  1. Would make perfect sense to use such a massive structure to part support the coaster...
  2. Possibly, but with the current information and not knowing if it's buggered again or not, why would Thorpe get rid of it after all that effort fixing it?
  3. There will NOT be a coaster this year... A flat ride is just as less likely, since there has been a distinct lack of planning permission... If there's a new ride, it'll most like be located inside the Time Voyagers building... Most likely is the X refurb, as that will technically be a new experience... Don't read into PR speak too much...

    Never, cos Fish was redone before Merlin came in

    Stealth? Possibly fit, I dunno, not pyschic but it would be a fab and relatively cheap addition, whilst also being unique to the country...

    Why would Thorpe want a Boomerang? Unless it was a Giant Inverted one... THAT I can get on board with (plus it's unreliable, wahey it's already a Thorpe ride!)

    It happens one time with Terry and it seems Towers (and Merlin) do it all the time... It's just unfortunate... Since I can't go opening weekend now my care levels have dropped dramatically... But I do hope they pull it out the bag, if only to troll the "told you so" people just waiting for it to fail because MERLIN! At least we're not getting a bloody Volare guys!
  8. Get to experience the refurbed Pirates then if going after Towers opening (I don't, cos it's being spiteful and closed for 2 months till the 16th March)... New York has about 5 coasters around (Cyclone and the Zamperla stuff), plus 1 new at Disney and 31 in Denmark, that's a decent number really for the year... Don't think I'll quite reach 300 though EDIT - Actually, I just checked, I will be hitting 300 in New York, Cyclone it is then...

    There were rumours of a B&M Hyper Coaster back in 2011... Think literally it was between a valley coaster, Air car park and Black Hole tent... One can only hope they return to the valley in the near future...

    Not my fault in my experience a fair few people in coaster communities often need stuff spelt out for them... It's a fair assumption to make (especially regarding an old unbuilt project, you can never tell who might remember such an idea being mooted)...
  12. Liseberg have made some alterations to their Mack, a pre-launch corkscrew and an inverting Top Hat... MACK
  13. New Extremis uses a similar system as Terra, I.e. drop first, rise second... That's why there's a new one (besides no doubt a few system upgrades as well)...

    Nope, thinking of the old Cross Valley Coaster concept, the last of the true Wardley designs... http://old.towerstimes.co.uk/history/plans/woodie.htm Sigh...
  17. I'm gonna put my post off Coasterforce to state why I think Swarm backwards won't happen... Ever... It literally just sounds like a stupid troll rumour and nothing more... It's more disbelieving that people are actually believing it will/has happened already, where really, if it had, SOMEONE would have spotted something related to it (as I'm sure people are still getting their Monk's Walk fix, or a staff member will have let it slip...

    Personally, SW6 was that old wooden valley coaster, meaning that this wasn't even SW7 to begin with!
  19. Really, REALLY, not getting the Terry hate... Air (6) Duel - The Haunted House Strikes Back (4) Hex: The Legend Of The Towers (5) Nemesis (7) Oblivion (6) The Gardens (2) Gardens + Duel - Just one last troll
  20. If I had a quid for every year we had a NWO revamp rumour...
