    New Roller Coaster Concepts

    I was using Knex as my baseline to my world first creation! There is no point having a great ride in your head if you can't build it somehow, but with an extreme amount of hours a could create it! It took days upon days in the summer without a break to get it to run smoothly! But I have built it...

    New Roller Coaster Concepts

    I would tell you but I would have to kill you, My dream is to create new concepts and I am not going to open up to the world wide web, to steal my ideas! All I will say is, my concept is extreme but practical and can be made using knex, but would involve more technology than th13teen!

    Scary Footpath In Spain

    I would love to do that! But I always have the same problem with heights, which is always feel as though I will throw myself off it, because I always have the voice in the back of my head saying 'I could actually do it' So I stay far away from open spaced heights! But what an adrenalin rush!

    Formula 1™ Topic

    Re: Formula One 2011 Its good to see they have banned use of DRS in the monaco tunnel! Otherwise it would have been lethal in there! I do think however for the Monaco race they should have given drivers more freedom to use DRS throughout the circuit, because of the lack of use on the...

    UK decline

    I like the world firsts that our UK parks create, because unlike america that can build huge terror machines the UK has to find something different, for that reason I would rather have a one of a kind ride in the UK than be a follower of the American 'same old same old' rides! In america we seem...

    Ideas for Thorpe Park 2015 and 2012 coaster

    I recon 2015 will bring a world first coaster and my guess is that it will either go on a man made island or they will make something like G-Force at drayton manor in calypso quay i.e bannan boat and fungle safari! I really think an X car would be good for thorpe park!

    Brand Advertisements on Ride

    I think it is disgusting that they advertise in this way, why don't they advertise like Disney do, i.e. temple of peril is sponsored by esso but this does not mean that everything has esso on in huge wording, it means it has esso on the petrol tanks of theming around the queue line! Something...

    Merlin Entertainments on BBC watchdog

    I think its fair to charge for VIP parking and during special events, because of the capacity the parks have to face but to charge upto £6 a day is not really fair, but I do see where the money goes at Alton unlike Chessington and thorpe park both of which are just gravel/grass pits with little...

    Merlin Entertainments on BBC watchdog

    Merlin were on watchdog tonight about there car parking charges, Merlin claim the charge is to encourage people to travel by other means of transport! I think thats just rubbish coming out of Merlins mouth, its incredibly hard to go to a theme park with other means of transport besides a car...

    Colossus

    Shame thorpe park went for the record rather than an 'excelent' ride, the production coaster package has two helix turns where the heartline twists are, instead thorpe park went for a very uncomfortable 4/5 twists! It has only been in the past few years that I have began to like colossus though...

    Formula 1™ Topic

    Fantastic drive Lewis, that is how you overtake when you need too! Big congrats to Webber, I am still baffled by how he came from 18th to 3rd!? For the first time we have seen Vettel work for his supper, and it was sweet to see! They were right to but the DRS activation half way down the...

    Formula 1™ Topic

    Q2 was the most exciting qualifying that I have seen for a long time, but how is Vettel so quick? Webber is a rival but I felt so sorry for him today, knocked out in Q1 that is bad for anyone!

    What's new at Chessington for 2011?

    Peep ''Oh and another little update for this season, I noticed the signage on the annual pass day but they've just opened up the shutter. In Forbidden Kingdom there is a new show area for African Drumming. Doesn't seem to be any indication of when shows will be on or when it'll even be starting...

    What's new at Chessington for 2011?

    I had no idea it started last year I knew the height had been increased but not this hassle with adults at the end of the row! It does seem to be health and safety gone mad, they havnt had anyone fall out of it yet I doubt they will get one now (touch wood) I also noticed alot of theming has...
