: that I've finally seen POV footage of one of the most insane coasters ever built.... or the revelation Australian Blue Peter was once presented by Bruce Campbell's long lost twin‽

 

[Ted]

The man has the rarest cred ever. I'm not worthy.
