tpman Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Surrender is a rubish name for SW6, however, I understand that it is dificult to come up with an uncheezy won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 It still hasn't been confirmed that "Surrender" is it's name. If it is I will be dissapointed, I don't feel it has the impact it should like, Oblivion or Nemesis.Also, one spelt "won"... Are you kidding me?

James6 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 When has the Roller Coaster DataBase ever been wrong?Not very often but they do make mistakes, They started off saying Saw had 4 inversions, and also it says Nemesis' G-force is 3 ( which would be the same as Air's... ) which is wrong as it's 4.Also, if the lift is like The Hulk's at IOA, that would be fantastic as that is pretty brilliant. This ride just keeps looking better and better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just a normal speed lift hill, such as on Tami-Tami at Port Aventura. http://www.rcdb.com/763.htm?p=19983 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake C Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 ...

Whiteknuckle Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I personally hope they can come up with a better name than Surrender. Can't wait to see progress during Adreniline week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Agree completely!Whilst it's not a bad name, it's not good enough IMO.I will also be going during Adrenaline week and at the rate there going at the moment, there will be a lot for us to look at!

James6 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Sorry to double post, as I said, rcdb does , very occasionally get things wrong, and they did jump the gun with the name situation. The page is now back to saying "unknown" as you can see hereIt may still be called Surrender, but I'm glad that at the moment we can think it's not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James6 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 The most likely, IMO, thing the world first will be is... Basically inside the building, the train goes onto a piece of track which then does vertical movements like an elevator although obviously a lot sharper and quicker, I also think there'll be special effects and audio whilst in the building. Hopefully I've explained that quite clearly, but I agree with you MonsterDan I think this coaster looks like a standalone coaster, not even looking at the fact it's a world first :)If you look at some construction pictures, the train enters the building, and it exits it about 8/10 meters below, going backwards. So I think the above sounds the most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dummiguy Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I've just posted these pics of the construction and can't be bothered to do it again but if you want to see the pictures heres a link! Photo's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteknuckle Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Great pictures there.I did'nt relise that lift would be that tall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie W Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 This was on another forum a few days ago, to show what it may look like with SW6 in place.Now, I'm thinking that if this is accurate, and to scale, that having that station so close to Rita would have to result in a Retheme. Having those two conflicting themes would be a travesty, and would really let the park down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I agree, as has been mentioned in other places, unlike Air and Nemesis, these 2 themes are too close and too different to be that close to each other and I think Rita will definitely be getting a re-theme and hopefully the amount of theming it should have had when it first opened.I also agree with WhiteKnuckle that when seeing those pictures at first, I had almost forgotten there was going to be a main lift and I too surprised me how tall it was.

ThorpeParkry Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I really like the name Mortalis which has been talked about on TowersTimes. It has a real mythological feel about it. Mortalis is also the name of a book about Demons, this would fit in with the "ride the demon" which is displayed on the advertising posters across the park.EDIT: I'm probably looking into this far too much, but after typing 'Mortalis' into Google, and then clicking on page 6, (SW6), the first article says "Into the Woods". Coincidence or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
