Fluch von Novgorod, Eurofighter, Hansa Park

Also, aren't all trains wider than the tracks anyway? Otherwise you'd be able to touch the track and bogeys?

Most (almost all modern coasters, I can't think of any still being built that aren't), but, many of the old Vekomas and Arrows have track wider than the trains, Corkscrew and Loch Ness Monster proves this on RCDB. That's why you can see the wheel covers with a big "DON'T STEP HERE" on them.

Also, the Togo pipeline coasters and Bobsleds definitely aren't .

[off topic] Is it just me or does hansa park sound really camp?


...probably just me...

If you want real forces you need to ride the dodgems at Tusenfryd, they totally owned us all,

I measure the g's on Titan @ SFOT...however I no longer have the graph to share with ya'll.

From my data, the bottom of the drop spiked at 4g's, the first helix sustained 3.5 g's, and the second helix sustained ~3.2 g's. Remember, it is not about the number, it is all about the duration of the g's.

Of course stats list the highest force value, so they list the highest spike...it doesn't mean that the helices are where that force is. The reason they feel stronger is because the forces are sustained. The spike of 4g's is just so sudden that it doesn't feel quite as powerful (although you still definitely feel force in the tunnel/bottom of drop).

Right, bringing this back in topic with an awesome picture I found on another forum.

Quite big, but it's worth its own window anyway!

 

[Hixee]

This ride is looking really cool.

It seems to have a few really nice features. Hopefully it will look nice when it's all finished too.

I just jizzed...that ride looks soo good. Please let it be fast and forceful!

 

[Ali]

This looks insane, it will definatly be better then Speed in my opinion.
Also I have already booked tickets to Hamburg this Summer so it will be my first coaster of my Germany Tour :--D
Can't wait!

Love it... That tiny tunnel at the top is awesome. Its only a little part of the ride but it could add quite a bit to the experience.

 

[The Grape Wizard]

That is utterly sexy

 

[Uncle Arly]

I cannot wait to ride this in July.

<3.

 

[MouseAT]

The more I see of this, the more I want to ride it.

Saw? What's that then?

 

[Nemesis Inferno]

Pretzel Turn ftw...

See what a good coaster is now Thorpe fanboys?

 

[Lofty]

I seriously cannot wait to see what the theming actualy turns out like on this coaster, it looks good during construction, imagine it when its done...

Just shows that you can theme a coaster outside and not just the station

Just a couple of weeks ago during HIP, ~ 8PM, with the safety brake fully on.

I talked to an overnight engineer that used to work at the park and he said before the safety brake started to slow the train to ~5mph and before the lift was slowed, it pulled around 4.2-4.4 in both helices.

A new picture has appeared on the Hansa site

Note to Thorpe, this is what you could've had.

 

[NickkyG]

LOL! I was thinking the same... i'm quite jealous

 

[The Grape Wizard]

Looks looks mint. and thorpe... :evil:
