Vulcan is a very ambitious B&M Strata coaster that is essentially if I designed Fury 325 but made it way, way bigger. STATS -Height: 413 ft -Speed: 107 mph -Length: 9535 ft -Inversions: 0 -Airtime Moments: 20
The first drop and drop off the MCBR in the back seat would have insane ejector. I like how the first half was all about speed, but still with some airtime, then the second half was purely about airtime hills. I would be thrilled to see B&M build this one.
this is way better than fury, and not just becasue it bigger but the elements are way cooler like the over-bank speed hill at 1:13 would push your soul away from your body for those 2 seconds. The portion after the mid-course brakes is a bit too long imo, but w.e, everything else is a beauty.
In my personal opinion, if you eliminated the midcourse break run with something like a double down or a sustained floater hill like on Orion, then this would EASILY be the single greatest B&M ever. I personally think midcourse breaks kill the ride. Not just this ride but every ride. I’ve ridden steel vengeance at cedar point and my biggest complaint with it was the midcourse.
That was my main inspiration for the first half but also trying to go outside the box with the wave turn and the weird twist-treble-clef-half-ampersand thing.
Interesting but I like how you have a mid course break run but b&m with gigas usually put a bit of extra brakes to act as a midcourse break run right before final brake run and the strata concept is interesting with b&m
Thank you for pointing that out! I actually decided to include a mid course because with the default dispatch interval a train would block check at the top of the lift so adding a mid course and the extra long giga break run not only makes the interval faster but also allows this ride to run with 4 trains.
