    Thirteen, Intamin ''psychoaster'' - Alton Towers 2010

    They should retheme the area to the corner shop in Coronation Street. Rita can be renamed to Rita Sullivan: The Ride. The new ride could be called Norris. He's late for work and has to rush to get there in time, when he finally enters the building, Rita is angry because he is late and hits...

    I think using the word 'ride' to describe a launch coaster makes it sound far too tame, as if going on a little journey. They don't want Rita to look like that.

    Glad i'm not the only one who thinks that! Demon, surrender and the eye image give a very iconic represntation of common horror elements. I don't see why Alton would bother hinting things, almost every who sees those posters will just think "Oh it's a new horror ride", all Alton need to do is...

    It would be cool if they did what they did with Hex and move the building with the ride. The train enters a small room, and a door closes behind and the train is locked in. As the track begins to move the whole room could move with it, so you feel it, but you can't actually see yourself...

    I just spent ages figuring out what the track under the drop was in the previous picture... luckily i figured it out before posting the question and embarrassing myself :)

    To me, it looks taller than corkscrew did, but i assume this is because the track is much smaller. Loving the look of it though!

    Or closer to home, Duel falls into that category too!

    Floorless Oblivion

    Top scan yes, sky swat no. A ride would fit snuggly into the area where the black hole tent is, but seeing as they haven't removed it i guess they want to fill the tent with another attraction when the time comes.

    Indeed, i wouldn't even be sure that they're 100% on what name they've picked yet, they're probably still fiddling with names and logos. Do we actually know how long the trains are yet? And what the seating is like?

    They previously marketed themselves to a younger audience with sea life and battle galleons etc, now they probably want to regain the thrill seeker audience by advertising this as a big thrill.

    RCT3 Windows 7?

    I'm running the full version, but haven't tried RCT for a while, there may have been an update recently. The annoying thing is, the game just closes, no error message is displayed so it's hard to pinpoint exactly what's going wrong :(

    I would imagine that to be an evacuation catwalk, since the train presumably stops up there.

    RCT3 Windows 7?

    RCT3 was perfectly stable in Vista for me. In Windows 7 the game randomly crashes within 15 mins of playing.

    Launch coaster speed variations

    Why do accelerator coasters vary in speed each time they launch? Do LSM launches also vary in speed?

    The Intimidator. B&M Hyper 2010 - Carowinds

    I've only just realised... There are TWO coasters being built called Intimidator! But one has 305 on the end. I was confused as to why it seemed to be jumping between a B&M and Intamin. So what's the deal? And what does 305 mean?

    The top bit is where it returns to the station building after the 'standard coaster' part.

    Project Xera - RCT3 - Updated 5th January '10

    I know that this is completely off topic, but why on earth did they give the log flumes wooden supporting? Every log flume i've been on has had steel supports... so wooden just looks dreadful to me. Do you actually get wooden supported log flumes or is this just a massive mistake for the...
