eejanaika - S&S 4th Dimension Coaster at Fuji Q

By the way, here's a POV video of it from Youtube:

It looks amazing! It really maintains it's speed better than X, and the full-full looks crazy.

Anyone else noticing how the seats lay your on your stomach as you hit the brake run and then right only the front half of the train before stopping? You can see the back rows through the rows of seats in the video and it appears they are stopping at a weird angle with people almost on their stomachs.... why would they design it this way?

There's also a weird half flip on the pre-lift turn.

Hobbes: "What's the point of attaching a number to everything you do?"
Calvin: "If your numbers go up, it means you're having more fun."

Yeah, really weird. It's like it rotates you on your back just for fun for a second, and then puts you back normal... only to rotate you to your back when you start up the lift.

Welcome back, red train, how was your ride?!

^ yeah... check just three posts up.

Some might say I don't know how to count but to me, anyway, it looked to only have 7 inversions (nice overbank though).

Crap, I didn't even notice the other link to YouTube up there.

I can't get my head around the full-full, it is mind boggling!

Time will tell if it gets rough. X would've been awesome if it was smooth as glass.

And if pigs could fly we'd pick bacon out of trees.

Looks like it's already a little "bouncy."

I think the bumpiness we see already is going to be there no matter what, due to the width of the trains. Hopefully there are better systems put in place to prevent the bumpiness from worsening.

If the seats stayed completely rigid (i.e. no bounce) they would eventually break off, they are probably designed to just bounce a little.
