Posted January 16, 201411 yr comment_175105 So yeah this is happening, supposidly B&M are making a family inverted coaster for Happy Valley Shanghai, this one will be interesting...
January 16, 201411 yr comment_175125 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?
January 16, 201411 yr comment_175129 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.
January 16, 201411 yr comment_175132 let alone what restraints it will use to allow for presumably a lower height as it's a family coaster...

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? 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
March 25, 201411 yr comment_179310 Just doesn't look right seeing such a monstrous B&M track with such little height...
March 26, 201411 yr comment_179322 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
March 26, 201411 yr Author comment_179323 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)
March 27, 201411 yr comment_179407 I reckon it will pick up some speed through out around 45mph I reckon.
March 27, 201411 yr comment_179415 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!

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.
March 27, 201411 yr comment_179446 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.
March 30, 201411 yr comment_179590 If Vekoma can learn anything from B&M and the "Thorpe Park Inversion" controversy (ahem) then they'd keep shut.
May 19, 201411 yr Author comment_183582 Trains have arrived and NO vest!! Looks odd without the vest tbh
May 19, 201411 yr comment_183583 I like it; effectively a lap bar but you have something to grab onto!
May 19, 201411 yr comment_183587 Are you sure they aren't going to put vests on it? Looks hilarious like that tbh!
May 19, 201411 yr Author comment_183595 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!
May 19, 201411 yr comment_183621 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
May 20, 201411 yr comment_183648 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)
