Anybody speak German?

Here is a link to info about the new Rockit Coaster being built at Universal. The pics look great, but I'd love to know what the text is

Wouldn't you?

I bet Dopey can give you an idea of what's what!

dixie · 11-23-2008

Dopey will know!

This is about the new coaster for Universal (but you knew that already) It is a very long stretched out ride because it winds along existing buildings. It is 1150 linear meters long. Per Universal - a thrill ride without inversions - the result is a 51 meter high vertical lift followed by a 75 degree drop to start of the ride. It is followd by the so called 'non-inverted loop' which differs from the regular vertical loop via a screw in the upper part of the ride. On the highest part of the ride at 42 meters, the ride does not invert, it winds itself around it's axis. there will be several ocassions where the ride vehicles have near collisons with the already existing film sets.
The"trains" with 2 ride vehicles each will travel at a maximum speed of 105 kilometers.
This isn't an alltogether new concept.This ride is much like the Norwegian Loop in Tusenfryd.

Since I don't understand anything about this subject, I hope that you can make sense of the translation. If you need clarification, please let me know

Debi, it doesn't give the exact location, only that it winds itself around existing movie sets. Is it possible that they're going to put it where the set burned down? Of course that only happened resently and the coaster and its location was planned years ago.

ok, I went back to read it again and it seems I forgot a really exciting part of the article.
First, this ride will be able to accommodate 1850 guests per hours. They [Universal] have developed a soundsystem that will be incorporated into the headrest.
An onboard videosystem. At the end of the ride, it will eventually be possible to purchase a ride video.
