no artwork found sadly. I got it on rollercoasterpro.com through their forums & got the stats through rcdb.com It must have just finally been released recently[?]

Exept for height, I've seen kiddie coasters with more impressive stats.

no loops?

This thing sounds like its gonna suck.

by **CoastsToCoasters** on July 17th, 2006, 3:07 pm

well at least its somethin "new"

for europe especially. & hey if its fun who cares? It may be more outta control than S&S, like in other words maybe the movements not controlled...[?] It just flips and flips as it turns...quite actually there has been artwork on it before...here we are...

so not too great but oddly different...

I know why the coaster has such low stats.

Look at the concept designs...these are prototype designs, not nessecarily for Kirnu.

It's a lot like a...Frequent Faller is it?

Looks disapointing.

That's for gravity to decide

yeah see, its not that impressive & nothing to be estatic over. I was just like wow...they are makin one, hmm...but its definatley odd. Lets just hope it does alot for such a small layout/elements [alot of flips].

watch the cars have locks on them to prevent flipping :twisted:

by **Sedir** on July 18th, 2006, 4:43 pm

Wow that would ruin the ball coaster concept.

according to the Video that was out a few months ago, there appears to be nothing preventing the cars from flipping exept the design of the track (though it was a small prototype version which was little more than a crooked loop with a sort of zig zag in it), car would rock but never flip.

Ive seen pics of that[it was red and seafoam green colors like xcelerator right?] but how'd you access a video?

by **FParker185** on July 19th, 2006, 10:19 pm

someone took video at the Intamin Facilities in the Czech Republic and posted it, though it was not a DL-able video, and the link is now dead.
