Would it be possible for them to load 2 cars at once, send them both out of the station at the same time then immediately stoping the 2nd car until it is able to go. Whilst this is happening the next 2 cars could be loaded and in the time it takes to load the cars the 2nd car should be already up the lift hill?ryanyoxall wrote: One thing I'm still puzzled about is if they use normal eurofighter cars, then how on earth are they going to get a throughput of any more than 1000 people per hour?

Yeah but your missing what i said , i cant see how the world 1st would be self duelling, i don't think the words "self duelling" with entice people, i cant see that being marketable.James6 wrote: It's a massive coaster with loads of inversions and various elements, with what looks like great theming. What is there not for them to get excited about? They will eat it up.
Hmmm, would that count as a proper inversion though considering you aren't moving? It would be a fairly awful experience, just static rotating 360 degrees.James6 wrote: Ahh sorry! I see what you mean but they'll find a way, if it won't entice the public, i'm sure they'll just market another element.
Also I've been thinking about the indoor section, and these constant rumblings of the inversion record. Maybe they could have a special track element within the building similar to this...

This gives them a World First in a fairly small space. Another benefit would be that if the inversion record was ever broken, they could just increase the number of inversions it did.
Just a thought
(And I'm not suggesting the ride will be an MS, this just showed what I was imagining best)
SAW runs this strategy. You get a talk from the Billy Doll if you are in the second car.Bubbaride wrote:Would it be possible for them to load 2 cars at once, send them both out of the station at the same time then immediately stoping the 2nd car until it is able to go.

This would be loading 16 (i think) people at one time instead of just 8
Sorry if this doesn't make sense, it does in my head I just can't put it into words.
