Galveston Pier | "Iron Shark"| Gerstlauer Eurofighter

[Youngster Joey]

Looks short sweet and to the point. I like it.

 

[rollermonkey]

And there we have it!

Looks very good!

Um. Non-standard much?

Quasi-norwegian loop, not quite an Immelmann and an inclined loop?

It almost looks drunk.

I like it.

 

[Lofty]

Seriously, WTAF?!
I love this, it's absolutely **** up. Ha.

The forces in this are going to be crazy, this is by the best looking euro-fighter.
But it's just too short to be the best euro-fighter. Looks much better than Rage though.

 

[Ethan]

All of them are better than Rage! Oh wait, Saw...

 

[TheCoasterCruiser]

I think this looks amazing!
And i don't care about how short it is, that's a part of the charm of it.
Also, it doesn't need to be any longer, because the amazing looking elements in the layout makes up for it.

I thought it was drunk :lol:
Anyway it does look amazing shame it is extremely short.

OK, here's a top-down plan of the ride. This doesn't make the elements look any more "normal".

If that's a Norwegian Loop, it's the widest one yet, and what I thought was an Immelmann might actually be a cutback? Yikes, I need to get back to Texas and try this baby out.

 

[Hixee]

Where is the Norwegian Loop on this...? :?

 

[Gazza]

^+1
I think he meant to say Sea Serpent/Rollover.

 

[furie]

Yep, because a Norwegian loop enters at the top, not the bottom

It's still crazy stuff though, here's hopnig for good trains and round track for a change

 

[Temleh]

Doesn't this ride *technically* only have 1 inversion?

 

[furie]

Don't make me get the image out!!! :lol:

 

[Ethan]

^ Aha!

I say that there is 3, just to be simple. The overbank doesn't really count...

 

[Hixee]

The overbank is more inverted than the loop though...

 

[Ethan]

Eurgh ok... 4.

Whoops, my bad.

Doesn't this ride *technically* only have 1 inversion?

I agree. One 'true' inversion. The rest aren't quite there, IMO.

Still looks fun.

Not sure of the sharks at either side, can't help but think it'd be better if it had one large one as the whole car, but, it's got F'KING LAP BARS <3

It does If you look closely the eyes are both pointed inwards. It's just that the mouth is... snarling? The middle is closed, but the mouth edges are open. At least I think so...

 

[Lofty]

Yeah I can see what you mean now actually, it's just the angle of the photo, it looks VERY odd, I'd like to see it from different angles to see how it really looks.
