  1. This is pretty much RMC's business model. While I'm happy that the ride will exist again, the loss of the launch is a huge L. I only got to do it 5 times but it was bloody incredible - better than Formula Rossa in my mind. Acceleration > Top Speed. The previous launch was 1.48G, this one is 0.48G.. even Red Forceless will have more force. Throughput should be pretty much the same, and the twist might be better with riders sitting higher off the track.. but still a pity.
  2. Firstly it is not a CO2 effect.. CO2 is used either in jets or to cool fog to keep it low, or it can be used to create haze... which is different again. I'm pretty sure they have a smoke machine - like one you could get from Jaycar. It could definately be triggered early manually - or maybe a set time after the train gets locked. The haze isn't required by any means.. but any smoke detectors would probably be triggered by the smoke existing effect. Haze wouldn't impact visiblity - it's used on tv every single day - it just allows beams to be defined. Again none of this is important.. just a nice to have if they're gonna close it several times a year. I'd rather they get better at dispatching trains any day of the week
  3. I really unestimated the amount of door chat that I would inspire... anyway for my further 2c, I'm voting for light curtain over trap because they couold keep haze in al the time!
  4. Fully enclosed station Queue looks unprotected from the 120mph launch.. Grandstand is missing from this but apparently will stay My reaction
  5. Operator presses button to open doors Operator visually checks doors are open (departing and arrving doors open at once) Operator dispatches ride. Arriving train parks - operator presses button to close doors The trains already dispatch painfully slowly so it's not gonna impact on throughput anyway. Will probably save them money from airconditioning losses too. It was just an idea .. sorry.
  6. Just turn it off when it doesn't work. Like all the effects on superman etc
  7. What kinda injury happens if ST’s switch track doesn’t lock in properly?
  8. To preserve the show scene of the station and contain the smoke efffect.
  9. I hope they put some light curtains in next time levi goes down for its bimonthly maintenance

  11. Pretty good advertising Source - CP Rundown ssstwitter.com_1690578341326.mp4
  12. Ground up Hypercoaster in 202 days. Just saying.
  13. Could be a leak - could be fake
  14. Three V's suggest a triple launch as rumored.
  15. The first time is still 'scary' for me on some attractions, even for revisits. Fury 325 is one of those along with most hyper's - but you get over it after the first time. The key for rivals backwards - at least for the first time - is to keep your head planted in the headrest.
  16. Adding more Roller to the Roller Coaster @Jake_Coasters Completed mock-up by @Hxpeball
  17. They have the capacity theoretically -but operationally you're right.
  18. Apparently it’s open right now. source What’s the difference?
