Project 2012

I really don't mind answering questions as long as it's not something that requires a picture.

CarterGee, from what I can see it would appear that the first launch happens right after you're leaving the station and then you're launched again in the building's entry tunnel. I don't have any idea how fast the launches are.

Griffonrox, it's not.

okay cool. I wasn't sure if we were going to have a BBW/LNM "casual stroll through the woods" moment or if we were blasting out right away.

 

[griffonrox]

Ohhh well.

From what I've seen from the layout, that's a very short distance from the two launches. I remember being a curve right out of the station, a bit of a straight path, then another curve into the building.

I was looking for a side view of that part of the ride, not an aerial.

Going to back to our discussion about sponsorship, i will DIE if something like this happens: http://forum.towerstimes.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=28959&start=90

Yea I really don't want the rude sign and then next to it a Voltzwagen logo larger then the actual ride sign that reads "Ride (Insert ride name here) and always remember to ads auto?" Or anything like that would male me blow up!!!!

Guys, I can assure you nothing like that is going to happen. BGW may have disappointed me in the past but they could not possibly sink that low.

Then explain the beetle in the concept images! Oh the humanity!

 

[Parkgoer]

The beetle images that looked nothing like a beetle but more so a generic front end?

I would love to post it again, but it DEFINITELY looked like a Volkswagon Beetle. Someone try and tell me it doesn't

I remember someone on the forums telling us that the Beetle image is a generic car image used for the the CAD program that they're using to design concepts for the ride. It's basically there to show the general size of a car. I'm guessing they're planning on having a wall with a car's front end plowed through it, the car will probably be made to look like a generic German car (hopefully something less modern).

Oh yeah....I do remember that now.....

I don't follow that site. I was referring to the colored rendering. Either way, the taillights positioning is significantly higher than what they actually are on a beetle as well as much wider C pillars. Rear window shape/positioning is also very far off.

I'm kinda hoping for a car like this.

It's a 1939 Mercedes Benz.

 

[griffon09]

That would look really cool!

The car in that picture isn't part of the train, it's part of the themeing in front of the station.

Yea, I know.

Is there any indication exactly why kind of special effects are going to be in the building? i.e. Are the hands fully animatronic or do they just kind of move as a whole?

 

[Zoomy]

There really aren't any details about what the effects are or what they do, just the basic layouts. I think there will be some sort of mist or fog effect, the fire alarm has special smoke sensing cameras/software that can tell the difference between smoke, mist, dust, fog, ect.

 

[pandorazboxx]

From the drawings didn't it look like at the end/past the hands the track/car will drop then launch out?
