this is from that company that just went out of business, such a weird ride looks really painful too!!
 
I took the liberty to edit your post to show the photo instead of just having a page link - hope you don't mind.
Exactly what bit do you think is weird?
It all looked pretty standard stuff to me when we were there for the Euro CF-Live in 2009. Thanks god the seats are well padded or it would indeed be a very painful ride.
 
I do remember a few days after it opened, a few of the seats actually came right off of the chassis, killing a few. I'm surprised it ever opened again, since I've heard nothing but bad about the ride.

:?
No one died & the seats didn't detach from the chassis, rather the first car came off the rails in one of the turns.
 
Can we have the rcdb (or other information site) page link as well as the photo when posting these please everyone? It's important to the topic to see what it looks like, yes, but its also lovely to be able to find out more about where it is, who manufactured it etc.

(Not a dig at you Jerry. There were other ones in this topic too where people have had to ask "where's that?" and suchlike)
 
It's there & I am one of those people who had to ask. :wink:
 
Nice one Jer. How did this not result in head injuries for the people in the front seats of the 2nd through 5th cars? :wink:

Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

what I meant by weird was the shape of the inversion and just the overall compactness of the ride,

I also found the shape of the Immelmann on Stormrunner very odd.

^It's the exit from the transition that makes SR odd. I've always found it very weird from certain angles but from others, perfectly fine. You definitely don't notice while riding though.

^Found a video of that Cobra ride featured on the previous page if anyones interested. Looks pretty intense!
 
Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

This park in France just opened a Mack Spinning Coaster that NOONE seems to have heard of, and they have this weird "proper" coaster from Reverchon...

Pansies!

Clearly our American members aren't as robust as they let on. :p

Cobra was nothing short of delightful and a MILLION times better than an SLC. Mine and Will's reride confirmed that we weren't hallucinating or drugged to the eyeballs on morphine at the time.

I was very sad to see the company go the other week, because loads of these popping up everywhere would have only been a good thing. :)
 
Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

^Were they high?! :p I mean, how could ANYONE think that that would be pleasant to ride?

Jeez.
