Merlin Entertainments seem to specify OTSRs on their coasters. I would not be surprised if they ask the manufacturer (highly likely to be mack) to add over the shoulder to the trains. I think the twist on the drop will take away from it to be honest. All the hypers+ I've done a twist on the...

The ride isn't really long enough for another block. It could have another one on the brake run but that would mean a train would nearly always be stacking. My initial guess would be a throughput around 1000pph which is the same ballpark as the other coasters in the park. However that is...

The way planning works for Alton is different to Thorpe and CWoA. Alton falls under a general development order so making changes is easier. There is little point in a consultation if your planning application is going to be wildly different. You show off what the client is wanting to build...

First off that ride layout isnt going to change in any major way. Its an S3 drawing so "for review/comment" next is s4 stage approval. Almost no changes should be happening from now other than to accommodate feedback from the consultation and minor engineering changes. Second the ride layout...

I don't think anyone is unhappy they are getting a hyper coaster. The issue lies with the ride being way too short and not focusing on what the park needs which is a pure airtime machine. Personally im rather critical of the ride for various reasons but just because I am being critical does...

I am aware its unlikely to actually touch the water hence "splash down". More what im getting at is that id be very surprised if that section doesn't have trims of some kind.
