    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    The top speed is "over 80mph" according to the promos - the official Twitter/X account confirmed it would be 81mph, barely faster than Stealth but still technically faster. https://x.com/thorpepark/status/1691886734743597058?s=61&t=ZL158zj7XG6NoejD7Nd9HA

    CWOA | Mandrill Mayhem (World of Jumanji) | B&M Wing Coaster | 2023

    Perhaps even something similar to Ice Breaker? Family-oriented but still thrilling and could be advertised as the first "swing launch" in the UK unless I'm forgetting one.

    Kent, England | The London Resort | Entertainment Complex

    It also means that the project is far more separated from the other Paramount Park projects (based on the Kunming ride list) and the previously announced lands were placeholders (The Woods, The Isles, etc). Is it possible both the family coaster and the flying multi launch are intended to be...

    Kent, England | The London Resort | Entertainment Complex

    Purely using the plans as a guide to rides (though I'm assuming layouts are placeholders for now), I can see potentially 5 roller coasters and 3 water rides in the Gate 1 area and another 3 roller coasters in the Gate 2 area - let's hope they're good ones!

    Kent, England | The London Resort | Entertainment Complex

    I'm doubtful that the list is complete at this point - it's definitely plausible that these manufacturers are involved, or possibly were at least in talks at various stages since 2012, but I'm fully expecting more to be added assuming the project actually materializes (definitely holding out...

    Universal's Epic Universe | Orlando USA | Theme Park

    I'm wondering if the light trails on the dueling coaster are just to highlight the ride on the concept art or if we're possibly looking at a KCL lighting package like HangTime?

    Universal's Epic Universe | Orlando USA | Theme Park

    Universal also have the trademark to "Epic Universe" - based on the imagery and wording in that teaser, perhaps that's what they've gone with.

    Kent, England | The London Resort | Entertainment Complex

    Small update: - Deal signed for a ferry-based transport service down the Thames - Estimated opening date pushed back again to 2023 - Take with the biggest pinch of salt you can manage, mutterings around the internet that NBC Universal are in talks (seems to have come out of nowhere though)...

    Thorpe Park | Derren Brown's Ghost Train | VR Attraction

    Re: WC16 | Thorpe Park | New ??? for 2016 From the sound of it, the train carriage seems to be the big motion-based part of it - I'm expecting a sort of suspended simulator where you board from the second level and put on the VR goggles (gas masks?). From there, the whole train car could shake...
