| | | Gardaland and the Screaming Squirrel
According to RCDB, Gardaland in Italy will be getting the first S&S Screaming Squirrel in 2005. Dammit, I want one in the states because that concept just looks plain sick! The ride is yet to be named. Sorry, the computer I'm on doesn't allow me to paste so you'll have to go over to RCDB yourself. Not a whole lot of info is up yet, though. |

That's great news to hear, I might be heading over to Italy within the next year. I was planning just to go to Mirabilandia, but maybe I can throw Gardaland in too.

| | | ^Strange. Or maybe RCDB doesn't know yet. Maybe it could be taller then the concept model. |

| | | Haven't you seen it? It obviously doesn't go upside down, lol, they just tipped the camera over and made everybody gel their hair up so that it sticks up.
This looks awesome. I really want to ride one of these. |

| | | Maybe because the ride has no complete inversions. It just jumps upside-down then "re-rights" itself. They don't count Mindbender(SFoG)'s insanely-banked helix as an inversion, so why should they count the drops on the Screaming Squirrel inversions? I can see why they don't count them.
As far as none in the US, don't expect that to stay that way. If nothing else, I think S&S would put one in their FEC that they're building in Utah as a showcase.

| | "Inversions - the physical number of inversions on a roller coaster. This will be half the number traveled on a shuttle roller coaster with inversions. To counted as an inversion the element must turn rides a full 180° upside-down."
Thats straight from RCDB.
Screaming Squirrel flips you over 180 degrees, am I correct? I think RCDB is breaking its own rule. |

| | | It lists 0 inversions probably because the layout hasn't been released yet. Gardaland's SS won't apparently be the same Squirrel S&S has showed in the past. |

| | | it'd be perfect for somewhere like SFEG.
Hopefully the Uk will get one, europe is getting so many good rides this year: 1 x-car, a screaming squirrel, first giant swing, sky swatter, Rita (rocket at AT), a custom SLC and a booster bike. I think theres another smaller x-car been built somewhere too. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
