Gröna Lund | Monster | B&M Invert | 2021

[Hyde]

Inverts always have some form of twisted drop because it keeps your legs away from being able to kick the row in front. It’s also why you don’t tend to see airtime hills on them, the apex of the hill would always have to be more drawn out because of the nature of how the train bends.

Not that that has anything to do with anything, but still pretty interesting.

*ahem* ?



But point taken on minimizing maneuvers that cause seating to shorten in gap spacing.

In fairness, Crazycoaster did say tend to, so that means they is of course a couple of exceptions!

(Awaits posts showing every other invert having airtime hills because I'm a basic B&Mer)

 

[Crazycoaster]

You get how both of those examples prove exactly what I said though, right? ?

Take a look and you can notice just how shallow that curve is over the apex, then compare it to the shaping of a modern airtime hill. You won’t be seeing ejector air on a invert any time soon (unless we bring in a creative designer and maybe a wave turn could work...)

Hey, an airtime hill is an airtime hill - even if it has the weakest floater on earth.

And how has no-one mentioned the off-axis airtime hill on Pyrenees?

That looks intense

 

[CrashCoaster]

Oh yes mmm that's gorgeous. I really think this could be in the top 5, maybe top 3 coasters for Europe next year.

I find it interesting that Insane's cars are still on the track despite the park being closed all year. Figured they would've been moved to a maintenance building somewhere.

Just saw that Gröna Lund updated the page for the coaster and it now says that the height requrement will be 140 cm / 4ft 7 Inches and that a ride will cost 4 cupouns.

Can't help wonder why the requirement is 1.40 cm... The invert Oziris has a requirement of 1.30 and most other new B&Ms in Europe like Valkyria, Baron and Fenix only 1.32 cm.

That looks intense

Yeah, I guess it's particular intense in the backrow when you are still in the twisted section while the first row is already at the bottom of the drop.

 

[FABH]

The view from the top of Monster will be extraordinary – giving riders a view of some of the historical parts of Stockholm with buildings that are several hundreds of years old.

I'm pretty jaded when it comes to modern day B&M, so I was going to post something about how it'll probably be an impressive feat of engineering, look cool, but be pretty average to ride... and then you post something like that and I start to feel actual excitement. Damn it.

The construction continues at a high pace... more elements are in place!

Great as always

Dont all these examples demonstrate the point that airtime hills on inverts are long and drawn out to avoid crushing legs.....I mean the one on Top Gun is almost more like a speed hill.
A straight drop on an invert would be worse than Sliver Bullet.

 

[CoasterEv]

Looks amazing!

Anyone know what the raised round bits of metal are for on top of the box section of track?.
