Wonder where they got the idea,

I reckon it would be a pretty hairy experience, rather like being up a tree in strong winds. Hey, that could be a theme, in fact you could theme it to just about any object swaying in the wind.

It doesnt have two have two turntables, just two devices capable of reversing the train in one way or another.

Well, since WVTP has made the 14 day super pass permanent, im more confident in going up sooner since it makes it easier to change your plans or re visit other parks if rides arent working. I think it would be smart of MW to conduct soft openings during december to make sure the whole thing works properly in time for December 26th.

Yeah, im not really interested by the PSP much, its battery life is shocking and it doesnt have the cool features the DS has. It is really just identical to PS2, only handheld so i bet it will just end up being mostly ports of PS2 games.

Well, it cant be that bad, Scott has been to disney, and if after coming from that and seeing DW and thinking it looked good, well it would have to have some degree of quality.

Well, to tell you the truth, there arent really any multi car coasters that actually go fowards and backwards on a full circut, so there arent really any other benchmarks to compare with. On expedition everest they will probably just use a larger version of reversing systems used on smaller coasters, eg a bigger turntable, a longer transfer track ect.

Cordonbleau, do you feel a bit annoyed knowing that GTA: SA is coming to XBOX? You needn't have gotten a PS2. But yeah Neb and Cordonbleau are right, the DS is just so inovative and is just so different from any other console, like, who ever heard of a game where you blow on a microphone (like in warioware) to play it, thats how different the DS is. So how do people find it trying to watch both screens at once?

No, but that doesnt mean its impossible.

Joz, i think you know something

See, it says "expected" to open on December 26th, that isnt nessarily concrete though is it?

Ugh, crap. I was planning to head up sooner than that, ill have to wait till more info is about, and plan accordingly. EDIT; Where does it say that the ride wont be here till december, the 2006 financial year could mean any time from July onward.

Yes it would, you just make the turntable bigger.

Im getting mine on the 16th for my B-Day, im planning on getting WarioWare with it, is it any good, i played an in store demo. Some of the games a monkey could play, but there are so many games and its so fast, i loved it. I liked the toilet roll one, and the discus one, in fact they were all cool. So what are peoples first impressions? Are the graphics good? Is it ergonomic? Any problems?

The one shown in the photo is just a test model, they have a proper one thats 25 m high and is 211 m long, which is more in line with other ride types.

Whatever they feel like, a turn table, transfer track, junction track (like on Batwings loading station). It doesnt really matter, any of them will work. Also, have a look at this ride vehicle shot from revenge of the mummy: http://www.themeparkadventure.com/mummyo44lg.jpg ,you can see the train has two cars, and revenge of the mummy uses turntables, so there you go.

Read the first post mate. I reckon it could be good, its like a 4d, but without turns. And 4D coasters are pretty cool, maybe DW could get a 4d style ride.

Dude, the ride isnt even built fully yet, i dont think anyone knows, but i would imagine it would use a flipping track junction and go like how you showed in the pic.

Intamin have just released their answer to the arrow 4d, the ball coaster, each car holds 8 people and it goes along a narrow footprint, the ride doesn't have turns though, the track is stragiht and it curves onl on the X and Y axes. See http://coastersandmore.de/rides/eas05/eas1...1.shtml#divicom and scroll down, it is in German but the pics show it all. I think one of these could be cool at DW if you ran it alongside the TOT.

Just wondering, is anyone here getting a Nintendo DS since they have just been launched here?

Well, Its double the size of kanonens top hat, and that has to be one of the coolest things i have seen in a while. Its also only 5m shy of storm runner, and that too is pretty cool.

I imagine so, probably just the same way the revenge of the mummy coasters reverse since they are multi car.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr Adam, the ride isnt using vekomas red trains (post #3). Its going to be a track with the rails on the outside and a train type with wheels on the outside. Have a look at an Intamin Train and track, it will be exactly the same configuration. In other words the rails are on the outside and the wheels will be on the outside.

An Intamin Aqua Trax would be the shizznet Id be hapy with any sort of coaster really, If it is a coaster my bet is on Intamin.
