It's just so hard to get a sense of scale for this thing. That first photo of the airtime hill like thing is just...gobsmacking

The park have discussed more here about the rebrand: https://www.thorpepark.com/rebrand/ I prefer the infinity logo, but I see what they're going for. I like the brand ideas and message they're going for. Give it a few months and people simply won't care about the logo.

The Maurer sales team must be hypnotizing people in meetings, its the only explanation.

It comes from the "Queue Lines General Arrangement" document in this set of plans: https://docs.runnymede.gov.uk/PublicAccess_LIVE/SearchResult/RunThirdPartySearch?FileSystemId=PL&FOLDER1_REF=RU.22/1922 The calculations used do suggest that people group together so that there are 3 people per...

That stall loop is going to be *chef's kiss*

Thorpe now have a Hyperia construction blog: https://www.thorpepark.com/blog/hyperia-construction-updates/ Today's on-site update shows that supports either side of the splashdown are going in:

So it seems as if, for now, the Tilt coaster is off, as reported by FOMO coaster: https://www.facebook.com/100057779872501/posts/pfbid02DQWvM8nuqgDrojDZ5gioxqNiGpuRnrqYeUSQWrBR7v5ANyL4abmkJajuoUjWaXCkl/

British maths teacher here... Hixee is bang on with his description. In terms of how calculus is taught in the UK, it is chunked significantly. You'll be introduced to basic differentiation, then basic integration, then the level increases. Once you reach degree level (or high end A Level...

The repaint is well underway

Ring Racer is a good shout. If you want something a bit more obscure, you could potentially talk about Vertigo and Walibi Belgium too: https://rcdb.com/3457.htm

In terms of throughput, this is from the plans: This isn't from the original set of plans, but a later set which was submitted about a year ago I believe. 1050pph sounds realistic given the ride length and capacity. It also sounds achievable, especially since there was a renewed focus on...

As has been said, the park are doing a partial retrack and partial repaint. The retrack is also happening over multiple years. "Technically" it started last year, and is continuing this year. The repaint is happening to ensure everything ends up the same colour. I believe the focus of the...

My season for new stuff has been cut short thanks to a broken ankle. No first visits to the Madrid or Barcelona parks, nor a return to Walibi Belgium. Annoying. I will however get in visits to Plopsaland and Legoland Windsor before the year is out (hopefully) Coaster count at start of 2023...

It's a question I've been thinking about for a while now, and I still don't have a definitive answer. In terms of practicality, I could go. In that, if I wanted to, I could save up and afford it, have the time to, etc. I also about interested in visited SFQ. I'm in a situation where, under...

There's two good places to park which are closer: This is outside the park, prior to the exterior bus stop as you come from Chertsey. It's more a lay-by than a parking spot, so better only for a quick stop. The second is village of Thorpe way: This is right by the entrance to Monks Walk...

Almost definitely not. The park will reveal the trains when they come on site

That Colossus train reveal really came out of nowhere. I completely forgot SFQ were getting a woodie
