Re: "Unknown", B&M Invert for Parc Asterix Not sure, just noticed it while having a browse :-) I think it means or based on "God of the afterlife" OzIris. Wiki is an Egyptian god, usually identified as the god of the afterlife, the underworld and the dead. He is classically depicted as a...

Re: "Unknown", B&M Invert for Parc Asterix I see rcdb are listing its name now, dont think its been mention so far. Oz'Iris.... :?

Re: "Unknown", B&M Invert for Parc Asterix Ha, no, it really isn't. I would like to see you try and apply the sand rock to a wire shell with no netting round it, it would fall off! ;-)

Re: "Unknown", B&M Invert for Parc Asterix ^ The grey isnt the finished product, as Bibendun said. They put the wire structure up then cover it in a netting, which happens to be grey, then they apply the sand coloured rock on top, I think :-) The grey netting is there just to stop the "sand...

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 Wow that looks great! By the time you turned upside down and realised where you are your going to be having that wing directly in front of your face! Thats going to feel really tight going through that gap, cant wait.

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 Raptor was silky smooth and I don’t remember any manoeuvre being uncomfortable, the harness was a little uncomfortable in general and actually more comfortable when upside down for some reason. It seemed to get tighter and tighter as you went...

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 http://www.rcdb.com/9309.htm?p=34246 Thats what a wing rider is, and I think the theme will be very much the same except TP are going for a dark grey I believe! :-)

:shock:

Fairly quiet year compared to the last few. We got to Gardaland, Disney Paris, Alton Towers and Thorpe Park. Gardaland being the highlight of the year, although not loads of good rides, the park itself is a nice place to be and being somewhere, unlike the UK, thats warm and sunny :-)

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 I know this isnt the right topic so ill end it here but I cant believe they spent that much on it! :shock: for that! :-) Never mind hopefully the next one will be an improvment.

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 What about Thirteen?...... Is there any others that has that first drop? I cant think of any :?:

Seen a few at Thorpe Park over the years, not helped by the casual security! A lot of the fights seem to be caused by queue jumpers, or the people being queue jumped. My girlfriend got knocked over in the Stealth queue line by a fight behind us.

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 Very true, its a lot easier to get to Thorpe Park :-) I dont care if it isnt a worlds first, theres a lot of talk about it being just that and it isnt. Its a great addition to TP and it will help distribute the crowds better in whats a quite...

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 TP dont seem to like repairing their theming in the past ive notice. Although, Ill give them there due, this year quite a lot was working I think Merlin put a bit more effort in than Tussauds. The Nemisis tunnel and the Tidal Wave flamer...

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 ::lol: thats a shame although TP doesnt exactly have much room as it is. They need to get rid of the paddling pool!

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 ^ I think it will be very well themed! Raptor was well themed but from what I have seen in the plans this should be even better! Are they putting in any new flats in the area?

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 :-) I can see the "Webcam" shot and you can see a bit of track but not much, I was just wondering what else there is or is that it! http://www.theswarm.co.uk/#/DevDiary/ I have to admit and I know they are some big fans but I thought Raptor...

Re: Ring°Racer, Nürburg, Rhineland-Palatinate Germany I noticed on RCDB that this one is still listed as "under construction" and has been for some time, is that incorrect or maybe the problems their having with speed etc means its not officially open??

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 Im hearing that the track is now fully complete and the only photo I can find doesnt really show it all. Does anyone know of a birds eye view or a photo of the whole track in view?

Re: Whos going to be making use of the £9.50 Sun Disney tick Eurostar would be nice but we got a qoute for £298! Plus the times they depart and arrive would mean a nights stop which is another £50-£100, plus 2 days park ticket at £208. Thats around £600 for a 2 day trip where the sun, although...
