I think I'd probably agree with this 👍

The comparison of heights reminds me a lot of Stealth's construction wall advertising back when that was being built.

Sorry for the double post but in the very next frame we can see a what appears to be a model of a roller coaster under construction. My initial thought was that this was the model now in the Megastore in an unfinished state. However, the track on that just looks to be single strip/tube while...

This appeared in today's Fright Nights teaser. I don't think it gives much away but it's cool nevertheless.

Thanks very much mate, this looks very interesting 👍

Damn, I should of thought of that 🤣

I've been getting into CAD recently and have been making sections of coaster track. I was just wondering if anyone here had the dimensions of different manufacturers track types so I could make my models to the correct scale. Something like the images below that I found on an old ThemeParkReview...

It appears that some new marketing has popped up on the construction walls as well as some window cutouts.

Hmm, it seems as though Thorpe have taken a little too much inspiration from Wickerman and stuck a kink in the lifthill... 🤔

If I've done that maths right, then my count currently stands at: SAW: The Ride - 3 Inversions - 70 Rides Colossus - 10 Inversions - 20 Rides Nemesis Inferno - 4 Inversions - 24 Rides The Swarm - 4 or 5 Inversions? - 22 Rides Mandrill Mayhem - 1 Inversion (upside down twice) - 4 Rides Olympia...

Looking at the dated photos on RCDB, it wasn't there upon opening but was by 2008.

You've got a point though. SAW: The Ride - 2009 - Black Th13teen - 2010 - Black The Swarm - 2012 - Grey The Smiler - 2013 - Black There was definitely a trend back then. But is is nice to see them looking at other colours these days.

You just beat me to it! I did some digging and you're right, that's what the cable is used for. Apparently the cable used to be stored in a bag at the top of the top hat. This bag could be remotely opened allowing the cable to fall down should it need to be used. The thing is, the first time...

It probably would have made sense for a drive tire to be fitted at the top (like Do-Dodonpa's loop or RTH's tophat) that could be activated should the train ever get stuck. Given that it's only happened twice in 17 years probably means that it isn't a huge issue to worry about though.

I think I heard somewhere that not damaging any trees that they didn't have was one of the aims of this retrack. Sidenote: the ride is looking epic!

Personally, I don't see CP being too bothered about this. If they were that worried about people being near trains moving at high speeds then they probably would have moved the ride's queueline. They could still add a wall or a themed tunnel or something to shield the unprotected train as an...

It would arguably be the best element on the ride...

I think the vests just need a little tweaking (ie. so they lock and don't tighten in a way that attempts to shatter your collarbone) and then they could be a pretty good restraint system (especially on the wing coasters). But they need to stay away from dives regardless. Away I say!

You never know, Cedar Point might be feeling extra risky that day... 👀

I managed to finally ride MM for the first time about a week ago (first trip to Chessington too). Ignoring the potential capacity issues and how the area compares to other parks' efforts, I found MM to be a very enjoyable ride. No hint of the roughness or bounciness I've heard others speaking...
