See the 2002 SFNE coaster take shape!

at www.tpne.8m.com you can find animated Photos of how the SFNE floorless will look like!

Awesome pics, love the track through the loop! Where is the zero-g roll?

The zero-g roll is right before the right hand turn that takes you into the first corkscrew.

Is it just me or is the inversion after the loop an Immelmen instead of a diving loop?

Yeah, That doesnt really look like a diving loop.
-----------------
That was great! It was no SROS though...

Can anyone else explain this?

Maybe it's the first floorless coaster with an immelmen or maybe it's just a mistake. If the train was going the other way than it looks like it would be a diving loop.

Well...Like RTC you can't always make things the same. That may be it.

That little hump before the second inversion looks fantastic....

Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.

If you look at the plans that are on the site, it is supposed to be a dive loop, not an immelman. Its right there on the plans, if you follow the track after the loop, it goes into a diveloop.

That would be cool if it's an Immelman instead of a diving loop. I zoomed in on the picture and the part that seems to be an airtime hill is the zero-g roll. This animation looks great.

TOP 5
1. Alpengeist, 2. Magnum XL-200, 3. Superman: Ride of Steel (SFNE), 4. Volcano: The Blast Coaster, 5. Apollo's Chariot

The drop is very odd..not like your usual first drop.

Isn't the new Superman floorless in spain going to have a Immelman.

The new Superman in Spain does indeed have an Immelman. However, SFNE will have a dive loop.

I'm not sure how it is that you're seeing a dive loop in the plans. If you look carefully, you will see the track turn and then enter a "half loop." Dive loops do not shoot you out the same way you came in. Look at any pic. This is obviously an Immelman because you come out the same way you come in. Also, I designed this ride in NoLimits based on the plans. There may be some inaccuracies, but I took some educated guesses based on B&M's previous work. The only purpose of this update is to see what the coaster looks like in 3D because the plans do not do this incredible design justice.

Bigger is not always better. SFNE 2002

it is a diveloop. An immelman on a sitdown doesn't shoot you out the same way you came back in, look at Superman in Spain and Wildfire. Dive loops can shoot you out the same way you come in, look at Medusa West, its not exactly the same, but its close. I have seen layouts of other coasters, and they all point to a diveloop. Oh, believe me, i know the plans dont do it justice, i just like the fact where that zerog roll is located.
