Good idea. I'm not sure how it would work, but watching scenes while on the lift hill and at the end of the ride, with 3-D effects on the walls of the other rooms.
That would be interesting.
NOw to keep those glasses on rider's faces. :)

An electric terrain coaster. Way back in the good ol' days, there was a type of coaster called a "third rail" that looked like a typical woodie, but with a third rail and motorized car. An operator controlled the speed. Problem was, the operators got too wold with their jobs and injured/killed one too many passengers. I think this concept could be redone a lot more safely now with steel track and computerized speed controls.

Imagine if you will, an 8-mile long coaster that winds in and out of valleys, canyons, rils, over creeks, through trees, under ground, with sudden drops and airtime wherever you wanted to put it. It'd be a blast!

Yeeee Haaawwww!

Brillient!
Along those same lines of outrageousness: Chance/Morgan could cross a "Zipper" with a gigacoaster. They could call it the GigaZipper. All they would need to do would be to fix a zipper ride to a coaster chassis and let her rip!

Isn't a 4D ("X") kinda like a coaster crossed with a Zipper ? It's not a Giga, but when trying to explain "X" to people I use the Zipper as an example of how the seats flip.

Current favorite coasters:
Wooden: 1) Beast 2) Raven 3) Son of Beast 4) The Boss 5) Timber Wolf
Steel: 1) Raging Bull 2) Millennium Force 3) V2 4) Wild Thing 5) Mr. Freeze

Id like to see a Giga Inverted by B&M or a Inverted Stand Up Coaster by B&M.
-----------------
STAND BACK, THERES A HURRICANE COMING THROUGH!
My Top 5 Coasters:
1. Raging Bull 2.Millenium Force
3. V2 (SFGAm)
4. Viper (SFGAm)
5. Cornball Express /Raptor

1. A launched Bobsled terrain coaster.
2. A circular-car coaster where on some hills you would go down forwards, others backwards or others sideways.
3. A Seizmic floorless to be built already. The renderings look awesome...a true floorless.
4. I like the B&M suspended one (not inverted)...would like to see better suspendeds get in the mix.

check this out....a LIM Vekoma or BM flying coaster....the train would launch on its back, flip over towards the end of the launch area, then climb vertical like 150 to 200ft, then perform a few maneuvers, then drop 90 degrees back down!! youd have to do some serious work on teh restraints though....the positive Gs would be unbearable..haha!! :)
-----------------
ROLLERCOASTERS....BETTER THAN OXYGEN BABY!!!!!!

also, Bruce and COmpressed Airhead, freakin awesome ideas guys!!! i can see it now...0 to 60 while gettin soaked to to the bone!! haha :)

A B&M Boomerang Coaster would be really neat. Starts with a steep 150 foot drop, The it goes through HUGE Boomerang Element, Plus a Large loop and it does the whole thing backward.

I think a stand up woodie could be made, That would be neat, It would feel like you're falling off and you would feel airtime down to your legs.

Hyper/ Giga Looping coasters without the head banging! They could make something like these trains that they start out with the should restraints hidden in the back, It starts with a huge 200 + drop and then some bunny hops and helixes then it does a break run and restraints come down on you and the second part of the ride is all about inversions. Arrow Should have thought about that when they made the Phantom.

I was thinking like a three four level train that goes up a really really high vertical lift inside the tower, like a 1st generation freefall, then it does the freefall and when it starts leveling out the hydrolic seats lean forward and it turns into a normal coaster.
