But in this case everything isn't necessarily there to "copy". As Mark said above, when you are just taking something that is already there it's easy; take Thomas Land as an example. You have the Fat Controller and Thomas the Tank Engine along with some others - you can't go wrong. You're just...

^I agree with that, but then again it's just more money that they're not going to spend. Do you really think not much thought went into Thirteen?

Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider? It's been posted a couple of times around the forums before. And I agree with Ian; good to see another wingrider coming along, I am desperate to ride one.

All I can say is wow... I really need to get back to Europa. The ride interaction and theming just look amazing!

^If you mean braking force then yes you will need a larger braking force to stop a heavier object (I thought you meant g-force). If you have a larger weight (=mg) it will have more kinetic energy (=(mv^2)/2), meaning the braking section will need to be longer. This is because this energy needs...

Re: Legoland Denmark | Polar X-plorer | Zierer with drop sec This looks like a really cool coaster with some nice theming. I'd like to ride one of these Zierer coasters with drop sections, as I enjoy Thirteen and it would be interesting to see how they compare with Intamin's interpretation of...

That last shot looks absolutely fantastic. I should be safely able to ride this seeing as I'm going in late July, which will be my first trip to PortAventura. :--D

If it's freefall then theortetically it doesn't, as everything experiences the force due to gravity independent of mass.

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st I think this is bang on. I've kind of felt the same about Alton Towers recently, though I'll admit I haven't been visiting that long. I'd say since the back end of 2007 I've visited almost religiously, which only died down near the end...

The thing is, Nemesis has been like that for 18 years, and to suddenly add something to act as a "pre-show" for it so long after its initial opening doesn't make sense to me. I haven't ridden it yet, but the backlash of the public is like nothing I've seen for a new ride at Towers. I'm still...

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st Where I find fault with Saw is the fact that it produces virtually no force. The indoor bit is good and so is the drop, but the layout is just so lacklustre. It's just silent and you can't really feel anything. I don't find it rough...

^Yes. Loved how they started with the question: "Is this just another publicity stunt?"

^^That is a fantastic photo, can't wait to ride this in the summer. I actually quite like the interaction with Khan's lift hill.

I think I've managed to get around, thanks anyway guys.

Presentation on designing a roller coaster in German.

Hopefully someone may know this... Is there a specific translation for upstop wheel into German?

Those trains really do look good, I love the attention to detail.

Re: The Jer development topic! [Krosis Update! 3/6/12] I quite like the layout myself, not too sure about the colours though; seems a bit too bland.

I agree with those who say it isn't worth it; I spend £10 max on food & drink when I visit Alton. Can't see many using it.

The debate of who is at fault when one of these accidents occurs is definitely an interesting one. The system that rollermonkey describes definitely sounds like a secure one and may be the reason why, as Joey says, B&M seem to be immune to these kind of incidents. Out of curiosity, does Intamin...
