Ocean Park, Hong Kong |"Hair Raiser"| B&M Floorless

Ok it's probably just me who thinks it's a little bit strange that a coaster manufacturer reuses the exact same color scheme so close by..

Isn't it up to the park what colour they get? It's not strange in the slightest..

Close by? Germany and Hong Kong...?

Plus the Mack coaster is called Arctic Blast, and it's set in an arctic-themed area.

What colour would it be except for ice blue?

 

[Gazza]

White.

 

[Lofty]

^ It is. The supports are white.

Actually, that's a point to make. Blue Fire's supports are silver/grey. These are white. The only same colour is blue. Ha!

Found on Screamscape. Love the banking on that hop over the station.

 

[Louis!]

Those colours are truly beautiful.

Love the banking on that hop over the station.

Yea, I noticed that too Looks a lot like the Intamin s-bend hills. Surely a first for B&M?

^ nah, B&M have done them alot, check Hydra and Bizzaro/Scream!. It won't be taken at the same pace as Intamin.

 

[Lofty]

^ The picture you posted UC, looks different to the hill in that photo. My guess is that that hill at Ocean Park is more focused on stronger positive G's as it's either exiting or entering it (I can't tell from the photo), in the heavy banking part.

 

[Ben]

^The other thing to keep in mind is that this one is relatively low compared to the inversions before it, suggesting speed, whereas Hydra's (like the rest of that piece of crap) is slow as anything. Might have a nice pop to it, compared to Hydra's which (like the rest of it) does nothing of interest.

Wow! The setting of this coaster is really stunning. Does this coaster have the typical B&M set of inversions (aka, loop, dive loop/immelman, zeroG roll)? I have no clue about the layout...

 

[Ben]

^It's "inclined loop", dive loop, zero-g, immelman, corkscrew

 

[bob_3_]

OMG didn't notice the mini air-time hill inbetween the dive loop and the zero-g... <3

 

[Nemesis Inferno]

That location...

Jesus...
