^Which one, the youtube link?

Also, "we" on another forum have decided to call it a C-Roll....

 

[Hixee]

^Naa, C-Roll sounds too much like a shortening of Cobra Roll. I know you could argue it is a shorted/adapted Cobra Roll, but the names shouldn't be that similar.

I'd be interested to know that the park/Gerstlauer call it.

 

[Lofty]

I think we should call it the "Spite Roll", because it's spiting the normal Cobra Roll - Yes, this is not meant to be serious!

It pretty much is a lazy half assed cobra roll, so the name C-Roll is a lazy half assed name :lol: Plus it looks like a C from the side...

Floppy banked top hat?

 

[andrus]

Not that it has great significance, but I do think c-roll is a good name. C-roll looks like an abbreviation for cobra-roll which is suitable since it's pretty much an unfinished cobra roll! Plus, as "Xpress" wrote, it actually looks like the letter C from the side

Banana Roll or Potato Chip Roll

C-Roll sounds to simple and boring.

 

[kimahri]

It's a penis.

Actually it's a really cool. That loop before that is equally as cool

 

[bob_3_]

I vote Banana Roll

 

[Dave]

I thought it looked more like a shoehorn and called it that, haha.

 

[Crazycoaster]

Whats going on with those supports? =/

 

[marc]

Heard about the earthquakes in Japan? Well they have to build with this in mind. Thats whats been said everywhere else anyway.

 

[rollermonkey]

He might be talking about the completely odd paint scheme of the supports.

 

[Mr. X]

Yeah, I think he was talking about the paint scheme, which is absurd.

 

[Uncle Arly]

I like the colour scheme, mixes it up a bit more.

Back when coastersims existed, I did a launched invert with a similar element to this.....Except it was more a Quarter loop, then a half corkscrew positioned straight after the quarter loop. (So if you imagine a half corkscrew rotated into this position, the top of it would be sideways, and then of course the exit of the element was the same in reverse.

I think I called it a wave roll, since it looked like a big wave curling over.

I thought it looked more like a shoehorn and called it that, haha.

I really like this name actually. It's short and punchy...Doesn't have the pointless "Roll" word at the end.
Can we call it this please

Shoehorn is kinda catchy...

But, I know that element has been done plenty of times in the past, so perhaps Gerstlauer got the idea from the NL crowd?

Beat me too it

But yeah.. DAMN that things HUGE.... and what is up with that crazy drop.

Could they go for the inversion record for real this time since their last attempt got screwed. I can at least count 7-8 inversions so far...
