Re: Atractiepark Slagharen to Build a New Coaster in 2017 I literally just saw a very blurry image of it on a screen, all I saw was a top hat and some inversions :lol:

Re: Atractiepark Slagharen to Build a New Coaster in 2017 There was a live feed in Facebook earlier with regards to this new coaster, and it looks like it is going to be a launch coaster, with a top hat and a few inversions etc. Doesn't look like an exact iSpeed clone from what I could see.

Whilst there's nowt official from the guys who own it, or Winter Wonderland, there is a schedule for the coaster online, that has it down for being at Hyde Park!

Haha I was waiting for someone to say something like that! :lol:

Yeah apparently there is a plot that exactly matches Olympia Looping! But it's just labelled as "new attraction".

One less stand-up in the world can only be a good thing!

Apparently, it's not going to be enclosed, but it is going to have a massive facade around it so you practically can't see it... :?

Yeah this rumour does pop up every year, but this year it does seem to be everywhere. Even people that I trust are saying that there is a strong possibility that the rumours are true.

Re: Derren Brown's Ghost Train (WC16) | Thorpe Park | May 2 Your review Joey is spot on really. Although I'll add that I really don't think the merge from VR to actual reality works well at all. Tons of ott screaming and shouting to get back on the train... then sit, put headset on, adjust...

That new Vekoma creation would be like the perfect brother to Cu Chu!

Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018 Is there really direct competition though? We only pit them against each other coz they're the two best parks we have.

Re: Man falls out of seat on Black Pearl at Lightwater Valle Some of the incidents that are happening at the minute are just frightening really, things that you just never expect to happen. Inverted coaster train completely derails and a restraint failed on an inverted ship ride! Restraint...

Apparently the owner wants £2m for it...

Re: Derren Brown's Ghost Train (WC16) | Thorpe Park | May 2 Lofty's sort of spot on with the 3 different sections not blending together as well as they should. I think that's also caused by the switches from VR to actual reality, and back again. That kind of switch can never flow seamlessly...

Re: Derren Brown's Ghost Train (WC16) | Thorpe Park | May 2 The fact that there was an actual moving train was a nice surprise! That's the one positive I can find right now. Also re-boarding on a different platform confused me for a sec, I assume the ride track is like: Y ?

Re: Derren Brown's Ghost Train (WC16) | Thorpe Park | May 2 I'm also surprised that Derren would want his name plastered all over something that is so lacklustre. Derail your mind? Yeah right.

Trees were coming down in April! And it also looked like they were clearing land behind Zeus...

Re: Derren Brown's Ghost Train (WC16) | Thorpe Park | May 2 How could you say the finale works well?lol nothing actually happens, it's the least scary section of the entire experience... Pre show is amazing, highlight of the entire attraction for me. You could sense the tension in the room...

Re: Derren Brown's Ghost Train (WC16) | Thorpe Park | May 2 Oh Merlin. Ffs! It has so much potential, but is let down majorly but not actually being scary, especially the finale. It ended with a round of "was that it" comments....

Bury your head in SHAME Oakwood...
