After seeing the demo with NL.. I think it looks.... bad.... I hope it works or runs better then in No Limits.. but I think this will be a flop.

I personally think that the train design is just...bad. The inside seat must suck. The trackplan they had sucked too.

I thought it was actually Kind of like X, but with only one side. I think it looks pretty fun.

it's simple

That NL model was kinda lame. I hope the ones that actually get built are better

more visibility than other coasters? How can that inside seat offer more visibility? I think the succes of the ride kind of depends on how easy it is to "flip" the car. If it requires much effort, the main point of this ride will be lost b/c who wants a work out while they are on a roller coaster?

Its the same ride like X why are they saying its a new ride its not its a copy

Yea, the ride doesn't have controlled cars I don't think, it looks more like the cars flip the same every ride.

from what i read about it you will be in complete control of how much spin.

The coaster looks unique IMO, it doesn't seem like X at all because on X the seats are like programmed to different positions to give different ride experiences. This is just like a coaster doing a summersault. Although I do admit the cars are lacking, but I'd definitely give this ride a chance if I had a chance to.

Anyone have a better idea where in Central Florida this guy is building this?

Possible locations any guess is good at this point as the article says nothing really confirmed so they must feel pretty good that they have on sold. Or maybe this is a marketing ploy to get other people intereasted and push up the purchase..
Anyway any number of places one could go here are just a few of the more amusement type entertainment places.

Oldtown in Kississimme

Fun Spot Action park in Orlando http://www.fun-spot.com/

Ripleys Believe or not could even do one http://www.ripleys.com/welcome.html

Wonder Works has a coaster in its logo around the building like in the article http://www.wonderworksonline.com/html/default.htm

Could be any number of large resturants or even hotels. What if its IOA's new ride in the Jurasic park area. I dont know anything other than whats in the news article and can only speculate on a location.

It's an interesting idea but I don't know how it would actually work safely. With X, it's designed to flip in certain areas at certain times in the ride. If the riders have control, they could put themselves in a position that is uncomfortable or even dangerous during certain elements. G's will act differently on the body depending on how you're positioned. So I'm guessing that the layouts will be fairly basic or that it put into either nuetral positions or a specific position during certain elements, inversions etc.

Or they could counter weight the seats so it minimalizes the amount of flippage you actually get.

Edit: SheiKra

the ferris wheel looks like the one at fun spot, and im pretty sure thats where they would put it. I dont know if it would be in orlando or kissimmee but fun spot owns both parks. I dont think they have room at the one on international drive, so kissimmee is more likely. they have plenty of room there.

My guess is Olde Town in Kissimmee. My understanding is that they just bought some more land by the Sky Coaster there.
