Please stay on topic. Thank you.

Right. But it's the same ride system.

I like Dragonflier. It is a lot more fun than I expected. So that type of ride with a theme could do well.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Oh yeah! That’s probably the easiest thing to cut from the project though…. I hope it makes it cause that show scene has lots of potential

The elevator lift is essential to the ride’s story.

It's required to fit the coaster into the space, and as mentioned a part of the story.

Probably takes the same amount of space, I’m not arguing against it - I’m saying I really hope it happens since it looks cool.

It is wild how good Vekoma has gotten. Dragonflier and Big Bear Mountain Coaster are great examples. I hope Monsters is as smooth.

People are talking about the suspended roller coaster for that land.

Yes. They’ve finally moved away from awful headbangers.

I’d imagine it has to be given how essential the door’s rising up to go to the vault is, Josh even made a point of saying it on stage.

 

[celluloid]

Yes. They’ve finally moved away from awful headbangers.

And are now becoming sought after for a variety of thrills and are very reliable while doing it.

 

[Tha Realest]

Absolutely. The issue with AC is it would cost more because they’d need to build more and build offices elsewhere…and still have an empty Muppet Courtyard area.

I think one of the other factors was that Monster Inc land can drop easily onto the MV/Star Tours footprint, whereas the AC area can be built out in a much more meaningful way for a more aggressive future expansion.

What if, one day, DHS had more than 10 rides?

You Sir are a tease

I was making a general remark, not pointing to specific posts. Discussing the coaster system being considered is OK - straying into discussions about other parks/attractions is not.

Do we have instances of elevator lifts for entire trains? I guess the drop tracks on Hagrid’s are similar in principle.

I hope this novel element isn’t a source of significant downtime. This should have some impressive AAs that will have reliability issues of their own. Can’t run the ride if the Mike Wazowski that interacts with your train has gone limp. I suspect this concern will cause some characters to just appear on screens placed in doors.

Is there a system that allows each individual car to lift and the join together as a train?

There have been proposals for coaster trains that temporarily separate their cars but I don’t think they’ll do that on a suspended coaster using lifts. RotR reveals the perils of stringing together too many ride systems, even if the result can be really cool.

Not really the same but for elevators you have Cobras Curse in Busch Gardens Tampa which takes 2 cars up at the time which is that rides “train”. And for drop tracks you have hagrid or verbolten in BGW that would share that system.

Probably no reason they can’t elevate with a track that can drop. It’ll look a little strange looking to your side and seeing another track falling as you rise, however. Can’t avoid that in a big room, though.

That could be fairly cool though and a little trippy. I think I'd like that! Marie

It’s a good thing there are no recent examples of that which would be cause for concern.
