News: CP may need a ride, but permit request doesn't

http://www.pointbuzz.com/news.htm?id=947

Well could this be a LIM launch? I really hope not. This isn't because I don't like launches I would just like to see a lift hill instead.

Well, if all rides at CP have an electric shed, how does a 600 square foot shed compare to other rides like Raptor, TTD, WT, Magnum, and MF?

Walt do you know whats beening built but you cant tell us? I'll give u $100 canadian if you tell us.

Well if you do the basic math that could be equivalent to a 10 ft by 60 ft or 8ft by 75ft shed. That’s pretty darn big compared to most of them.

Whats TTD ? 6 by 16 ?

And figuring out how big the electrical shed would help us figure out what the ride is.....how exactly?

I just dont see the "connection". Ha.

Are you seriously that much of a dumbass? Besides, that's like $.50 USD ;)

I would think 600 square feet is roughly the size of Dragsters electrical room.

It could potentially tell you a lot. A chain lift requires relatively low power in comparison to a LIM launched train. See where I'm going with this?

could be both a chain lift and a launch, who knows just my guess. Has any park done that?

A mid-course launch would be a nice touch, especially into a series of high-speed, low to the ground "side-winding".

After riding El Toro this past week, which was an incredible ride, im in the mood for this ride to have a lot of low-to-the-ground twists.

I still think everything is pointing towards a launch.

A LIM Launched ride? No! That's preposterous!

Those of us actually paying attention have figured out that it would be launched already. The lack of large (wide) straightaways of footers should have been your first clue...

But... But... Everyone and their brother on here has already claimed that this isn't possible, so it MUST not be possible. :rollllllllllllllllllllllleyes:

It's the electrical shed that powers the station halfway up the 540 ft lift and the revolving restaurant.

anyone think of a themed ride I know im being stupid here but what about special effect like itallian job at KI I mean that has to use some power

TTD and WT have large electrical rooms. TTD's is located right before the unload station and WT's is next to the station.

Both are launch coasters so this will probably be too, unless there is some other need for mass amounts of electricity throughout the ride. Just my opinion not saying it's going to be launch or not. PS. I don't think it will be LIM launched.

I could be wrong, but I believe MF has a fairly large "electrical room" underneath/beside the load station. I wouldn't equate an electrical room to meaning it has to launch.

Well if Dragster has told us anything about extensive wiring, then this coaster might have a ton of electical wiring to it as well.
