Re: Liseberg | "Project Helix" | Mack Megacoaster ^ They are only from yesterday so pretty new. Another IRL tour is planned for the 12:th of February if anyone is interested: http://projekthelix.se/kom-och-se-helix-bygget-irl/

I'm guessing Technical Park: http://www.technicalpark.com/jumping_ship.htm

Re: Liseberg | "Project Helix" | Mack Megacoaster Something that Swedish users or other people that happens to be at Gotheburg next week might want to attend? http://projekthelix.se/nyfiken-pa-helix-irl/

Re: 'Amarok' - Intamin LSM Multi Launcher - Download Availa Don't really post much here, but this ride needs one. Loving it, it's a real killer ride. Just a few tweaks here and there and it would have been perfect. Last in-line have a small bump on the entry. A few small supports have a to...

If you assume that you use a similar train for each launch type and accelerate it in a similar fashion to a fixed top speed, then the train would require a certain power to get to that speed. Then you just divide the power required with the efficiency of the launch system. By doing that you will...

It's the other way around, LSM units have better efficiency compared to LIM. A LIM unit have an efficiency of between 30-70%, where as a LSM unit will do 60-90%. LIM systems are much simpler than LSM systems, which is why they were more used in the past. The big advantage is that you don't need...

It's impossible to design a coaster without any lateral forces (sure maybe one with just one seat). There is always variation between all the seats on a train. Most coasters produce lateral force peaks between -1 and +1 g's, sure they all aim at 0 but no coaster that I know of produce 0 g's...

Re: Magnetic Brakes Yes of course and Eejanaika have 14 inversions as we all know. How many of you knew about the cable lift on Giant Coaster before I posted is? Did Intamin or the guy/girl that wrote the press release know, who knows really. But since it's such an unknown coaster that have...

Here are a better explanation on how you use the iSmooth and Split-Split techniques to smooth out pumps and bankings when hand building rides. These two techniques together with "Ctrl-g" is a great way to make great coasters in NoLimits. iSmooth iSmooth is a very simple technique to get the...

Re: Magnetic Brakes Why I want to disprove it, because it's wrong of course. The Intamin system works the exact same way, just that the piece "chain" on the Intamin version uses longer links and hooks onto the train in a different way, but the basic design is still the same. I mean how could...

Sorry but these statements are all false. I'm pretty sure that Ride Of Steel which opened the year before MF and use the same kind of trains, have magnetic brakes and stadium seating, pictures of the trains certainly point in that direction. The first coaster with magnetic brakes may be hard to...

After it went to Gerstlauer for a complete overhaul it was sold to Furuvik (a park in Sweden about 2 hours north of Stockholm. Where it opened last season as Rocket. Rocket at Furuvik: http://www.rcdb.com/m/9602.htm Here are some pictures of it at the Gerstlauer plant...

How should you define these?? I'm talking about the M&S SkyLoop's and the more recent Gerstlauer Family shuttle Gold Rush at OK Corral. Coasters that are full circuit rides but work in a way similar to a shuttle coaster even though they go through the whole circuit. From RCDB. Should you...

Well the design of the wheel assemblies and track force them to have gaps between the wheels and rails. A different wheel cluster design with double wheels underneath and springs that force them to touch the rails at all times would significantly improve the ride, but Vekoma haven't bothered...

Well the model name for Lisebergbanan is "Bavarian Mountain Railroad" (according to: http://schwarzkopf.coaster.net/achterbahnen-es-GF.htm) so not a strict Mine Train coaster, but then again, in what way does the ride differ to other mine train coasters apart from the theming?

Lisebergbanan isn't as bad as it used to be when it was newer, now it's even comfortable :) Drachenritt at Belantis on the other hand feels like going straight into a brick wall when you hit the brakes. Also Togo - Ultra-twisters have a incredibly hard brake when you stop on the switch track...
