SFH's Goliath's Overbanked Camel

What's everyone think of this new element? Check out http://themepark.nl/goliath/ for pics.

I drool everytime I look at that pic. It should be an awesome element on an Intamin coaster, and I hope to see it on somemore of the hypers that Intamin will make. Boy, I love what Werner Stengel can do to 50 feet of track.

Hehehe

I may be wrong, but it looks like the overbanked camelback is followed by a helix and another overbanked curve. They haven't finished that curve, but the track leading into it makes it appear to be overbanked. One word for that coaster: Wow!

Each one of these Intamin creations just keeps getting better and better. Forget B&M, this is now the #1 type of coaster I would want at a park near me, and that includes wood from CCI!

It looks like the element MAY have been conjured up because of the space requirements of the track layout. Somehow, they needed to bank just enough out of the camelback in order to reverse into the helix, while keeping the layout on solid ground. Aha- how bout overbanking the camelback to provide the small degree bank that will lead into the helix!

Looks GREAT! someday, I'd like to get to Holland and give it a whirl!

That's exactly what some of us have been saying for quite a while now... :)

B&M still rocks. They are both great manufacturers.

....not sure I'd take one (Intamin) over a CCI...probably would, but we're SOOO short on "good wood" here in FL...

If we get ANOTHER Beemer I just may SCREAM!!! Good coasters, too predictable and "plain jane" for me...I really believe the biggest "problem" with the Beemers is those horrid trains...NOW I'm ducking...;)

Not going to flame you, rokkergator, but why don't you like B&M trains?
