Some information about the ride,
__________________________________________________The unique Mega-Lite Coaster belongs to the family of high coasters, with the first drop of almost 30m, resulting in train speeds up to almost 90 km/h.
The layout is characterized by steep hills and drops, high speed horizontal turns at or close to ground level, over-banked curves, a twisting winding ‘up & down’ middle section, air-borne S-curves, and the hilly camel backs and bunny humps towards the end of the ride. As there are no overhead figures foreseen, open design trains with lapbars can be used to further enhancing the thrill experience. It is however also possible to use the newly developed Intamin shoulder-bars, which are of very soft material and light design. With this restraint system the height restriction might be brought down.
As a result of the impressive height and speed, coaster technology applied has to be at its most advanced for the track fabrication procedures, train design, lift transportation as well as for the braking system. Intamin accomplishes this superior level of manufacturing and design.
So far I have the first drop and half the buckel built. The exit side of the buckel is still unsupported, and should be finished during the week.
Here's pictures of what I have so far, and a test video.
