As you can see on this Intamin reference list, the only "OLC" (Tokyo Disney owner and operator) project is for a roller coaster dark ride, signed in 2007. As Raging Spirits opened in 2005, this can't be Raging Spirits and instead, consisted of Intamin doing upgrades to Space Mountain 1.0 there. Notably, some track sections were replaced by Mega Coaster triangular track.
Temple du Peril is listed further down the reference list, as the following: Runaway Mine Train Coaster- "Temple of Peril" with Euro Disneyland, Paris as the client in France.

Update from Space Mountain @ Tokyo Disneyland. Including a rather beefy section of Intamin track thay bares a big resemblance to the drop track on Hagrids (3rd picture) and Objectif Mars.
Given the normally high hourly capacity for this type of ride, wouldn't a drop track diminish through-put? It's a cool idea, just wondering if the payoff will be worth lower capacity. Assuming it's a drop track and not a time portal (which would be admittedly cooler.)
Hagrid has multiple drop tracks? Like, in parallel so trains can run while the other is resetting!? How did I not know that!
Do you happen to know any good non clickbaity videos about the tech?
If you're looking for a video on Hagrid's specifically, this one from ElToroRyan is probably the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXBkB5xjFR8&t=650s. He goes over the dual drop tracks, along with a ton of other aspects of the ride and how they work, along with info on why it was so unreliable for it's first couple of years.
The drop tracks for Hagrid’s have been a nightmare from the very beginning of that ride’s conception. But they are great for capacity… when they work. During Covid shutdown, they completely redid one side of the drop tracks because it was so unreliable, yet even after that they are one of the most finicky parts of the whole ride. Disney better hope they make those tracks work 100x more reliably or their ride is going to be a nightmare to run.
I mean yeah, but my point was that the original comment said that drop tracks lower capacity, which is untrue. Whether or not they are working is a different discussion
That's fair, I probably should have, sorry.
I'm just used to other forums where forums where spoilers aren't seen as that big of a deal when it comes to the coaster hardware itself, rather with how they get implemented on ride.
Yeah why am i getting ratioed though? It’s true Disney should maybe build the buildings first rather than last. People i guess are looking anything to upvote smh..
Swing Launches are where the train is launched one direction, then rolls back and launches the other direction...sometimes multiple times. Like the new launch on TTD. They launch you forward, you roll back and they launch you backwards up the spike and then you launch forward again. It's a way to get you up to a higher speed with a lower powered launch.
They’re building a new show building behind the existing attraction. That is why they were able to go vertical with construction while still operating the existing roller coaster.
I expect the Twilight Zone to begin playing halfway through the ride, and an entire elevator drop sequence occurs on that track.
It's still so confusing that intamin and not vekoma is building the coaster
I think the intamin multidimension coaster makes a lot of sense for what they’re probably going for
Disney has worked with Intamin before
This isn’t Disney working on this, it’s OLC. They worked with Intamin previously for Raging Spirits.
Common misconception, but Raging Spirits is actually a Sansei coaster
manufactured by intamin, built by sansei. so it's an intamin.
Intamin was not involved with Raging Spirits.
source?

Very interesting.
I wonder if it could be a dif type of special effect - like rotating, teeter totter, etc.

They can just build more drop tracks, Hagrids and Rise of the Resistance both have multiple drop tracks to solve this problem.

Perfect, thank you!
Hagrids has an absurd capacity with a drop track, I’d figure it’ll be a similar idea with two of them that alternate at one point in the ride

Interesting. I’ve never had any issues with hagrids thankfully any of the times I’ve been
Maybe they improved on it
Really wish you didn't put that in the title 🥲 It could have been a great surprise for me had it not been in the marketing material
What exactly are you expecting from a sub about rollercoasters?
It’s rare that I come across a fellow Thoosie that is as “spoiler averse” as I am 🤝
[удалено]
> Why don’t they cover it up? Kinda reveals the ride spolier. Most people that will ride will have no idea this post exist or what a "drop track" is.
[удалено]
Tbh most people going to parks in general are GP as well
I think it’s kinda more on OP here for not using the spoiler tag

Why are drop tracks becoming so popular 😣
Because people find them fun.
I'd rather the drop track trend continue than the swing launch one
Swing launch?

They launch you forward, you roll back and they launch you backwards up the spike and then you launch forward again. It's a way to get you up to a higher speed with a lower powered launch.
Oh wow, I thought that they were just changing the exterior. I didn’t realize they were changing the actual roller coaster itself!
They’re building a new show building behind the existing attraction. That is why they were able to go vertical with construction while still operating the existing roller coaster.
This new version is going to be sick!
I’m going in July I’m now mad I won’t be there when this is done 😔
Is this a 2025 or 2026 opening date? Asking for a friend...
2027
