    2013 Changes

    Lol, it's like Laser Raiders for adults... That'd be fab, but, would a dark ride of that style really work at Thorpe?

    Music

    If it's a whole album of Dubstep, consider myself out...
  3. Makes a change for a ride to cause this this way around rather than killing someone...

    Video Games.

    It looks alright so far... I'm intrigued by it and might well be tempted if the launch games are decent... Some decent potential and hell, new Pikmin game Also, Watch Dogs looks amazing... Not really followed what Microsoft and Sony said because, it was probably not worth my time...

    2013 Changes

    The throughput of those is like, 200-300 max an hour... I'd really rather Thorpe not get one...
  6. Must have been from one of those European countries with crap parks then
  7. Well I got to experience yet another version of Sub Terra today and here is a quick runthrough of what has changed that I noticed... - Addition wind blower aimed at the back of the head during the ride - Countdown/New related announcements at the end of the ride portion - Scare Corridor of darkness, loudness and claustrophobicness There might well be small other changes, but if they changed anything further, I didn't notice really... HOWEVER... The new exit container really changes the ending of the ride and provides a scary element that many felt were missing from the ride, with more reactions being of screams or laughs... Both of which are positive reactions in comparison to the sauntering departure of boredom... With a good use of smoke, noise and darkness to really disorient the riders and a small smattering of actors really adds to the experience although it is not clear what is really going on (guessing due to the bio suits it's decontamination due to the hatched eggs)... Overall, a good addition, although may have resulted in me rarely bothering to ride it more than one a day...
  8. San Diego's Manta POV! Looks like a fun family coaster... Could do with one in the UK methinks...
  9. There is also a Oblivion one at Towers... My Nemesis one currently stands proudly on my desk cos it's AWESOME <3

    Fixed. I wonder how dead the forum was when me and Mark went to Italy last year?
  11. 'Stolen'? Nah, maybe B&M's designers give the options to the parks to pick and choose, that sounds more likely...
  12. A ROUGH INTAMIN?! Say it isn't so!!!! Jesus you get close to the Comet station on the turn into the brakes... And I thought the point of the floor being put on the inner most seats was to REDUCE the bounciness? Unimpressed... (Unsurprisingly, but considering B&M have brought out 4 smooth looking versions of this, well...)
  13. I think it's more that the park have decided the best way to improve the ride is throw more money at it over a long period (I.e. staff wages) on a ride that already needs the highest number of staff to run it minimal... In a time where budget cuts are getting bigger and bigger, it doesn't make much sense to add more staff who will be paid higher wages 100% of the time... Maybe they could/should have just done with more effects in this exit corridor thing, but I dunno if the re-rideability will ever increase for it now... I'll find out Saturday, with people who have never been on the ride in any guise anyways, so it's gonna be like we're all riding it for the first time...
  14. If Colossus had trains that didn't restrict my legs for 90 seconds and were actually possible to get out of then it would be an improvement... Like it was 10 years ago... But then again, I have the opinion of if you have to brace yourself on a ride, it's not that great, especially for the people who have never ridden it before and hence won't know this small fact between it being goddamn awful and potentially rideable...
  15. I'm sure there is also a maximum wind speed that the effect can work at, as seen on X2 and Terminator/Apocalypse...
  16. To be fair, the consideration of riding Rita when you're standing by Rita is a chore anyways, so it's a win-win...
  17. Well THAT was an anti-climax... http://www.gardalandraptor.it/fumetto/scarica-pdf.php
  18. It's not based off a god, it's based off a character in the Asterix books! [/pedantic] Also, needs more park review Got me all excited now too... YAY B&M!
  19. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Screw you Towers!
  20. Nice quality POV... I think the simulated splashdown suits the Mega coasters better, it looked a bit silly when half the train had already left the pool when Diamondback's splash started...
