I know I heard of a second rumored MACK coaster for Central Florida, could this be the coaster for Universal? (Since Space Fantasy was MACK.)

We might want to put a halt on previously held beliefs regarding this. I believe it is only safe to say that there is a project 611 and that it is coaster related. That is all that appears to be true at this time and everything else is a bit muddled.

Ah ok. So the 2016 thing might no longer be accurate? What is 611 again, kidzone?

That is now unclear and possibly incorrect.

Talking about the seaworld coaster, Screamscape suggested a video of a coaster called Helix. Have to say, when I saw the video I thought it actually would be nice themed to F&F.
Does a spinning launched coaster exist yet?

That's a cool layout!!! A coaster of that size would eat up A LOT of space at UOR though. Not sure they'd want to spend that much real estate on a single coaster, but what do I know?

Technically, there's no launched spinning coasters out there at this time (at least that I'm aware of, and I've followed new coasters worldwide each year for nearly 15 years). With that being said, back in 2009, Intamin built a single spinning coaster at Bakken in Denmark called "Tornado" that has a conventional chain-lift hill and a tiny little LIM at the top to give you just a tiny "kick" off the top of the hill. I've also heard it rated as one of (if not THE) best spinner(s) ever built. Looks like a cool little ride, I wish more US parks would be build them! http://rcdb.com/4313.htm#

Kennywood put in a launch coaster a couple of years ago that has a really small footprint, but it's a great coaster. It would be perfect for Universal since it doesn't waste much space.

611 is not what we thought, though the project we thought was 611 is still a thing of which we have no project number now.

If you look at how much Universal Orlando has grown in the past 15 years, can you imagine what it will look like in 2030!? It's exciting stuff and even though I'm not completely on top of all these developments, it still sounds like Universal has this insane expansion plan that is only in it's early stages. Kong, Volcanoes, Space Fantasies, Fury and Fastness! :happy:

Mercy, what sureness. I know that Hulk is being completely rebuilt, from the track rails to the RSS and more. 611 has become a bore. It is as if UC assigned one project number to two different projects... and I cannot work with that.

Ride/Show System. The computer that controls the safety and operation of the attraction.

While Kuribo is correct in what it basically means, the industry term that I have heard repeatedly is "Ride System Supervisor".

The other thing that some may find interesting is that in some circumstances, the RSS doesn't just supervise the ride, but the entire building and queue, electric, lighting... even the fire systems. It is the entire attractions God of everything.

One of the companies that specializes in these systems is The Goddard Group in Los Angeles, and who I believe has done such work for both Disney and Uni.

Why would they have to replace the rails? Only disney does that to their steel coasters...most parks, if it gets to that, just replaces the entire ride completely...

There's a LOT going into this redo. My guess is rail replacement has to do with new trains or something similar.

What is rail replacement? Do you mean tracks?
So we might get new trains as well?

I know Teebin had mentioned infrastructure changes before but I thought it was just all the stuff behind the scenes. So when would this happen and how long would it take?

Much more than behind the scenes stuff, if what I'm hearing is solid. Hoping it is.
