Have you tried lining up some of B&Ms other turnarounds? Such as those on Nitro, Fury and even Orion?
good thinking, Tell me which B&Ms have at least a 140 degree turnaround immediately after the drop, and I'll have a play around...
Diamondback is 365m to it's turnaround... We don't have that much length to play with.
Fury is 340M to the turn, but is the perfect type of turnaround!!! and take off some of Fury's height, I think it could be done in that space! Bingo, it's exactly the kind of very high and tight turn a Thorpe hyper would need!!!
Nitro's first turn isn't nearly tight enough...
Not necessarily, but then again, there’s been no evidence indicating anything else either, so I guess we are just spitballing here. If the 3 B&M rumour is true, then I’d say it seems logical, but I’m just suggesting what I feel they might go for and what would work.
For what it’s worth, the park said at an enthusiast event post-DBGT that they felt that their next major needed to be reliable, marketable and high capacity. I’d say that a B&M Hyper ticks all of those boxes, personally.
Actually that's not true...
There have been lots of pointers towards 'flying'
And there have been teasers for RMC... It was NOT a member of the GP who painted that door in Trailers...
Edited to add: Also, another thing that has always bugged me… That tree!!! It’s commonly said that it was a member of public who vandalised it… But although visible from the queue, the tree is not within reach of the queue… And it’s a ‘fairly detailed’ carving for a bit of graffiti… Somebody would have had to jump the fence, and spend a considerable amount of time carving that… Presumably whilst queueing… And yet nobody said anything or stopped him / her?
