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.
In the movies the door vault is a huge warehouse, a ton of doors with a large skylight roof. So I imagine the lights would be on for this coaster? Or would they darken it to pull off effects like you listed above.
I'm not claiming any knowledge, just mentioning potential. Having shafts of bright daylight from above would be striking if they could pull off such lighting and allow for dark recesses in areas. If not, the skylights could still stay and the ride just takes place at night if needed with stars and moon above. Again, lots of potential.
It’s a pivot instead of a lift, but Vekoma’s tilt coasters move an entire train on a piece of track. The technology to lock the train and move the track was then applied to the Nondescript Coaster Themed Like India or Whatever.
The more I think about it, the more excited I get for this attraction. This can truly be a world class attraction if they don't take the easy option.
This is how to be disappointed, imagining all sorts of fantastical things that would be neat but unlikely to actually be done, then being upset they produce a good ride because it doesn't have all the imaginings and machinations dreamt up on a forum.
This attraction is very hard to mess up. Literally go by the film as basis of the coaster and add some audio animatronics of sully and boo and Mike and it will be successful.
I understand this, but I still believe we should be excited for it. I’m well aware of the value engineering that may take place here. Just hoping it doesn’t because it’s such a slam dunk idea in my opinion.
Based on the audience, I don’t think they would go too crazy with it. Maybe something like gringotts with coaster elements and a lot of slower story elements. It is possible they just go all out though on a more thrill coaster (minus inversions) but I kinda doubt it because of the IP
Not a train but the largest Elevator lift in height and car size would likely be Cannibal at Lagoon.
