oh wow, niiice....this is gotta be FAST its gotta be...wow wow wow...
Im whoaed just by those pics on pointbuzz. The change is direction is quick though...
I beleive its beginning to head for the water...what could it be thats gonna make it so different? the anticipation, aaah. hehe.
/\ you should it never ceases to amaze me, every similiar ride there is better than the one at sfgam (except maybe Magnum vs. Raging Bull, but Millenium force destroys Bull
its basically a clone our old rolling thunder....just an indoor version of an intamin bobsled coaster.
...but lets get back on topic...
yes this coaster is gonna be huge...that incline may do anything...

Okay, tell me what you guys think of this. I was reading in an older coaster book of mine that Intamin was working on this idea of a Tipping Mountain Coaster. Basically, it's like the one in roller coaster tycoon 3 where a section of track moves up a vertical lift and tips it's way into a vertical position where it aligns with the track on the drop and releases the vehicle into the rest of the coaster. The ride after the main lift was basically filled with mild looping and turns, nothing out of the ordinary. Now, the spot that looked like it would be for the lift hill looks a lot like what the footers would have to look like for this design and they said that it would probably be a prototype. The other thing is that i'm standing by the Sidewinder inversion being the answer to the sidewindin clue, so that inversion would fit into the design. Any opinions??

It's kinda like it...Vekoma is still looking for a park to make the one you described. It IS still possible if Vekoma dosen't have a patent for it.
All I know is that there is gunna be a hill on the right of side of the pond.
That is...ATLEAST a hill. Could be a barrel roll/inline twist. We'll see.

if it was a tilt coaster? no they look crappy and have a slow capacity.
I dont see them doin somethin someone already has. Its probally gonna be too different...thats hard to think about too. What else is there? But im sure theyre gonna leave us in awe....
ok sorry for using "they" ...oh no.......the MODEL looks like crap. Thats my opinion. If Intamin were to work on this style "tilt coaster" then Id see it goin to a smaller park, not at a huge park like CP.
I just see this bein really different.
If it just so happens to be a thrill lift or some tilt coaster, then Ill apologize then & youll win. But as of now its a dumba** direction to head in.
However just like project "griffon" over at Bucsh Gardens, they state its to be like nothin else in the world. However they released a teaser video showing a vertical drop coaster. So to an extent, CP posting all their signs about difference & change may not really be all that different of a ride. But knowing or thinking about CP, it will be differrent. Not a model that had lil to no success even in Asia as the tilt coaster. So I beleive its something new is all.
