Re: New coaster for Ireland....
Can't believe this, great news :shock: . Finally something decent I don't need to leave the country for.
Well done to the owners if they can get the go ahead, I'll definitely be visiting. Hopefully this is just the start for the park being able to afford larger attractions.

I've had further contact with the park and they're remaining tight lipped about the dark ride.
If only there was a strumpet visiting the park shortly after planning permission is (hopefully) granted who could ask further questions...

Re: New coaster for Ireland....
Just to put this into perspective in terms of visiting the park in a day:-
Flights - £40-50 return
Hire car and fuel - £7.50 (based on 4 to a car)
Park entry - £10 (Cost will no doubt rise when coaster is running)
Airport parking - £4 (based on 4 to a car)
Total - £60-75 + food and drink.
That under £100 for the day. If this coaster is a good as we all hope I've no doubt we'll all be doing this trip on a regular basis. Even the Thorpe fanboys could manage this trip.

Re: New coaster for Ireland....
That length of track/duration of ride thing is almost unbelievable; the ride is 1396m long (assuming by max they mean it will actually be that long), assume about 200m taken up by station, lift and brake run. Then for it to cover the remaining distance in 53 seconds it will have to be travelling at an average of 50.5 mph. Surely that can't be right?
