How about 6 + 2 x American Eagle?

There ya go!

 

[Ireeb]

Yay I don't suck THAT much!

I hope someone gets this one:
What do Euro-Mir and Eurosat (Europapark) have in common, but it's still different on each one (and what's the difference)?

 

[Hyde]

Both are themed to space, except one is themed to the Soviets and the other the West?

 

[Ireeb]

Even though it is kinda correct, I am looking for something more technical.
Hint: You can see it on a POV.

 

[Ireeb]

No other guesses? It is actually rather easy to see when riding it or on POVs. If there is no answer in 24 hours, I'll tell the answer and we can have a new question (a week is over).

One spins?

The question is what appears on both, but in a slightly different execution. Eurosat doesn't spin, so sorry, that's not the answer. Seems to be harder than I thought ^^

 

[GuyWithAStick]

One has physical space thematic pieces?

 

[Ireeb]

Sorry, wrong again. It is really about the roller coaster itself, neither one could work without it.

 

[Ireeb]

I asked a friend of mine the same question, he is no coaster expert at all and got the right answer You can also find a part of the answer in RCDB. Not much time left until I'll give up and reveal the answer.

Does it have to do with spiral lifts?

[Ireeb]

Yes! Can you tell what kind of spiral lift it is and what is the small difference between the two ones? (The second part of the question is actually pretty simple, I'd give you the point if you can already answer the first one)

 

[GuyWithAStick]

Euro-Mir has a Volare-type lift with a spinning 'wall', whereas Eurosat has an electric one.

 

[Ireeb]

First part is correct (on Euromir), second part (on Eurosat) is wrong ^^ we are almost there
And that lift type is officially called "Barrel-Lift" (at least in German).

 

[GuyWithAStick]

Powered lift?

 

[Ireeb]

The answer is easier, both are by Mack... You almost have it
Remember we were looking for similarities, and the difference between them is really minimal and insignificant, but I'd be amazed if you know it.

 

[Ireeb]

No final attempt? Should I tell the answer now?

 

[TilenB]

Enclosed spiral lift, but one is clockwise and the other counter clockwise?

 

[Ireeb]

An there we have the complete correct answer! Both have an enclosed spiral/barrel-lift, Eurosat's is going clockwise while Euro-Mir's is going counterclockwise. You may ask the next question!
