Big Air Coaster

[s***@aol.com]

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the new Big Air Coaster from SBF that’s on display at IAAPA? I think it looks cool and would love to try the front row car that flips. I’d imagine the line for that at whatever parks get it wound be crazy. They probably should put more of those cars on the trains instead of just one.

Rode it once, in the flipping car. It's a head banger.

Headbanger? That’s disappointing. Head banging against the back of the seat, I’m guessing?

It does turns that are rather unbanked and abrupt...and has over the shoulder restraint.

Ah, I understand how that could cause some head banging. Well hopefully this will help make way for better track designs.

Extremely loud screech when it hits the "spin" kicker. This is going to be awful for small enclosed areas. It's an electrical bus system, not a tire like it sounds. Also, begins to smell like a hot electrical connection after a while.

The rotating car can't be retrofitted into an existing figure 8 spinner (too tall).

The customer can determine how many cars spin vs. rotate on a train.

Sold at least 2 at the show (including the floor model).
