Well I still see it as not groundbreaking or revolutionary. It has been done before in similar ways by the other coaster manufacters. But I agree, It will be interesting to see how this prototype performs.

Pablo, while I understand where you are coming form. I would disagree. The 4th dimension coaster’s have such complex cars that they don’t have very fluid movements.

Intamin proved this already with Furious Baco. Furious Baco had sharp, fast turns that are definitely not currently capable with the 4D cars. B&M will similarly do this but their own unique twists on the ride.

I definitely look forward to X-Raptor and see their approach to the ride.

This new B&M coaster won’t be able to top S&S Power’s 4th Dimension Coaster. This prototype doesn’t spin like the S&S Power Coaster. It’s like the are taking some aspects of the 4-D Coaster design and making it their own style. It is like Intamin’s Wing Rider Launch Coaster. So I look at it as nothing really new or groundbreaking.
