With SW7 lingering around the corner, SW8 will hopefully follow in 2016 with yet another world beating concept but what would you like to see as a world first element? Post you world beating concepts here! :D

A sideways roller-coaster.
It doesn't move forwards or backwards it moves sideways  8)

A top spin connected to a top spin  :D so it would be a pair of rotating arms connected to another pair of rotating arms connected to the swinging car  8)

Not very exciting and a waste of money but a rotating roller coaster... the whole roller coaster is on a rotating platform  :| but still, never been done

I have thought of this before, I don't know why it hasn't been done! It may have to be on a small scale though because a fast forceful sideways coaster could be extremely painful and uncomfortable  :shock: but imagine banking 90 degrees you would either be laying down or facing the floor  :D

A face down flying coaster that goes 0-80 mph in 1 second only to go up 200ft verticality and then have a 120 degree drop. That is what will be the worlds first. Oh and it goes through a black hole.
In just 1 day I managed: 75 rides on stealth, 8 swarms, the dodgems and a tea cups. February half term was good.

I actually designed one of these when I was in college for my engineering project. I had to do a whole design and presentation for it. Definitely a plausible worlds first IMO :)

Having been on this death trap on the outside with two people smashing into me on every drop, i can safely say i would never go on a sideways rollercoaster.

Does SW7 even have a worlds first. Because all the banners say world beating not worlds first. Unless they said something else i didn't see

World's first Wooden ________ has a lot of potential.
Vertical Drop/Inverter. I mean, official plans have been drawn to show that a Wooden Shuttle can be bought-to-order.

Tilt-Backwards coaster would be thrilling if it was a 'dark-ride-coaster'. Would require a lot more supports however.

Vertical Wingrider track sections have potential.

what about a vertical launch?
the train would have a slow vertical chain lift or similar that would stop facing the sky a few metres up.
then it would launch upwards. am i being stupid or is this a good idea?

Worlds first entirely inverted coaster, you'd sit on, then the seats would revolve until your feet faced the sky and off you'd go, basically think upside down rita, or th1224533teen
