Re: Thorpe Park construction?
On the video you directed me to, he only says that the stand-up idea was his FAVOURITE, NOT that it was 'what the Smiler was originally going to be'. There were numerous plans for different concepts - and they picked the Smiler.
Anyway, it would be nice if it turns out to be a B&M hyper, however.....if the ceiling height is currently 50m, what would the marketing gimmick be? There has to be one.....

I'd prefer a hyper but any B+M would do me tbh.
Wardley wanted a stand up in Katanga Canyon which is what The Smiler was originally going to be. He wanted a stand up because he doesn't think that B&M floorless coasters are very exciting.
