While it would be awesome to ride in a B seat, they mustve been looking for ways to completely screw up capacity and this is what they came up with. We all know the problems the GIB's have with people refusing to sit in the staggerred rows cause they cant sit next to their friends etc...plus when the gates open having to cross over. Its interesting, but makes no sense at all why they'd want to do this. Pretty funny though .
These trains have "interlocking seat belts," which, if true, will be the first B&M hypers that I know of to have seat belts. I wonder if these are the same type of belts they had tried on Nitro, and later removed?
Also, despite it having a Deja Vu like seating arrangement, there is one vast improvement to the Deja Vu style. That improvement is that, if you want to sit in the outside seat on the exit side of the station, you don't have to go to the row containing the middle two seats in order to access your seat on exit side of the station. You can just go straight across, which will hopefully make it less confusing than Deja Vu seating is for riders.
And last...a $26 million investment for Canada's Wonderland? I think that coaster is going to cost more than all their other coasters combined...that's just nuts. Cedar Fair - the new, or should I say old(?), Six Flags.
It seems to be like B&M is slacking on their designs. All they are now is a crap load of camel-backs, a few overbankes, and maybe a helix. I think that Bull was their best desing, but thats just my thought.
Something I noticed, how many cars are there going to be on a train? There can't be too many cars on one train because they're longer. That's also going to reduce capacity. If they want say 9 cars per train, they're going to have to make a really long station.
Well, I for one, am excited. I'd say that out of all existing types of roller coasters, B&M Hyper Coasters might be my favorites! The best part about them, to me, is the airtime, so this ride looks incredible! I love the layout along the river/lake, too! The seat design is kind of pointless, but unique and could be cool, and what i really can't wait to see is how different Italian Job will be with all of those supports going right through the heart of the ride! Either way, cool name, cool ride, too bad it's not closer to us!
RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter
I'm interested to see how the ride not having the seats pivoting directly over a wheel, it may feel more like a regular hyper coaster without getting wacked in the back of the head at the top of every hill and drop by the headrest
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073
I put it in quotes cause I don't know if it's a game or not. I guess it's not (haha wow I feel stupid), but just look at the videos on the website posted in the original link to see what I'm talking about.
I'm just "wowed" over the 85degree first drop. Thats different for B&M, right? Thats also steeper than millie by 5degrees....I find that interesting only 'cause its so near vertical. Actually how steep is Nitro?
The seating shocked me, yes it did. But hey different is good...maybe? I'm feelin' the name too. Hey its better than another "big" name clone like GOLIATH. now all we need is LEVIATHAN or TITANIC
