Mid-course beer run: A stroke of genius.

I had a roller coaster concept when I was little that might work. Its a rollercoaster than can go from floorless to inverted. Essentially, switching between over and under the rails.
It works by a special track on the side of the rollercoaster car that the wheels can move up and down on.

well, i guess it would incorperate the best of both types of rollercoasters....Tight helixes and loops for the inverted and lots of airtime and drops for the over the track.
Also, it would be cool if the switchover could be done indoors in pitch black, so the riders dont know what has happened until they enter into daylight.

I've thought about that too. But my idea was to have a device kind of like the space rings in RCT, but instead it only rotates in one plane, so when it was desired, the train would go through a barrel roll, and it would switch from floorless to inverted (or vice versa) by sliding just like the space rings. There would also be a locking system keeping it from switching when it wasn't wanted, like if the floorless portion of the ride was to have a barrel roll, but not have it switch from flooress to inverted. In my mind it would work similar to the 4D coasters where there is a second set of wheels that causes the seats to rotate, that way it wouldn't rotate when it wasn't supposed to.
I also like the idea of the MCBR. But how about this, you have a Pre-lift (or launch, whatever it may be) Beer Run, and a MC(T)BR. Mid Course Taco Bell Run. Or you're drunken fast food joint of choice, Taco Bell just fits the acronym better.

After riding Krake at Heide Park last weekend I got the idea of making a full circuit B&M dive machine. The new 6 abreast trains seemed really agile and the fact that they're smaller then the new wing rider trains that are capable of zero-g rolls, corkscrews etc made me think of a full circuit looper but with a dive machine start! Imagine hanging from the edge, then a kick ass vertical drop into a full circuit looper, sounds sweet to me! I hope some park pics up on this idea since it's certainly is feasible and wouldn't be too expensive

^You know what I mean :wink: with more than a single immelman inversion..
The new slimmer train is capable of more advanced inversions at the same time as it doesn't require the big expensive track that Griffon/Sheikra/Oblivion has. A junior dive machine could perform a vertical drop then ~7 varied inversions without problem just like the regular B&M loopers

I really like the idea of either being able to sit above the track or along the side, and sitting in the front row of a diving machine looks so sick, so with a larger front row, the more you are able to ride it in the front.
