Something like this would be nice at Thorpe:-
Question from the non-nerd: these computer generated mock ups, are they based on any kind of real physics? Cos that^ thing just doesn't look like it would have enough momentum to complete the layout.
Otherwise looks ok. Can't see how Thorpe would sell that though. No USP, see.
I'm still saying wood. More than likely GCI, but wouldn't put money on that bit. Out and back layout, along the old railway line towards the farm. 'UK's longest, tallest, fastest wooden roller coaster'. It's a done deal, man, I'm telling you. Wouldn't even need a gimmick or a theme - the stats alone would sell that.
If Thorpe Park don't build exactly that, then they are literally nuts.
