Ripsaw Reborn lol
I do welcome this, but I really hope Alton takes some notes from Talocan, it's so popular on social media, and with the right effects will be filmed alot by onlookers. I was joking about a Ripsaw Reborn, but that kind of approach could work pretty well here.
Would love a big...
Selkie by Richard Lerwill
Background-
Selkie is a Celtic Mermaid that takes the form of a seal in the water and a beautiful woman on land. If their seal skin is stolen they cannot return to the water and forever stuck on the shore. Take a ride with the Selkie as it finds it's skin and returns...
I've been majorly stuck in a rut recently with design, trying to follow the real life coaster trends of big dueling mack coasters, multi launches, RMCs, B&M family/surf coasters. But it all lead me to hit a wall and loose interest. I realised I needed to just take a step back and find...
By reinforcing the Nemesis brand is actually makes LESS sense to remove it from Nemesis Inferno. Although a logo revamp so that they are still aligned would be very welcome.
If they want to lean into that they shoulda done metal fencing, I dunno, this just feels like fencing you put behind the scenes, not in the queue.
Anyway, we have spikes! (coutersy of TowersStreet) Looks like they run along the legs, which is pretty cool actually. a Choice I approve of...
Yeah I thought that... but the fence on the other side of that queue doesn't go into a ride area and its still a 6ft prison fence. I've seen the same from aerial shots (that I can't seem to find). Non of the old wooden fencing is there anymore , which is understandable coz it was old, but I...
Using old vehicles is a bit of a pet peeve of mine with Merlin theming, they have one for almost every attraction. Nemesis already has the bus and the Sub-Terra tank thing. I know they get ripped for the shipping containers but the vehicles are worse imo.
I am holding out for Nemesis (Reborn)...
That looks horrible though. And I think "locking" the type to the background symbol causes a lot of issues when you want a flexible identity. My favourite park logos are mainly just type with a splash of personality (Toverland, Liseberg, Efteling, Phantasialand etc etc) and this is no different...
It's definitely NOT a downgrade. I'm actually wondering if anyone has actually seen the old Thorpe Park logo... it's genuinely awful and looked incredibly dated years ago, plus the type face was hideous. I wonder how they got away with it for so long.
That said though, this logo does look a...
Gonna have to 100% agree here. Riding it during Fright Nites it was absolutely flying and so so smooth. The forces are punchy as hell (the loop is way more powerful than Nemesis’). It’s so well paced and the theme is really cool. I couldn’t get enough of it. Was surprised really as I never...
Yeah actually I read somewhere the name was going to be Ikarus and that made me rethink the concept abit to be more of a dive. "Flying too close to the sun" and then diving back down to earth in interesting ways. Each one of the "dives" is different.
As long as they're not tedious I don't mind. Batman: Gotham City Escapes is a prime example of a bad one, you're stuck in a big room and theres loads of dialogue and like no special effects. If you're gonna do a preshow, fill the room with stuff to look at.
Wickerman is probably my favourite...
Or it's all meaningless marketing terms INVENTED by Cedar Point. They literally just invented new categories just so they could shout about Magnum, MF and TTD. I find it funny when people argue over these things when they're not even recognised terms by the manufactures that make them. (For...
So I managed to ride it this week! Whoop
I have to say straight off I'm very impressed with this coaster and it does a lot of things that excite me that I think don't come across in the off rides, although I do have a couple niggles.
First off the first launch has an almighty kick which is a...
