Sidders Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Oh, clumsy me, . Try a direct link: http://www.intaminworldwide.com/iag/index....9&Itemid=32Intamin start by explaining about the '10 Inversions Coaster', then go on to explain about the '12 Inversions Coaster', there's also a little factfile on the 8, 10 and 12 Inversions Coasters.

KingVeveraine Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hi, first post here .I found a NL track of the Intamin 12 looper once. I dunno how genuine it was but it was 150 ft tall and a straight drop with a 180 degree turn at the bottom, like the Mega-lites or Maverick. After that it was a Norwegian Loop, loop, cobra roll, corkscrew (through the loop), corkscrew, 180 degree turn, double corkscrew again sorta interlocking with the first two in a weird way, helix around the cobra roll, double heartline, 180 degree turn, heartline and then breaks. It was in the same elongated style as the 10 and 8 loopers. At the same time the layout seemed very cramped and you coulden't build a bridge path system around it like on Colossus.

Rich Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Any idea what it will be called?I haven't got a clue in all honesty! Anything but DiskO Coaster I hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Nah, Asia tend to call their coasters - _________ Coaster; Roller-, Flying-, Apple-, Dive-, Dragon- and Water-, are all common prefixes - they really just don't get the whole 'Terrify you with the name' thing.Anyway, KingVeveraine, do you have the link for the 12 Inversions Coaster video?

Mark9 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 It'd on there under XC3000/2000. Which is ridiculous as the Winjas are on there and yet they are both two different rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
