What is your DREAM coaster...not including ANY type of coaster already made...mine would be an inverted coaster with track underneath it so it runs on the top AND bottom track....that would be freaky.
An Intamin hydraulic+LIM coaster....It launches out into an overbank at 80mph or so from the hydraulics, then into a straightaway using LIMs for gaining speed to 135mph.
A certain intamin accelerator coaster Ive been planning for a year....Shes "perfect."

Somebody's read a book called "Jumper"
Mine would be something i like to call the sideways, standup coaster. It is just like a normal standup, only your shoulders would face the front and the back of the vehicle. Just think, every turn to the right would make you seem like you are falling over and every left turn would make you seem like you are falling backwards. I call it: Sidetracked!
Another one i came up with is an all-in-one coaster. This is where you would have like 5 different coasters, all connected together and you ride all 5 without leaving the vehicle. The vehicle would be made so it can go from an inverted to a hypertwister to an LIM and etc.
The final design i can think of right now is a choose-your-own coaster. This is where you take like 30 people and put them into groups. Each person then votes on what they like in a coaster, airtime, loops, etc. Then the votes are tallied, they board the vehicle and the vehicle moves along a transfer track that brings them to the coaster they voted for (it would have like nine different circuits in one coaster).
I'll write more when they start to come back to me.

I had plans once for a B&M sideways coaster but they were just sitting down and I had "walls" on the sides so people could only look outward but never to where they were going...Ive tried to invent so many new coaster ideas(sitting wise also), but it seems weve "thunk" of mostly eveything since the floorless style.
I like yours alot better with the standup falling effect
Yeah just as with mine I would want all the horizontal track to be underground and themed around illegal racing under a "lower wacker dr." type look. It would have those orange lights in the dark, and all those concrete pillars and etc, etc....

[quote="SFaddiction84"]Im feeling TOTAL Deja vue with this post, like ive seen it before, or atleast ive seen the SIDEWAYS Stand up thought before, sounds awsome
My Perfect Coaster would be DEJA VU only using Superman style Cars, i dont know if that would even be possible? but hey, we can ll DREAM right?[/quote]
Yeah, i have pressed that idea with the Sideways stand-up in quite a few topics so far. I'm one of those people that likes to tell the world when i have a good idea. Also, as far as the flying boomerang coaster, you can call it "Deja Flew"

See the strata I mentioned above would consist of two 270 degree rolls/spins on the top hat.
The train would be hydraulically launched into a 180 degree overbank banked @ 90degrees then toward the straightaway but have LIMs accelerating it to 135mph. The main straightaway couldnt have the train launched hydraulically unless stopped to cling onto a catch car/cable so I chose to keep acceleration going faster and faster with LIMs
