^^^I think he said that he's keeping the lamp in there to show that he can build a small coaster even with large obstructions like that.

I can't really tell by the pics, but did you fix the cobra roll? Oh, and like ^^ said, won't you have to move the whole coaster for the booster to stay inside?

...He already said he was going to do that. Read please.

CANCELED:

This coaster never had any motive. I didn't have space (more like 5x3 gray rods) and desire. I think if I wanted to I could do really awesome in the competition but I just feel like doing something fun rather than limit my possibilities for a competition. Plus, I made a deal with BGT that if I won I'd forget the money and have a purple name tag, but BGT made the Builders club with purple name tags. So, I think that motivated me to make way better rides.

My next ride will be where my other coaster is. It'll be a Flying coaster, however there won't be a lift. It will be more similar to X than the normal flying coaster. I'll start it maybe in a week or so.

^No lift=launch???

Anyways, a flyer will be interesting coming from you. I was sort of expecting this to be canceled (no offense) given the fact that it never really got past the cobra roll

So now I think it would be appropriate to give us the planned layout (what it was supposed to be) unless you don't even know yourself

To bad you canceled it. :sdd At least you didn't build a lot and then have to take it all down.

If you do launch your flyer, even though it doesn't seem probable, it would be fun to ride.

Haha, yes, it will be a launch. However I might go prototype-style with this, soI can't really compare it to anything. I only have half the layout so far, and every thing is 100% original so far. The end of the ride probably won't be as original as the beginning but I'll try my best.

Hm, now that I think of it, the closest thing in comparison is Volcano: The Blast coaster with an X-ish twist. I guess you'll just find out once I build it. I'm taking someones advice from awhile back and making fun use of the desk the track will race around.

Oooohhhh, desk+coaster=fun!

Anyways, so this will sort of be comparable to X except in flyer form? Sounds interesting... *wishes that IMC would make new thread now with pics*

Vekoma actually released the launched flyer concept at the Euro Attractions Show 2006, but none have been built...

Even the Flying Dutchman, Vekoma´s version of the flying coaster, is now available as a launch coaster. The 1055 meters of track on a footprint of 166*74 meters look like a disorientating clew. The speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour is the fastest of all launched models, but due to technical reasons the launch is at present performed lying on the back only. At the end of the launch track the passangers are turned by 180 degrees into flying position.
