So yeah, it's gotta have a really high heartline right? I mean the trains. I don't imagine there are many trains that could make it off that MCBR from a deadstop without being really top heavy.

Looks like someone made a normal tophat then accidently dragged a few vertexes out whilst supporting..

^ That could be the reason why some decent NL2 coasters would lose some technique points. ;)

is it just the angle of the photo, or is the station actually really small?

Small enough to be an E-Motion or a spinner lol.

Mack creation, to quote coasterforce:
coasterforce wrote:
E-MOTION COASTER

Mack's E-Motion Coaster has a standard rollercoaster track layout, it's the cars that make the difference. The cars have a spring suspension that causes it to rock and shake in multiple directions. The first E-Motion Coaster to open was Tulireki at Linnanm??ki, Finland, in 2004. At the time of writing (Jan 2013), only two E-Motion coasters have been built, the last one was in 2005.


So basically the ride is essentially on a pivot in the center of the car which results in the car essentially "falling over" as you go round bends / down drops then uses suspension to return the ride upright.

I think the station pretty much guarantees a 1/2 long car train, which means to me it'll be an e-motion or wild mouse on steroids (think what maurer achieves with single car trains)

I think E means Experience. :)

It also enhances all the bumps and transitions making it feel extremely rough.

The flat turn before the MCBR just screams spinner but the rest of the layout really doesn't :/
