The inversion is in.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the Zero-G roll was going over the entrance pathway into the area? I was expecting a bit more height in it to be honest

Still so weird seeing a B&M inversion in Chessington.

 

[Archie]

this coaster is one of the strangest i have ever seen. the concept an LSM winged shuttle made by B&M. it is certainly going to be a unique experience

^ This. I think the drive tyres will sit in the centre of the station as there is a set on each track piece. I assume these are to hold the train in the station during loading etc.

I know I'm very late to this conversation but I'm assuming the drive tyres will be able to move out of the way of the train when it passes through the station at speed, so they don't scrape along the bottom of the train

Track is flying up with the second launch in along with the begining of the final helix.








Construction continues round the site and plants have started to go in.

Hold the phone,  second launch?!

This coaster just gets weirder and weirder.

thats a really small launch track

nothing about this coaster is normal

I think the second launch is just to give it enough momentum to get up the helix in the forward direction and back around the rest of the course in the backward direction.

This coaster is certainly different, if nothing else!

Oh, of course.

But the very fact that a shuttle coaster needs a secondary push to complete its layout is...a choice.

Hopefully this means that the coaster won't have an excessively dull return trip. Maybe it's going to boost the train both before the helix going forwards and then going backwards before the inversion?

It's the sort of thing you do when you run out of ideas on RCT

 

[Rob Coasters]

It can apparently be done well but this case with the Chessington wing is still hilarious

 

[Archie]

surly this sort of thing could be done easily with a modified infinity coaster, surly that would have been a better option

 

[Pokemaniac]

Not that different from Boomerang coasters having a lift on their second spike, though.

Well, tell that to my shuttle coasters on RCT! XD

It’s hardly surprising to be honest, the sheer weight of the wing trains mean they lose speed quicker than the average train.

Heavy trains typically carry speed better. Lighter trains are more easily affected by wheel friction and wind resistance.

No, they are rough and uncomfortable.
