I really wonder if Disney would ever build a flying coaster. On one hand, there is huge narrative potential for a super immersive or themed coaster. On the other hand, the ride system is so inherently "extreme" I wonder if it's just a bridge too far into thrills. Even removing some of the super intense elements like a pretzel loop, your average Disney guest may just be totally disinterested in a coaster that dangles you off the ground like that

Well given that the GotG coaster being built now is going to one of the more extreme coasters Disney has built in their parks, it seems like they don't mind moving into the extreme territory. So a flying coaster might not be too far away...

Correction: it's going to be more timeless, more relevant, more family, and more Disney! Not more extreme.

Wow. Your repetition of the corporate line actually created a true statement. I'm sure it was a coincidence.



IOW, the GotG coaster will definitely not be an extreme coaster. It will indeed be 'family friendly.'

I don't believe in coincidences. Only Disney Magic!

Now Bob that isn't how you described it during IAAPA, plus this isn't a PR thread.

GotG will be one of Disney's more extreme coasters. That is not to say it won't be family friendly, but it will be "extreme" for a Disney Park.

We've been told it's less extreme than RnRC and there are no inversions. A spinning car doesn't lend itself to high speed if it wants to turn you to face scenes. The very, very, very rough outline that Martin drew doesn't leave much room for any type of big drop.

I guess it all depends on how one defines 'extreme'. But I'm sure Disney doesn't want a repeat of Mission: Space Green issues.

I'm basing it on the test footage shown at IAAPA which shows in movement spinning, not stopped looking at a show scene spinning.

So that leads to a more extreme albeit a family friendly experience in my book.

Martin's very, very, very rough track diagram showed a lot of helixes. I'm assuming the cars face in to watch a scene while 'strafing' it.

Then again, BTMR is 'extreme' not because of any drops, but mostly because of high speed lateral shaking back and forth.

Some people find the teacups extreme. Some people find Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln extreme.

I guess my point is...we're not building that coaster in DCA so who cares?

I guess its all based on perspective with regard to the "extreme" nature of the attraction.

So while I haven't seen Martin's diagram what I got from the description and test footage was initial show scenes where the car spins to point to each scene. And then in-track spinning to point at action as if your shooting at or avoiding the space battle and such.

Anyways we'll see how it turns out in a couple years.

Just because you're in a flying position doesn't mean the coaster can't be tamed to be something more family friendly.

Totally true, I just think even at its tamest the idea of a coaster that dangles you face down is always going to just be a giant nope from some people, no matter how slow it goes. That being said, hopefully I'm totally wrong because I'd love to see their take on it.

Yeah that's the sense I got as well. It's kinda like how cobra's curse at BGT has a normal forward section, a controlled spin to a full backwards section and finally a full free spin section. I'm doubting this will have a free spin section though

No free spin from what I got. It'll all be spinning with purpose.

The confusion might be because for a while, people thought the GotG coaster was going to be a flying coaster.

The spinning technology being used by Vekoma for Sausalito is also built upon the work they did for the Flying Dutchman 2.

Could someone share the referenced Martin’s diagram of GOTG?

I tagged you and the drawing over in the GotG thread...

A little something I drew up to give you guys an even better idea of the layout.

I can neither confirm nor deny that is a hidden Mickey... or 3 meatballs.

Ironically about just as clear

It's at this point that Paul Rudd says to himself, "Man, this Star Wars stuff is so much better than the Antman ride I was just in at Hong Kong."

Lol


“Why doesn’t my ride have an AA?”

Even better would be “they got rid of the wall of trees for this?”
