Mike T said:Yea because mountain villages consist of two large steel roller coasters that dead-end with each other at the back of the park. It's not so much a thematic issue (although they could of done a lot better spatially), it's an issue of cramming your two biggest attractions in the same general space. It's cluttered.

Wow, that bridge connecting the cattlepen of doom to the station looks really odd, not sure if I like it. Still sounds like testing could begin soon which is good.
Yes!!!Smithy said:Holy **** hell that lift hill.
spicy said:I think B&M normally do pull throughs? I swear Swarm had one.
Still means testing should be happening very soon, can't wait to see how it runs.
Just realised what you'd actually posted. I personally think it's a great choice to put this here, it's actually leaving more open space to add new attractions/new areas to the park in the future.Mike T said:My point being that they had 20 acres to the right of Khan to build on, and they chose to build on top of their flagship attraction.
I think it's the other way arround, if they think there is a possibility of collision, they use the metal envolope to not damage the car/train.2012Jarrett said:I'm guessing that B&M doesn't do pull throughs unless they think there's a possibility of a collision. For instance, if it's a big, open floorless or hyper in the parking lot with a nice, spread out layout, then they'll just use the PVC envelope. However, if it's designed to have near misses like Swarm, large trains (I heard somewhere that SheiKra had a pull through), then they'll use the actual train. In Shamby's case, I think it's all the tunnels and the interaction with Kahn.
