Mr. AmusementLabs, do you have any theories on maybe why parks/coaster manufacturers have not yet built a ride with the first drop going really deep into the ground to make the drop even bigger without having to just build the lift hill taller and taller? seems like it would be easier and possibly even cheaper to just make the first drop go further into the ground.

Just rode this 5 times last week and it's easily my favorite coaster ever! This ride uses some cool technology but I have to mention a funny thing I noticed. In the breaking section at the very end on the lower right side I noticed what looked like a literal garden hose spraying onto the track and just pouring to the ground and I thought it looked out of place. That night my wife saw an article saying they are still having a ha rd time keeping the track cool and it is indeed a literal garden hose just spraying the track lol. Sometimes you have to go back to the basics!
@AmusementLabs3 жыл бұрын
Yes, this is true. Since the ride doesn't have a rolling station or more ideal: more block brakes the trains sit for a bit. Most of the ride is uncovered which is bad in the Florida heat for steel. Idk who decided to paint the entire ride black in the Florida heat, but it's certainly not doing it any favors in terms of cooling. The wheels are a polyurethane which has a low glass transition temp. When they're in contact with the hot black steel for an extended period of time, they can develop level spots and that makes the wheels rapidly deteriorate since they're no longer round.
@AmusementLabs3 жыл бұрын
They're looking to replace the wheels right now with something more resistant to heat, but that's the one benefit of polyurethane, it's a bit soft and makes it ride faster. The best they can do right now is to keep the track cold with water. It hasn't been floated, but I seriously think they may end up painting the track a different color if the new wheels don't do the trick.

Didn't seem to have TOOO many bugs, thats Hagrid's:) (nothing serious, it is just a ride with a LOT of elements and hence greater potential for problems) Its a helluva thing when you can end your work night with a ride! It had some finicky little bugs (insider info: ALL rides have "bugs") but nothing at all serious, more like the lighting and the shotgun gates. Occasionally you get a hiccup with the LSMs but that is to be expected. Overall (and especially for an Intamin) its a pretty reliable ride, I think Intamin is really perfecting the blitz coaster and I expect (hope) that all future blitzes from Intamin will be fairly reliable.

I have loved coasters since the first time I rode one. The first time I rode a B&M hyper, I was stunned. The height, the speed, the sheer momentum. Even though they lack inversions, it's everything that makes roller coasters great, distilled into the most pure elements. I thought it couldn't get any better. Until I rode Velocicoaster. That ride is a game changer. Not a foot of track is wasted. So far this year I've ridden it about 20 times. My wife asked me if I've gotten tired of it. Not at all. Every time I notice something different about the ride, the queue, the theming... The attention to detail is just incredible. Like it was just pointed out to me that the Raptor Encounter attraction is right next to the second launch of Velocicoaster, and there's even a track in the path between the two. Raptors go from the raptor encounter into the paddock. Subtle theming, but incredible attention to small details. I love this ride.

Hands down the best ride of all time. The roll over on the lagoon, it's unlike anything I have ever experienced. You basically become weightless while spinning, it's weird. And it's the smoothest coaster I've ever been on. Chang is my number 2, but this badboy blows that out the water.

Great info on an amazing ride! But um, how are the lap bars locked in place? We rode it 4 times about 3 weeks ago and it was a blast. But that last time my 8yo was sitting in front of me instead of beside. The second he put his little hands in the air, I became hyper aware that seemingly only a set of hinges was keeping his butt in that seat. It genuinely gave me nightmares. So can someone please tell me about multitude of locking mechanisms that keep you from being tossed into the lake? Please and thank you!
@AmusementLabs3 жыл бұрын
It's mechanical. There's a latching tooth that is prevented from moving by a pawl. The restraint would have to shear off the steel pawl in order to even move a bit, but there's 2 for redundancy. In order to slip out of the restraints, you would have to break both your femurs.

@coastercarson2 жыл бұрын
@@AmusementLabs I know this is old but this is actually incorrect. What you just described is a “ratcheting” restraint which clicks going down, and is held by a latching tooth. This rollercoaster uses HYDRAULIC restraints, which are restraints that freely move and are held in place by multiple hydraulic locks, which are the same hydraulic locks used on airplanes. Basically, these hydraulic locks are FAR more secure than ratcheting locks and are actually even safer than what you described!

I rode it without any spoil nor any idea of the layout. And man, that was good. The surprise added so much to the intensity of the ride. I was screaming of joy the whole time but nearly lost my voice with the second launch coming from nowhere. Never screamed so high in a coaster my whole life, from the heart. My best coaster ever. To bad I'm from France and I have really few chances to ride it again. But the good thing is Intamin is building a multi launch coaster of the same type in France and I can't wait. Ps: I will never spoil myself with ride video again now.

This is UNREALISTICALLY GOOD! I finally tried it today, after waiting along months. When I saw it by my eyes, I went into serious fear. It is giant. Threatening. Furious. I thought I was going to faint when my time was coming in the lane kkk. But when me and my boyfriend road it, we loved it SO, SO MUCH that we road it 4 times in a row. It’s simply WONDERFUL. It’s so much fast, I can’t explain how much fast it is. The acceleration is insane. The second launch is unbelievably fast. But it’s SMOOTH, wonderfully fluid. There are no impacts, there is no pression on your head after drops ou corners, things that you expect from a intense roller coaster. No. This is not it’s vibe, you barely feel the rail. Maybe the meaning of the ride is to make you feel that you are flying or something, honestly! In a magical way. I didn’t feel scared when I was riding it. I felt only wellness and hapiness. So many times my butt went out of the seat, and usually I hate that, but here it is organic, funny, light. It seems like you are part of the roller coaster or something like that. Unexplicable! By far the best ride I have ever been on, including Hulk and these legendary roads from US. If you have the opportunity, just RIDE IT!

I really enjoyed some of the details in the video although I feel like you skipped over what I consider the best locker design at UO. It's not until close to load (so you have your stuff for most of the line), and the lockers themselves are double sided, so the entry and exit crowds never mix.
