The next big B&M Coaster?
« on: February 22, 2006, 11:51:03 PM »
I think the next B&M coaster would be a kneeler?

You kneel and the coaster goes like 60mph, and it has inversions. What do you people think?

This coaster could work?

I think we will see more Dive Machines than anything else. Especially with the success of Sheikra.

I keep on saying to myself.. they are bound to come out with something big new and unbelievable.  I just dont know what or when.  But its about time we see them hit the market like they used to.

I don't know about a kneeling coaster.  You don't want to put that much pressure on the knees, and restraining a person would be hard in that position.  I think that the motorbikes will take off once a major US park gets one.  Same with Eurofighters.

As for the next innovation, I have no clue.  What I'd like to see would be the "rocket sled".  Take Kingda Ka, but lay everyone down on their backs.  That would be fun.  Somewhat impratical, but fun.

Not for a few years. BG and B&M signed a deal that they can't make dive machines for X amount of years.

B&M will come out with a launch of their own eventually.

I doubt it highly that they will make a launched coaster.  B&M made statements that they would not make any launched coasters or anything over 300 feet.  I think they are going to stick to that forever.  The only reason we have Hulk is because IOA got an outside contractor to do the launch.

I think that B&M will make launched coasters, but if and only if they can build one that is as reliable as they want their coasters to be.  They rely too much on their coasters being workhorses for them to risk spoiling the brand with unreliable launched coasters.

I think B&M will eventually make a launched coaster using a new launch technique. Who knows what they will come up with  :D

I still don't think they will.  They will do something outragous with the old technique...using a CHAIN LIFT!  :lol:  4D maybe ;)
