I’m just going to mention that this is the first coaster I can think of to (practically) implement WINDSHIELDS on each of its cars. This Qiddiya project is crazy…
If the tallest point is in the middle of the ride, what happens if there is a roll back? They must be really confident to be able to make that height every single time
Same thing that Intamin's Xcellerators do, probably - deploy retractable brakes on launch, stop the train, and go for another attempt. Also, chances are the launch is going to be overbuilt so that the train can get over the hill even when launched from a standstill.
The long flat downhill section of the drop has LSMs that get it to top speed, then if it rolls back it launches backwards sorta like pantheon and the cliff drop would act as a spike.
@@Jacob-Simonsen I know. The thing has to cost hundreds of millions of dollars. It’s honestly a joke at this point that the government in Saudi has that kind of money. They just basically told intimin to go crazy and do whatever
this is crazy!!! its really happening... it looks so fun. wild how similar it is to the concept art. that drop seems strange how it goes from steep to gentle slope for a while then flat. very RCT esk
In RCT, I would have kept the steep incline straight into the mountainside down to ground level 1, about four blocks of a straightaway before a general slope to a steep incline back up 🤣😂
My thoughts exactly, plus if this is even built its going to be hard to literally visit the park without your human rights being violated man or woman 💀
Is this going to be reliable? The new Intamin parachute tower at Toverland is now SBNO for 6 weeks, and has so many technical problems from the get go.
@@jayminyoel7911 Loads. We have many Intamin rides here in The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. 👌. Kondaa is a technical nightmare and is also down a lot. So my faith in Intamin is not super high. And Taron has some issues in Phantasialand as well with downtime.
@@DJWezzyK Taiga at Linnanmäki is extremely reliable and it's older than Kondaa by a couple years, so Intamin sometimes gets reliability right it seems.
Taking this with a grain of salt. Looks expensive, expansive and extra imaginative. Seems like a fun concept. I'll be satisfied when I see that launch up the mountain taking shape.
Looks amazing! I also was a little unsure initially if it should be considered a powered coaster, as in the original rendering it seemed like it had an LSM boost on the drop, but it seems like the launch is just to get it up to that height. The drop is purely gravity. I doubt it will have a ton of mechanical issues either. Despite its massive scale, the technology it uses is pretty standard and proven. This will also be the first coaster in probably decades that will be tallest, fastest, AND longest on the same ride!
The long straight section of the drop will have LSMs to get it to top speed, and to be able to re launch if it rolls back. In that case the cliff drop would act as a spike.
considering this will be in Saudi Arabia, very few Stateside will Experience when or if it will be completed and chances are, you have to give your first Born Boy Child to the Crown Prince to ride it.
@@sebastiannolte1201Yeah, but Formula Rossa slows you down a lot right after the launch. You'll be going 150 or so for like 30 seconds straight on this one.
@maxhagenauer24 I think it's also the sand, the goggles won't stop your face from getting sandblasted at almost 150+ mph. Would be painful to say the least.
Stupid question: could not the track break away from the rock of the cliff or mountain they are building on for the amount of vibrations running through it eventually corroding? I think corroding is the word to use there. I’m sure they will do checks but what will you about nature being nature. Do you think this will last long until they will have to redesign?
im curious if the 2nd half will be trimmed. after the ungaboenga airtime hill, the rest of the layout seems smaller compared to the size of what went before.
@@Sokobansolver That, and I would not be surprised if there was an LSM boost thrown in there to help get the trains up to the planned 155 mph top speed.
I cant belive that they are actually building this thing. Its so sureal. I mean it looks like something strait outa RCT or Planet Coaster. I dont belive it until i see it.
This thing is insane. Let's hope those desert cliffs don't erode away over time (at least not in the not-too-distant future) because that would not be good for the long-term stability of this ride.
I think it will be a top 20 in the world no matter what, pacing is important, but it's pacing doesn't look bad, and we're still looking at a Monster of a ride
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this ride based on this video. Do you actually think it will be a fun coaster that you’ll want to re-ride, or is it purely exciting because of the records it’s breaking, and won’t actually be a good coaster.
The Coaster is interesting mainly because of the figures and how 'exotic or different' Will be the place, but layout does nota kill me at all...what I don't get IS how they manage to open an outdoor park in a place with such high temperatures from end of April to mid of October...

