Splinter Secret 22 May 09 - Posted by Mike
You may recall the Splinterfx from the past trade show – the only immersively themed wooden coaster. This ride is made possible only with the unique Splinter vehicles. However, one may wonder what the vehicles look and feel like. The need to wonder is no more.
These trains can maneuver an unheard-of six-foot radius, allowing a custom ride to be fit into a compact space. The result is a hybrid dark-ride and roller coaster experience. Guests will want to ride multiple times to experience the ride facing forward and backwards. The level of intensity of a ride can vary to accommodate families with children 36 inches and taller. This ride demonstrates the endless possibilities of a Splinter style ride – from movies to pirates and more!
The secret: You can probably see that the Splinter car looks eerily related to our new Timberliner train. We actually designed the front car’s chassis to be a multi-use chassis for both the Timberliner and the Splinter car! The front of the chassis has an alternate mounting to enable backwards facing seats. The objective is to standardize on all the car parts for an optimal product.

Hmm Those splinter trains look an awful lot like the Timberliner Trains
Sweet, we get timberliners in LoCoSuMo style too!
