    I was thinking this morning, could we be seeing another 1994 in the UK in 2018. SW8 will be making is debut this year. Pleasure Beach have the Mack multi launch. I have read that Drayton could be looking at a Thrill coaster for 2018. Also seen that Flamingo Lands next coaster could also be 2018...

    Efteling | Baron 1898 | B&M Dive Coaster

    Are you joking me? A lapbar on a floorless coaster would simply be over head lap bars such as sky rush. Not exactly difficult, though B&M OTSR are fine. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

    Alton Towers | The Smiler | Gerstlauer Infinity

    Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 Remember though this could "possibly" have a new train design, so you really can't judge how the strange track segments will ride.

    Busch Gardens Williamsburg |"Verbolten"| Multi-Launch Zierer

    Re: Busch Gardens Williamsburg |"Verbolten"| Multi-Launch Zi OK I can give you the answer on how Thirteens drop works. It is 100% Freefall, when the "fake drop" happens, the track is dropping into the mechanism (which releases for the full drop). The huge hydraulic arm that is below the drop...
