What is this coaster?

I was browsing manufacturer sites and I came across these pictures. Does anyone have any idea what it is named or where we can find more pictures of it? It looks really cool (I've already browsed rcdb's list of Hoei Sangyo's coasters and came up with nothing - maybe I missed something).

Thanks.

Well, their name for it is Sledgehammer, but I don't see a coaster with that title on rcdb, so.........

Hey, at least you know the name now. :)

Looks like the first image is of a prototype installation if you ask me.

I agree. I don't think anything like that exists in a park. I'd LIKE to see it, though. :)

ya know...it does kinda remind me of something you might see, as a prototype for a certain 4-d ;) *** Edited 12/30/2005 6:16:24 AM UTC by BigJim4Life***

Haha no I'm not giving Patrick the finger

I actually remember seeing this type of ride on the USPTO website ( http://www.uspto.gov ). The motion of the car is similar to that of a ferris wheel being tipped wildly. My Quicktime plugin isn't working right now, otherwise I'd give you the direct link. But if you are feeling adventureous, just do search for it, and I'm sure you find it, along with many other interesting things.
