News - Chessington's Project 2023: World Of Jumanji & B&M Shuttle Wing Coaster

The recent rumors about Legoland Deutschland's B&M Wing shuttle coaster reminded me about Chessington's. Figured we should have a thread for it. Leaked plans here: https://www.reddit.com/r/rollercoasters/comments/p113sl/chessington_bm_wing_shuttle_coaster/

B&M impulse coasters are awesome to make in RCT..... bring in the crowds for not a lot of money

RTC B&Ms were awesome. PC Intamins were awesome. But not the inverse.

That's......that's a lift hill. So this one isn't a shuttle.

Wait, so there's a lift hill? How's it going to shuttle? Is this just a mini wing coaster?

I'm renaming the thread. Does anyone have an updated layout prediction?

You have seen how some parks can make a shuttle with a lift, correct? Gerstlauer comes to mind. I don’t see why they couldn’t be doing something similar to that. Granted most of them are launched, but almost all of them have some kind of backward element.

Actually, I think the first helix will be different than pictured. It looks to me like it will drop to the ground and then spiral up. The rest looks accurate.


And yes lift hills can be used on shuttles but I haven't seen a shuttle coaster have a lift with a curve at the top like this, and there's a support for the drop after it.

Switch track. Think like switchback at zdts. Like that same concept.
