RIP to every man that ever rides this attraction.
Same. A launched stand-up sounds dreadful.I don't agree that this is for the surf coaster
Yes, plus they still consider "Stand-Up Coaster" to be one of their models, separate from Surf.Same. A launched stand-up sounds dreadful.
It's still on their website as of nowI didn't know anyone was still making stand-up coasters? Did one once. Rough. And not friendly for anyone 6'0 or taller.
Really? I think of a two person across 8 row launched coaster that has a front shaped like a surf board.Whenever I hear surf coaster my mind goes right to a stand up position, but instead of facing forward you are facing out to the side. Have no idea if that is what they would be going for, but it would provide a unique ride experience.
This is exactly what I think of. New coaster concepts are always hit or miss. Inverted coasters are a smash hit, the stand up was a fade. I feel like the flyer falls under fad as well.Whenever I hear surf coaster my mind goes right to a stand up position, but instead of facing forward you are facing out to the side.

Apart from judgements on how bad this new type stand-up would crush your balls or not why would a major Park in a major tourist Market attempt to build a ride that is going to alienate a lot of their customers and even some of the thrill seeker types. It would seem like a really poor decision. I'm not really sure it's a great idea even if b and m lets them build it at cost.
When you need a hit you get a B&M hyper and they did that with Mako. This would be an unusual decision.
My stomachI know this isn't it but imagine a stand up launched blitz coaster but instead of normal configuration (standing forward facing side by side), you are standing sideways with your back to the other rider? 2 launches, 3 wave turns, 2 overbanks, 1 stall, 2 corkscrews.
