I did a little search and didn't see anything, so I'm starting this thread.
I guess it should be 2006 construction, but anyway. Has anyone seen this new ride? http://rcdb.com/ig3185.htm?picture=3 It looks crazy. I had never even heard of this X-car style of coaster, but apparently there are two more of these. http://rcdb.com/installationresult.h...=1,2&model=262
I guess I missed the boat or something, but this is the first I've heard of these coasters. They look great, but has anyone been on G Force at Drayton Manor? How was it?

Those coaster look very nice. G Force haven't been built yet? It says under construction.

| | Man, I so was gonna start a thread just like this, but only when the 2006 construction forum came out. Oh well. This coaster is pretty sweet. I love this one a lot. http://rcdb.com/ig3185.htm?picture=3 It is just so unique and all. Its "SkyWheel plus Extension" Do you get this idea to start the thread after reading the article on RCDB? I bet you did. haha. This is just one of the most coolest coasters I have seen. |

| | I haven't ridden it. lol. I did start a thread about Sky Wheel now that I think of it. http://thrillnetwork.com/boards/show...ight=sky+wheel
But this thread is about the type of ride in general. I bet the coaster is awesome. With Sky Wheel plus expansion, I bet It makes the ride 10 times more fun. |

| | "The Sky Wheel uses a vertical lift" It is not a launch. For all you NL junkies, you could ride Sky Wheel yourself!! http://www.coastersims.com/viewcoaster.asp?id=10601
Its a pretty accuarte design IMO. |

| | | So what are you saying? You are going to try to create Sky Wheel or Sky Wheel plus expansion? Sky Wheel has already been done. Sky Wheel plus would be pretty cool to see. |

| | | RCDB used to have a model and rendering pic of the final expansion...But it's nowhere on there anymore. If I remember correctly, it had a vertical loop and cobra roll. I think that's pretty cool how they'll expand the coaster, I don't think that's happened before. It should be a very unique and cool coaster when complete. |

| | | What I don't get is why you made a new thread on this topic, theres already two threads open where you can discuss this topic. |
