    "Car Park Coasters"

    The car park is in no stretch of the imagination going to be a substitue for piling and correct foundation arrangments. Everything from the type of Concrete to the depth is completely different. To build a coaster you would have to take out the previous base/hardcore/sand and dig some proper...

    GordonRides LLC (Anybody notice this before?)

    Darn someone beat me to the vekoma joke :) Those ideas look very poorly illustrated, if i were a theme park bigwig looking for a new ride i would not consider this company's aproach very proffesional. It seems almost like somebody with aspurges has taken thier obsession to a "frank avegnale"...

    Colossus

    Always good to see another diabetic coaster enthusiast, but not in a sadistic way you must understand. I do not rate collossuss, the worlds first "brail" coaster, readable through touch. I find it peters out after the cobra roll and the heartline rolls just seem like a pathetic (but...

    Other Coaster Communities

    Towerstimes and here mainly. Not somebody who attends meetups, i do not go very often so i usually sprint round the park to whore as many rides as possible thus leaving little time for eluquent conversation :wink: Although i must compliment Coasterforce in particular with regards to the...

    what type of engineering for roller coasters?

    ^^ thanks for that UC, i imagined this would happen if i ever manage get a job in maintenace but i really do enjoy watching, learning about and maintaining things. I can see why it could happen if you are surrounded by the subject of work in your spare time, it could easily become tiresome. I...

    Thorpe Park |"The Swarm"| B&M Wing Coaster

    No way, really, a fake report to do with a british theme park ride.... blasphemy i proclaim!!. I think it could work, so long as they have a peice of theming in which a person gets "diced" by a CFM65 jet engine!

    Roller Coaster Tycoon theme-park

    "I want to get off...." go figure :wink: To be fair i would be jizzing all day if there was hypothectically a RCT Park, i would only walk at right angles and only buy an on-ride photo if it was priced below £4:20. You are porbably right in saying there isn't really a market for it but the...

    Roller Coaster Tycoon theme-park

    I have always thought it would be an interesting idea to have a theme park or themed area which is built to resemble the popular series, Roller Coaster Tycoon. You could have all the scenery bits as they are in the game, the park entrance like it is in the game and maybe even go as far as having...

    Water splashes

    Well i agree with what point i feel is coming across here, a splash feature straight after the first drop!. It seems like a waste of potential energy (although probably not as much as i state) I mean here in the UK we do not usually have ample height to play with so most designs make good usage...

    waterparks?

    I think our main problem in the UK is that any waterparks built need to be indoors, costing money. Its a crying shame that there aren't more waterparks in this country, the center parks ones look fairly good but there is no "best park" they are all pretty rubbish. It begs the question, why...

    Texas Giant opening date confirmed

    Now thats what i call a revolution! looks fantastic, i agree that this thing looks very exciting and perhaps it will make a top ten :) I wonder what lessons they have learned during the hybrid-ing process that they could use on a design from scratch? Note to argument: Stop being Noooooooobs

    Beyond a drop

    Wow i look at afterburner and i wouldn't normally post but,.. What an absolute criminal waste of potential energy :evil: I personally class an "inversion" as when you upside is below your down side, even by a small margin. (by my logic oblivion has 1 inversion :)) But the official defenition...

    Intamin

    Intamin's problem with the restrains was due to the ride operator letting a very disproportioned man ride SROS. He fell out because his proportions were similar to that of a little tikes or, peter griffin. They now have seatbelts installed and i think they also changed the restraints. That...

    Ferrari Park in Abu Dhabi

    Huh kind of looks like a mirror image of RITA, except a bit different and enormous. I really cant imagine this coaster being boring, the launch would make me cry for a start, i can see where your coming from though. The layout seems* a bit forceless. And this thing about coasters next to the...

    waterparks?

    I am a Waterpark enthusiast!, i love them, i just wish there was a proper enthusiast site for waterparks. Themeing, i love an immersive expirience. I would love to open up a park with caves, terraced hot pools and unique slides etc. I think a waterpark should be a thing of beuty, not...
