Does the setpoint seismic have two independent sides, or are the two sides coupled?



They run independantly.

This looks like your suspened in a sitdown coaster but the train spins. So its a Suspend sitdown wooden 4D flyer.

Is this a comeback of Togo, or am I mistaken?


Good thought, but this is a seperate company from Togo. Their only other coaster "Birdmen" opened last year at Fujikyu-Highland, but was closed this year due to an accident. (It is a small flying coaster.)
I also believe they also represent Vekoma in Japan, just like Premeir now represents Togo in America.

Birdmen was not by Togo Internatoinal, and actually the company that made Birdmen already put their 4D coaster on the market, remember the Sledgehammer?

It looks exactly like hoei sangyos "sledgehammer" prototype.

Pictures can be found here: http://www.fright-time.tk/ then go to hoei sangyo and go down to prototyp coasters and click on sledgehammer!

come on people, this poetry isn't going to apreciate itself!

Geeze, do people not read? I brought back this topic because I linked to Sledgehammer's website! It's the last or almost last post on the 1st page.

Vertigo, anyone reading this should remember the sledgehammer! Thats what the patent to begin with is about, and the page I linked too... I wish people would read before posting.

If you look at the investors on this, they are from Charlotte, NC and Concord, a suburb of Charlotte. Could this be something going to Carowinds?
