Starry Night Ripper- B&M Flyer for World Joyland

[Dave]

Is there a reason why the Inverts and Flyers have curved ties as opposed to straight ones?

^ I think it's either the different direction of force on the rails.


Or to allow more room for some extra components on the ride car.

^ I think it's mostly due to the direction the force is applied, since the curved tie have a bit longer section on the side of the spine giving a longer and thus a stronger "connection" to counteract the forces of a train in high g-force sections.
It need that extra strength since it's a pulling force on an Invert/Flyer compared to a pushing force on all the sit-downs.

Does that mean they change the tie's shape when the ride flips from fly-to-lie.

Don't think so, it would probably be easier to use the same ties everywhere on a coaster, less chance of getting the wrong one...

And a quick look at Air shows that they use the curved ones on the "back" section.

Layout done in NL... that zero-G half way through Looks amazing.

 

[jjjjustin]

so apparently its a new b&m/verkoma flyer? and why does the track switch half way through the video

 

[roomraider]

I fear you may be missing the point by some margin

I thought it was said that the loop was an out-side one, which would mean that we won't see that zero-g roll thing, even though it looked great.

Only time will tell...

 

[jjjjustin]

the first drop looks crazy.

 

[Snoo]

An outside loop would be ridiculous though.

Not sure if this has been posted. Interesting final corner.

 

[Snoo]

Should get a nice pop of air coming around that corner depending on the speed.

Straight First Drop, Horseshoe and Weird-ass 540degree twist roll thing are all done

 

[Lofty]

This looks amazing. I really wish I could get to ride it when it's completed, or for more of these types of B&M Flyers to be made..

 

[Hixee]

It will be interesting to see how the straight drop works on these coasters. I think it could be a lot of fun. I can't wait to see more of this 540 degree roll too, it sounds excellent.

 

[Anonymous]

Judging by the pictures that are in First Drop then this coaster is now complete.
The loop is indeed a inwards one and it looks very circular in it's design...

That 540 degrees... THING... looks crazy. Want <3

Just updated the topic title to give the name according to RCDB.

The flyer, Starry Night Ripper, will sit alongside two other new coasters: Dragon Going Worldwide (probably a mine train) and Mystery of Clouds(X-Car/Sky Loop).

I love the names the Asians give their rides <3
