    IOA | Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure | Intamin LSM Launch (Dragon Challenge replacement)

    Oakwood have just bought a used Pinifari. Surely you can not be serious.

    Accident at Alton Towers

    By that logic, these 'warnings' should apply to literally anything ever created. Everything you do is you taking a risk, no matter how small that risk may be. Of course, there's no point trying to explain that to any of these people who think that roller coasters are death traps.

    Thorpe Park "bans" big-breasted woman

    "Nah I didn't go for one ride lol" Another comment from her that sums this up perfectly. She clearly doesn't care that she couldn't get on two rides, the rest of her day was obviously fine and she managed to get onto other rides. Clearly just her few minutes of fame, from the sounds of it she's...

    Ghostbusters dark ride - Heide Park

    Re: Ghostbusters dark ride - Heide Park Yay! A ride themed to Ghostbu- oh, the 2016 film. Seriously though, theming it to Ghostbusters 2016 is a very poor move. Sure, the film may be newer, but it bombed at the box office and had an incredible amount of hate towards it. Yeah, that sounds like...

    California's Great America | Patriot | Vortex Conversion

    How is a dive machine a bigger investment than a hyper or giga? Surely a hyper/giga would be a lot more expensive than an average dive machine.

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

    I don't know if this has been mentioned, but why is Project 2018 being called "The first multi launch coaster in the country", when it's not even the first in Pleasure Beach! Surely Revolution would (it should) count as a multi launch coaster, as you ride two different launches. Even if you...

    Liseberg | Valkyria | B&M Dive Coaster

    Although I've never ridden it myself, I do feel it would be a shame if Kanonen didn't live on in another park - it looks like a decent ride for the small space. Although I do understand it - despite having completely different layouts, to the average park visitor I guess Kanonen could be seen...

    Cedar Point | Steel Vengeance | RMC I-Box (Mean Streak Conversion)

    Re: Mean Streak Removal - What's Next? But at the same time, why do YOU think it's logical that RMC would turn up this early to build a ride for 2018?

    Areas with a high concentration of a manufacturer's rides?

    Re: Areas with a high concentration of a manufacturer's ride Not to forget the Arrow dark and family rides that Disney has.

    Thorpe Park to get a Flying Coaster?

    I've never got why people think Thorpe would be getting a hyper. Stealth already is a hyper, albeit not a typical one, so why would they build a second? If the general public want height when at TP, they've got Stealth.

    Thorpe Park to get a Flying Coaster?

    Right, well that clearly isn't to any realistic scale. And why is this in News & Rumours?

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

    Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018 Does it even need a theme? PB aren't a theme park, and except for their dark rides and Nickelodeon Land, have never tried to theme anything (the closest is Steeplechase and Grand National, but the theme goes as far as the name).

    Accident at Alton Towers

    BUT HOW WILL WE KNOW ITS SAFE UNTIL SAFETY EXPERT VICKY IS ON THE CASE?!?!?!?!?!? The good thing is that people actually seem to realise that all this "coasters are dangerous" stuff is just BS. Just look at the comments on the link on Facebook - most of them just pointing out that the ride is...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

    Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018 Why would the Big Dipper be unsafe? It's perfectly fine. As is the Wild Mouse. Both are perfectly safe, and the Wild Mouse is the best Wild Mouse in the world. You are the one who clearly doesn't have taste if you think the Wild Mouse is unsafe and...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

    Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018 Firstly, it's highly unlikely PB would ever be able to buy a huge B&M like what you're suggesting. Secondly, Big Dipper is still a popular family thrill ride, and Infusion is a popular thrill ride. It would be a stupid move to remove two popular rides...

    Do you wanna know what really grinds my gears?

    What really grinds my gears? Fast track. It's a pain in the behind at a park like Pleasure Beach, where there are no queues that justify the use of fast pass. After waiting the very short 10 minutes, as the excitement builds as you have front seat on the Big One, prepare to have the joy smacked...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

    Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018 I'd expect you to be a little more optimistic :wink: What has been revealed about the ride itself we didn't know before? All this has shown is that a website is being set up for Project 2018, which we already knew existed. Pretty sure this secret...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

    Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018 The placement of the exit shop marker makes it seem unlikely that the ride will use the Grand Prix space and station. Why would the exit be so far away from the entrance, which isn't at a dead end or out the way like the Infusion station?

    'Rage of the Gargoyles' VR at Six Flags

    Because it's not supposed to crap out? I really don't understand his point. It's like saying, if your car breaks down, you'll have to walk. So why buy a car? BECAUSE ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!!!!!!!
