Re: Derren Brown's Ghost Train (WC16) | Thorpe Park | May 2 Well, I was fortunate enough to go to Thorpe park yesterday and to be honest, the day was pants. Stealth broke down just when I went on it with my brother after lowering our harnesses, then the same thing happened with Nemesis...

These conspiracy theorists irritate me. Whatever tragedy happens, people always come up with hogwash just make a ridiculous story. In this case, the bloke who made the video probably has nothing better to do in his free time and just decided to make this video either for a laugh (troll) or...

Quick question. From my understanding Paramount is meant to take up all of the peninsula. However, when I went to the site 3 days ago, I found this new addition to the land which is located to the south east. Do the plans show that paramount is going own all of the land, or have I misunderstood...

Those trains appear to be similar in design to the battlestar ride. Hopefully the design shown in the image has been fixed from the issues battlestar had. Another thing this prototype reminds me of is the compactness which can be seen in Vekoma's stingray coaster. Short train for a very compact...

As I finished university early yesterday, I decided to take a walk around the park site to see if there was anything of interest. Since there still is some time to go until anything actually happens, I wasn't expecting much. Regardless, I took photos of things anyway. A hill located in the...

Re: New attraction for former Beastie site? Looking at the amount of space available to build upon, is a wild mouse coaster a most likely option? Though with time progressing and the new being preferred by the public, a MACK e-motion coaster would be most likely if the wild mouse type of idea...

I shame these things happen, especially when there is a death. Someone got stabbed near my house, around the corner, and now they are in serious but stable condition.

Re: Thorpe Park construction? If I'm correct, Thorpe are only allowed to make a coaster up to 3500 ft long I think (correct me if I'm wrong). It says it in the MTDP somewhere, in regards to future attractions.

Re: Battlestar Galactica: Human Vs Cyclon closes for good A shame this has happened to the coaster. Hopefully the necessary things that need to be done to it to make it work again, won't be too costly and time consuming. I wonder if they will decide to ask another company to make the trains for...

Re: B&M Family Inverted Coaster for Happy Valley Shanghai A interesting project B&M have done, to create a family coaster. Appearances are odd at first, but it doesn't take long to get used to. The ride experience looks fun, but I do hope the trains have something interesting to them whether it...

Re: Ocean Kingdom | Flying Over The Rainforest | B&M WingCoa One thing I like about this ride is that 'it does what it says on the tin'. I don't like it when a ride has a name that doesn't fit the ride in regards to the layout and experience. Though this wing-rider isn't as 'constant' as the...

Re: B&M Family Inverted Coaster for Happy Valley Shanghai If this coaster does indeed have a new train design, I wonder if the restraints will be different like Banshees. It will be interesting to see what comes out of this.

Recent news on the site of the Paramount Park. Fortunately it is now safe from that crossing thing the government want to do, so paramount is clear for now. Article: http://www.kentonline.co.uk/dartford_me ... ing-10072/

Here is a screen shot of a job opening from Vekoma. It states the things needed to work in such a area and other helpful things.

The last car of the Expedition Everest train is the my favourite out of the whole train. I like how they chose for real steam to travel through that car and appear out of the funnel, as well as the bottom with assistance of those steam blowers. The rest of the train is ok, but not as good as the...

Since my return route passes through Ebbsfleet international from university, I decided to visit the site as I had finished early. I wasn't expecting much but it was nice to see the scale of the land. All I can say is that it was huge (and hilly)! I took some images of the site. The tallest...

Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster Those little fang things on the side, where Swarm has machine guns, reminds me of headcrabs from Half-Life 2. At first I was disappointed by the train design since it is the same with some differences, as the swarms. A bat creature of some sorts would...

Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster They did indeed do the same with the other trains. The only ones that have images showing them unloaded without theming is of Raptor, X-Flight and Wildeagle. But I take it they have to do it with all the wingriders, and with all coasters now just...

Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster A very nice looking ride, especially for a wing rider. The airtime hill looks like it will provide some great airtime even with the tight restraints the wing riders have, and a great headchooper as a bonus. I have a question though. Does this ride...

Re: Heide Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster Does anybody know how many cars there are meant to be in each train? The way the drop is brings X-flight to mind, which has 8 cars to every train compared to other Merlin wing coasters which are 7.
