Agree that the coaster itself looks pretty damn good, much better than expected. But I still think the seating on those trains is a mess, what is it trying to be? Who are you supposed to be sitting with? It's a kind of staggered four person wide floorless car, and then try to market it as winged? Nonsense. Decide what you want and build it, don't just mix up a load of other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokesyboy Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 That POV makes it look really fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 It looks excellent. What it looks in physical elements it makes up for in a very well designed layout. I liked the guys frankness, people are too quick to call things slow on the internet based on a POV. XFlight looks brill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke_A Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 And now only a few days after the first test runs, Skyrush is now starting to test the catch car speed without cars on the lift. My god that motor is massive from ABB, no wonder it makes the catch car go at such as speed, in the video on Facebook linked below, you can see just how fast the trains will be going up that lift! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=3532748750927&set=o.197071770330160&type=3&theater UnderItAll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 It's nice to see X- Flight had it's tin shed ditched for a tin wall. Looks alright, and water effects are in sync Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Users Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Not really sure why there is surprise about these tunnels. The park doesn't have any heavily themed rides (Italian Job was stripped I believe) and the park is owned by Cedar Fair. The 'scream tubes' are par for the course. Sure they could add themeing but the park has ridiculous attendance already and now the world's only B&M giga. I doubt they feel much need.

Liam T Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Better POV of X-flight, looks good! But I feel like The Swarms Inversion looks more tighter while X-flights looks more dragged out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Verbolten will have 3 different sequences (I.e. lighting, theming) during the indoor section, either a lightening strike, Thirteen Ripoff Spirit of the Forest or Wolf attack (apparently to homage BBW)... Nice, very good thinking there... http://themeparks.about.com/od/rollercoasternews/a/Verbolten-Busch-Gardens-Williamsburg.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Wow, that X-Flight POV makes it look really fast - much faster than the other wingrider POVs I'd say. And good news about Verbolten - even if it is a bit of a Th13teen rip off with the theming idea and some of the sequencing, it is the new ride of 2012 I'd most want to ride outside of the European..

Mitchada04 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Macks new mega coaster 'The Storm' with a twist for Etnaland in 2013 is looking good and almost fully built. And this is the reason behind Macks sucess, the mighty blue track. Credit to MACK Rides FB page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
