New coaster show tonight!

I'd guess Eurostar was designed by Intamin, and fabricated by Giovanola. To me, it sure looks like Gio's track, but I know Intamin was involved with it, too.

I've seen pictures and such about Shockwave at Drayton. That ride just seems to be interesting and I wouldn't mind riding that. Also, does anyone have any pictures of the layout of that coaster?

I thought that show was really good. I got to see awesome coasters and some I have never even heard of. I would have liked to see Stampida over Big Dipper, but it's ok. I am glad they didn't waste time on Tonnere de Zeus, because although that ride looks awesome, I have already seen it alot on other shows. I like how this show focused on some coasters that don't get on TV much. When they did the wheel cam on Colossos, it looked smoother than a steel. It barely shook! Thunder Coaster looks really good. I hadn't heard of that coaster before. They had great clips of the rides.

well it was that bad in my opinion. and it was my roommate's first coaster show so he now has a bad opinion of them.

WCS: I don't have any pictures, but the show showed pretty much all of the ride. straight lift out of the station, 180 degree left turn/drop into a loop, then the zero-g roll, then a slight left turn into the corks and a right turn back to the station. pretty much like a figure eight.

Both Eurostar and Shockwave were designed and manufactured by Giovanola. Intamin was simply the marketer of the rides. The link below will take you to the spec sheets I received from them in January of this year. I specifically asked them about these rides and the Shaft of Terror in South Africa. They responded in an e-mail that they indeed design and built both rides, but the Shaft of Terror was not designed by them, but they did fabricate it. Check out the link below to see new train layouts for their hyper/giga twisters....they look awesome.
