I don't get the relevance of this? Why didn't you just finish the POV then look at the forum? :lol:
 
But this forum will still be here, the coaster will still not be constructed after 3 minutes of video :lol:

It's one of my closest parks, too. But, I'd rather watch a POV of Helix than look at another post on a topic that nothing new is coming to play.
 
This is what I don't get? You post utter **** and then have a passive-aggressive comment back. Surely you've been on here enough now to know that the posts aren't contributing and you're being pulled up on the same things again and again? Come on, it doesn't take a lot to just start to change your posting style and actually try to contribute.
 
Look, ok. I have nothing better to do, and when no-ones doing anything interesting on this site, I will post something random on one of my favourite topics. (Obviously not completely random). That is just how I function...
 
Could that be the dullest interview ever? also - the closed caption guy did an awful job - nickelodeon land = including land and 2018 = 2008 team??

Yeah, this will not be 'one of the most exciting rides on the planet', just no. If I was Nick, I'd be pushing it to be named 'the UK's most exciting' etc., it's not gonna come close to Helix or Taron in terms of intensity, experience or excitement.

You don't know this for a fact though do you? I'm sure if you loaded a crappy nl2 video of those two almost 18 months before opening it would be the same! You harp on at ati for posting crap yet you yourself have just compared two fully built and operational rollercoasters to a no limits video bravo

It's true though, the layout looks fun but it's not the second coming of Jesus like people here were making it out to be. I'm sure it'll be a solid coaster, but anything on Helix or Taron? I doubt it will be.

As for ATI, just ignore him. I'm sure he'll get banned sooner or later for sheer dullness.

Actually, yes I do.

The speed of the coaster is reputedly 49.7mph into an 88ft airtime hill, I'm gonna use the term 'airtime' loosely as I can absolutely guarantee you'll only receive a slight pop entering and leaving the element - unlike Helix's airtime hills that consist of constant negative G until you transition out of the element.

Helix is so fantastic because of the ground-hugging layout that navigates down the hill, picking up speed in an organic form (minus the two 'boosts'), this mixed with the incredible airtime and really snappy quick transitions. This doesn't have anywhere near the same fluidity with the layout, they're really two completely different coasters.

Taron is so incredible because of the theming and the sheer force, not to mention the second launch (that's nearly 75mph). The second launch on Taron is so so so so powerful and doesn't feel like it's going to stop pushing you, Helix's doesn't have that and neither will this. The reason it works so well is the fact that you slow down ever so slightly before the launch to make it ore impactful and the audio int he area is synched with the train to make you have one last breathing space before kicking in with the second launch. I can absolutely guarantee, this coaster will run like Helix, the second launch is fun, but it doesn't actually feel like a launch - it feels like a slow push to gain momentum again, I can't explain it, it's something you've gotta experience to understand.

So yeah, it'll be great fun but just not on the same level as Helix nor Taron - but it'll still be one of the best coasters in the UK the day it opens.

So, I can 'harp on' all I want, thanks. What he was saying was completely different, he was stating that he had to stop watching a POV to look on a forum at a post? That's completely different from the point I'm trying to make. So let me make a suggestion? Before you try to call a member out on here, and one who actually knows what he's talking about, I suggest that the post actually refers to said said argument in a format that makes sense and isn't just complete rubbish and an obvious misunderstanding like above.

Thanks ;)

LOL Banned for what? I haven't broken any site rules, so as much as you want me to be banned, it's just not gonna happen. And even if I do get banned, I'll just create a new account. So before you continue mouthing off **** about me, make sure to think about it first...

Aye, I'm sure that'll stump the mods. Who have access to your IP address. And wouldn't possibly guess the new poster talking absolute guff and garbage would be you. I'm sure you'd manage to blend in unnoticed just fine.

Besides, what does this have to do with construction 18?

About as much as most of the things you've posted.


I'd be interested if they're planning on having the ride area totally closed off or if they're going to have a plaza/viewing area underneath it where the lake was?
 
Oh have people started with the "YOU WONT KNOW UNTIL YOUVE RIDDEN IT!!!!" when anyone says anything even mildly negative?

Everyone better just stop saying **** anything because we can't know for sure until we've all been on it in every seat in every weather variant several times, right?

No one making predictions knows for a fact, but we don't need to say that every time somone makes one. Predictions based on experience are informed and worthwhile discussion, stop dismissing them because WE CAN'T KNOW FOR SURE OH NOOOOOO.

I think this looks good, but the model of it runs rather slow looking and it feels a bit, meandering? But I would also like to draw attention to how people said Taron was "just" a highly themed family coaster for most of construction.

Oh and can we stop being childish in general? Please?

Going so vastly off topic to have a personal argument is against the forum rules, so is spamming - posting meaninglessly or repetitively in ways which do not further discussion.

Thanks.

THIS.

This is what makes me laugh. The BPB fanboys that are hiding under the surface of this forum will argue that this coaster is going to be the best thing ever - in reality, it'll be a great coaster, but not the best!
 
Considering the launch speeds are quite low for this one (compared with others such as Taron), I'd like to think they are exploring the idea of OBA.
Right now it looks like it'll be good, but definitely not the best coaster ever created, the addition of OBA would make what looks to be a good coaster into a great coaster.

Alternatively a small animatronic before the first launch of 3 people on a stage with Ms Thompson booming at them would suffice.

Okay but

Or, heaven forbid; BPB makes the claim of this being the best roller coaster in the world to boost marketing and ticket sales next year?

Want me to roll the tape from our 2008 interview with Don Helbig sharing that Kings Island has the best steel and wooden roller coaster in the entire world at the dawn of Diamondback's opening? "World's best" is a statement made with many roller coaster openings, as it should be - the park wants people to be excited for their new roller coaster!
