Spinning Dive Coaster Hybrid? lol

[HumphreyHawk]

That Mack spinner launch would be such a lower ppl/hr....it would have huge lines with just one train and 3 cars.  If SDC builds that they will probably also 2x the sales for trailblazer passes :/. Hope that's not a plan.

I have a vision of a launch up to a stalled area sort of like Cheetah Hunt and then that plunge from up there

I'd be ok with this....especially if the trains had both traditional floorless cars in front and maybe the spinner cars in rear.  Do a 'hybrid' train that gave different experiences based on where you ride.

Was able to get photos today. I'll try to get them posted Thursday.  Lots of footers.  Clear shot from TNT queue of work zone now.  We'll see how long that lasts.

Wow, talk about clear cutting.

HumphreyHawk, without knowing any of the actual details I can pretty much guarantee that this thing will have more than one train. They aren't that dumb. It will definitely be a lower PPH than their other coasters and have big lines, but not catastrophically slow ones. I'll bet they run three trains of four cars each during at least the first few years.

Insane how much more visible all that is now all the sudden. Leaves falling + the bathroom make a big difference... though they've probably taken out even more trees as well.

You're looking at 12 riders per train from what I've heard.  4 carts with 4 riders sitting in rows of 2 back-to-back.

Wouldn't that be 16 riders?

[Swoosh]

Yes it would.  I was thinking of their normal train.  The SDC trains will be one cart longer

LOL>. thats the teacher part of Swoosh....  Never know when there may be a pop quiz!!.....

Sure does sound like a low RPH for all that investment. 

[Swoosh]

Depends on how many trains they can run at once.

That's what I was thinking.  But then they aren't always known for thinking about capacity to much.  I remember a few discussions where they tried to convince me that our 750pph on the train was a huge capacity, and I couldn't help thinking about the rides at Disney that do well over 2000pph in comparison.

Flooded Mine still does more riders per day than Outlaw Run
