GAcoaster Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I'm still not sure about those funky trains...I can't quite see the advantage to them. I know the Deja Vu trains have the same layout and guests find them confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsDevs4Lyf Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Looks like a more modern and modified version of Nitro. Not that that would be a bad thing, but I would sure like to ride that someday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I think Nitro's layout is better and longer than Diamondback's. The only thing I really like is the splashdown. As far as the train's go, from what I have read the rear seat's are excellent, they give a strong feeling of isolation. They look like alot of fun in the back, but I would imagine the two front seats in the middle of the car would suck. Imagine riding Nitro in one of the two middle seat's on a car with no one in the outside ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railer Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Iv'e never been on a coaster with a splashdown before, is there some sort of "fin" or something that causes the splash or is it the train itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CycloneMan Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hello future B&M hyper coaster! We thought this looked like a splash down! -Dainan "I see a trim " Rafferty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsDevs4Lyf Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 All the more reason GA should have left the old reservoirs from the old flumes. WOuld been ahead of the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Iv'e never been on a coaster with a splashdown before, is there some sort of "fin" or something that causes the splash or is it the train itself? There are small scoops on the back end of the trains that make the splash as they plow through the water. It's all show, with no real splash for the people on the train. You can see the scoops here: And what they do here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsDevs4Lyf Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Interesting way of going about it to say the least. It really seems like it should be more complicated than that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I was looking at the layout rendering's and one thing I do like is all the crossovers on the ride. On Nitro and Diamondback at the bottom of the first drop's they both have a slight turn to them, is there a reason for this, or is it just the design? I was wondering if it lessens the G's or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Looks like a neat coaster but those trains I don't like, I think they are more narrow than Nitro's trains so it might be a clearance thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcji Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Looks like the borrowed Nitro's layout a little bit. Still looks like a fun ride but the trains are odd. You can't really sit next to a friend unless you are in the first row of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafreak Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I think old country is the future home of our own hypercoaster with a splashdown, let's give it a mr freeze theme! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsDevs4Lyf Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I think that if we were to get something like that it would spell the end for Nitro which would really bum me out in all honesty. It is nice to see though that the design continues to be tinkered with on the Hypercoaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest warnerleroy Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 It'd be fun to get wet on a coaster, well maybe not . I'd HATE to see pay water sprayers on it, poor, poor people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
