Coaster that's track flips

Does anyone know the name of the Vekoma coaster that's track has the ability to pivot for the drop... If anyone knows do they have a link to a POV video? Thanks.

It's not Vekoma...It's a Arrow coaster. Yeah, and it's called X at Six Flags Magic Mountian, Valenica California.

RIP Shockwave

It's called a Vekoma Tilt Coaster, and the track tilts (I think:)). The first one is called Gravity Max and was built in Taiwan. Wish I could go on it:).

How many rides must a man go on, before you may call him a fan?

No not X, I want to know the coaster where the track flips, not the trains.... I believe the coaster I am thinking of is overseas. And I also believe that it is by Vekoma, not Arrow Dynamics.

Thanks Cyclone, that's what I was looking for! Do you have any links to it with videos?

No videos, but the ride has one vertical loop and not much trackage....rcdb has no pics, but there was a good article with nice color pics in the ACE quarterly mag. an issue or two back....the stats and whatnot are here: http://www.rcdb.com/installationdetail1357.htm

Thanks for your help, it's just that I'm trying to find the video for my friends, they want to see what it looks like. I know one exists because I have seen a POV video of it before it's just that I can't seem to find it even with the search options on this site.

Edit*** I found it, finally and everyone should check this out because the ride is awesome! http://americacoasters.com/GravityMAX.htm

2 superheroes in Gurnee next season? Oh the humanity. :)

In a few years I would like to see those tilt mechanisms get incorporated into more complex and meaningful layouts. Right now they are being used as gimmicks, but they could add so much to more a well done ride.

Go to americacoasters.com and click on 3d thrills. It has some animations.

I know vekoma's website used to have a POV of it that was pretty good.

R.I.P. Shockwave-My first coaster. Some day I'll ride you again...SFGAm-1988-2002

According to the site, the coaster is SBNO. That's unfortunate to have so much money put into a ride and then just leave it there. Does anyone know if it'll ever open? I'd like to hear reviews - it looks pretty cool.

Booth Discovery World and Gravity Max has opened. Another coasters that has a tilt section is actually Winjas. A duelling Maurer Söhne spinning coasters that has a tilting section at the end. They doesn't tilt 90 degrees but they're tilting. Haven't ridden them myself but Phantasia Park looks like a park that i must do in a near future.

Check out some pics of Gravity Max at Vekomas homesite http://www.vekoma.com/News/gravitymax.htm

Ultra Twister at SFAW has two sectiions of tilting track. It's actually a very cool coaster.

I like SF,other parks might be better. But is it really my fault I live in texas?
