New coasters (wtp + profile)

[dude...]

$560 AUD for the profile z coaster. Can't see it being that popular in Australia.

Doubt it will fly off shelves. Most of the guys into Profile stuff are park riders, not the street/tech guys. The price is high but when you look at the exchange rate for credit cards and add shipping it is still cheaper than the States.

But guyz it's also an elite hub

Thinking about getting it when/if it is released in LHD.

I heard that Merrit are releasing a non-clone coaster, but IIRC there only changing the bearings around...

I feel like every time something like this gets mentioned it never leaves the prototype or drawing board stage.

I don't know, it seems to be a prototype, it says that it might have a new system entirely, but I doubt it somehow...

[dude...]

the merged speculated that it might be a new internal design due to the shell shape which means nothing cos the merged is just an industry brown nose blog. maybe you can try one when the tories give you your 3 grand

but I doubt it somehow...

yes, I know it means nothing; that's why I wrote that at the end

I think the shell looks to small for a KHE style coaster.

Hopefully it's not the éclat bullshit since Brennan has WTP ties.

[JFax]

Looks like a KHE-esque coaster that might have some new internals, as in new design of clutch and driver to make it slimmer.

I doubt that Merrit has the economical incentive or drive to be innovative with coasters.

Éclat bullshit? My Blind is working better than any other coaster I've ridden (KHE and Ezra).

I am happy for you, I really am. We arent selling them any more due to how problematic they are.

Even after they fixed them?
My local said they were shit, then they started riding them themselves when Eclat came out saying they messed up production and sent out updatet internals.
