If they weren't now considered reliable within the industry I highly doubt Universal would be continuously working with them.

I’m fully on the gate hype. No sarcasm at all. Paultons could have easily designed this image with no horizontal supports on the gate, no one would have bat an eyelid. They could have designed the image to have wooden horizontal supports, again, no one would have bat an eyelid. They had complete...

Get out of here with this logic… Anyway, I’m pretty certain I remember Lawrence Mancey saying his favourite cred was Wodan at Europa at the super fans event. Slam dunk if you ask me.

Those wooden gates with the metal rails running through are absolutely screaming wooden coaster!

Weirdly excited by this. I made a thread a while ago about this place, I've always been confused why a city park, with good attendance, a great selection of supporting rides was reliant on a cronky old SLC as it staple attraction. I think I came to the conclusion the park was landlocked, had...

I think Paultons are going to really focus on rides that a family can experience together. I dont think they'd like the 1 row nature of single rails because of this. My predications are; Water Ride : a rapids ride similar to Dolina Jagi at Legandia or a small intamin modern log flume, ala...

I do wonder how much this has damaged Mack's reputation in the industry, It has to have had an impact.

Sounds like an annoying day, very easy to have at Chessington. I have a lot of nostalgia for the place and love feel of the park in places, people on here will have heard me yapping on about the Gruffalo / Vampire courtyard. However, it does suffer massively if any of the bigger rides are down...

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. It kept going down during the Live on sunday and the following empty trains would crawl over the outerbank.

When ever I see POV's I can only think of this. The original single rail!

I’ve got a reliable source, Contractor that worked as part of the hyperia project team, and they’ve said the problems are a mixture of issues with the chain, the lift motor and a sprocket at the top of the lift hill. In the closed season there needs to be pretty extensive work to the lift hill...

Taken from the Green Party website - 'The Green Party wants to see a world without borders, until this happens the Green Party will implement a fair and humane system of managed immigration where people can move if they wish to do so' 'To build a world in which no one needs to seek asylum...

I'll be voting labour. I'm a lefty through and through and whilst its sad to see the current labour crop heading much more centrist there's still a bit of me that hopes it's just a strategy to appease the masses pre election, and they'll move back to the left once in power. Starting to doubt...

I wouldn't rule out Gravity Group. They offer 'hybrid' coasters and inversions. There's definitely a concrete link to the park as well, GG have provided tenders / proposals for the park previously. Something akin to Switchback at ZDT's with an inversion or launch thrown in would be my punt.

I managed 3 rides last night. Two in the back, one in the front. Easily best ride in the UK for me, the airtime, huge elements, first drop and lapbars just offer something we've not really had over here before. Its a bit short, and it doesnt really feel like a hyper coaster, but all the elements...

Genuinely had no idea! Thanks

Having seen a few IP / Theme predictions floating around I wanted to put my thoughts into a post. Potentially controversial, but I think the over utilisation of British themes would be a mistake. (Potter excluded). I worry about how us Brits would receive something that could be considered a...

Count me in, will be nice to go later in the season without the cred anxiety, inevitable teething problems and all round stress!

If they’re gonna bring back ripsaw in any form the logical thing would be to go all out and get an ABC tourbillon. The marketability would be so good.

Thorpe are still running the park hours Oktoberfest where people can have beer, pretzels and roller coasters zooming in the background though. This is just Thorpe tapping into a huge potential revenue stream utilising their abundance of space and social reach to create non park / ride reliant...
