The queso!

Pull throughs are generally reserved for rides that have a lot of theming added by a separate company. Hyperia doesn’t have any theming at all (or trees), so there’s only the manufacturers own designs at play here when it comes to reach tests, which can be adequately done on CAD. It’s quite easy...

I will never understand why anyone okayed the location of Tower of Terror, and sadly it’ll always be the thing that hinders any development of the park by being slap bang at the start of the park in such a central location. The original floridian one was designed as a weinie at the end of a...

Can I just remind everyone that is commenting on certain elements being taken at certain speeds.. chill out my dudes. You’ve seen one test run. Maybe hold off until it’s regularly testing to judge an elements speed.

Beijing doesn’t have uniquely chinese themed areas, I’m not sure why this would have British ones. The most interesting point is when they said they want to keep this unique from it’s florida counterpart. I can see this meaning we won’t get a Hulk, or a Velocicoaster or a Hagrid's coaster. I...

Are there any examples of Merlin making a really good queue for a major attraction? I think the last time Thorpe put proper thought and effort into their landscaping was in 2003 when they put all that coloured bark around NI to look like lava and planted all those orange flowers in it.

Looks like Walt Disney Studios is going to be renamed Disney Adventure World. Thoughts?

Unfortunately that has always been the case with Merlin. They do not know how to “finish” landscaping. It was the same with The Swarm, all the land around was just left full of rubble and weeds. Chessington didn’t do much better with the area under their Wing Coaster.

I honestly think Samurai was the best before they built Saw. It backed up onto the lake, had those trees behind too. Outer row 3 and it would feel like you were about to be flung into the lake. Saw spoiled the sightlines you’d briefly get.

I do love bringing this up, but I think it put the speculation to bed because of some of the new theming elements include; Can we all finally agree that the track is the tentacles and the supports are the “cage”??

I’m going to count it as two extra creds just for fun. 🌝

It wasn’t a gun, it was a drill. Fitted perfectly in with the story that AT were digging when they discovered the creature. That was the drill that first came in contact with Nemesis, hence it being covered in tentacles.

Don’t forget that you’re watching a fan made animation, might wanna reserve that judgement until an actual POV.

I doubt they’d load the entire train onto the track in one go. The pictures will be of the lead cars that are connected, the other rows will be trailered like any other coaster without a zero car.

I think my issue is that I don’t really think that LOTR really translates well to a theme park? When I think of LOTR I think of vast open spaces, the mountain regions of New Zealand, and vastly big constructions (Helms Deep.. the Towers.. Rivendell etc). None of these locations could ever...
