  1. Could the members' signatures be put back on their posts? Or where they removed because of the new skin. (Which looks excellent might I add, kudos to you, Phill!)

    Hmmmmmm..... both very sticky Golden SyrupSamsung or LG?
  3. Jigsaw may give the riders set 'challenges' to complete in the rooms, like avoiding a buzzsaw for example, but of course, you'd only come in close contact with the saw and narrowly miss it. Just a thought...

    Is it just me or are the clouds in my avatar fake? Because they don't half look it.
  5. It seems that the Sawmill is being constructed in a way that proposes there'll be many different rooms or chambers for the car to pass through, maybe Jigsaw is waiting with a different 'challenge' in each room?

  7. He should say his iconic phrase on the break run - 'Hello, I want to play a game', than you should speed round the corner and into the Sawmill again, just an idea though. But Thorpe and Liondgate Films are both claiming that they are making the queuline experience themed enough to build queuers aprehension and excitment for the ride even more than the ride's themeing.

    Your Thorpe Park

    Ahh, but where would get the space for a B&M Mega-Looper like Kumba, Medusa or Kraken? And each of them have 7 inversions, not 8. Just leave it at the fact that Thorpe won't move Colossus for years yet, as I said, a bit of TLC and train refurbishment would do it the world of good.

    Your Thorpe Park

    Some good ideas but...2009) Wouldn't really fit anymore, a Flyer would probably go in Neptune's Kingdom flying over it, or on future land infills.2010) Thorpe's height ceiling is around 100ft, but Runnymede was lenient for rides like Slammer, Detonator, and Stealth.2011) Alton Towers and Chessington both have Top-Spins (Rameses Revenge and Ripsaw) so it would be pointless for Thorpe to get one.2015) It would be hard to heavily advertise a Mine-Train as they're family coasters, although I don't object to Thorpe getting one as they are very easy to theme well.2015) I wouldn't build a new ride, but a bigger, larger capacity stadium instead.2016) I don't think Thorpe would stay open quite that late and they wouldn't get rid of HellGate because its the only maze with a real storyline.2018) The X:\No Way Out and Stadium spots and wouldn't stay empty for 2 to 3 years. Any coaster with less than 6-7 inversions would be an insult to Colossus' memory (I say don't get rid of it, it just needs a little TLC, that's all).
  11. I love how Jigsaw claims in every task that - 'All you have to do is....', I mean, your cutting off your leg! What a lackadaisical way of putting it? - All you have to do is hack through your leg? Oh yeah, I can spare one of those any day, here, why not take two more?

  13. Lord knows, probably just to gain some height and speed ready for the next dive into the sawmill, so it can get through the Zero-G Roll. There'll probably be some themeing to look at while your slowly going upwards, like a TV flickering with Jigsaw on it , blood-spattered spikes, a manner of torture weapons, or amputated body parts.

    Music

    Michael Jackson - Black or White/Smooth Criminal :)Epic songs...
  16. I agree - its nice to see Thorpe getting their priorities in order.
  17. Awwww, the pre-lift track is slowly disappearing.... Say Bye Bye
  18. Just to clarify, as it has been said elsewhere, but only very vaguely - Thorpe will still have the record for the steepest freefall drop in the world, and no doubt they'll advertise this to buggery. I know that we're not sure if Flamingoland's El Loco will have holding breaks at the top of the drop, but use your initiative; Steek Hawg - 96ft, 120 degree drop, and it has holding breaks; Flamingoland's new El Loco - 120ft, 125 degree drop, its looking likely to actually need holding breaks.
  19. Eurgh, it sounds like you lot had so much fun! grrrr! Its not fair I had course work analysing every Earthquake in the last week and it took me all weekend bar about 6 hours to do :'(. Might make it to the next Meet-Up *crosses fingers*

    Manual, Flute or Recorder?
  22. The previous '4th inversion' was actually the 3rd in the original layout, it was an Overbanked Turn, which was the element after and before two sets a MCBR's. After Thorpe revised the layout, the first MCBR was replaced with the Air-Time Hill, and the Overbanked Turn was replaced by the upper-banked curve which leads onto the existing MCBR after exiting the Air-Time Hill.The track could actually have been feasible if Thorpe replaced the original layout's first MCBR with an Air-Time Hill that went over the second set, with an Overbanked Turn inbetween. So after the Overbanked Turn the car would go onto the 'second' MCBR and into the Dive Loop.
  23. Detonator is actually 115ft, but the new coaster is little over 100ft, by about 2 inches... Anyway you look at it, it makes it taller than Colossus and Nemesis Inferno.
