Mack Rides tested a "Spinning Car" on Blue Fire at Europa Park and the results are absolutely BONKERS! Who thinks this looks AWESOME?!?!?! (Note: this was only for a test and Blue Fire does not actually have a spinning car on it)
Can't believe that this prototype led to the creation of Time Traveler at Silver Dollar City. It still amazes me to this day on how far roller coaster technology has come.
+texasboykc09 Would be better if they would make a new coaster that focuses on spinning cars and inversions. Just having the euro mir as a coaster with spinning cars is kinda meh. I WANT MOAR!
You've done it again MACK. This breaks literally all the previous rules for spinning coasters, I know it's only a test but if they've shown this I reckon they are happy with the project so far! Launched inverting spinning coaster. Nice. (I know it's just a test but the fact that they've shown us the footage is good and means they believe in this ride type)
I was talking to my friends today about what coaster I'd have in my dream park, and I actually said I wanted a launched spinning coaster with inversions
Its not a spinning coaster. Its a test for the looping multi launch spinning coaster Time Traveler at Silver Dollar City In 2018. Theye are testin with blue fire because. It have a launch, it have inversions and it not far to waldkirch.
Yes! yes! yes! I hope this happens. The ride it self with a spinning car is freaking fantastic. With the loop and the car spinning prob. makes it a good experience.
Pour la première fois depuis 25 ans je ne vais pas à Europa Park cette année... Et eux ils en profite pour craquez leurs SLIPS!!! Damn... Mack vous êtes des P*TAIN DES GENIES!!!
DANG IT! I loved Europa Park when I went there, but it's around a seven hour drive for me! (From Holland)! I wish I were there when this whole spinning car idea was happening. Oh well, does look AMAZING THO. I absolutely adored Blue Fire when I was there so spinning cars must just make it in-sane-ly fun! Great idea! P.s. Dramatic Edit much? :P
+Rave Bear Maybe for a new coaster. After all. Been a while since they made a spinning car (Euromir). Or maybe it's for an another theme park. Wait n see
ripperino perfect heartlinerino :'( ...But Wait! What If It Was Not Kill! Mack engineers are truly geniuses... I love what Europapark does but too many people want to visit it and now you need to wait 50+ minutes almost every day of the year on almost every ride D: (especially the new ones because for some reason it usually takes 2/3 years for the rides to be fully efficient: when it opened Blue Fire had two trains. Now, four of those amazing trains run this incredible track)
Seems totally unsafe by any reasonable thinking... but also totally awesome. Which I suppose is kind of the point of roller coasters in general, but this... this is a crazy new level.
This looks awesome anI only live 20 minutes away from blue fire :) i want this to be on the ride! But wiuldn't the launch be a bit painful if you are sitting backwards??
+Trolliver Yes but still would be worse than a lounsh backwards the hartline roll on this Coaster is bad but still fun I know I was in it (not in the Spinning car)
you know how on big coasters they sometimes have the straps that go over your shoulders, that coaster doesn't and you go upside-down a lot and while your going upside-down your spinning, it just seems safer if you put the straps that go over the shoulders
well, now that I think about it, bigger people will be able to ride in that cart, while where in rides with shoulder straps, bigger people will be in more harm to fall out than with none
+Luwindy With today's technolegy, lap bars are actually safer. Look up Superman Ultimate Flight or Buzzsaw. Those coasters both are upside down for several seconds with lap bars, and there's so many rmc's that do inversions with lap bars. Over the shoulder restraints are sometimes rough too
+Trolliver They only said, that in 2017 a big new attraktion is comming. What Kind it is, they dont say. But I thing in the next few weeks we know more.
+TheCoasterCompleater This is such a dangerous ride with spinning cars, I mean just look at 0:30 when they pass through the tunnel, they could have gotten killed!
