Just stumbled across this after following the rides progress for a few months.
it appears the ride has opened and it looks pretty compact and twisted

http://www.pax.ru/eng/news41/index.htm
the ride is at Erlebnispark Strasswalchen in Austria. and built by the up and coming russian company pax

Wow thats compact. But I saw something I dont really see. I saw both trains fairly close. Thats not good

That ride's supports on the helix thingamabobber look like the supports on the vekoma family suspended, but only a little shorter.

It looks weird ?? like someones first NL coaster

Yeah it looks kind of weird! Pax is a strange company, with strange ideas! Just look at their 'chain-thing-powertower' in Wiener Prater! Their Russian for something

Hmm? I have been to wiener prater... and the only "tower" i saw was the S&S one thats next to the boomerang. they do have the starflyer ride (thats on a tower) but thats FunTime. and then the "2 towers" of the slingshot.. that are next to the starflyer.
what ride were you talking about?

I don't know how it's called, but it's a blue tower and when I asked the ride-op, he said it was a pax ride.

the blue tower that was like the really tall flying swings?
thats a FunTime made Starflyer ride. its the first in the world.
i went on it in the spring and it was really cool..

Well, I guess the ride-op was trying to be funny then

and you Rlr.. dont spam by saying "dont do that" without any help to the topic :-P

so.. yeah its FunTIme.. but maybe pax made the tower itself? because on paxs site it says they make radio towers.. so they may have helpped?

Haha, My mom loves the little swings at regular theme parks, I just showed her that starflyer and she freaked! she was like "My god, and I thought swings were the only things that wouldn't scare me".

Wow, that must get horrible ride time (people per hour-however you say it). There's like 12 people at a time.

Anywho, that ride goes that high and only those little lap bars. That is insane!

It Probably gives you a "Omg, this is my last ride, LET ME DOWN!!" kind of feeling because of the little slide up and down lapbars.

I think that the StarFlyer looks very awsome! I really want to ride it.
