Infinity Falls - 2018 Raft Ride

[anihilnation]

At least it is not some groundbreaking new system, so hopefully it is something that can be fixed easily.

I’m getting Falcon’s Fury flashbacks. That’s not good.

Please explain. (I wasn’t on these forums until somewhat recently so I missed FF spec.)

Doesnt the JP ride in Singapore have a vertical lift?

Falcon's Fury was 3 months delayed because it was a prototype ride system.

Ah thanks. That’s too bad, although FF is neck and neck with ToT for my favorite drop tower, so it was worth the wait I’d say.

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

Yeah in my opinion its definitely worth the headache just because of the kind of ride it is. Tallest free standing tower in the world with a 90 degree tilt. Doesn't get much better than that!

On the case of Infinity Falls, yeah it's going to have teething issues but honestly there's still a bunch of landscaping left to do and I'm sure they're still a month out from grand opening.

Phantasialand has a rapids with vertical lift as well, though it is not made by Intamin.

I know when I talked to my friend who works in SeaWorld Ops he said the lift was designed to use power to raise the boats, but gravity to return to the bottom. I thought that sounded odd and I wonder if that's part of the problem they're having?

Midway Mayhem showed that there is a counter weight however, he observed that both the weight and the lift platform were in the bottom position. That suggests to me that on of the two had been disconnected from the cables.

The late Pilgrims Plunge at Holiday World. Of course, it was only open for five years.

Vikings River Splash at Legoland Billund Resort uses a similar ride system as Infinity Falls and it seems to work just fine.

Yes, that one. That’s the one I was trying to think of earlier that’s the similar-est. Thank you.

Yes, theres on in Europe that takes place in a castle (I think it actually has dual lifts(

Also has a conveyor loading station and a drop like Infinity Falls.

Yeah. I thought it would be scary but it's actually kinda awkward.

Yeah that's the attraction I'm reminded of the most with this.
