[Efan]

Yeah but no one cares.

EDIT:- So this is 100% legit, because Thorpe are putting 0s in every single one of there tweets:-

Alton are missing apostrophes (and the point) in their tweets quite often.
Sorry to piss on your dreams, but I really wouldn't read anything into it.

Tbf they did reply in the comments of one basically confirming it.

It's ironic really because I have Zer0 interest.

In the past, Thorpe have subtly tweeted about getting an RMC, a B&M hyper, a top spin and who knows what else.

All the tweets conform is that Thorpe have noticed enthusiasts becoming interested by a video related to 0s, and decided to play of it a bit. Doesn't necessarily confirm it's a Thorpe thing.

Question from the non-nerd: these computer generated mock ups, are they based on any kind of real physics? Cos that^ thing just doesn't look like it would have enough momentum to complete the layout.

Old comment, but dragging it up. Yes, NL2 has a fairly good physics model (friction and air resistance) that gives a pretty good idea of how the coasters would actually run. I can't say I know exactly how it implements it, but I think the friction is a standard value which is applied according to the force of the train on the track (higher force = higher friction). Air resistance I think is probably similar, with some generic factor that's applied based on the speed of the train. Not perfect, of course, but probably not a long way off.

Does that make me one of the nerds, though...?

^One of the nerds?? Nooo. Hix - you're King of Nerds!

Whatever this is I'd bet money on it having a dark/horror theme.

Because it's an absolute new theme, never to be done before at a Merlin park.

Perhaps they are hinting at the amount of money they plan to spend on this new attraction.
