Your Thoughts on another S&S in 2007

I just thought of this. What if the reason Dorney got a Floorless was to test to see if they are good mechanical wise, which they are wonders, and to test compacity?

Raptor4me. Those looks like fun coasters. But it looks like the compacity is bad, yetagain I don't know. Anyone know what the compacity is on that? *** Edited 12/3/2005 7:04:57 PM UTC by Keith 2005***

The Eurofighters look like good coasters although I am leary of their capacity. Maybe if Gerstlauer could add a third car to the trains, it might be a little better. Vekoma Motorbikes are actually a Vekoma prototype to work on a hydraulic launch system of their own. If you look at the pictures of the motor, you can see that it is almost like a horizontal flywheel launch similar to what is used on old Schwartzkopf shuttle loops, but it uses hydraulic technology instead of a dropping weight like shuttle loops.

Kylepark, I'm really interested to hear why you don't think CP will be getting a coaster in 07? By no means am I being sarcastic, just interested.

Because I don't think they should build another coaster for 2007 in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I'm a die hard coaster fan and proud member of ACE, but the park needs to focus on other areas. I'm really tired of hearing people say they need to add a new coaster. There's already 16 of them. I think a lot of you enthusiasts' mentality is "CP needs to build another coaster because I'm bored with the coasters they have now." If you want to go ride a new coaster, go ride one you haven't rode before at another park. < That isn't totally directed towards you CP4eva'04, but it's how I feel and hope that answers your question. I'm not raining on the parade, just telling it like it is. CP could use more flat rides.

Traditional rides have been on my mind since the last day of 2005. I rode Magnum on the last public train of 05 so maybe that has to do alot with my current train of thought.

But a nice out and back looper would be great. Vortex is still one of my favorite rides now days and something with a nice height, speed, inversions would be my ideal new ride.

If I am not mistaken, S&S owns anything that was once Arrow right?
What if they built a traditional lift hill in the high two hundred foot range with a traditional chain lift and that fun clickety clank, a nice drop with basic loops and cork screws. Throw in some air-time and make it nice and long. 2 trains on the track at a time or even *gasp* more like 3. I just have not seen any blocking systems lately.

Although, I recently saw Tatsu and a flyer like that would be nice,. BUuuut, I kind of agree with you Kyle. *** Edited 12/3/2005 11:11:38 PM UTC by Coastern3rd***

WHy would you do this to test a ride that you already have data on from GL ??

I think that 2007 will bring us a BM flyer. But how about a vertical drop ride like Sherika at Busch Gardens Florida.

Trust me Kyle I'm not at all tired of CP's coasters.

I dunno. Cedar Fair tends to plan years in advance. So they might have decided before they purchased GL

I know, let's wait until 2006 at least starts!
