  1. That's true, any more G-Force and abnormally short or thin people could be at risk of permanent damage. Some humans can endure higher but you'd need to go through the R.A.F. Flight Training to make sure you could withstand those higher G's.

    A brilliant idea; I thought of it myself once and couldn't think of a reason why it hadn't been done, until I realised why Vertical Loops can't be accomplished on Flying Coasters - the G-Force would cause the blood to rush to the heads of the riders far too quickly and so could cause fatalities or serious injury.

    But surely in doing this they've stopp something like a third of the original Soak-Zone from getting wet at all now? To me, they look so flimsy they could almost fall over with the next small gust of wind.
  4. Yeah, most times I ride Inferno now-a-days the pumps are turned off, so the waterfall doesn't flow. It was always nice when you flipped over the last corkscrew and then see the water running in the opposite direction with your feet just inches above - it always made it seems like the train was moving much faster.

    It'd be nice but I don't think Thorpe would lower the prices by that much... seriously. And I'm sure even if they did lower the prices that the On-The-Day cost would be higher than the Online cost.Hey, we can all dream though right?

    I noticed... I love Love Game's lyrics too - 'It's complicated and stupid. Got my ass squeezed by sexy cupid. Guess he wants to play, wants to play, and Love Game, a Love Game' yh...But I love this song more: Take That - Said It AllOoooh,When the tears fall away,And there`s no conversation;There's nothing left to break,That's not already broken.You're staring into space,And every inch of silence;Been standing here for days, and days.Said it all.Nothing to say at all;Nothing to say that matters.Haven't we heard enough?Said it all.Nothing to say at all;Nothing to say that matters.Doesn't matter any more.In the sudden light of day,The weight of expectation;Hurt begins to fade,As you find a new direction.Been talking here for days, and days, and days.Said it all.Nothing to say at all;Nothing to say that matters.Haven't we heard enough?Said it all.Nothing to say at all;Nothing to say that matters,Doesn't matter any more.All of the miles of words we've spoken,All of the lines that got away;Didn't we take the time to say them all?All of the miles of words we've spoken,All of the lines that got away;Didn't we take the time to say them all?Said it all.Nothing to say at all;Nothing to say that matters,Haven't we heard enough?Said it all.Nothing to say at all;Nothing to say that matters,Haven't we said it all?Such an brilliant song. I love how Gary Barlow never fails to write an amazing full-blown ballad.

    Purple,Peter Rabbit or Gordon Brown?

    OMG! That's my favourite Coldplay song! I'm loving Lady GaGa as well. Love Game and Poker Face are my favourites. (Y)But I seriously cannot wait for MIKA's new album! I heard 'Blue Eyes' then I just had to buy the EP, and I also love 'Toy Boy' now. :PI have to say my favourite songs atm is without a doubt, Take That - Said It All. It will definately be a number one, if not, then something is seriously wrong - why on earth could 'Bonkers' be a number one and not 'Said It All'? It's such a beautiful song.

    *sighs in sorrow*Why did it have to be Michael? He was one of the most influential music artists of his time, and he'll be sorely missed. :'(It annoys me, that it's always the legends who have to pass away before their time is due. It's so unfair.But his music will live on, and so will his legacy. Even today you can see his moves being re-inacted by today's artists: Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, even artists like Lady GaGa and MIKA claim to have developed their owns moves, but you can see, if you look back at all Michael's video's that their his, or at least inspired by them. It just goes to show how inspirational he was to other music artists still to this day, despite all the allogations five years ago, which in my eyes were a load of rubbish.I loved everything about Michael Jackson: the dances, the singing, the music, everything about Michael was a hit. And it's just a real shame that he's finally gone. RIP Michael.xx
  10. Agreed. The ride is so much more enjoyable and thrilling with all the effects working.
  11. Sidders replied to Cringle's topic in Nonsense
    Ugh, Coursework I suppose....Sun Cream or A Dinosaur?
  12. Back to Inferno, the effects actually make a massive difference! I never knew how much they'd contribute to the whole experience, going through the volcano actually feels like the real thing (in a safe sense). It's much more realistic when you can look at the floor and see smoke, rather than just a concrete floor with some broken lights, and speaking of the lights, being under the smoke makes it seem like there is lava on the floor, ergo, a more realistic volcano experience, which is something far more 'guest-friendly' and 'extravagant' than anything Tussauds ever did. So I'm happy.
  13. Sidders replied to James6's topic in Stuff
    Aidan Smith should win, I know it's another dance act but if you ask me he's better than George Sampson.
  14. Sidders replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    You can't post that! It's got naughty words on it!
  15. Well smoke on the floor is probably better than in the entrance to the volcano, because it hides the concrete floor which wouldn't be on my list of things to see in a volcano, and it makes it seems like there is lava on the floor too. So I'm happy
  16. Korikon, the pictures posted are pictures of Nemesis Inferno back in 2003. But recently the effects on Inferno have been gradually re-appearing, like the mist, red lights and water effects etc.

    Does anyone actually have a copy of the LTDP?Thanks, and please post if you do
  18. Sidders replied to MikeC's topic in The Future
    Just like a volcano in the middle of Surrey wouldn't suit Thorpe either.
  19. Sidders replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    If I were being pompous I could say that Zaturn isn't quite an exact replica, because it's Air-Time Hill is shallower than Stealth's. But I'm not pompous....
  20. Sidders replied to Phill's topic in General Discussion
    I think the red and black fences look much more 'the part', they're a darker tone than they used to be so it looks better already. And I'm sure the 'inner corners' of the pod under-carriages were definitely red before the re-paint.
  21. Sidders replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    Meh, Stealth isn't the slowest - Zaturn, Storm Runner, and Kanonen are far slower...
  22. Sidders replied to Dan_Rush's topic in General Discussion
    Such a waste if you ask me, Stealth should be faster. I'm not even sure it needs extra hydraulic tanks to do so. Why not re-gain the title as the real fastest lauched coaster in Europe?
  23. Sidders replied to Dan_Rush's topic in General Discussion
    Stealth is more-than-likely perfectly able to reach 100mph, but down to H&S (now there's a name I didn't expect to see...), along with the design of the restraints; the aero-dynamic quality of the train; all stop it form doing so, but the main reson why is H&S. It could also be down to a restricted budget during construction - so Thorpe couldn't afford more than 24 hydraulic tanks.Just a theory...
  24. His personal comment says ''QuantumRocks''... maybe it's Quantum? Anywho, back on topic, I still hate the out-of-proportion 2009 map
  25. No too sure about that alligator, but what I do know about it is that it sits on a water pump for the surrounding lagoons under the helixes.
