Uh guys? What the hell? What about the Iron Horse conversion of Gullivers World's Antelope coaster? ? It's going to have a launched lift hill, break the wooden inversion record AND have more airtime moments than SteVe, El Toro and The Voyage combined! And that's not even mentioning the octuple...

I hate to say it but I really can't see that being the case. I don't think the Hypercoaster was ever anything more than speculation. Unfortunately, I can't see any coasters coming to Thorpe for a reasonable number of years. It's underperforming and they're not going to want to invest in the park...

What if they used a pre-built space? They're pretty limited with indoors locations, but i'm sure they could find somewhere. Hell it could even be something as simple as an event or maybe some form of an immersive AR game based around an app. Their budget is probably pretty small and I absolutely...

So we all know how much Merlin love their IP's right? First INITIALISING and now Privacy and Pixelated Faces? Black Mirror anyone? No idea how on earth they'd make an experience out of that, but could be a potential thing?

Pretty surprised by the number of votes for Valhalla to be honest. It's one of the wettest in the UK for sure, but I find that's pretty reliant on the hammers being turned on. Stormforce 10 is easily the wetter ride purely from the backwards drop on the back row. Love getting drenched with dirty...

So Tower of Terror (Orlando) is the clear winner for me. It's the combination of the immersive way the story is bought to life and the surprisingly intense, yet fun drop and launch sequences. I dare say it's pretty much the perfect ride. Detonator gets bonus points for being stupidly intense...

OMG!!! Dangerous ride, should be shut down now. It's a public health risk!!! I'm never taking my kids again!!! Theme parks should be banned!!! They're sooooo dangerous!!! ? In all seriousness though good to hear it's nothing serious. Sounds like it must've just been some freak illness. But...

So it would appear a guest has been taken away by air ambulance today according to the AT Facebook page. Hoping it's nothing major. Does anyone know anything more?

Says the one resurrecting a topic which hasn't been posted in for over a year... :rolleyes: Cool to see you're a new member, but i'd recommend posting on more recent topics and adding something to the discussion rather than attacking a member on a dead topic. Dear god I created this monster of a...

Hi everyone. Myself and a friend have booked a holiday to Orlando next year to visit all of the parks and resorts and we were wondering if anyone has any advice on size restrictions when it comes to fitting on rides/restraints. My friend has unfortunately faced huge issues fitting on rides in...

Damn it really is quite a large area. Will definitely be interesting to see how they use the space. As much as I want a GG woodie, something tells me this isn't what we'll be seeing. I hope I am wrong, but I think that's probably a couple of years down the pipeline. Definitey excited to see what...

Even for a first inversion coaster I still think it could pack a bit more of a punch. It's cool that it has a following, but I just don't think it was the best use of space. I really don't understand how anyone could like Falcons Fury though, it's awful. There's very little falling sensation. I...

Haha yeah that was my reaction too, I thought it would've been smooth. Munich Looping is fab, but this just shook and rattled way too much, it was just an unpleasant experience.

In your opinion... I think Magic Kingdom is a great all-rounder. It has incredible theming and some of the best ride experiences out there. Of course it's not going to suit thrill seekers so I can understand anyone who disagrees. There's a couple of reasons I really hated the park. So from least...

Why are we speculating about what the possible new ride for Thorpe is in 2020 when i'm pretty sure Thorpe don't know what it is either? Just saying, I don't think 2020 is going to happen. More like 2021 or even later. Merlin seem so disinterested with Thorpe at the moment.

So after my Orlando trip I have a pretty much entirely new top 10! Got to say find it pretty hilarious how there's now no UK coasters in my top 10. Just goes to show how poor our line-up is over here compared to the rest of the world. Probably quite a few controversial opinions in here so please...

From what I understand it was just for the press night. But yeah overall the ride was pretty great. Obviously it's still the same coaster, but the new theming, sfx and sounds really elevate it to a whole new level. It's a wonderful experience, and I really did forget that I was just riding a...

C'mon, as much as I hate X this is a fantastic idea! They've given a fresh lease of life to a ride that was otherwise on its last legs. Sure Walking Dead isn't to everyone's tastes (it sure isn't to mine) but it's huge! Even now as it is dying out in popularity, there's still a massive...

Wow, don't know if anyone's seen Thorpe's announcements today, but for some reason Saw Alive is returning this Summer. Seems a bit random, but hey it's a scare attraction i'll take it! Nice to see Merlin doing something seemingly only for the customer for once!
