Wait, arn't the trains going to be 4 abreast? Those are only 2 seats across, not 4...

Never said it was going to be 4 across... It was going to be an additional 2 trains for a total of four more guests per ride, but not four across.

No Intamin manufactured coaster has rollercoaster trains with 4-across. That's only B&M (well, Arrow with their Fourth Dimension, and Vekoma is starting to get into it as well with their Flying Dutchman and such....).

...It's here, it's here, it's here!!! Whooptie-freakin' doo!!
Ok, what's new for 2003?? I can't wait!!...

Incorrect. The cars will have 4 seats, arranged in two rows.

How about their stand-ups? And does Flashback ring a bell?

Fourt-seated Intamin--see Batman the Escape at Astroworld.

Not to mention 7-Up (or whatever cola it's named after now) Shockwave in Drayton Manor. That is an Intamin Stand-Up coaster with four across.

And the WT trains sure do look nice!

I looked it up at Cedarpoint.com and it says Wicked Twisters vehicles will be:

Eight four-passenger coaches ; One 32-passenger train

What does that mean? four across?

*** This post was edited by Canadas Coaster Drew on 1/25/2002. ***

no, it means two rows of two. the same as traditional Arrow and Vekoma as well as all woodie trains. one car, four seats, two rows.

Knott's Berry Farm Cuba ~South Park

I went back to Cedarpoint.com and it also says:

The train consists of 8 vehicles carrying 4 passengers each, 2 persons side by side for a total of 32 persons

so nevermind

I don't care if there are 4,985 seats. This is newsworthy (with the correct # of seats, of course!). Submit it. Man, those seats are gorgeous!

I wonder what those green things are sticking out on the side on the Train chassis their not on previous Intamin's inverted chassis
