This coaster has changed its name twice now, Its the other new skywheel for 2006 at parque de actracciones, and track has arrived.... http://www.rcdb.com

Now this will be 151'7", yet MagicSprings is advertising the tallest inversion coaster in the world at 150ft. :? , well this one(ABISMO), has a larger compact layout than that of Gforce.

Eh, Kinda....I honestly would rather have just the skywheel or gforce. This is odd, none of the elements drop to the ground...theyre all too big, but good to see its going to a smaller park :D

Me too, plus, they don't take up a lot of space so it would be a nice addition for our park.

that is only 2/3's of the coaster being built, which is why the vallies dont go to the ground. If the ride is successful and popular the park has an option to build the rest of the ride, which includes some track under the track being built. Same goes for all the rest of the Skywheels (both of them)

So they can just add on more track whenever they want to? That is really cool. They should be able to do that with all coasters. Leave it one way for 2 or 3 years n then add a new element or something like that. That would be pretty cool I think.

For some reason, this design doesn't really appeal to me anymore, but construction is coming along well.

Now this will be 151'7", yet MagicSprings is advertising the tallest inversion coaster in the world at 150ft. :? , well this one(ABISMO), has a larger compact layout than that of Gforce.


The only way I can see that true of MagicSprings saying it is the tallest inversion on a coaster. I believe that is the highest point for an inversion, if not, then I really have no idea.
