gerstlaueringvar Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Most B&M's after 03 are kind of "family coasterish" but here, B&M officially started to build family coasters! It will be an inverted coaster, length will be under 1000m (3258ft) Photos from RCD. Edited July 7, 2014 by gerstlaueringvar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggernel Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 That's like buying a Rolls Royce golf cart... I wonder how much more than a Vekoma it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geauga Dog Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 At least it's not a knock-off (unless it is disguised as a B&M). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_koppen Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The track in the first photo is so cute. For some reason it just looks wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be an inverted coaster, length will be under 1000m (3258ft) Is it definitely going to be a family coaster? That length seems as long if not longer than a lot of full size B&M inverts. And has there been a B&M ever before with a low height restriction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon8899 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I liked Vekoma's Kvasten a lot but consider them more to be observation rides. Maybe Vekoma was too succesful in selling those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Are we sure that this isn't a Chinese knockoff? The track looks a bit off to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 That's like buying a Rolls Royce golf cart... That's what I thought. I have to admit I'm slightly disappointed that B&M has also gone the family coaster way, given that they were one of the few manufactures that only built big adult rides.

cfc Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 ^I have no problem with B&M building a "family" coaster. Why cede all that territory to the competition? Variety is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 ^You're probably right. It's just that I liked the fact that they sicked to "more extreme" coasters (well, at least once they did ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Are we sure that this isn't a Chinese knockoff? The track looks a bit off to me. It is much smaller than the regular track, that's why it looks odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike541x Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 And has there been a B&M ever before with a low height restriction? Nemesis, Oblivion and Air? I remember someone mentioning Alton Tower has a height restriction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Farmer Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 New B&M FAMILY coaster One of the better thread titles in recent memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It is much smaller than the regular track, that's why it looks odd. But it looks like it was manufactured in a different manner from their normal stuff which seems like something they wouldn't do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to RCDB that's 400m, so this ride would be 2.5x bigger than that, I mean the closest B&M invert to 3258ft I could find on RCDB (at a glance)to this kind of length was Silver Bullet.
