GCI FacebookYay for GCI posting really regular construction updates right to my facebook homepage... Better than all this "I'll rate you out of 10" crap you get from friends -

I hope not, I wouldn't wish a Nightmare At 20,000 Feet on anyone I suppose you're right, although they are going back to family so I don't know.Hug donations gratefully accepted.

My money is on KD personally... It would go completely against the recent trend of investment (or rather lack thereof) and ride removal from CGA so I doubt they'll get one. Dorney might make sense I suppose.

Sure you can skype or facebook or whatever but it's hardly the same as seeing them literally every day like I did this person... And France is next door and day-trippable if you really felt like it, unlike this person's destination.

Saw one of my true best friends for the last time ever last night. I feel terrible.

Air had a bit of a rough start but only because of a section of the lifting mechanism in the station failing, and I don't recall any horror stories from Raptor so I have high hopes it'll survive the weekend.

Wow, it looks like they are actually putting in that underwater tunnel! Plus that first segment with the dive loop, overbank, vertical loop and immelmann loop looks amazing :DAlso, Potion Magix is a really cool name for a fan site. I hereby petition the admins to change TPM to The Wicked Witch's Cauldron or something!

I just went back to my post on page 11 to check, but it seems someone has edited my post and replaced the plan I posted with a small version. Having the huge one was kinda the point, so people could actually see what I was talking about

Love it! That's hilarious

Hate to disappoint Josh, but Ricky found that the day the plans came out Hasn't been mentioned since though, so it deserves to be talked about again.
I can't believe that after all the jokes about it, we are actually talking seriously about an aquatrax. Really?
I'm really getting back into Fallout 3 at the moment... I always think with this and Oblivion, you know a game is quality when you keep coming back to it even 3 years after release, or 5 in Oblivion's case. I can't wait for Skyrim. Bethesda rule.
Benin, you nearly sounded there like you think Thorpe have actually thought about this development
Right, following the aforementioned late-night LC12ing between myself and Sidders, time for a fresh batch of theorising on an as-yet unmentioned topic!Ladies and gents, please direct your eyes in a station-ly direction...Now, closer inspection of this plan reveals something interesting. On the floor plan section, we see stairs going up the tower (this part was mentioned):This is confirmed by an annotation on the North Elevation, which reads "Queue line bridge" (so, the queue runs outside the station building and parallel to it, then at least part enters the tower and turns left):So Sidders and I were wondering this: will there be anything between us and the train whilst in the tower? As we all know the train flies straight through this tower, and with the stairs going up inside I can't help but wonder if there would even be space to make a separation. If there's say just wire mesh or netting for falling articles with the track directly above it and visible, this is going to provide an amazing queueline interaction.Discuss!
Waaaay I'm an idiot. Just realised you meant your third, not mine :closedeyes:Edit...Excuse the crap upload quality... Facebook not Flickr.
Third? Or do you mean third from bottom? Either way, glad to be of service
I hate to make this seem even more boring than it already is, but the cages have been on site for a while The girders haven't though, and they do look like probable station framing so at least something has happened! This really is moving along very slowly... Although I wouldn't mind betting quite a few more footers have gone in, the pile of casings seems to have diminished somewhat. Hope they hurry up, or soon we'll have everyone's favourite "It won't be ready in time!!!!" farce. Oh dear.
Haven't seen those in a while, thanks for posting them Sidders. And that photo Neil posted shows what a serious piece of kit these trains are - they look so purposeful and powerful. No wonder they're all themed so darkly!
Did someone say epic interaction?
