I'll be there, not been on Icon yet so can't wait

Thoroughly enjoyed this live. It has been a few years since I've been on a live so it was nice to see all the familiar faces and of course the new ones. I liked what they've done with X, last time I rode it there were lasers and stuff. The walking dead theme has given it a new lease of life...

Hmm my first and only visit to Thorpe was 23rd March 2014 with some of you guys/gals, would love to go again for my second visit as I've been pretty inactive. I went on the 2014 Sweden live and 2016 Ghosterforce Walibi Holland/Toverland/Efteling/Phantasianland live. If you'll have me please...

Had a blast on this trip - lots of great rides, great people, great Taron ERT session etc. Loved it all (and I didn't get escorted off the plane by Police this time). Day 1 The first day was hard work after getting up at 3.30am, flying in to Schiphol and then facing a long day at Walibi...

True. Surely long term it would've been cheaper to maintain LSM rather than replacing tyres and their motors over time? Any industry experts can answer this?

Good point... but from another perspective perhaps in the design stage Gerst could have been like this to Alton... "if you want to proceed with this design there is a risk that this area could on occasion cause a stall/valley if certain conditions are met"".... or am I barking up the wrong tree...

The first time I rode the back row was backwards so I'm looking forward to riding back row facing forwards! Wasn't really fussed on the backwards thing

Re: Oakwood 2014 - New coaster? I don't think it has been mentioned on here but here's some info from Screamscape (from like nearly 10 months ago): Time is dragging on a bit now... surely they still don't have issues with customs? Another season almost over anyway...

IIRC it opened approx 1 year later with over the shoulder restraints as opposed to the T-style lapbars that were fitted when the incident occurred.

Aww, just awful news to read tonight about Vicky Balch. Absolutely terrible news :cry: Hopefully the investigation will conclude soon, almost coming up to a month so it would be nice to have a clearer view of what went wrong

Looking back at a previous stall then according to this: http://old.towerstimes.co.uk/news/news. ... 2C10%2C117 Could there have been another error like that?

ECG^ For example didn't that wild mouse ride accident in Lightwater Valley happen when it was being manually controlled? I'm sure I read the technician was manually operating the ride to try and get all the trains back in to the station. I know the manufacturer isn't exactly as big as Gerst but...

If several people ended up phoning it doesn't really matter.
