The trains will feature a light package and on-ride audio.
Also, I too do not believe the 80kph figure. All the concept videos showed 100kph. "+100kph" is even spray painted on the ground at the start of where Launch 1 will be. I believe in a few months time we will see another announcement for the name, theme and improved top speed.
Not that I have any reason to not believe you you but why would they announce the ride with a slower speed than they plan to deliver?

Chris Brown said:Anyone know if parks get any input on the launch speed once the project has been handed over? Like is it something the engineers can variate by say 10mph to account for winds / weather conditions? I know stealth is based on a 3 shot average and is readjusted after every 3 launches, dunno if the macks are similar?
Sandman said:Yeah I don't think the PBE tunnels will be used, they are actually really small as pointed out previously. Also, reading some of the GP's comments on Facebook is highly frustrating.

This is why we can't have nice things. :wink:

Is this par for course in the UK, or is this a reaction to the Smiler accident?Smithy said:And this is why "world first" marketing does so well in this country, people are thick.
Even my local rag shared the pov video on Facebook, although the bulk of the comments are about how they won't go on it.
cjbrandy said:This coaster is going to be an educational service to the British public. The people saying "why isnt dis taller den da Big one it looks borin" need to be taught a lesson, all they know is Merlin's "world firsts". They will get a taste of international quality which will demonstrate how the ride doesn't need to be too tall or fast, have the most 'loops' and it will show that otsrs are unnecessary on most looping coasters because I'm certain most Brits will think that they'll fall out without them.
