Saz Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I do sort of wish Swarm had a longer layout like X Flight. I think it would have been possible if the station was placed where the toilets are being built, and the lift hill ran parallel to the right hand side of the island (from the plans perspective) - it would have left more room on the bulk of the island for a longer layout.

Mark9 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Courtesy of RCDB.That looks gorgeous.I mean, you can't see much of it, but Storm Runner in the background looks like genius compared to that yellow abomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 So ugly and mechanical if you know what I mean.Here's where someone makes a ****ty comment about how Rollercoasters ARE mechanical. lololol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I agree, Rattle. There's just something about that garish yellow and all those ugly bolts that make it look... industrial. Like it belongs in a large American dock/heavy shipment harbour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Industrial, that's the word. Compared to the sleek Intimidator 305 and just ordinary supports now-a-days too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPGG Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I think it's due to the lack of cylinder shapes on the track, the supports are just square and horrible, as is the lifthill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 More SkyRush construction. It's picking up considerable speed now that hideous lift is finished...First air-time hill is nearly crested. It's only 80ft tall! After the 200ft drop that's going to deliver some serious air-time.A different perspective.New highly-banked turn...Further track pieces for the second air-time hill are also being installed. The photo is probably about as vaguely photogenic as SkyRush can get.And SkyRush has a feline friend! This cat has apparently been wandering the area for a few days.

Sidders Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Double post because I can:Shambhala's progressing too. After sifting through the PA Community forums I found these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 The contrast between Shambahala and Skyfail is so massive it's not funny. For instancethat is just vile whilst the white and blue of Port Aventuras hyper works really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepie Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Remember that crazy B&M Flying Coaster in China which opened last year? Starry Night Ripper is one of the most unique rides of its type that I have seen. Here is a fantastic video which showcases the ride's unique approach to the ride type!

AdamY Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I love that flyer so much, it's beautiful. If I ever pluck up the courage to pay the reds a visit, I'm totally on that thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidders Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Key Stone Thrills have spotted an s-bend on SkyRush. And what and s-bend it is!Looking awesome, if you can ignore the colours. And considering SkyRush's newly-modified lap-bar restraints, riders' necks might be preserved until the end of the ride in a world's first for Intamin.Oh, and some funky-lookin' doohickey thing is clamped onto the track for whatever reason.

AdamY Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Intamin have got the old track measurer out so they know what width to build the trains. Technological genius at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
