Coaster In my Backyard!

UK NeMeSiS, that sounds just downright painful ;)

------------------
Emerging from the ashes of Eric 013...

(Starts to drool at the thought of having 100 million dollars all to myself to build the ultimate roller coaster)

It would be a B&M. I would talk them into designing a lap-bar system like Premier did with some of their loopers. It would be 300 feet high, have a vertical drop, and would give the most insane airtime in the back seat going over the lift. This won't be an average pansy B&M that they have been producing lately. I'll talk them into making it have extreme intensity - with both huge positives and negatives. The first half would be the giga section, with about 4 or 5 huge airtime laden hills, overbanked turns, and hilexes. The second half will include (in order): Vertical loop, dive loop, immilman, zero-g-roll, batwing, cammelback, vertical loop, corkscrew, helix, corkscrew, and finish it off with a 5-g helix into a flat (Intamin-like) zero-g-roll and then another helix. There won't be a single brake on the whole thing until the end; no mid-course, no trim brakes, nothing, with 7,000 feet of track. There would be 5 tunnels placed in various locations, and it would have red track with white supports (my all time favorite color scheme)

Oh, darn, it was just a dream...

I would get a 150ft GCI racer but with the PCT trains and a clone of Steel Force.

top3 wood:Boulder Dash, Wildcat, Thunderhawk

a ferris wheel! "wants to get off Ferris Wheel 1"

I need to get out of the house...

I would get a S&S Space Shot tower with 4 sides, and then i would get a B&M floorless with 8 inversions, and i would also get a intamin Giga coaster, im just not down with a strata right now :(

A B&M Hyper, 400 ft. first drop, many massive airtime hills, a couple helixes, a tunnel maybe

The first ever B&M inverted hyper(with the clam shell restraints), 90 degree first drop, huge hills, lots of helixs, and 3 tunnels.

------------------
Riding the Bull anywhere but the back is merely going for a walk.

I would probably try for a dueling hyper...both tracks about 8000ft @ 250ft tall. Cable lift on both with plenty of twists and airtime...no inversions. Also, *must* be from intamin. B&M's these days come with too many darn trims.

2003 season kicks off 3/22 w00t!! PKD here I come!
CoasterCount: 42

1.5 billion, Im thinking I can do a little more then one coaster, so with that:

1. Magnum clone

2. BM Inverted (launched like the hulk, max height 200ft, heartline, diving loop, vertical loop, cobra Roll, heartline, Montu's double loop thing (half underground), a heartline twist in complete darkness and a half underground corkscrew, with of course the pre-requisite helixs but no trims along the way)

3. The Beast-complete with exactly the same foliage and with no trims!

4. Intamin Strata that is designed to have no trims and whos track is long enough that the train is only going about 30 mph when it gets back to the station

5. Shivering Timbers

6. GGI dueling racer with Flyers

7. SS Combo Towers

------------------
I don't care what anyone says, Magnum is better then Millenium Force.

I'd call GCI and have them build me a replica of the Crystal Beach Cyclone (toned down so it's brutal but rideable). I don't want my visitors to sue me over a few broken ribs. ;)

After the Cyclone was in place I'd call on B&M to build me a launched inverted spaghetti bowl with 10 inversions. (Think Hulk launch) Imangine all the foot choppers!

After they were in place I'd IM Jeff and tell him that the next Coasterbuzz event will be in my back yard! :)

Which Jeff, C-Punk? The first IM better be to ME!

My answer is simple: GCI woodie, 115 feet, 20 crossovers, air time galore (boy, sure sounds like Wildcat). Secondly, B&M Invert with a few more bells and whistles than Raptor, but not enough to show up my boy.

C-Punk, I'm completely disappointed. I like the Crystal Beach Cyclone, but no Wooden Mouse?? ; )

------------------
There's nothing like a woodie...

I'd build 4 different roller coasters:

1. An 350 ft. Intamin rocket with a two in-line twists and a batwing along with crimson/grey alternating track with fiery orange supports, and it would interlock with the other three coasters as well.

