It's a shame that these plans are just more speculatory **** that these crappy fan pages churn out by the dozen. Although I can imagine the park getting something like this - a ride that cannot operate with any wind, really poor throughput and also not quite suitable for the market...

Re: Stagnant UK Coaster Situation. It already has! Anyways, to contribute to the discussion, as we are seeing major investment at Paultons next year, it will probably be another couple of years until the park builds something else major. I can't see them building a large scary coaster, as this...

Yeah, I have no idea why the BBC sped it up :?

Re: WC16 | Thorpe Park | New ??? for 2016 It doesn't really seem like a good investment when you consider the huge £30million budget, with that same budget they could have built two major coasters - I don't really think the gp care that much about a dark ride.

According to the pictures in the brochure they also have Colossus. :/

Flight of the thingy mabob testing - here is a photo

Sorry if its already been mentioned, but wtf is with the trains I like the colour scheme and all but why does it have to be such a cage.

Excellent dark ride documentary series, called "British Dark Rides Project", the first episode has been uploaded and it is about the Fifth Dimension dark ride at Chessington. https://vimeo.com/141098686

Wow, Paultons really does like to get their rides working early =D>

Re: Universal IOA to close Hulk for new enhancements Someone asked the park, b&m still remaining the manufacturer. http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/201510/4775/

Here is a POV I made for Raptor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bji7iyKgKRM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bji7iyKgKRM

I swear every physics textbook ever has a stock photo of a coaster to show "fun" and "practical physics". For example

Low expectations always make things better, I'm glad you enjoyed your day in the end.

Coaster number 2 is now fully constructed.

They can currently claim they have the most inversions in a coaster lol. But yeah, there isn't much reason for the GP to go to this park over the numerous other ones in the area.

Generally lapbar coasters do not need any sort of "defensive riding" meaning thats most woodies, mine trains, hypers, some launched. I find most other coasters, excluding the majority of B&Ms, require some kind of effort in order to avoid pain. Personally, I can still enjoy a ride if I have to...

How can people claim its a bad idea when they haven't actually experienced it? In many parks, the actual coaster experience for your eyes and ears is fairly dull, so VR is an easy way to add new life to the coaster. I mean sure, at parks like Disney where the coaster experience is fully themed...

Re: Trip Report: Thorpe Park - 24th, 26th and 28th August 20 How much of the time were you on Swarm to get that many rides on the 24th?

You have to open it in a window in chrome, the silly embedded one in this topic tries to fit it all on the screen at once, where as the actual one allows you to choose what you are looking at. The main reason I am interested in this technology is for the POVs where you are unhappy with the...
