So there’s a way to tell that it’s a floorless vs traditional looper now? LoL

[SafetySam]

So we know the company that manufactures the coaster pieces for B&M is located in Ohio, so does anybody know where the other companies are located

[tarheel1231]

Mack's plant is in Germany...

[SafetySam]

Well so much for spying on them

[Edwardo]

The only track made in the US is B&M and S&S (most of it now by RMC’s fabrication), and I think someone in the US does all US vekomas, but I don’t know who. Or they may ship it now. Granted that could all change since Sansei purchased Vekoma.

Vekoma had been working with Chance Rides.

Isnt setpoint also here in the USA, I think Utah or Nevada, or somewhere out west cant remember exactly. I did get invited to tour there facility though haha!

I mean Hulk goes 67 mph and it’s only 110 feet tall, but who knows? As much as we currently know about the coaster, we still don’t have any of the specs.

3 1/2 more months...

The hulks launch is 40mph.

[CCookieMonster]

Just because the launch is 40 doesn't mean gravity doesn't play a role at the bottom of the first zero-g roll. Plus, maverick is only 105ft tall and has a high speed of 70 mph, so anything is possible. No ride has to be 456 ft tall to reach a super fast speed... just my two cents.

[SafetySam]

I agree I'm not so much interested in the height, I would rather have another coaster that reaches 70+; but even with height it could start out like Afterburn, it reaches to 113 ft, I don't now the actual height of the station but its gotta be 20 to 30 feet of off the ground when it starts out

Setpoint nolonger makes coasters.

I forgot about Premier. Not sure who fabricated their rides.

^^ As far as afterburn is concerned, the station is off the ground plus the height of the ground at the station is MUCH higher than the height of the ground at the bottom of the drop by another 20-30 feet. If the drop is 113 feet, the lift is probably only about 60-70 feet or so above the station. (That's a very uneducated guess but you get the point.)

I'd like to see 60+ mph coaster and height could have nothing to do with it if it's a launch.

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

I see the first launch being around 50 and the 2nd maybe 70 or so. I am hoping the top hat style element is about 140ft tall. I dont see it setting records for speed or anything but based on the blueprint the 2nd launch should be faster than the first.... But then again, some of us may already know all the specs.... Oh well, guess we will see!!!
