Great! I love this stuff! Well done, great work. Please feel free to post up more I'd love to see some other manufacturers analysed in detail too. No really surprising results for me however.

^I agree. I'm surprised there's not a 2nd bridge over to it by the Garden past Stealth.

Also just noticed that the ride will pass under the Aeroplane wing just after the drop. That'll be great!

It's not too short and it seems like it'll pack a punch, 4 inversions and some tight corners. Great! Theming looks good and new food outlets and toilets are a good addition.

Maelstrom for me too.

Just on the MTDP argument: The MTDP showed two coaster sites. The one you're all debating stated a coaster height of 50m. The other site said it's hold a coaster of 40m. That's the height stated on the Press Release. Maybe we're all looking at the wrong site? I can see an argument that...

^working for me. Shots are from a long distance. Trains look okay from there, but I gotta say I'm dubious about the William and Kate name thing.

Kinda like Furie's first tip there... I like to terrain the park first generally and build around the terrain like parks have to do really. Some terrain shaping can be done afterwards (Nemesis style) but mostly you can to work with the natural areas you've given yourself. Also, another...

The Nemisis POV really does make the scenery feel extremely close! I know what you're saying by capturing the feel of the ride. The professional POVs can be too smooth!

^ and it'll work. GP will be reminded of Thorpe nicely before opening or they might even think "I fancy a new ride" and go this year. And because it works and is cheap they'll keep doing it. Well played I say, they're winning all round. The industry is gaining from it and our hobby will keep...

Yeah. Sorry this is lame... Is it a game or a service? Because I think over 99% of us are above any minimum height so that's the service out... and if it's a game... it's not fun.

I quite like corkscrews... So I'm okay with 4. .. Just thought I'd let you all know.

Don't think you'll find any orange paint left in B&Q Blackpool.

For those discussing how it worked earlier in the thread... You were mostly right. The disk that pushes up is actually magnetic and holds firm to the bottom when the glass is full. The company that makes these are marketing the discs for advertising/gimmick space. They say the discs will be...

Not renewing the AP this year, so I'm expecting less quick trips to Thrope and Legoland, that being said we'll make use of what we can. Also got a holiday booked in Madrid, two new parks for us there. So: - Alton Towers in February half-term. - Thorpe 13th March (the day before my AP...

I'm a big first drop fan. Not necessarily vertical, and i'm less excited by beyond vertical, just a great thrilling first drop. It's a combo of the lift, cresting over the edge, acceleration and height.

Thanks for falling into that...

ahem... (P.S. I'm STILL not being serious (I hope))

Thanks for the advice guys. I've now discovered that Parque Warner and Parque de Atracciones are owned by the same company. I've been looking over the internet for a single ticket to cover both (and Madrid Zoo if possible), but I can't find one, the annual pass seems to exclude Warner. Does...

My name is Graeme... hi. It's usually misspelt in cards and things, most people remember the e in it, but can't forget the ugly h. So i get Grahame Graehm, all sorts of wierdness. As for speach, I am just Graeme to 90% My eldest sister calls me "Gremlin"... my longest lasting nickname...
