Re: Fabbri Spinner for Gardaland in 2016 Not a great choice I must admit. I've been on the one in Great Yarmouth pleasure beach. The split lift hill was the best bit I thought. **** ride. Merlin really need to get their act together....

Re: Wildlife World | unknown | Chance Rides family coaster? Oh my god those supports scream RCT3. Not a bad ride for a small park aiming at families.

Re: WC16 | Thorpe Park | New ??? for 2016 If you look at any dark ride, any non public facing (backstage) buildings are clad in this way. It's a cheep way of building. Unfortunately with Thorpe, they are building this ride in the middle of the park. Even with the public facing part of the...

This ride is looking beyond belief, the more I see the construction images the more I get amazed. Looking at those other footers makes me think that the rumoured family coaster may be included in this, but I would hate to be the people trying to get the track in place for it. With Tarons track...

What I was thinking more of was if Merlin have gone for a bulk buy as a ride system, but after seeing on Screamscape Legoland Cali are building a similar area. That would be Merlin getting there bulk buy. Looking at the above image does somehow remind me of Mindcraft for some reason. It just...

It also sounds like it could be the same kind of ride Thorpe Park are getting, going by the amount of times merlin get bulk buys from manufacturers.

Haven't rmc joined up with vekoma for European coasters? Surely that will increase the amount of coasters they can build each year?

Re: Plopsaland de Panne & Holiday Park rumoured to get a GCI I think this is a great choice, White Lightning is a brilliant woodie. Very quick with airtime a plenty. This will fit with the scale of the rest of Plopsaland, anything bigger and I think it would over power the park. Should create...

The theming on this is second to none, efteling have surpassed them selves here. I love the elongated layout of this coaster as it look as it will give more of ride than the other dive machines of this size. I've only been on oblivion and shi kra, but this looks to use the best of both rides...

When I last went in 2012, it was walk on with just the back rows filled. It's still better to have a ride operational than just standing there. It gives guests a choice then.

Do you think they may have thought that it might look like a absolute mess just standing there with moss and ivy growing over it. Can you imagine how many people would ask if it was going to open if it was just standing there. Or if it was to be removed that the pit would be an eye sore. It...

Re: Thorpe Park construction? I can see what you are saying Darren but you saying that your 27 and want thrills at a park is a personal choise, I'm 33 and love thrill rides but I still like the escape from the real world a theme park gives me. Lesser thrills included something thorpe has lost...

Re: Thorpe Park construction? It's not anything I have seen or heard, it's more what I can imagine. Lol for the hg concept, thorpe may even give you a luxury vip shipping container to spend they day in if you won. I could imagine that they would take you on jurney to get away from other people...

Re: Thorpe Park construction? I have just looked through the planning aplication, I'm thinking this could be on the lines of the Hunger Games. The building looks like it could be like the reaping area from district 12. I did think it could have been Dr who but the graffit does not fit. I can...

Re: Thorpe Park construction? Sorry for the double post but stated before my first post, even if it's a ground hugging coaster you would still have stresses on the ground over as a larger coaster due to the kinetic motion of a woodie. Every member of timer flexes and twists with the forces of...

Re: Thorpe Park construction? I think it's more down to the concentration of footers for a woodie, as traditionally the coasters footprint is fairly compact. With a steel coaster the footers are place fairly far apart meaning loading on the ground is spread out over the course of the coaster...

Re: Thorpe Park construction? I think it was mentioned in their MTP, when they pitched the rough roller coaster layouts. I think it might have penciled for the coaster date of 2015 but that has been pushed back as it seems. Stealth was built at the ceiling height from the original plan and...

Re: Thorpe Park construction? If the next coaster at Thorpe Park is limited to 164ft I think they may go with the woodie option. They could market it as the Uk's tallest wooden roller coaster. A woodie would be my favoured option due to what impact it would have on the skyline from the dome. If...

This sounds fantastic, Toverland has always had big plans and often delivered. The thing that worries me is the plan for a hotel, are they big enough yet to plan a multiple day park. I am sure that with the effort they put into their rides and areas they have built already, this park will become...

Re: Thorpe Park construction? I would love merl in to go down the woodie route, did they not put teaser photos of El Toro Six Flags Gt Adventure on their Facebook page a while ago? May they be looking at an out and back woodie instead of the GCI woodie planned for the Saw site.
