I take it there is only me that would actually prefer Knightmare to the intamin multi-looper? At least Knightmare is unique the intamin on the other hand is just another off the shelf ride for the off the shelf park.

Knightmare is dead.
The bit of the station approach track has been removed for at least a year.
And as we all know, it is destined for Southport.
Absolutely.

Southport is expanding at the moment, i just hope it goes somewhere before its too late. Honestly i think it would be a top 5 coaster in the uk due to its uniqueness and intensity.

It is already too late.
It was a second hand ride to begin with, and has rotted for years since closing, with zero maintenance.
It also just wasn't that good, not even in my UK top twenty.

Oh yeah I know it's well and truly dead. I drive past the thing twice a day.. I'm just saying theoretically I know what I'd prefer..

Those photos make me so sad. Knightmare was my first major coaster!

 

[Niles]

Its a shame to know it’s just sat there rotting, even if it’s not the best coaster for a lot of parks in the UK it would be there top.

Hopefully I can get on it in the future :emoji_fingers_crossed:

I'm gonna be a wannabe mod Can we get back on topic please? We have a designated thread on Knightmare here:-

It's very unlikely it's coming to Flamingoland so we probably don't need to post any more stuff about it in this thread, for now at least.

What would be the chances on Thorpe getting hold of those trains? It was almost unbearable yesterday, the lap bars would make a world of difference to it.

(Weirdly, Saw was running really fast and gave sustained floater...)

 

[JoshC.]

None.

There would still be a large amount of modifications required to the ride for new trains to work (assuming the new style trains have the exact same specifications as the old trains and could fit on the track without issues in the first place), and so would require a large amount of money.

So the level of investment required to put new trains in would probably justify Thorpe just going straight to Intamin for the trains.

Equally, don't know how keen anyone would be to sell trains and not track, since it's still in good nick but would be essentially useless.

 

[Tonkso]

That's a fair point, they need to do something though, it's getting worse year on year and eventually people are going to stop riding.

Are they though? It continues to pull large crowds, and honestly, I don't think 90% of Thorpe Park's clientele even notice roughness on it. People have always loved Saw and that thing rides like a wagon with square wheels.

I thought Colossus was allegedly smoother after they changed the wheels last year?
