omg people. he simply had an idea and just wanted to share it with all of you and get opinons. it doesn't mean he's trying to bump up his post count. honestly, the majority of the people on this site i've seen so far have only criticized and put down those who aren't just obsessing over the latest new coaster or ride. they're just having fun. that's what this site is for. geez... BTW, i think it looks awesome, photoshopped, but still cool.

wait a minute..........i've seen a real ride identical to this. If that is photoshopped, its a lot like a real ride.

I'll find the video or picture.


EDIT: I know where. it was on a video about Rita, for some reason they showed BPB first. That has a ride like this that goes upside down, it looks very similar. Haven't been there for years so don't know what its called or anything.................

You are thinking of Bling (http://www.coastergrotto.com/photo.jsp?pic=36r27.jpg) which is a Mondial Top Scan (http://flatrides.com/Ride%20Index%20Pages/topscan.html)

If you look back at the first post, he said it was a photoshop combo of multiple rides

That 'Bling' ride isn't a Top Scan.

thorpe has one - used to be at chessington. a very fun ride but its not like that BPB one at all - so what ride is the BPB ride? anyone know? the seats resemble a topscan even if the rest of it dosn't.

Well actually there is kind of this ride in Europe, I think in Germany. Take a look at this link

I know for sure I saw a video of this ride in action and while its not as fast as Frisbee it gives you a kick.
