airromeo 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2007 (edited) Okay Here Goes..... Now we have all been on Millennium Force at Cedar Point. How about a out and back style similar to Millennium Force. Stats.... Height - 325 feet Drop - 345 (below grade) Length - 8180 feet Speed - 110 - 115 mph Trains - 3 trains holding 36 passengers each featuring stadium style seating and a onboard soundtrack. Theme - air or space travel Location - X Base Designer - Stengel - Intamin - IntaRide Unique Features... A beyond 90 degree first drop. Several mist filled tunnels. A LSM Lift Launch. Several subterrainian dives. Metalic Themed Trains. Lighting effects on the lifts support structure like Millennium Force. More than a 30 seconds of airtime. A series of back to back sweeping Stengel Dives. A couple exagerated banked turns. This amazing coaster starts in X Base. The turnaround will be near where the parks property meets the Little Miami River. The lift will be a LSM launch like the amazing Maverick! A simple out and back desighn will be highlighted by abrupt moment of airtime, over banked turns, Stengel dives, and dark misty tunnels. A onboard soundtrack blaring heavy metal or some sort of themed flight or space music. The station will be completely indoors like Flight Of Fear. The train will travel up the lift hill at 40 mph, but will slow down to only 10 mph going over the lift. Allowing a nice view of the Miami Valley, Mason, and the surrounding area. This MUST be a INTAMIN CREATION. B&M will only harness the power of a ride like this with there constant and annoying trim breaks. Coasters like Apollos's Chariot and Nitro are laced with them. It makes these coasters rather forceless. Now this will be a very very expensive roller coaster, but It can be done. Lets hope someone sees my idea. I will be the first in line. Hey guys feel free to add to or variate my idea. Im dying to see what ya'll think. Intamin Forever! Edited June 10, 2007 by airromeo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanobieFan 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2007 How about.. No Also parks use the trims.. B&M just make them.. So dont blame B&M for trim'd rides.. And its not like Intamin doesnt use them :roll: Every intamin Hyper but TD in Japan has a trim on its ride... Goliath? Trim.. GeForce?.. Trim.. all 3 SROSs?.. Trim...

Topdrag 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2007 He's not being an A-hole... He is being reailisic. LSM lift that size?!?! YEAH RIGHT! You would use so much power it would it would cost the park millions each year to run! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
derek9312 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2007 How about use a lift like MF but still use LSM or LIM in a couple other places that arent as long like a second launch like Maverick or to launch a train that is stopped with LIM like IJ:ST. Then it wont cost as much to run and probably a lot less electrical cable used to power but dont forget this is just an idea and you can put whatever you want on it just make it creative like the first post said.

Normally I would agree with you Dan, but after riding Maverick at the point last monday night, I must now say that the Voyage is number 2 in my book, and Cedar Points 2007 thriller has won my hearts number one spot. Maverick is......top notch.....just when I thought nothing could beat the voyage.....along came Maverick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xVekomax 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2007 I always thought the idea of a stand-up suspended coaster would be cool. The idea of standing up but having it suspend from the track above you and swing out to the sides like an Arrow Suspended always sounded like it would be fun and different, but I'm not sure how possible. Then again, with today's technology and engineering just about any coaster concept can be done. Just a creative thought. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xVekomax 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2007 Well my original thought was your legs wouldnt be dangling. I mean that would add to the effect and be a whole lot cooler, but I was thinking more along the lines of you would have your feet planted on a floor kind of like the original suspended coasters did and in the tradition of stand-up coasters. You would just be suspended below the track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thundercracker 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2007 If KI ever gets a coaster I would like it to be a launch coaster themed like this badboy right here Hendrick and I were talking about this puppy... Navy Themed Launch Coaster:Clicky It would be easy to theme to Top Gun but then again CF is doing away with paramount themed attractions so you could leave it as is!

Lake Charles Guy 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2007 I wouldn't be at all surprised if Boomerang Bay was re-themed and another wave pool is added. Cedar Fair seems to think parks need two or three wave pools. I don't think so, but they're in charge, and Kings Island only has one, so that's why I think so.

teenageninja 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2007 This is what I would like to see. 2008- BB Expansion and a couple small flats (KI Lacks severly in that department) possibly in X-Base/ Coney Mall 2009- B&M Hyper or Intamin LSM launched coaster in Rivertown that has a finale over the lake. Potential names include Maniac, Stallion (Cedar Fair likes similar names), or Stampede. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
