    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    I’ve been holding out in regards to posting in here, as quite frankly - I don’t really know where to begin in explaining my thoughts. While I agree it’s great to hear all the speculation floating around and some of the enthusiasm / excitement from many whom have posted already in the thread -...

    Belgium 2021; which of the new coasters do you prefer?

    I’m unable to contribute either, but it will be interesting to see the views of others. @Ian - a live in 2022 with these two and F.L.Y is required….

    Ahhh, that’s a shame! I was hoping to grab the cred before it moved on.

    Apple or Android?

    I’m a simpleton when it comes to tech, so Apple products generally tend to suite me better.

    Hyperion vs Shambhala

    Shambhala by default; purely because I’ve not made it to Poland yet! I’d be quite happy if it could be cloned and dumped at Thorpe Park, or any other UK park for that matter!

    What are your thoughts on going backwards on coasters?

    It’s a big fat no for me! I can’t stand going backward; all the fun and enjoyment is literally sucked out of the ride and it leaves me feeling dizzy and nauseous. I just also note, I’m also unable to tolerate facing backwards on a train / other moving vehicles.

    What do you consider a “good” ride count at a theme park?

    I’d be going home very disappointed if I was only able to get on 5 rides in a visit to a park and I’d probably say that’s not really good value for money. I would say getting on 10 rides / attractions is starting to getting towards being good value from the cost of getting in a park. I don’t...

    Yes it’s got some length, but dear god it’s dull!

    WTF Merlin?

    I completely agree, and it’s the main reason I’m not prepared to organise a visit - when you add it all in, the risk of only getting 6 hours in the park and I don’t feel getting just 6 rides in as good value for money. I’ll just save my money and wait to it’s suitable to head over to Europe.

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

    @Hixee - very true and I have no points to come back at that one! Well - it probably boils down to the fact the UK is seemingly just over complicating it again with a coaster installation which doesn’t need to be anything special or specific - just a crowd pleaser with a semi decent length...

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

    While it’s great to speculate on which manufacture will ultimately win the contract. I can’t help but think B&M might have the upper hand here - yes it’s an odd ball choice for them. But their long term reliability speaks massively- especially for a company like Merlin whom wouldn’t want to be...
