Ever watched 'Just My Luck'? I hear that in that film they class modern art as a pile of s**t being squirted out of a hole every now and then. Gotta love it

Saw- Construction Thread
I know what you mean, but Samurai has always seemed to be poking into Cananda Creek, and with the opening of the new coaster, Samurai is actually cut off from the rest of the Lost City, some a re-theme into Canada Creek wouldn't be a totally pointless investment, as it would look really out of place with a Log-Flume one side and a dis-used Sawmill themed coaster on the other.

Saw- Construction Thread
You really think so? I think that if Samurai got re-themed (rumoured... apparently), Buzzsaw would suit Samurai more, as it is remotely circular, and if Thorpe gave Samurai a black coat of paint, put a silver, metallic serated effect on the Samurai pods to make it look like a buzzsaw when it is in operation, that would be great - much better than the out-of-place turquoise and red that it is now.

I agree that Project Dylan is definitely included in the extreme breed of Euro-Fighter and will probably be 'up there' with names like Speed, Rage, Mystery Mine. As far as I can see, there is only one well-themed Eurofighter - Mystery Mine, and this coaster is, as JoshC.4 said, looking likely to overcome Mystery Mine in concepts of themeing.Btw, does anyone think that this coaster may have some holographic-type themeing in its dark section like on the second lift-hill of Mystery Mine, (when the lightning strikes the windmill and in turn seems to fall on your head while your going up the lift).

It took Thorpe 24 days from the first date of track arrival to the track completion.

Yes, I understand, but lets not start a naming debate. We'll just have to wait until Thorpe are ready to release the name.

Saw- Construction Thread
Just for the record, a 'circular blade' is called a buzzsaw, which probably encourages the possibility of the ride being called that. It seems that Thorpe might actually go with this name, as some of the themeing in places sush as the lift motor etc. is a buzzsaw, so the name 'Buzzsaw' might still be on the cards. I hope not, its too obvious in my eyes.

Yes, but whether Thorpe will do a 'X:\No Way Out Loading' and have a wall or a corner between them to make it look like the people on the previous train have died in some gory accident, I don't know.I personally think (although I prefer the new layout) that if the old layout's first MCBR was an Air-Time Hill, and the Overbanked Turn and second set of MCBR stayed, it might have also worked pretty well.

B&M, they're smoother, and they invented Floorless, Inverted, Dive Machines, and *technically* they invented Stand-Ups because they were working for Intamin at the time and they designed the concepts and layouts.Roses or Quality Street?

I knew about the infilling of the Lost City, and I think most people would've guessed that at least one coaster would be put on the land behind Stealth and the Flying Fish; what kind? Well we don't know that. And how reliable do you really think the rest of the information is? It'd be nice to have a really well themed Flyer behind Stealth and Flying Fish (I don't want to know if its not going to be themed though, it would just look ugly).Sorry for going a bit off-topic there.

Alright, I didn't know it was that big, there'll probably be another headchopper and some more epic themeing. In a way, the revised layout was also a good choice as it means Thorpe can theme more of the track rather than just the station building. :mellow:And that image is of the Immelman Turn taken from in front of Samurai. Although it does look very much like an Immelman Loop or Dive Loop depending on how you look at it.

Saw- Construction Thread
That's the one I'm referring to, but can anyone confirm if the track goes into it? And if so, which part? I have a feeling Thorpe are going to use the trench for more 'surprise' themeing; possibly a few saws and such

Saw- Construction Thread
So is there any comfimation of the Dive Loop actually going underground, because I remember someone posted that they saw a large trench similar to the one inside the station building right where the exit of the Dive Loop should be. The pictures are rather ambiguous because it is unclear whether it does or not due to all those trees.
