It would be a bit dumb if B&M had such a flaw...The answer is of course, no, the angle in the photo is the issue here, making it seem like less material than the actually is... Let's not be so silly as to think that people would be able to touch the track whilst on the ride, any good design team will have sorted that first and foremost...

The whole ride just shows what happens when a park puts in zero effort into adding a ride... In a way it actually looks WORSE than any car park coaster, which is quite an achievement...Just goes to show that sometimes, it's just not worth adding a new ride...

The turn looks like a more epic version of Apollo's Chariot's one...DO WANT! But it means going to awful Salou

They don't NEED music to be epic

Rammstein concert last night was amaze <3Fireballs, flamethrowers, fireworks, explosions, steam, platforms, bridges, giant penis cannon... Made of win

Faker than fake...EDIT - Also...

27k is bloody good tbh... Could easily live off that...Better than the average 16k most graduates seem to go and do... Maybe I'm ruling out that too early?

Only cos I'd been the inside a few times already and was bored of being there

Just noticed the extremely blaise face on the red haired girl...Blates part of the ECC...Also, both inside and outside seats will be good... There's no need to only dedicate yourself to one set (or side for that matter)...

That turn is going to be amazing <3

The idea behind Air's theme is quite good actually, and suits the ride pretty well as it is not along the lines of Nemesis, and it allows it to have it's own relative identity within the park...Unfortunately, the budget dying due to the ride system rather than anything being cut, meant that it didn't get brought out as well, hence the concrete tunnel of bright lights we have today...I like Air, seem to be one of the few enthusiasts at times that actually does... Though I never knew it could go even slower than normal until Sunday

That's just the Hospitality Suite isn't it? Nothing really special about it, although why Towers and Thorpe don't hide or theme them from the outside I'm not sure...

Woah woah woah, let's not say such things when Katun exists please

Just goes to show that adding something new every year can just be a waste of money and effort...

But looking at their past simulations, Sub Terra COULD be a much more interesting one as it would be unique (Cars would just be a different version of Test Track for example)... And of course all the coasters are near as damn the same (open gates, close gates, check bars, dispatch, repeat ad naseum)... It might of course be like Tower of Terror's sim, but we don't know WHAT Sub Terra does at this exact moment...Point is though, you made a generalisation, some of us DO have an interest in Sub Terra, plainly because of the unknown quantities that the ride does entail... Just cos you don't care or the random people you talk to don't, doesn't mean EVERYONE doesn't... And also, if people just automatically assume a ride is bad because of what the ride type is, especially for a dark ride, then what's the point? Hex is just a revolving room that psychologically does people over, is that a bad ride?

Depends if they do the same as Raptor or not, and batch people into the station or just let it be the usual dash around... Considering this is now meant to have a front row queue, I would guess it does have the chance to queue above the station..

Oh Jack Dammit...

Bit of a generalisation there, are we comparing that to Swarm? In which case of course Swarm will be deemed more interesting, cos we can see what's happening...I sense Sub Terra might be a surprise this year...

Why does it matter? :S

I said last year that Merlin are turning a corner...This proves it without a doubt, they've done back to the early Tussauds style, and it will pay dividends to how the parks begin to look in the future...It's almost a shame one side of the station will start looking like Inferno's volcano due to the lack of roof after a few times of heavy rain though... But I'd like them to put those gates on Vampire now please...

WHY IS CORKSCREW ON THE PROMO IMAGE?!*reports to trading standards*

Great news to wake up to!http://www.tvline.com/2012/02/community-season-3-return-date/#6seasonsandamovie

Pfft, it's no Flat Earth Society that's for certain...

Alcohol and rides in the UK is a lot different from the Germans though... Especially given the current state of not knowing the limit, least the Germans can handle it/are sensible with their intake...Couple of pints or Saw? WHAT gives the biggest headache?
