    Alton Towers | The Smiler | Gerstlauer Infinity

    Re: New "world-first" coaster at Alton Towers 2013 If we look closely children, we can see that the "plan" views of the ride 'seem' to be Intamin or Gerstlauer, but the shot of the spider scenery thing would suggest a B&M or Maurer (X Train). Now we have the few most likely manufacturers we can...

    Rhyl Sky Tower to Close for Good?

    I used to try and spot how many little brats were going to drown, as their chav parents stood there drinking, and ignoring their spawn. I liked the smell of rats, and old beer on board, I'll admit now that I used to be **** scared of this ride, especially when it creaked, and then...

    Alton Towers | The Smiler | Gerstlauer Infinity

    No not really, that's just as good as saying that i think that its going to be blue, red or green, you havent in any way tried to validate your point, which makes it as good as spamming... if your going to post at least try to be relevent and clear, otherwise if you can't be bothered...

    Best Theme Park Firework Display

    Epcot is by far the best one that i have seen, for me its more the fact that they do it EVERY night, which is even more impressive, PortAdventura's were very good, I also enjoyed Altons 2010 Ultimate Firework display, i quite enjoyed it (the fireworks were better than Th13teen the ride, and...

    Alton Towers | The Smiler | Gerstlauer Infinity

    Please elaborate, can we have a little more "meat" than "i think it'll be intamin" Why do you think this?, what are the reasons that brought you to think this? and what would back up your point to make it valid! For example, I think the coaster manufacturer is likely to be B&M because...

    What if a Car Manufacter got into making Roller Coasters??

    Or they would just mass produce crap, *cough* Vekoma *cough*, In short, no i do not think it would be cool, or that any car manufacturer would be even the slightest bit interested in starting rollercoaster design or manufacture,

    Alton Towers | The Smiler | Gerstlauer Infinity

    It makes you think though, when you look at a diagram like the one above you realize actually how small and tidy of a footprint Alton actually is, i mean there's at leat 60% unused land that's in Alton's control on that picture, but the problem being is that 90% is listed, what a conundrum...

    @ theyoungentrepreneur, what a name to be pricing up coasters, please invite me if you get a B&M in your back garden !!!, Prices, Gavin has given you a pretty accurate representation of the cost to build a coaster, but to maintain, you're talking, - monthly light grease on the chain and...

    Have Height Restrictions Increased in the Past Few Years?

    Ah, I do apologize, i was trying to use posh words again :shock:, I meant not important or not relevent, not that they don't exist or are redundant in any way again i do apologize, but my point stands that if you are an adult of a certain age and/or height it shouldn't matter if the...
