It'd be necessary for them to redesign that as the car in question is an uncharge add-on to a couple of launch coasters that only seats a row of two guests instead of four. Make that change and you're good to go!
News Project 2027/Purple: Delayed “World Record Breaking Coaster" (Phantom Spire?)
- Thread starter Zachary
- Start date
Oh that’s pretty cool! Maybe this new coaster will have a different set up from other extreme spinners. It’s definitely possible as it’s been a very long time since the last one was built and it really would make the experience so much better going thru the elements and hang time.
No new work on the '26 coaster today. But damn does she look good!
I have a feeling this thing will be completed up until the tower by next Saturday.
That video is beautiful. I like that tower design. Gives the coaster really a strong presence.
Does anyone know how the footers are arranged for the tower?

It's a three point stance.

If you look way back in this thread there's lots of drone shots from the winter showing the large footers down near the treeline. One was behind the fence, another was added late out in the parking lot.
I went to fact check you for a rebuttal but Ride to Happiness was five years ago?? God I feel old now.
If this coaster has Ride to Happiness level spinning. This ride will be absolutely insane
@chris123678 I should be more precise. It's a three point stance, but it's two large footers and multiple smaller large footers at the track end. And the big footers are off-center, biased to the left, so it seems like the track will go up the right side and curl around at some point going up.
I'm sure there will be many protein spills on this ride. It's the same with Alpengeist and especially when Fire and Ice were at Islands of Adventure. That was the dueling B&M that was quite intense. Every time I would ride it someone would get sick.
Nothing new for GAdv. Last two years, I've seen more voluminous projectile from returning trains on the loading platform of Batman than you'd think there would be.
Oh I'm sure!! Batman is very intense as it was built when the inverted coaster was still a prototype. I know Busch Gardens has zep powder for those moments lol. My church has the same stuff for when someone gets ill there.
Haha don't worry, they'll definitely be able to dial it in; these NoLimits trains have no ability to control the speed, it's definitely a bit overkill in the video
This footer map was the reference I used:
I too agree that it will mainly be a 3 point tower. The third footer (red dot) wasn't in the satellite image but has since been poured IRL, in that general spot. I used some of the additional footers "below" the triangle there to brace the rise into it. Best solution I could come up with in the amount of time I had.

Way back when, added it precisely. Little further over than in the satellite angle. It's a weird stance for the tower. Guess the geometry will be clear to us all when they start assembling a damn thing, soon it seems.
I kinda hope the spinning isn't that crazy. Knowing GAdv I doubt they'd go all out with something like that. They will likely do enough to make the ride really good and that's fine. Best part about rides like these is that they don't need to be spinning out of control to be really good.
(I'm probably being biased since I don't do well on heavy spinning rides lol)

I'm curious to see how big the stall will look. It'll likely be among the longest on earth
There's an additional 2 footers not shown in the satellite image.
In some ways, I think I might find this more intense than KK. The fact that this slows down and leaves you dangling at the top while facing downward, is the sort of thing that gets to me more than the super-fast experience of KK.
Likewise, I found Zumanjaro more intense than KK, not for its drop, but for feeling so exposed so high up.
Either way, though, this is going to be a beautiful addition to the park.

I am somewhat worried this is resembling the 200 foot concept rather than the 400 foot tower.
The inversion doesn’t seem like it’s going to get extremely taller than it is now which to be is a sure sign. Then knowing it was going to coexist with Ka, I can’t see the park operating two 400 foot tower coasters. This week should be very telling
