    The Smiler

    Doesn't AUTOMATICALLY make it a bad thing, most Eurofighters don't have the awfulness of Saw...

    Can't be lapbars purely because there isn't a connecting bar at the forefront of the picture (I.e. look at the picture of Wicked above, and the B&M clamshells)... If they were lapbars you would be able to see it quite clearly from that pic... So unless they've gone and done a Blue Fire restraint (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE), it's gotta be OTSRs of some form...

    Another pic reveals................... Nothing of 100% determination, but it's looking like OTSRs people, move along...

    Oakwood

    Plane Crazy got spited? Shame
  5. I wasn't aware images had to make everyone laugh...
  6. Simple business to get to Thorpe from Central London, single train from Waterloo (or can go from Victoria but will require changing at Clapham and a MILE LONG walk)... Vauxhall is another alternative as Waterloo trains head straight through... Then a bus from Staines station (or taxi, whichever floats your boat)...

    He thinks it's TOO low for a ride like NWO... Although with new trains, comes new individual lapbars... Indeed, the original NWO had a min restriction of 1.2 (odd) [citation needed], and was raised when someone ended up out of the train (as riding with those of a larger disposition meant those under 1.4m could easily get out of the train)... Of course, the other side is it going against Thorpe's BIG THRILL marketing...
  10. Maybe you shouldn't be so boring then
  11. And nothing of value was lost...
  12. Phantasialand's new Flume ride is taking shape... I don't even know where to begin... Looks more confusing than Smiler does...
  13. WHAT a ride... Only reason anyone needs to visit that place... Sod the rest of it, Katun is where it's at...

    So it's basically gonna become a crap version of EuroSat?
  15. That's with riding Goudrix AND Sequioa Adventure as well?
  16. What immensely well themed trains!
  17. Been sponsored by them for... 2/3 years I think? It came with the revamp of the logo/signage/new bins... Not the worst ride sponsorship we've seen in the UK...
  18. But surely if people want information on a park they would go to the official site as the first piece of available information? Not a Thorpe Park biased forum where many on here won't actually know the answer?
  19. http://www.chessington.com/updates/#wwu The websites exist for a reason...

    Oakwood

    Did they announce it would be open with the park? Not anywhere I can see, so yes, I do expect it to be a construction site, even if the rest of the park opens this week... 2 months since groundwork was going on as well... That's a worse construction window (if they aimed for opening) than any of Merlin's stuff... Logic dictates therefore they were not aiming for a opening day jobbie with this (especially as the Flume came from Camelot, hence a decision no doubt waited on whether or not that would've been coming along to the park)... Indeed, this is a HUGE investment for Oakwood, let them build it in their own time and judge the FINISHED product... Not the current state (with it's surprise indoor section, was not expecting that)...
