I was doing some research on my prior statement and I found info on a S&S that was built in China. It has 4 across seating and by the looks of the one picture, its f-in wide. I am going to guess that this is how the track will be done for Kennywood and the trains will use a lap system similar to...
I am not going to say it's not track. Usually you will see track transported side by side on a truck. A flatbed trailer is 102 inches (8.5 feet wide). With that said, the steel on the back of the truck is over 6 feet wide plus. That really wide for track if the guide wheels ride on the outside...
Did anyone else catch that the renderings have yellow supports and that the pictures show black supports arriving at Kennywood? I don't think it will look as gaudy with black supports. Maybe they will pay a homage to Phantom and go black supports, grey track, with yellow cars (with the steelers...
From what I've read. They intentionally did not show the trains because, since this is S&S's big project for the year, they are gonna do a reveal at IAPPA. Hopefully show off some traind without OTSR's. Also, Joe from Ride Centerline had a hand in designing this coaster so I'm sure it will be...
I never started counting till I got up in the 90's on my count. But I do keep a log for my kids..
100 - Diamondback (me)
100 - Lightning Rod (wife)
50 - Diamondback (oldest son) yes we rode it together.
50 - Bizarro: SFGA (daughter) I tried talking her into Kingda Ka for her 50th but she wasn't...
I personally thing the blueprints are legit. Was at the park last weekend and everything I saw seemed to fit with these drawings. Also, I agree with what the video said, the drawing is the top of a stack of papers so there's multiple drawings there, not just one.
1. The footers already placed in...
I personally think it genius. Whoever is doing the PR for this certainly knows how to tease the enthusiasts.
The obvious guess with the number 9 would be airtime moments. But someone suggested on another board that KW wanted a record breaker with their original. So 9 could be inversions which...
The Japanese coasters have a 83 mph launch to get up the 197' hill. So if 75 is a launch speed then 120 could be the height of the top hat with a 220' drop own the ravine. But I not so sure of that. 75 mph is a doable top speed off of a 220' first drop with a chain lift though so the 75mph top...
Although wishful thinking, I would like to think it's a 195 lift hill into a 120' inversion followed by a 220' drop into the ravine. The guys over at KPConnection make valid points that show the plausibility of a S&S air launch...
I didn't catch the Hybrid part. The multiple choice argument would at least point to an RMC. Despite Screamscape reporting that they backed out.
I wonder what picture they would have used for a Woodie.
Actually the photo spells out a T-Rex. Think about the question.. "What's not next?" If you think of it as a multiple choice. The question is basically asking "Which one of these choices is not next. There is a photo of two dinosaurs (T-Rex) and a car. I would suspect that the car is in...
I was under that suspicion too. I tried making an overlay but dont have the correct software. I found a Youtuber who found markers going around the stage near the lake. Soaring with Dragon is "L shaped" so that would put the station and launch where Racer is. I could be similar to Dragon but not...
stumbled across a Youtuber that says a there is a suspicion on Reddit that this could be an Intamin "Soaring with Dragon" clone or similar to it. It is 197 feet tall with (technically) 3 launches. although it would be awesome, I'm not 100% sold on the idea that its going to go down the ravine...
It was three years ago. I guess my memory is bad. LOL
I'm down for another competition. with No Limits. Maybe if it gets mentioned on the Facebook Chat group we can draw some interest. I cant really run Planet coaster cause my computer isnt powerful enough
