Interestingly when the idea of the launched spinner was put to the Great Adventure passholders a height of 400 feet was touted. But when the idea was put to the Cedar Point passholders the text said 200 feet (as in the screenshot on page 8).

A B&M hyper wouldn't have made anyone, internationally, turn their heads. Any praise it received would be attributed to the UK being starved of good coasters and airtime. Meanwhile Hyperia, at least a little bit, made all US enthusiasts jealous. It pushes boundaries and produces extreme...

Went on a trip to Belgium, Netherlands and Germany (with CoasterBreaks) and managed to collect up some incredible credits along the way. Thought I'd give the best ones some reviews. Background: used to be a thorpe park fan about 20 years ago, and was fairly active on coasterforce then, aged...

Nothing says Britain more than a ugly concrete trough spraying rusty water in the air.

This is my favourite "back row" POV. I think it's actually row 9 but it shows the first drop and airtime really well. I finally got my first 4 rides on Hyperia last Friday. It absolutely blew me away. The first drop terrifies me tbh, in a good way. And the outer-bank is a little bit mind...

It makes sense that they seem to be running about a day behind schedule. Thus Sunday or Monday. It makes sense that they would want to announce that Saturday is not happening before it begins to test, to avoid false hope. But it also makes sense that they're going to need to re-inspect after...

Saw's planned closure (due to the crane for Hyperia) has been extended to tomorrow also

Lol it does seem quite amazing how someone who gets paid to report facts got the only facts in that article so badly wrong. How is it actually possible, anywhere on the internet, to get the impression that TT2 is the tallest coaster in the world? It almost seems like they do it on purpose to...

Why would a corporation have corporate values... Well... Ah yes because its a way of pretending you're responding to your critics. Your hospital isn't safe. Yes it is we're "safe, kind and excellent". Your theme park isn't transparent. Yes it is we're "transparent". Your corporation treats...

A new part has arrived, (but it may be unrelated) Final bit of YT-hunting, compare the lift-hill sounds at 0:40 to the sound at 2:50 🤔

I don't mind that the video contains no new information, it's the fact that it celebrates the opening day for more than 50% of the video that is mildly annoying. But yeah it's what I'd expect. I don't think there's really any way you can positively spin this situation. One of the YT comments...

The weather on Saturday morning was not exceptional. This is not a weather conditions problem. Moreover guests should not be so unpredictable that they break a £18M ride on its first day. I do get that it happens. But if I bought something for millions of pounds and then it broke within a...

Disappointingly next week was going to be the last quiet week til September! I was thinking this during the testing phase. I was at Thorpe Park 3 times after it's first test and only saw it go round twice in that time. I thought surely they should be running it more (especially given what we...

There goes my stag do ☹️

at the risk of sounding like a massive twat: The discussion about length is not interesting. People are coming to this thread for up-to-date info not a debate that could have been had years ago by people who haven't ridden it.

Hm, debatable. Anyway, let's not... derail... the thread too much. The real answer why there are less naysayers for Universal is because it affects far less people.

EWR negatively affects far more people and represents massive government, tax-funded (rather than commercial) investment with questionable benefit (a road would be more useful).

My take is it's more of a society-issue that a Merlin-issue. I honestly feel like at this point in society, it's pretty much impossible to get the masses to care about anything.

That's outrageous! I genuinely cannot believe that in a month we will be able to experience ejector airtime, while upside down, in a lap bar, while ~150 ft in the air.... in the UK. Huge.
