New Innovations in Coasters

I still say there is a way to incorporate a true barrel roll into a ride one were the caste actually says at the same level all the way through and just rotates around it's longitudinal axis.

Been there, done that, took the picture.

--who notes that he *personally* did not take the picture, just liked the rythmn of the phrase

ok i stand corrected. I had no idea. Of course now if they could just get one that isn't completely wrapped in steel.

This is going to be hard to describe. How about a fourth dimentional coaster in which the seats move independantly from the ride. (I know they designed X to spind independantly but little metal tubes stick out from the track to make every car spin the same way. ) But I wonder if they can design a ride in which a seat can spin either forward,backwards and spin left and right all the way around with the help of gravity only. Not with the help of a mechanical or stationary device. That way each time you ride, it will be a different experience.

a wooden suspeneded coaster wouldn't work. Wooden rollercoasters are great because "wood" is all around you. If you make a wooden suspended it would defeat the purpose.

And why wouldn't it work? What do you mean by "wood" all around you? It doesn't matter if there is, if it's made of all wood, it's a wooden coaster. How can it defeat the purpose......What purpose are you talking about?

About the "freely rotating seats on 4Ds":

You couldn't inspect it because you couldn't calculate the point of gravity on the heartline and such would *could* be different on every person depending on weight and hieght. Thererfore it wouldn't pass inspection of being safe...

I say they make a looping coaster with the top piece missing from the loop.

I say they tried to jump a coaster in the past and failed miserably. I believe it was called the cannon and have no recollection of where it was.

As for RCT2K's brilliant analysis of the "free 4D" I can't really understand what you're saying because your English isn't all that great, but if you're saying what I think you're saying, the ride can be designed with tolerances that would accomodate any possible position of the seats. It's not hard. Just look at any flat ride.