Considering Intamin’s history and how gigantic this ride is, I give it 2 days of operation
Less,
Hour after opening. Take it or leave it.
This vs Twist Coaster Robin
Exactly. It's one thing to build it and a completely different thing to keep it running.
Especially with that incline launch. We already saw how that went on Lightning Rod. Incline launches are nothing but maintenance nightmares.

That being said, it still won't work
Nah the manufacturers really gave some 12 year old Planet Coaster and said “We’ll build whatever you make”
LMAO
i think that’s more or less true except the 12 year olds were 50 year old oil barons
This is legit what 12yo me would've built in Planco
sugarcube5 in 5 or more years it may be between 5 and 10 years
As a 13yo this is exactly something I would build
it’s interesting how close the layout in the original rendering was
This is at least 1000% more realistic than the initial reveal. Throwing in the F1 cars in there makes it too funny, though.
Yeah at least it doesn't have the launched drop
@@njdotsonThat's still planned, since the highest point is also higher than the cliff it has to be included (or on the way up, but that's not the case).
@njdotson you need a launch to go faster than terminal velocity
Could you imagine inspecting this thing? Each day... 13K feet of track.
Yeah nuts, impractical and not good for longevity
It will be in the middle of nowhere so the only people that will see it every day are the workers.
Eh if we’re talking about six flags, I’ll say inspections every year or two? Maybe 3?
They’ll use slave workers as is common in Saudi Arabia
use a drone?
I remember this being a concept that we all just blew off 😅 But it seems like that Saudi Cash might be legit
A vanity project that will lose money every day.

Now that's a rollercoaster! It's really interesting and fascinating that this place exists. It's crazy that it's actually going ahead.
Bro Intamin came up to a 6 year and told them,”whatever you draw for a rollercoaster will come true.” Absolutely insane
It was more like Saudi giving them a blank check and saying build whatever the hell you want

When youre super big and super long, but dont know what to do with it.

Apart from the coaster itself, this is by far one of the best soundtracks for a coaster I've ever heard.
The music is so good!
Was just thinking that too!
I don’t know if it’s been announced, but in those sweeping shots, it looks like an RMC is located next to it.
it's a gci, the trains for it were revealed!
I so badly wish this was built somewhere else. Though nobody else is probably that careless with their money to build something like this.
The park will have enough rich local tourists, they’ll be fine.
The hyper coaster, giga coaster, strata coaster, now the EXA coaster. Could not have thought of a better name.
Isn't "EXA" just the name of the coaster though and not the milestone of roller coaster height?

It's because the gentle downwards slope part is an LSM launch.
In RCT, I would have kept the steep incline straight into the mountainside down to ground level 1, about four blocks of a straightaway before a general slope to a steep incline back up 🤣😂
Has to be since it'll be another launch section.
Anyone remember the Orlando Skyplex & Skyscraper coaster?
That had little funding and was disapproved
This music will be better than the actual ride
This is going to be a disaster. The Defunctland video on this ride will be legendary
At least us Arabs will have a functioning 500 ft airtime hill in those 2 days
Imagine the heat on the wheels with their temps there
This plus the neverending grit of the sand on the track/ wheels
Maintenance is going to be a nightmare. There’s so much track to inspect too and probably a crap tone of trims and breaks plus the block zones.
LSMs are confirmed to have some sort of water cooling, if it's a spray system that takes care of the sand as well.
It's going to have extra large running wheels and custom rims so they don't overheat.
That’s why the wheels are so large. Look up the Iaapa car reveal
i remember thinking this was weird when the first rendering came out and that still hasn’t changed 😭

Gravity can only get it up to terminal velocity due to wind resistance which is 120, you need a launch go get it up to 160
