Hey all! I'm new in this forum and I would like to say hi! Well, I'm going to go to Paris tomorrow and to DLRP 3 days later, so my question is:
:?: I read about Rock'n'roller coaster and it says it has 3 inversions, and Indiana Jones has only one, but it's height limitation is higher, so, are these 3 inversions 360 degree ones or not? Thanks for the help already! :D
hi and welcome
i believe it has on 360 degree on at the start and to corkscrew ones later on
Hi!
Rock n Roller Coaster does indeed feature 3 inversions, but only 2 inversion elements - a Roll Over at the start (after the launch) and a Corkscrew later on.
Take a look at this picture, from "Xpress" at Walibi World, which is the same basic ride but built outdoors: http://pictures.rcdb.com/picmax/six-fla ... -ride8.jpg (http://pictures.rcdb.com/picmax/six-flags-holland/superman-the-ride8.jpg)
You can see the ride inverts 3 times but there only two real elements - 2 of the inversions are in 1 element.
As for why the height restriction is different yet RNRC features more inversions - this is more a matter of the design of the roller coaster vehicles and restraints, rather than the number of inversions. Both rides are from different manufacturers.
I hope this helps! :wink: ps: Check your private messages!
