Truly horrendous outcome for the girl. 20mph speed of collision? I'd like to see what the HSE inspectors put the collision speed at. I'm not syaing I ever thought these trains looked like an accident waiting to happen, but their design has always struck me as truly awful. An almost afterthought.

The Odyssey on the neck, especially over a few rides. Big Dipper first drop jerks the back if you're not prepared for when the train hits the bottom.

They will try and 'animalify' Chessington as much as possible to try and make it a USP for the area - but it's still most liable to be canned I agree. They have already decided that they need to make Thorpe and Alton more family friendly and indeed it wouldn't surprise me if Legoland's started...

I love the way so many people spout their hatred of Flaming Go Land, yet they all will come flocking when they open a wooden coaster.

Re: Paultons To Build Custom Vekoma Boomerang They are in the 1 million attendance club since they launched Pepper Pig.

A completed Lego model of 2,000+ bricks is defined as an attraction.

There will soon be more Legoland attractions than McDonald's worldwide.

The licensing system is stupid and meaningless anyway. Dangerous people get into the sport and are not banned when they cause incidents, simply because they are rich.

Re: Thorpe Park construction? Vengeance - it was a '5D' laser shooting cinema ride at London Dungeon - was LOUD. It was like having that old Wakiki Wave Vekoma flat that was at Flamingo Land a a few years back.....in a 30x30ft room. You could hear it several rooms before the ride and several...

I remember when I saw him smoking while playing drums, which I thought was pretty hardcore.

The Odyssey

Do we think it's the old train tarted up or a new/refurbished one? -Sent from a mobile phone-

Re: Oakwood 2014 - New coaster? I must admit I'd not heard of Sleepy Hollow before, but when I looked into it it seems cool. -Sent from a mobile phone-

You can't keep things this size in tanks. It's exploitation beyond belief, but alas nothing new. -Sent from a mobile phone-

Shredder tbh

Anyone think it's days are numbered, possibly not returning next year? It was widely understood last year that they came close to closing it following a number of incidents. Would be a shame if they did.

Well they're remaining bullish so far, but I think they may cave in - certainly not expecting it to return next year.

It's shut again, oh wait - that's just the poor opening hours despite the height of summer being upon us.

We'll blame poor engineering skills and bodging, I think. I bet it's closed for weeks.

There is none officially as far as I can tell, rather that you can sometimes get on things during the testing phase - as indicated above.
