Theme Park Discussion / B&M give us a new inversion to build in RCT

  • Roomie%s's Photo
    Hey guys

    B&M are building a new Flyer at World Joyland in China, The ride will feature B&M's first Normal loop on a flyer, 2 outside corscrews and more interestingly a first of a kind 540-zero-g-roll (There is no official name yet)

    If you look carefully on this image you can see it after the horseshoe turn.

    It is essentially a zero-g-roll on a flyer with an extra 180degree twist on the uphill section

    This NL made video shows it better.

    Not easy to recreate in RCT though :S

    Thankfully it looks like they are still using the trademark B&M box-spine track. That video made it look like a hybrid of Vekoma rails and train along with a B&M box spine.

    Looks interesting,i was gonna attempt to build something like this using custom scenery (since rct doesn't support downward zero-g rolls) for the flyer i built in h2h last year.

    I agree, B&M has been doing some great efforts to get a more varied ride type and experience to build, like this and the wingrider they are building in Gardaland... Good to see them think outside the box

    It looks a tad too short

    This one'll be fun to try and figure out! Looks like a doozy. Maybe they'll start building Dive Machines that go past 90* next?

    On top of that they have 2 new S&S launched rides at the Happy Valley Parks which are somewhat different to anything they have built before :)
    I expect to see one or two of these in RCT parks soon too

    Wow...Has anyone every been to Happy Valley? It looks like a really good park...

    The new flyer is called Starry Night Ripper Anybody have more pics of the SNR (abbreviation for Starry Night Ripper)? Hopefully, 8cars can put these elements in RCT2. Else, we'll have to defy the Amazing Earl Law somehow-

    Since we are unable to program a new Ride completely from scratch, our projects must be based on an existing Ride in RCT2

    It's nice to see B&M becoming more and more innovative. Especially with all the criticism they get about their "cookie cutter" layouts.
