Tilt Coaster

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

I'm surprised no other park has picked up on this concept. Gravity Max in China (Vekoma) is the only one of it's kind in the world. Granted the first drop with the tilt seems insane, but after that the layout is kinda lame. However, if Intamin or B&M picked up this concept, or even if another park asked for a Vekoma version, I think it would have great potential as a great coaster, especially if the coaster itself has a good layout and some forces after the drop. Possibly even floorless trains?

Anyone else besides me like to see one built in the states via Vekoma, B&M, Intamin, Mack, Zierer, etc.? Or am i the only one with this odd thought?

I think it looks cool, but it's a bit gimmicky in my opinion. I'd want them to focus on improving everything that comes after the first drop.

Looks like a lot of unnecessary moving parts to me. Probably why they haven't caught on here.
