Thanks for the feedback! I think I messed the settings up for this video a bit

Now that is impressive, but I doubt it hahaha. Maybe you've managed to find a glitch...

Yes, the shuttle loops have pretty awful capacity. I think their saving grace is just that the ride is short - can you imagine how bad it would be if it had more of a layout

Hahaha well they couldn't have a coaster with no issues at all could they ;)

@@coaster_shark Batman and Robin the Chiller had worse downtime because it was a dueling version.

Some of them can be really good can't they!

It is definitely a major issue, but easily solvable with a turntable or switch track. I think until now they've mostly appealed to smaller parks because they're cheap and compact, and capacity isn't as much of an issue for them, but we'll have to see if any big parks take one on as a major coaster

@@coaster_shark Anyone remember Mr Freeze?

Good point!

Oooo I hope you enjoy it! It's a cracking ride, but I'm not sure there's much to say about that hasn't already been said

@@coaster_shark fair enough! but i am excited to try it out haha

Oh yeah, it feels like the launch is going on forever!

Thanks! I think the mixing on this video might have been a bit off because the voice-over was quieter (I recorded it a bit late at night) but I always thought it would have been a bit dry with no music

I think that's basically the same thing, but just seen from a different point of view. Hahaha now wouldn't that be nice

That's true, but they still had the same issues as the Vekomas

Dead on - planning a trip to six flags great adventure and already skipping flash as the lines will be bonkers due to throughput

Yes, the capacity is the main issue after they've sorted what I talked about. I think you're right that the switch track or something similar is the way to go, or else it will still just be smaller parks that these rides appeal to, and they won't have the money to make one that's super long and exciting

Yes, much like Switchback at ZDT

In general switch tracks aren't practical for a shuttle coaster with the only exception being the two Mr. Freeze coasters but even then that's more of a switch between the load platform and the actual main track.

That's kind of what I was imagining to be fair

Thanks!

Brutal, but fair. I think with some tweaks it could work, but not how it was done originally

It is a bit loud I agree, a general guide is music at 20dB under VO. So when editing check the common spikes and aim for VO to be about -10 and music about -30, you cna adjust for taste a bit from that point but this sounds more like a 5dB difference which is hard to hear through. This particular song is minimal enough that I heard the VO fine, but with other songs it would be real bad

Thanks for the feedback, I will in the future. I think the issue was that I used my usual audio settings, forgetting that I recorded the video late at night and was speaking a bit quieter than usual.

Exactly! You can't write one of these off just because it's an SLC if it's had those changes

Haven't been on one myself, but it looks quite violent from the videos!

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed!

Hahaha that whole thing looks insane! There is a limit, though - I'm quite happy not needing to visit a chiropractor after going to a theme park ;)

I know looks incredible. I actually love insane positives over airtime, would have loved the chance to go on moonsault. One day if I ever have crazy amounts of money to fritter away, I’d love to try a fighter pilot centrifuge wheel. Sign a waiver and then go for it. I mean I’d like to see what 9G would feel like, but maybe if they pushed me there for like a second or so and then back again 😆

Oh yeah, it was always my dream to try one of those as a kid! I think you could handle a lot more Gs in there though because is sustained and smooth. Part of the issue with high Gs on coasters is that it can be jolty or sudden, and that's what hurts

Alton’s shuttle coaster doesn’t exist anymore, that shuttle loop got taken out years ago.

@@Goliath146 Fun fact about Alton Towers' shuttle loop: It was quite a noisy attraction as the cows would actually end up calving at the wrong time of year.

@@Goliath146 i know, RIP that one and Corkscrew

@@toainsully not to mention it also went above the tree line.

@@Goliath146 The tree line is a huge requirement when making new rides at Alton Towers. That's why they are built within the ground

Thanks for the feedback - I'll turn it down in future. My laptop speakers always seem to do weird things to sound balances

I feel like I need to up my game with the shark related puns to be honest

@@coaster_shark need to give more reason to sub to your only sharks

Well, I've got no-fin to lose from giving it a try

Exactly! You’re nearly at 1,000 subscribers due to the jaws-dropping content 😁

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed!

Oh yeah, I think that's probably the case with a lot of stoppages on rides, but its a bit more of a wordy title ;)

I hope you have a great time!

Interesting combo, but OK

NO!!!!

@@brockpiano this guy knows 😂

*insert jaws theme here

@@coaster_shark dundundundundundundundundundundundundundun doodoodoooooo

Hahaha the whole project does seem like a bit of a fever dream doesn't it! Although you could say that about most of the megaprojects that go on over there...

@@coaster_shark honestly though. Billion dollar palm tree shaped islands that are doomed to sink in a few decades? What in the world.

I wish I had the confidence to think every weird thing I imagined was a brilliant idea... and also enough money to burn to give it a try, but we all know that's not realistic

@coaster_shark so I looked it up and it actually doesn't get that cold at night. I thought climates like that fluctuate in temp a lot more. Dude, imagine how fast Phoenix rising coaster goes at the end of a 110⁰F/43⁰C day. No matter what, this park is going to be off the walls nutty

Oh yeah that thing is going to be flying! I wonder how many trim brakes it will need to keep it on the rails...

Now that's an interesting take! Intamin do have a tough balance to find, considering no one has any experience of how to design a coaster that fast

It's definitely an interesting ride!

Fair enough. I don't think I will be either, to be honest. Saudi Arabia isn't particularly high up on my list of countries to visit

​@@coaster_shark I don't think it's much worse than UAE if you follow their customs and laws. Surely it's worth putting up with to ride this monster.

I dont mind the strict laws so much. It's their culture, so you just respect it and dont do anything stupid. It's more their dubious human rights record that puts me off, and I just prefer green places to deserts

@@hunterbidenslaptop5749 the foundations of this rollercoaster are the corpses of the modern slaves that died to build it. They’re building these ridiculous machines that serve no purpose to the common man there, who starve in the streets, these things are just to cover up and makes us forget about the atrocities they commit. This has nothing to do with culture.

Well said

Yeah that pretty much sums it up ;)
