New coaster design. - CoasterBuzz

Can't do a stand up inverted. if you were below the track, the way the train would fling you out on a loop, it would almost crush your legs. We've been over this dozens of times.

I think a cool coaster idea would to take the seat style of X, with the seats on the side of the track. Don't have the seats rotate at all, but you could design some awesome inversions. Example would be an inline twist which would send the seats in a wide roll. Also, there would be no track right in front so in some cases you wouldn't even see an inversion coming, for example the inline twist.

Actually the Setpoint Seismic design is just like that :)

Take an Intamin and put a Inverted on the bottom and a Sitdown on top.Connect the Trains somehow.Have them go at the same time so its like two different experinces on one track. I think it would be fun but the Strain on the Track would be Insane it would have to be like double inforced the tracks stregth.And there would be no place to put the supports I have thought about this alot.

The G's aren't inherently worse on an inverted. They just happen to be on a lot of inverts. There's nothing preventing you from creating a low-G loop for your inverted standup.

What a waste of time.

Anyone else love how Maurer is trying to pass off a picture of whitewater rafters as their water ride product?

I'v got a great Idea. i'm looking forward to the first Giga Stand up. But on the drop, the cars tilt forward so you are more face down. Also another thoughtis an inverted wooden coaster. i think that would please many people

You can do this actually. You get the supports coming in from the side, then a type of dual rail above and below- so ur whole structure looks like an X, you could also just make the trains smaller... but remember G's on inverteds are much easier than on non-inverted's

This riding "on the top and bottom simultaneously" is a remarkably stupid idea with way too many problems without apparent solutions. And even if all the problems were solved, what would be the point in building such a ride? I really can't see why any park would be jumping up and down for one, as it's just an expensive gimmick.

I never said it couldn't be done, though. What I said was that it's a gigantic waste of time to "think about this alot."

I think a top/bottom coaster is an extremely cool idea. i could add a whole new aspect to dueling, of course they couldn't be attached to each other. It would also be cool if the track seperated and rejoined at parts.

Nate, what are some of the problems you see? all I see is that the track may need to be a little taller, and the supports attach from the sides. how do you know that it will be an expensive gimick?

Of course another option is to have the seats along side the rails like on X, but each side is free to move independent of the other.

The top and bottom of the track idea wouldnt work in terms of supports. There is no way to connect supports to the track and connect the top and bottom trains to each other without causing a collision between the two at some point during the ride. The only way that it could be done is use a Setpoint Rollersoaker kind of system where the connection is on one sideof the track while the supports are on the other side. However, I dont think that this one-side support system would be strong enough to safely hold up a track that would be under double strain from the trains. Another way would be to connect the trains between the track and have literally two sides of the track independently held up, but this also would be unsafe/impractical. Its just not a safe possibility right now. It would be an interesting concept though....

How about a flyer with X style trains that hold you out away from the track, but do not rotate?

Just waiting for May 4, 2003. :)

How about a looping single railed hyper coaster... After being pulled up 250 feet in the air, you hold on to your little horsey as you fly at 80 MPH through 7 inversions.

Combine this idea with RagingBullets Inline Twist idea, and have B&M build it, and you have yourself one H*LL of a ride!
------------------
If you haven't rode Raging Bull in the back row you haven't lived. The feeling on that first drop cannot be explained in words!

I got a crazy new ride Idea you guys! Have steel TUBULAR track, with trans, where you sit UPRIGHT, with the track BELOW you! Wouldnt that be awsome! ?

what about a dueling coaster that has oneside steel and the other side wood? might not be the best idea but i do feel that it would bring up an interesting conversation if you showed a pic to the General Public!

I think for the Top/bottom coaster, it would be cooler to have the inverted on top and then have a sitdown or whatever on the bottom. This way the supports just go around the two tracks, but the coaster on top would pull a lot more g's than the bottom and they would have to be connected to stay at the same speed.

for a new idea i think a floorless hyper would be awesome

Continued use may result in limb loss.

How about a Hyper coaster, but with trains like X, and clam shell restraints like on Raging Bull.

That would be an Awesome coaster but you proably would fly out.I think B+M should just make a 4th deminsion. Those restraints on hypercoasters are the best seats in the world.I wish I could have one of those seats in my house.
