    Favourite coaster drop?

    Although small, I love the drop on nemesis, it just turns around slowly and then builds up speed out of no where before chucking you into the corkscrew, absolute gold IMO.

    Incident on Typhoon at Bobbejaanland.

    To me it looks as though, either the pre-lift block failed for what ever reason allowing the car on said block to hit the car that had just entered the lift, or the chain snapped (unlikely) and the Anti-Rollbacks failed meaning the the car went down the lift and hit the car on the pre-lift...

    Alton Towers | Wicker Man | GCI Wood

    Oh... my... God...! Going to be flying through there at some speed, going to be brilliant, probably the best part so far!

    Blue Fire, seriously?

    I think Helix and the newer Mack Mega's have kind of shown that the concept that blue fire was, is capable of so much more than what bluefire is, so people kind of see bluefire now as a shadow of what it once was as it kind of hasn't achieved the full potential of its ride type.

    Cedar Point | Steel Vengeance | RMC I-Box (Mean Streak Conversion)

    Holy cow, that's looks brilliant! Who knows what else may lurk beneath the structure? What other surprises are there?

    The Chinese SLC Grows Up With New Track System.

    I could imagine that layout as a B&M and it's absolutely beautiful. :emoji_cry:

    ¿Possible Busch Gardens acquisition in the future?

    No, please, they'll have the orcas and what not swimming through shipping containers as part of the show, like a maze.

    Possible new ride/rollercoaster coming to Thorpe Park in 2019

    Unless there are surveyors markings or what not in the area, I'd find it improbable for a rollercoaster o be in this location because: A.) There were plans a few years ago floating round for a coaster next to swarm island, so Thorpe has been looking to build there for ages now (however they may...

    If i go to alton towers...

    Definitely, Air, Oblivion, Smiler Nemesis (if your up for it), then Th13teen is worth at least a ride or two, and the runaway minetrain is always a good laugh (don't worry if you miss it though).

    Accident on Splash Canyon

    I know that at Alton towers there are various speakers around the ride which tell people to remain seated, I can only assume that this is not the case at Drayton, as even for an excited 11 year old the announcements are hard to ignore.

    Accident on Splash Canyon

    I am completely unsure if this would work, but on the way home today I thought of a latch (like two hooks hooking together), that can be undone normally but is in place to deter people from getting up, now this is where I was thinking, if the boat was to capsize a small ball (about 5mm across...

    Accident on Splash Canyon

    The issue is that Rapids rides are seen more as family rides, provided that younger children are supervised then there is no issue, I don't think teenagers (13 +) need adult supervision, however I think that this group of ~11 year olds should have been supervised to ensure that they are riding...

    Accident on Splash Canyon

    The problem I believe lies with today's blame culture, if the incident was caused by the girl (not saying that this is the case but it seems likely) people will still want to impart blame on the park (however this may be justified) as people never seem to want to blame the victim. So it is in no...
