I find it absolutely f***ing ridiculous how they get the Harry Potter park, and we get nothing at all...From a British creation, What the hell is wrong??

I think a big park close to London would do well (Or if they just massively expanded Thorpe) - I mean, it is the most visited city in the world, so there must be some demand

The original Nemesis theme is by far the best...I also like the Inferno one too

Exactly...Once you have cleared the M25, there is not too much traffic at all :--D

Definitely worth the drive though :--D

Although the Parks there are amazing

I have lived there! It is not the best place on earth

If you are going to London, I'd also recommend going to Alton Towers for the day...It is quite a drive but worth it!

Is it ejector airtime that causes that great deep feeling in the pit of your stomach when you go down a good first drop?? Because if it is, then Airtime all the way - I LOVE that feeling, you also get it on launch coasters, you can't really describe the feeling, it is like your stomach it...

Does anyone think the UK will ever get a 200ft plus coaster?? It obviously won't happen in Alton, but I can't understand why we build so small here compared theme parks in other countries?? The most annoying thing about the Swarm, is the fact that after it twists over the station, it easily...

It makes the launch feel longer

@ Hixee - I was not saying Stealth was 'more intense' than Ka, or TTD, given Ka goes 50mph faster and 250ft higher, its a given it is more intense, the only point I was trying to prove was that Stealth has a faster rate of acceleration, regardless of ride experience.

Ok, I really don't see the point in arguing if you think the data is incorrect...I can only use the stats the parks give...If you think they are all lies, than to whichever one is faster is anyone's guess. I just thought I'd point out, even if you use Stealth's origional 0-80 in 2.3 seconds, It...

Unless you can prove my point wrong using maths, there is no point arguing. I could make many claims, but the difference is I have actually backed mine up using evidence - you can not provide any mathematical evidence. My origional point was (If you go back and read my comment) Stealth has a...

The accelerators that feel more intense than stealth are the ones with a slower rate of acceleration but a longer launch track, like rita, ttd, ka etc. And trust me, the 0-82 in 1.8 that Thorpe advertise is true...the maths works out if you substitute those values in to find the launch length...

Ok then, lets look at this from a mathematical perspective: Acceleration = (CHANGE in speed (m/s)) divided by (Time taken (s)) Kingda ka reaches 128mph in 3.5 seconds, 128 mph = 57.2211 m/s so: 57.2211 divided by 3.5 = 16.3 m/s squared - this is Ka's acceleration. Stealth reaches 82mph in 1.8...

How am I wrong? There may be S&S launch coasters in China that I have not heard of, but my point is the Stealth's acceleration is faster than Ka's

Negative g's/Airtime: El toro Positive G's: Goliath's helix Surprise: Tatsu's head first vertical loop Acceleration: Stealth (Stealth actually accelerates faster than Kingda Ka)

Stealth's acceleration is actually faster than Kingda Ka's...Stealth is actually the 2nd fastest accelerator in the world (I am talking acceleration in m/s squared, not top speed), So if you were disappointed by stealth's acceleration, there is only 1 coaster that accelerates faster, Dodonpa in...

Is anyone else dissapointed in the location of this coaster? The thing I love about PA is how beautifully laid out the whole park is...There is nothing like walking in and seeing the beautiful imprint of Khan on the skyline against the blue sky. I mean, the coaster in itself looks amazing, but...
