  1. The gap between the queuelines is the entrance to the workshop.
  2. No-one can get a picture of the Zero-G Roll/Station Exit yet because that particular part of Canda Creek/Lost City is still currently closed off.But looky:http://s655.photobucket.com/albums/uu279/S...=SANY0013-1.jpgWhat be that strange looking wooden thingy? A torture device?

    Prolonged exposure to G-Force induced black-outs could cause internal bleeding of the brain and eyes [/gory] , but you'd have to be subdued to about 6-8G for that to happen, and no Flying Coaster ever exceeds 4G because of the body's position being more vulnerable when it's spread out.I'm sure that unless you manage to be 'blacked-out' constantly for a long period of time you're perfectly safe; you're probably just experiencing a mild/strong head-rush that most people seem to get if they're stationary for too long and then they start to move very abrubtly. You can get head-rushes from standing up too quickly, listening to really loud music through head-phones and leaning your head backwards and after a while swinging it back into it's original position too quickly. They basically mean that your head wasn't being supplied with a lot of oxygen because you didn't need it - you were stationary, and all-of-a-sudden your body's blood supply immediately wakes up and the 'rush' you get is your head being re-oxygenated.So basically, try and move about whilst going up the lift, talk to someone, think about what you're having for tea tonight; do anything that keeps your brain working because then the blood-supply will maintain itself and hopefully you won't black-out.

    Sorry if I didn't make my point clear enough Will, but as Mark said, Flyers can't do any outwards facing inversions (except Corkscrews) because of exertion forces crushing the riders chest and/or breaking the restraints. Hope that's clearer.
  5. Havn't spoken in a while.. but I gather you're feeling much better now? ;)

  6. Grrr, at my dad! He's not letting me go to the meet. *Counts down to the next meet and prays I might be able to go*

    LOVE these ideas. But Flying Coasters can't do Immelman Turns, Loops, Dive Loops, or Norwegian Loops, because of G-Force exertion on the restraints.And I'm not sure the height ceiling will be raised permanently, maybe just a one off ride like the Flyer. But I suppose we can all dream...
  11. Oh good, I was getting worried they'd dropped one of the major focal points of the ride theme.Hopefully the windmill will be covered in blood spatters and possibly a derelict-looking frame to make it fit in.
  12. Makes sense to me, but why does it do it? Oooo, questions, questions....

    Songs And Lyrics

    Mika - My InterpretationYou talk about life, you talk about death, and everything in between,Like it's nothing, and the words are easy.You talk about me, you talk about you, and everything I do,Like it's something, that needs repeating.I don't need an alabi or for you to realize,The things we left unsaid are only taking space up in our head.Make it my fault, win the game.Point the finger, place the blame.It does me up and down,It doesn't matter now.'Cause I don't care.If I ever talk to you again,This is not about emotion.I don't, need a reason not to care what you say,Or what happened in the end.This is my interpretation,And it don't, no it don't make sense.The first two weeks turn into ten,I hold my breath and wonder when it'll happen,Does it really matter?If half of what you said is true,Then half of what I didn't do could be different,Would it make it better?If we forget the things we know,Would we have somewhere to go?The only way is down, I can see that now.'Cause I don't care.If I ever talk to you again,This is not about emotion.I don't, need a reason not to care what you say,Or what happened in the end.This is my interpretation,And it don't, no it don't make sense.(It's really not such a sacrifice)'Cause I don't care, if I never talk to you again,This is not about emotion.I don't, need a reason not to care what you say,Or what happened in the end.This is my interpretation,And it don't, no it don't make sense.And it don't have to make no sense to you at all,'Cause this is my interpretation, yeah, yeah, yeah.^Love It!

    I agree with Sam P, but I have to admit ste193, your ideas for 2010 are very good, and they would be a great addition to Thorpe.

    Logger's Leap,Whitening Toothpaste or Enamel Care Toothpaste?
  17. A man walks up to a bridge with a warning sign saying 'MAXIMUM LOAD - 80KG'.The man is carrying 3 bars of gold, each weighing 1KG.The man weighs 78KG.He makes the journey in ONE TRIP, and all the bars of gold reach the other side of the bridge at the SAME TIME as he does.How does he cross safely?
  18. Well, I agree with TPDan; spoilers are annoying because it ruins the element of surprise. And please don't anyone take a camera into the station and then post the images on here, unless you plan to use spoiler tags because otherwise it just ruins other people's first experiences of SAW.

    On Treasure Island, it was once part of Thorpe Park, before it was bought by Tussauds and turned into a Thrill-Seeker's Park. The Canada Creek Railway was once routed there, where it stopped off at the peninsula, which had a pirate ship theme originally. The faint area just above Infill 'D' is Treasure Island.
  20. I'm planning to go around April-ish time, because I'm going to wait until the press and hype have died down before I make my long trek up to Thorpe to ride SAW.No spoilers now!

    Songs And Lyrics

    Coldplay - Life In Technicolor IIThere's a wild wind blowing,Down the corner of my street;Every night there, the headlights are glowing.There's a cold war coming,On the radio I heard;Baby, it's a violent world.Oh, love, don't let me go,Won't you take me where the street lights glow?I can hear it coming,I can hear the siren sound.Now my feet won't touch the ground.Time came a-creeping,Oh, and time's a loaded gun.(Every road is a ray of light)It goes o-o-o-o-on and on,Time only can lead you on, Still it's such a beautiful night.Oh, love, don't let me go,Won't you take me where the street lights glow?I can hear it coming,Like a serenade of sound;Now my feet won't touch the ground.Ooooooh,Ooooooh,Gravity, release me,And don't ever hold me down;Now my feet won't touch the ground.Properly love this song! It's my new favourite, my last was Viva la Vida.

    Howard Moon, because he has a funny name... :)Life In Technicolour II (Coldplay) or Life In Cartoon Motion (Mika)?Me likey both...
  23. Alas, there is no holding break, so such a feature wouldn't be possible. Back to the Live Actors, they'll probably be in cages adjacent to the queueline fences and they could be in traps in many different cages so every few feet there's someone who 'doesn't value their life', and Jigsaw's doin' his thang.
