2018
That blue track is GORGEOUS
I love the element lineup on that. Air hill -> Immelmann -> high-G flat, groundhugging turn -> Zero G. Plus the headchoppers? Great stuff.
Dragonfire, Doha Oasis, Premier Rides Launched Coaster
^ Woah how did I not know about this project? Looks like a pretty solid coaster.
It looks like a clone of Deep Space, which isn’t a bad thing AFAIK
It is indeed a clone of Deep Space... but with a triple-launch start and a reverse spike within the foreground tower:
This video shows the whole project, including the coaster layout, which features a 60m spike, so not a complete copy of Deep Space.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that Steel Vengeance had a minor accident today. Two trains collided in the station at about 5-10MPH. No one was injured even though people were taken away in the CP's ambulance but later released back to the park. The ride is down until further notice. They did cycle it a few times tonight but said it won't reopen. I heard reports about damage to the train and track but I find that highly unlikely since they cycled it a few times.
Hopefully it's not down for too long and if there is damage it's minor and can be fixed ASAP
^ I feel like cedar fair is not going to feel good about working with RMC again after the issues Twisted Timbers has been facing and now this. Hell, they even had to bring in a power saw to KD today to fix Timbers's stuck transfer track. Good lord.
Update: Steel Vengeance is back open. Finishing up the line and will return to regular schedule tomorrow! Not sure if it'll have 2 or 3 trains, but it will be open
I feel sorry for anyone in the rear of the line if it reopened with 1 train.
Well, I guess it really was a minor accident then
Some really nice aerial shots of Hyperion. This ride is going to be insane :)
Just got back from CP yesterday. Was lucky to get on Steel Vengeance before the bump. It is truly awesome, but I was really surprised it was open again on Sunday.
Which row did you do?! I did Front row for my one ride on Wednesday, and waited three hours for it...
Very back. It was amazing haha.
Ahhh!!! I'm so excited to go back again next weekend.
And three POV from back, middle and front:
For those who have ridden, how are the load times? Iirc, it's supposed to be continual movement in station, right?
I have seen reports and video that claim under 1 min rearrive and dispatch times. It seems they are loading as people get off so its working real well.
A bunch of Chinese Knock Off Roller Coasters
Including Zhongye 11 Inversion Coaster、 Golden Horse Tilt Coaster、 Golden Horse Dive Coaster、 Golden horse SLC etc
Oh god, they actually built a dive?
Well you'd think so, but people look at rides and ask if it goes upside down anyway...
