I am surprised nobody created a topic about the 2nd 4D-coaster on Earth!
Pictures say more than words... so here are all the construction pictures.

Awsome! How come no one heard of this? Looks better than X. Is that a Zero G on a 4D?!?!?!

[CP-ephY]

this is going to be one hell of a coaster. I checked on rcdb and the height of the lift is 262'6".

I heard about it a loong time ago, before it was even being built.

And that inversion is called a "full-full" where the track does a full twist, while simultaneously the seats are doing theyre own full twist.

I hope new the trains are more stable than the ones they tested on X...Apparently they were pretty unstable with the rotations and the ride OPs refused to ride on them.

This is an insane coaster. I read it somewhere too a while back before the slightest hint of construction. The only thing that's going to suck is the last outside raven turn. on X it's so small, when you go around it you smash your head side to side on the outside car, but the insides okay. the rest is still 100% smooth besides the first two transitions.

It looks cool, but it's exactly like X except it's a little taller, and has a full-full, instead of a hill. It's just like comparing TTD with KK.

Hah, the raven looks bad on top. It goes straight. Kinda like an unsupported K'nex coaster. I like the idea of the full-full, though. Maybe CP's project 2007 will be another 4D?

I hope CP will get a 4-d. I might be able to go there in 2007. I wonder if some of the car rotations will be different than on X.

[TwistedDreams]

^^I totally noticed that. I think it won't be noticed at all because the seats will still be spinning. But it still looks wierd...

^It will. Plus this coaster has 1 more turn, and 1 more inversion.

[Chaos]

It has one extra turn? Where?

[TwistedDreams]

^Sorry, I thought it did. But it doesn't. Only thing different is the fan trun going left not right.

Off-topic:

CP will get an Intamin... and I wonder if Intamin has its own 4D model.

[Spinout]

^That would be different to see an Intamin 4D.

[CP-ephY]

The straight part of the raven turn is probably all for the sake of smoothness and reducing forces. Beats having it look nice, but then getting a beating on the ride

[Tyrant]

I am pretty sure Intamin has its own 4-D model. Almost every major company has jumped on that. After I am done studying for my Calc and Engineering metalaurgy final, I will try digging around to find it.

I know its out there though in blueprint form.

Some people think it will be a duelling Aquatrax watercoaster. Who knows...

Here is the link to the Intamin 4-D's

That is quite a bit different from Arrow 4D cars.

[Antinos]

Ok, first of all, Gump is right about CP getting an Intamin. The new supports and MF's are the same. Its not going to be a 4-d though. There aren't enough supports in some areas for it to be one. If you want more info, go check out my 'project 2007' topic im about to create.

Back on topic. This is different than X in many ways. Take the time to figure them all out.
