Thanks for the comments, it's good to know people enjoy it! It's just amazing how quickly this year has gone by, seems like only days ago we were all falling about drunk on the floor of the Blackpool Travelodge :lol: Made me realise how much I miss my mates from home.. still, uni hols start next...

I haven't done one of these in a while - here's a video 'report' of our trip to pleasure beach back at Easter! The delay was mainly due to the fact that I didn't have much decent footage to work with so kept putting it off..but here's the result anyway...

Look what I found on a random trip to Drayton carpark!! Using logic, this won't be the new Thomas Land ride, so must be the coaster! It all seems to make sense too, Ben 10 on his superhero pose (does he have a skateboard too?!) would seem to support any halfpipe 'coaster' rumours...

Abie Danter, it's a new machine and going to be called 'Air' and feature a new unique lighting system, on which nobody really has any details!

Wild Mouse at BPB, wow.

That video looks sped up to me? Especially when compared to this vid of it; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZEAymPB50s Still looks bloody mental though!!

The Fabbri's have two lift hills, and pretty much no drops! Not the best pics to show the difference but here's a couple from google images; Reverchon Fabbri

It's a Fabbri like Thorpe's, but with the seats arranged in a square (3 on each side) as opposed to a circle. It's a few feet taller than detonator, and the drop feels so much more powerful (It's got the rams that push you down faster than gravity, which I know Detonator does too, but they...

Fantastic. The second video is amazing, not been that impressed with an RCT3 coaster in a long time!

I find them pretty scary, but love them once I've been on them. Saying that, when I return to a park I will be re-scared of the same tower until I re-ride and remind myself of the joy. I think the thing I find worst about them is the fact that you can't see the track or anything in front of...

I went last night, the drop tower was £2 a go, along with most other rides! Even if the tower was £7, I'd still recommend it - It's the most incredible drop I have ever been on (which include Hurucan Condor, Apocalypse, Detonator, cliffhanger, venom etc). I got on for free anyway, heh heh!

I wish I'd had the chance to ride it when it still had the tesla coil, I've heard it looked a bit rubbish/not obvious that it was meant to be lightening. I'm sure the on ride photo is just before the end of the ride?

:P

Has it been fully pulled down? The KMG boosters are very easy rides to pull down, the arms fold in pretty much at the push of a button, so some places will just fold the arms in when they're not opening for a while, or when there are high winds.

With travelling coasters, the whole track and structure obviously needs to be disassembled between each fair. In theory, this allows any potential problems to be spotted relatively quickly and for any necessary maintenance to take place. I definitely agree with what ECG said above too.

Just been on the Drayton website and looked at the news ticker - the currently closed rides are Maelstrom, Pandemonium and Drunken Barrels. I know what it says there isn't the be all and end all, but it would suggest that G Force is still operating today? .. Just saw the date on the...

Monday 13th September. If it was a friday, it'd be unlucky for some. Luckily it wasn't a friday, which meant that a trip to thorpe park could not possibly have any glitches. I don't really care about riding flat rides at theme parks, all seems a bit pointless. I do love them at fairs, but my...

Thankyou, glad you liked them!
