^I know, I don't think it will be a woodie because what can be 'worlds first' about a woodie that the GP would accept as being a worlds first. Wardley is on board and that has got to be a good sign. I'd love to see a new B&M concept most. I do agree with you about SW6 being a real worlds...

Dude, read his bio on wikipedia. It's pretty obvious he is working on SW6.

How did I miss this thread.... Mirabilandia next year is gonna rule. Be interesting to see how this compares to F-Heit/Marverick.

You know what could be cool, .. a partially underground woodie. Think Balder in a 100 ft deep pit like Nemesis. That would be a worlds first... sorta.

Yeah, the treeline is more like 55/60 ft than the 70ft I said earlier... It was probably the top 10ft or so of corkscrew that was painted green. RITA is painted brown at the highest parts for the same reason.

^AIR has always been advertised as a relaxing non intense ride, because that's what it is. It's on the metal monsters page of the website but that don't mean anything. It's blurb says- Float, swoop, soar and dive. Feel the exhilaration of being weightless. You're flying. Nothing about...

^6 million GBP which is 10 million Euros, what Dæmonen cost. ;)

Yea, I guess they are better qualified to say what they would want to ride than us. But, even if they have the budget, I don't think we're gonna see a Dive Machine, Hypercoaster or anything like that. Chessington is more of a mid level park and that's what the 10-12 yr old demographic...

Well, it would add a new medium thrill level coaster to the park. If kids wanna ride an Invert in the south they can go to Thorpe, but a Floorless is something different for the UK and a small one would fit in with Chessie being a family type park. Meaning it's not too intense. If people want...

0-60mph in two seconds? That's more like a true white knuckle ride. I don't think it fits the 10-12 yr old demographic as well as a small B&M Floorless.

Yeah, I guess the land reclamation had to happen no matter what coaster they stuck there so it would prob be expensive either way. ..I think the huge station will prob add a lot to the ride.. It's like part dark ride, part outdoors.

hmmm... depends what their budget is... how much they want to develop the park. If it was up to me I'd stick a small B&M Floorless in there, like Dæmonen at Tivoli Gardens. http://www.rcdb.com/id2504.htm I think that would fit the park pretty well if they were serious about developing it...

Yea... the plot is an ok size but you can't build above the treeline so they have to be creative. Unless excavations are done on the site it's hard to see how any kind of decent drop could be housed. ...The treeline is about 70ft in that area. What's interesting tho, is that the...

You mean 12 million Sterling :wink:, which is 20 million plus US dollars. SAW is costing 13.5 million Sterling. I'm guessing a lot of this total cost is down to land reclamation and the large station and interior themeing. Oblivion cost 12 mill sterling, half of that will have been...

13.5 million GBP's, holy crap, they could'a got something WAY better than a Euro Fighter for that money. That's what,... 20 mill plus USD's? How much is that steel framed shed costing? ... sheesh. Speed/Oakwood cost 2 million GBP.

Exactly. 12 mill is more than enough for a big thrilling coaster, despite this country being a rip off. Personally I'm expecting the second coming. It's been 10 years since the last awesome ride at AT.

Like I said,- I think I was getting mixed up with stuff like Oblivion costing 12mil sterling back in 98 forgetting the excavation costs. It does cost more over here tho. :wink:

I'm somewhat under the effects of alcohol right now, heh. BUT,- it is a fact that this country (UK) is more expensive in terms of general retail than USA. I think I was thinking of Nemesis/Oblivion, forgetting that half the total cost was spent on excavations. I still think to build a...

Dude, with 12 mill that is more than enough to build a badass big size coaster. Personally I am expecting something awesome, so is every enthusiast in the UK. Don't forget that the economic crisis could factor into reducing the price. Also the UK is really expensive compared to other countries...

Yeah, I think that has already been stated.. About that HP Robocoaster- is that a 2010 release? I can't find it on rcdb. The promo vid looks horrible. Such is the nature of the train design, it seems the layout has to be quite basic.
