EC! Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 So yeah this is happening, supposidly B&M are making a family inverted coaster for Happy Valley Shanghai, this one will be interesting... Inferno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mah boi Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 When I read the title, I thought this was a joke. However I am mistaken. About the ride, it will be very interesting to see B&M's take on the family market. Do you know if a layout has been released yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 This will be very interesting to see how this one works, considering B&M have only built coasters in the past aimed for thrilling rides. A B&M inverter without inversions or thrilling elements, will be very strange and interesting to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFarmerDean Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 let alone what restraints it will use to allow for presumably a lower height as it's a family coaster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well according to a source, from what tpr said it would be under 1000m long but that is the only thing at the moment, it is on RCDB that they are getting a family inverted coaster, and those were the track piece found on site of park and where it is going to go. most likely it will be like the vekoma where it is 2 across and is just very twisty. EDIT: This is the confirmed layout but drawn crapply on Paint LOL pognoi and mah boi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldFarmerDean Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Just doesn't look right seeing such a monstrous B&M track with such little height... pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.S217 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 That first drop should not be on a B&M Inverter, But the layout would fit a B&M Flyer with no intense parts just my thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Tbh that is the whole point of a family invert so I think it looks fine, nemesis ain't much taller! (I know nemesis has a 104ft drop but still) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pognoi Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 yeah that drop looks really awkward xD OldFarmerDean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 It's going to be amazing. You heard it here first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.S217 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I reckon it will pick up some speed through out around 45mph I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipper Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I love how inventive this layout is, and I'd love to know if it's a B&M self-designed layout or a park designed layout... Because it's just a mirror-image of the Vekoma Family Inverted Rollercoaster! Woo! pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's just a mirror-image of the Vekoma Family Inverted Rollercoaster! Woo! The company have that model in 2 other of their parks, maybe they wanted to try out a different manufacturer but with the same layout.

Flipper Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Maybe they did, but I imagine Vekoma are pretty peev'd about it. Regardless, it is a little sadistic because what we're looking at is, in its own right, a big move for B&M and something that will probably go pretty mainstream if it's a success; so it wouldn't have hurt to see a little bit of a variation on the Vekoma layout.

EC! Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Its mirrored so that is a little variation jokes of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 If Vekoma can learn anything from B&M and the "Thorpe Park Inversion" controversy (ahem) then they'd keep shut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Trains have arrived and NO vest!! Looks odd without the vest tbh Luke_A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I like it; effectively a lap bar but you have something to grab onto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Are you sure they aren't going to put vests on it? Looks hilarious like that tbh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I like it. Looks odd seeing a B&M with such short rows though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Are you sure they aren't going to put vests on it? Looks hilarious like that tbh! I think if they were going to put vests on it, they'd ship it with the vests on. I love it tbh looks great with out them and woman with big boobs won't feel like they are getting choked which is a plus!

GladiatorFanKyle Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Trains have arrived and NO vest!! Looks odd without the vest tbh they look awesome! Hopefully we can see some more b&m family inverts as they look neat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipper Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I'm more surprised that people are surprised it doesn't have the vest... I didn't expect it to It does look like a nice new concept though (so to speak) with the small trains and lap bar - grab bar restraints. Hopefully some of these can be expanded out around the world; and who knows, maybe they could creep in on Vekoma and relaunch a swinging concept (since nobody wants a Vekoma swing coaster) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
