    Thorpe Park: What could the future hold?

    What everyone is forgetting is that Thorpe’s last 2 major investments weren’t that successful considering the price, so it might still be some time until we see another large investment. Also, while it isn’t the most popular, DBGT was a large investment, and at the time that is what many...

    Possible new ride/rollercoaster coming to Thorpe Park in 2019

    The park have said that while it is in their long term plan for Logger’s area to be redeveloped, it is not their primary concern. Also for now we shouldn’t be seeing any announcement for a new ride, as they are more focussed on the special experiences available for the park’s 40th anniversary...

    Most polarising roller coasters

    I’m surprised Skyrush hasn’t been mentioned already, some people love it for its intensity and extreme ejector, while some people can’t get over the restraints, and it ruins the ride for them. Also recently Nemesis has become quite polarising, it still has its fanboys, however recently some...

    Wuxi Sunac Land | Soaring With Eagle | B&M Wing Coaster/Mack Blue Fire Clone

    Just found some photos showing the beautiful theming of the park: Source: https://m.weibo.cn/status/4323267026418488 This easily looks like one of the best themed parks in the world, Wanda never fails to impress.

    POVs that do not do justice to the ride - at all

    I would have to say Karnan, from the POVs it looks quite boring and tamed compared to the insane ride that it actually provides. The POVs of it just don’t seem to capture the strong and unique airtime of the ride and the ridiculously snappy transitions.

    Possible new ride/rollercoaster coming to Thorpe Park in 2019

    Just found this on Instagram. Take it with a grain of salt, but it still could be some indication for a new coaster.

    Walibi Holland | Untamed | RMC Robin Hood Conversion

    Schilke said that he doesn’t want to make vertical loops because he believes that they are overused and are not dynamic enough. I do think that a vertical loop could work on a Raptor though, but definitely not an I-Box or Topper Track.

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Iron Gwazi | RMC Gwazi | 2022

    It probably isn’t possible because of the compact layout, as if it’s going at around 70mph, then it would probably hit 6/7gs in many of the turns. I would say the limit for the height would probably be 150ft, but anything much more than that is probably impossible.

    Walibi Holland | Untamed | RMC Robin Hood Conversion

    I do understand why some people would be slightly annoyed there seeming to be more of a focus on inversions instead of airtime, but I trust RMC to make sure the ride still has a lot of variety and doesn’t feel repetitive. Also I’m sure that they can still cram quite a few airtime hills in...

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Iron Gwazi | RMC Gwazi | 2022

    I honestly don’t see this happening, they would have to add so much structure and most of the existing structure is way too small to be able to accommodate for such a large coaster. While the leaked stats would make for a great ride, I just doubt that it is possible.

    Hyperion vs Lech Coaster

    I’ve only ridden Hyperion, but honestly I think I’d prefer Lech. Lech just seems to have that insane intensity which I love, while Hyperion feels slightly more controlled, and the airtime while it is great, isn’t insanely strong or violent. Also I loved Formula, almost as much as Hyperion, so...

    Nagashima Spa Land | Hakugei | RMC I-Box Conversion of White Cyclone

    That drop looks insane, the small hill before the drop looks much smaller than Wildfires, and seems like it will provide some insane ejector. I know some parts of the layout might be slightly dissapointing, especially as this ride is succeeding Steel Vengeance, but this drop definitely has...

    American Dream | New Jersey USA | Mega Mall/Nickelodeon Theme Park

    Actually, you’re probably right, it’s just wierd how similar the Mack compact extreme spinning coaster’s layout is to this intamin. Also is it just me or do the newer intamins have a thinner spine than before.

    American Dream | New Jersey USA | Mega Mall/Nickelodeon Theme Park

    Is it confirmed that the blue coaster is intamin, as it seems like a Mack coaster, bearings similarities to their extreme spinning coaster. Contrary to my usual opinion, I would rather it be a Mack, just because it had the potential to be spinning and will probably have better hang time.

    Taron vs Maverick

    I have only ridden Taron, and it is a fun ride but nothing mind blowing. Maverick seems like more of my style of ride, with it looking to be slightly more aggressive, but I guess I’ll have to wait for summer to see which one I actually prefer.

    Top 10(ish): 2024 Edition - page 124

    If you enjoyed the ride so much, you should keep it as your number one. Many enthusiasts haven’t ridden some of their favourite coasters in years, especially ones they rode on long haul trips. I would just say keep it as your number one.

    Ridiculous Coaster Trains

    I'm surprised the trains for Plohseidon at Freizeitpark Plohn haven't been mentioned yet, they are definitely some of the strangest trains out there. https://rcdb.com/9120.htm

    Most Temperamental Coasters

    Some coasters can change a lot over time, however there are some coasters which you could ride one week, and the next week the experience will be completely different. For you what are these coasters? For me Hyperion is definitely up there, the first day I rode it, it was quite slow and very...
