    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    The first reason exactly, I don't think it'll fly through that element but will go through with enough speed to make it give some floater. Because of how late the inversion comes on, I do think it'll be very sustained (more than your regular airtime hill). Just going off from experience like on...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this happens to be the longest moment of airtime on any coaster out there :oops:

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    The current tallest element of Hyperia looks like it's been topped off today! https://x.com/ThemeParkGuide/status/1719366306632175908?s=20 I wonder what section they'll work on next, as I imagine they might leave the lift hill till last so they can finish the coaster with the tallest point.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/Cy3u_MAtYo7/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== More track going in! I still find it crazy that we are getting an element like this in the UK :eek:

    New additions on my recent Florida trip: Pipeline – overall 7/10. This coaster pretty much matched expectations. The launch in a stand-up position was very strange but was one of the highlights on this coaster. The airtime was pretty crazy and hit in places I didn’t expect it to. The downsides...

    What is your favourite sequence of elements on a coaster?

    A few that spring to mind: Iron Gwazi - First outer-banked airtime hill > "death roll". The whole layout is amazing but these are definitely the standout moments. Taron - 2nd launch > downwards S-bends > snappy turn into the overbank dive > twisted airtime hill. This whole segment just flows...

    Do you prefer a straight first drop or a twisted first drop on a roller coaster?

    I definitely prefer a straight drop, and for the exact same reasons you mentioned above Matt. But I can't deny, the twisted drop on Lost Gravity was pretty insane too!

    Well, at least 'burnt leaves/feathers' sort of fits in with Thorpe's usual destroyed/decayed themes :)

    Rank your Ridden B&M Inverts

    1. Black Mamba - Amazing coaster! Constantly hugging the terrain with plenty of near-misses and the theming is incredible. It's one of the rare occasions on a B&M where I found front row to be more intense too. 2. Montu - A big old-school invert with some whippy and forceful moments (especially...

    Alton Towers' Next Big Thing?

    Based on the planning permissions, I'd say it's likely to going to be behind Walliams and next to Thirteen.

    Annnnd the iconic corkscrew is now in place! Photo - https://www.instagram.com/p/CwC9sNttW2k/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Shouldn't be too much longer until the all the new track is installed (possibly at the end of next week!)

    Best and Worst restraint?

    Best: It's between the B&M Clamshells and the New-gen Intamin lap bars for me. Worst: Vekoma SLCs (Infusion/Kumali). Such an awful design.

    Dorney Park | Iron Menace | B&M Dive Machine | 2024

    The title of the coaster instantly made me think that it was going to be an RMC 😂

    Universal's Epic Universe | Orlando USA | Theme Park

    In terms of launches, yeah! Intamin definitely has the more intense and powerful launches. When I think about Icon and how gentle that coaster is, I can totally see why a lot of people tend to be disappointed with those Mack coasters. But then I went on Lost Gravity at Walibi and that totally...

    How Has Your Enthusiasm Grown or Changed?

    Can't remember the exact dates on when my enthusiasm changed, but it's something along the lines of... 2001-2005 : Hadn't been to any parks besides the one at my local shopping centre (Metroland) and was starting to play games like Roller Coaster Tycoon which got me more into the idea of bigger...

    Most immersive rollercoaster experience outside of Disney and Universal?

    There's a few that have sprung to mind.... F.L.Y - Best coaster experience I've ever had and that also beats any of the Universal and Disney stuff too. Flying around the hotel, over the top of buildings and through the tunnels in the front row was just incredible. Taron - Such an amazingly...

    Looks like the station won't just be a getting a repaint 👀 https://www.instagram.com/p/CvNPdYXtWnl/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== I hope they change up the inside of the station too to be honest. It was cool and nostalgic as an old wharehouse inside, but I feel like it'd be great to have it look...
