So so this might be the first ride ever that was deliberately delayed ?

I'm pretty sure Rise of the Resistance is being delayed more than it needs to be. I may just be cynical, but I'm convinced the opening is delayed to make more money when it does, creating another grand opening kinda thing.

I've translated the 80kph in the tweet and it's 49.71mph. Same speed as Euromir at Europa Park, but it's a tiny bit slower than Time Traveler. Either one could be best for the park, but I'm expecting something similar or containing elements from Euromir, rather than Time Traveler (but I want the newer gen spinning coaster for families and a launch or two aha, cause it fills that launch coaster void too)

I thought this Tweet hinted heavily at a Sierra Sidewinder clone, though?
Or rather, could it merely be referencing a current MACK Rides Spinning Coaster, Sierra Sidewinder? I'd lean on it being more the former reason than the latter one, as that layout would fit the primary target demographic of Paulton's Park - families with children up to age 12.

Yh that's true. Maybe it's similar layout to Sierra but not a clone, just to up the speed on Storm Mac - or whatever it's gonna be called ?

That's the same speed as the first launch on Icon and only 0.3mph slower than Nemesis, so 80kph certainly isn't slow!

Absolutely! So it could be a family Time Traveler...cause it's the same as Icon...the launch!

From looking further into Family Mack Spinners, I think the reference to Sierra Sidewinder could be to point out this is the train design rather than a Cobra's Curse style train and that it's a family layout - but it could still be to say it's a clone.

All forums are the same
my two other forums i'm part of hate youtubers who do the same hobby. I wonder why?

New tweets!
I'm not sure what these mean. Maybe they're trying to suggest the 80 km/h is unrelated to the coaster. Also a few recent tweets are now suggesting the opening date of Buffalo Falls has been reverted to 21st June which is less than a week away. The ride looks ready for opening so I guess it's a matter of when the park want to reopen it.

Big twister approaching from the east could just be confirming that the cred is coming from Germany i.e. Mack? Or it could all just be stuff to wind up enthusiasts and means nothing
Edit: Though looking at a map, Vekoma is a lot more directly East than Mack are!

Do Vekoma make gyroswings?

Hi guys ?, this is my first time posting something. I personally think that ‘Storm Chaser’ will be an X-Treme Spinner with a lift hill as shown on the borders surrounding the construction site.

I can't wait for them to formally announce that it's a SS clone so all the whistful speculation can stop.

Welcome @RollerKoaster! I personally think that a family Mack spinner a la Sierra Sidewinder is probably better suited to Paultons as a park and seems like the more obvious option for them, but in my opinion, it's always great to dream big! I'm unsure of the likelihood of an XTREME Spinning Coaster coming, but it certainly isn't out of the question! Paultons might well be testing the water for something slightly more thrilling than their current crop of coasters; they are building a frisbee in this area after all, and frisbees are certainly no kiddie rides!
Also, if there's one thing I've learned about UK parks, it's that they have the ability to surprise in a multitude of ways! For example:

- I would never have guessed that Flamingo Land was going to build a 10-inversion Intamin, but they're awaiting planning permission to build one for 2020.
- I would never have guessed that Blackpool Pleasure Beach was going to build a Mack launch coaster, but they built Icon in 2018.
- If we're staying within Paultons, I certainly wouldn't have anticipated the park to expand at the rate it has been had I been in the enthusiast community a decade or so ago.

Hi
. The borders say otherwise... (I’m not causing an argument and I do not wish to sorry if it’s coming across that way it’s probably not but anxiety is annoying so yeah )

I personally think, from what they have hinted, we will be seeing a family spinning coaster but the most thrilling version of one to date. I’m not saying it will be custom as it could be a new model like Velociraptor was.