2. A Shivering Timbers clone

3. A 205 ft. B+M floorless with two dive loops, interlocking corckscrews, three vertical loops, a helix, an inverted corckscrew and a boomerang.

4. A Raging Bull clone

------------------
It looks like a giant... Aw, who cares. It's 420 ft. tall!!!

I would build myself 3 coasters. The first would be a 250 foot Intamin Impulse coaster with a twist on both ends. The only difference is that the back spike would have a straight section after the twist so a brake could also be added. Then, I would add a 300 foot Intamin rocket with a similar layout to s:ros tunnels and all. My final coaster (which I'm amazed no one has mentioned yet) would be a two mile long 4d with two chain lifts. (X has been more reliable lately).

*Drools*

They have the internet on computers now!??

-Homer Simpson

What I would do is create my own type of coaster I would put a B+M Twister on Top then Hang a B+M Inverted under it and connect the trains so they would race one on top of the other same layout two diffrent ways.Even though that wouldnt work its still a cool thought

------------------
we must choose our fate: freeze or burn

Coaster 1: Intamin Strata - cable lift AND launched (Deep plum colored track, silver rails, and deep orange supports):

The ride would begin with a 45 degree lift, like MF's, rising to a height of 410 feet. The 405 foot drop at 85 degrees would lead to several huge camelback hills (one at least 300 feet tall) (including the worlds largest inverted corkscrew hill, at a height of 250 feet) . Following this, it would hit a few sweeping turns / overbanks, with a bunny hop filled run (5 or 6) into brakes...which then feed you forward, right away onto the launch pad....to launch at 140+ mph into a 500 foot top hat, and a 450 degree downward spiral to the most intense turns and airtime hills imaginable. This section wouldn't be that long, because I want it to be all speed...a 300 foot overbank, 80 foot tall 'bunny hop' hills (very huge radius), and some low wild turns at ground level, weaving through trees. You then hit the final brake run at about 75 mph.

Coaster 2: A normal, B&M invert (Jet black with red highlights), ala Talon, with maybe an extra inversion or something in there. There won't be much (if any) money left over from the insane Intamin coaster. Realistically, the Intamin coaster I described would likely cost in excess of 150 million, but we'll pretend it doesn't, and I've got 12 mil left over for the B&M. ;)

If I could build a coaster it would have to take back the record for the longest coaster in the world. I would get B&M to build a Giga Double-out-and-Back and make it 10,000 ft. long with 2, 90 degree drops and 2 steeply overbanked helixes. I would use the same paint as Nitro and call it Overload. The second coaster I would build would not be so extreme. I would build an Intamin launched inverted (ex. Volcano). It would feature the world's tallest inversion at 175ft. and feature 7 total inversions including, 2 vert. loops, 1 half loop/half corkscrew (ex. top of Volcano) and 3 barrel rolls. The track would be red and the supports would be dark yellow and the name would be Afterburner.

I'd try for either a Werner(SP?) Stengel/John Wardley colaboration designed B & M or G-Tec inverted or hyper.

If they were to busy, I'd get the Gravity Group a go at a great coaster!

Mmmmmmmm...Chocolate!

I would buy my own island in the South Pacific and just watch the dvd's. And fish. And drink.

"The Empire will Strike Back!"
"What do I know, I only work in an Amusement Park?"
"You are paying to get in. Period."

i would choose an inverted coaster, maybe a mix between montu and batman the ride, another coaster like the hulk. and once they get X working, ill get one of those. and if they never get X working, ill choose some 500+ft coaster thats 10000+ft long!!!

I'd get one wood and one steel coaster. My woodie would start as an out-and-back, sort of an enlarged Blue Streak, but probably not on the scale of ST. However, after the mid course (and maybe a second lift), it would be a lot like SFGAm's Viper. It would be either a GCI, GG, or S&S coaster. My steel coaster would be an 11-inversion (gotta break at least 1 record!) S&S-Arrow megalooper, somewhat like Colossus. Like CPLady, I'd use any leftover money for maintenance.

Intamin please :) . Any kind of Giga with overbanks, airtime, ground hugging turns, and some sweet trains that they're getting to be known to provide.
