The one composed by Edvard Greig...

I'm sure that'll definitely: earn voters, create no divide between the middle and lower classes, solve a variety of social problems... :wink: It's just labour being old labour, I'm hardly suprised. However, although yeah its 'only' for whatever you earn over 150,000, you're equally...

That jump up out of the brake run (which I assume is launch assisted by the fins just before it that don't look similar to the brake fins preceeding them) is a bit random... Not that it's not pretty cool. But yeah, Gerstlauer really need to get the lift engagement times on their Eurofighters...

They're not just random. If I remember correctly, they're the actual support numbers that the contractors would have used. I can't remember- I worked it out when I was there a couple of years ago. I think you get things like L07 which would be left hand supports 7 or perhaps lift support 7. I...

Given the chance again, Disney wouldn't opt for 'paradise pier'- rather than totally rebuilding the park, they're having to work with what they've got to try and get the park closer to the normal notions Disney associate with. Should a new park be built, I cannot see this ride ever being...

On the other hand, now DCA is being completely revamped because the management see the entire concept of the old park as flawed and not in-keeping with the Disney values. I point back to my original arguments: without a ridiculous number of block breaks (which are cleverly hidden by the...

I can't really see Florida parks ever adding an accelerator for several reasons: -Reliability: From reports, accelerators seem to be nothing but trouble for a park's maintenance department. TTD, Rita, Stealth, KK and many others had tons of breakdowns in their first years, and these don't...

holy moses, the speed that thing goes up the lift with is RIDICULOUS. Incredible Hulk, anyone? I did always think that the top section looked pretty flat --> slow, but now it all makes alot more sense... I also notice there's two lift chains... presumebly to ease the strain on the...

There's also only so much you can say about a drop, two helices and four hills... hmmm...

Yeah, if you're talking about the quad-rail ness, it isn't really track, the large backbone-lattice supports that track much like a lattice-style bridge.

was colossos running all day? are the rapids back up and running?

OK. We understand. You know something we don't and you're not going to give it away. Good for you. Now could you stop posting this fact every other time somebody posts something. A few pages back I thought you said you weren't going to say anything else until this coaster opened...

is that a zero car at the front(?) ??? if so, the cars are the wrong way round on the track, i swear.

Um. They Are. Firstly, their model is a custom design, and nothing off-the-shelf. Secondly, it is 25 foot taller. Thirdly it is about double the length. Fourthly it is steeper. And it's got a dark ride section, and WAY MORE trains (which cost a fair amount). How is that not bigger and better...

I thought the answer would be pretty obvious to that. It's at Thorpe Park, which is a large park with enough attractions to make a good day out from. Southend... it doesn't even have enough to fill a morning with at the moment. Wales- the volume of people that visit Oakwood is far less than...

Seriously, this is what normal abandoned warehouses look like: http://www.brownstoner.com/brownstoner/ ... lroad.jpeg and you've got this: http://www.thorpeparkguide.com/archives ... b09-10.jpg What is the major complaint?!?!?!?!??! What Thorpe have given us, is (within their budget)...

SAW was put up in 27 days... and this is from the same manufacturer... 3 months... easy.

I doubt it's simply because of Wardley... he hardly themed air... at all. I feel this is more the Merlin take on things.

Guys, we're going round in circles. If you're going to post, can we at least make sure we've read the last few pages of the topic at least... The point above has now been made about 5 times. Let's stop repeating useless stuff just to increase our post counts. The more I look, the...

Good points, but equally, there is something world's first about this ride, and, if I were an amusement operator, I'd not employ a company who have just mucked up a primitive bit of new technology. Also, it may or may not be relevant, but Premier have not really (apart from Vonkaputous)...
