I reckon it is a spinning interactive dark ride or a spinning motion theatre sfx attraction

Spinning Space Shot according to the emojis

Thats a good shout, I was thinking spinning launch but then we've kinda already had that but the space shot theory sounds plausible especially with S&S bringing out there spinning/flipping shot

 

[Hixee]

Euro Mir spins. And is space themed.

Hopefully something to replace it.

Anyone notice the fire emoji in the bottom-centre of that image?

Didn't they test spinning cars on Blue Fire a few years ago, as part of the development process for the Inverting Spinning Coaster?

Yes, the last car on 1 train had a spinning car strapped to the back & come to think of it the Blue Fire clone with a swing launch in Aus is having the last car spinning

I got it! It's going to be a launched spinner!

... oh wait.

Could it not be some sort of hyper/giga spinning coaster that inverts?!?! Add a launch maybe. Now that would be something!

Maybe they're turning the observation tower into one of those centrifuge rides, like millennium bug at Blackpool?

I'm sold, but only if they keep the thin, glass windows on the sides.

Euro-mir with horizontal-axis spinning instead of vertical-axis. That's what it's going to be

Good lord can you imagine

Well here we have it:-

Literally just what Dreamworld are putting on their Blue Fire swing launch.

 

[Hixee]

Interesting.

I'm not sure I 'get' it. The motion all seemed somewhat random for most of those clips, why not just use the free-spinning ones?

I suppose you can program it to do nice things that you couldn't do otherwise. Not 100% sold on the idea just yet...

 

[CSLKennyNI]

Interesting. Now I can be underwhelmed while slowly rotating.

 

[Rupert]

Agreed, I don’t think it adds much and it comes at a capacity cost. The earlier footage barely had much spinning as well, it really only picked up towards the end of the video.

Why would a park go for these trains over an Xtreme Spinner? Is it aimed at parks already with a Mack launch/mega coaster to add to/replace their final car as a marketing gimmick for a new season? I guess if anywhere was planning a DC Rivals-style backwards seats car, they may as well now go for the full spinning option, but it’s not the most inspiring development from Mack here.

 

[Crazycoaster]

Yeah, surely this is a worse version of the spinning car they already had on Blue fire??
