Wait what? I was a big fan of Lost Gravity when I rode it (Its currently my favorite Mack Coaster.

Personally I didn't find Infusion bumpy on my last BPB visit, just a bit jolty, but only when it had warmed up (Its worth baring in mind that Infusion had much thicker Polyurethane on it's wheels compared to other SLCs.). On the other hand, I thought that Odyssey was quite a headbanger towards...

Expedition GeForce! - Just a textbook example of what a Rollercoaster should be. BTW I can't wait for the Taron hype train to derail.

I'd assume its for maintenance - Now I'm not an expert, but with RMC's pre-fabricated Topper Track its extremely difficult to replace the wooden layers, resulting in the roughness reported on Outlaw Run and Lightning Rod. By comparison, a Wooden Coaster fabricated on site by carpenters can...

I'd agree with you - However its worth baring in mind that it can take around 2 weeks for things to be shipped from Malaysia to the UK, then the track/supports have to be repainted.

Interesting talk about the two UK Accelerator Coasters. What happened to the rumor that Rita was going to another park in the UK? - Potentially Oakwood until they opted out and built a Eurofighter (It would make sense as the name "Speed: No limits" would be suitable for a ride like Rita).

So all British TV chefs swear and shout? Interesting. BTW I didn't know that Gregg Wallace got a new job! On a more serious note, its interesting to see Six Flags getting some unusual flat rides. Finally, whos manufacturing the Boosters?

Here's some for everyone to dissect: Infusion is the smoothest/best UK SLC. Fenix is very uncomfortable and not very re-ride-able. Lost Gravity's rattle doesn't impact on the ride. Air/Galactica is one of the worst major Coasters in the UK. I've only ridden one Vekoma that I've disliked (El...

03:00, the park's website states 10:00 PM local time (GMT -5).

It would make sense for Merlin to get the Mack Kiddie coaster as Mack help to sell GCI products to the European market. This therefore (If it is the Mack) would continue the relationship and could be of a sign of a multiple Coaster deal.

Mingo baffles me, when I visited only two of the major thrill rides were operation in the first hour of opening. In addition, what is the point of the air-gates on Kumali? Hopefully the £20 million that they apparently payed for their new ride included two trains, at least 95% up time and some...

What about 5 Lech Coasters?

Well yeah, someone decided to put a 0 after the 2!

What if they're lying about the cost just so they could charge an even more extortionate amount of money to get in, just to recover they're non-existent debts? As if £45 didn't take the p*ss already!

Only if this ride turns out to be quite good! Continuing on from this point, if anyone has ridden a rev.B 10 inversion Coaster, how would it rank in terms of UK Coasters (e.g. Top 5)?

The source in post #145 by roomraider states that the ride was sold by MAPS for 11.48 million ringgit (Approximately 2.3 million Pounds). So maybe the ride was sold to Interlink for that much and then sold to Mingo for £20 million. This therefore would make Odyssey look like good value for money...

Pile drilling and pouring footers shouldn't take take too long as they can get large pieces of equipment in (The opposite of course being the case with Icon).
