So I guess that LSM/SLM’s are much like trying to put two magnets together the wrong way in that they slip away from each other. At least that makes sense to this dummy. O:
Makes sense. I wonder why they would be doing that since so many believe no "real" testing will happen til next spring.:whoo:
I guess each system has their advantages then, but apparently Theme Parks go for the ones that are more efficient. Makes sense, but I guess they would have more of a chance for breakdown then. I assume the SLM's are more expensive also. Is the launch of the Hulk SLM?
Not sure how true it is, but according to this post, each Intamin LSM fin costs $8000.I guess each system has their advantages then, but apparently Theme Parks go for the ones that are more efficient.

If the $8000 per fin price tag is true, that would put us at around $800,000 just for those, plus $11.1 million for rockwork. It definitely seems like they're going all out for this.That's a lot of cash for so many launches in this coaster.
Has anybody heard a budget for this?
That video on Hulk was awesome! I just always assumed those fins on the coaster were to act/react to the magnets. Never paid any attention to the tires. Thanks Scott!! Okay, I'll get off Hulk now. But yeah $8000 per fin for HP coaster adds up real quick. This coaster will be great, but like Teebin, Taron over in Phantasialand Germany looks like the one to beat, if you like more speed and thrills. But I think the HP coaster will be just the right mix of speed, fun and astonishment.

I haven’t but they are saving a kajillion $$$ not having to build a queue structure or sound barrier.
20M is nothing in this context, if it ran to 30 with theming it would not be excessive. Once it runs they will bank much more than than that.Not sure how true it is, but according to this post, each Intamin LSM fin costs $8000.

Time for some rockwork baby!
Time for some rockwork baby!
Is rock work a generic theming term Nassal uses for theming elements or is this literally $8 million for actual "rock" theming. Where is there that much rock work in this landscape? By the boat dock?
Edit: ahhh I forgot about the cave show scene :doh:
Dave has a secret spot. He doesn't need to stroll around the property.shweeeeet! @NJBrandon any chance you have the permit for Volcano bay's rockwork? I'd be interested in comparing the two
how long until @Disneyhead takes a stroll past Nassal's yard????
Yea, I think some will be along the first few scenes and/or near the queue building entrance... But I bet the bulk of it will be for a giant cave that will kind of frame the entire back of the ride area, creating a towering backdrop as seen from Hogsmeade and the ride entrance paths.I believe @Alicia mentioned there would be a bunch of rockwork on the load/unload building and queue leading up to it as well
