  1. Indeed they most certainly do suffer from Terminal Velocity, although having not done Hurakan Condor, I cannot really tell... Apocalypse at Drayton is what... Half the height? Doesn't really reach it (in my opinion at least) so you might have the boredom factor by that reasoning, hard to tell because of the smaller size making it more aerodynamic compared to Scream's fat seating ring, might not be as bad... Aside from the possibility of it being an Intamin and potentially killing everyone... ;)As for heading to first, gonna be Dragon Khan or Furius Baco... Maybe Baco first then Khan and Shambalalalalalalala...Probs won't get everything done, unless you don't care about shows...

    Any actual links to this NL 'recreation' or are we just going to have links to pictures of it?
  3. Military guys taken over by the Swarm (whatever they're meant to actually be).Done. Send the cheque in the post Thorpe.
  4. Can't see a maze happening, there's going to be barely room to breathe on the area next year.Maybe some actors though.

    Why I said potentially and also if you look at the other plans they do look like they could well be inversions... The one after the weird Cobra Roll looks exactly how I would draw a Corkscrew from a bird's eye view...

    Potentially 10 inversions if those two s curve sections are actually corkscrews...Plus I didn't realise they were going over to the toilets... How interesting is that? Gonna entice a LOT more action into the entrance area of X-Sector...Lol Towers <3
  7. It's the kind of opinion to expect when you've only ever ridden one version of a certain type...Rage, Speed, Mystery Mine, Fluch, all MILES better than Saw in every way, shape and form...

    Those plans are REALLY hard to read aren't they?I think there is a Norweigian Loop, the first inversion being so, but since the ride is SO compact it's hard to tell what anything is really...So two lift hills, a normal one and a vertical one makes it reasonably interesting... As well as the whole potential indoor section... And remember folks, for every Sore-The Ride, Gerstlauer have made Fluch and as previously mentioned, Fuji-Q's MONSTER... There is hope for this project yet...Wait and see for further details I think... Either way an interesting start to this year...
  9. Grab your Kleenex, here's a new batch of pics!ANNNNNNNND, a bonus video! NOM NOM NOM indeed!
  10. Change your password all you want, but you LEFT IT LOGGED IN.Curiousity is a human trait. As is letting people know that they make stupid mistakes...
  11. Ahhh a frape virgin...Welcome to modern life.
  12. Urgh, wondering why I'm so nice to people at times when they point blank to refuse my help even though they themselves know they need support and help.I do hate people at times.
  13. I know the wind today was strong but this is ridiculous...
  14. Watching that video of Jaws shows how much difference a good Skipper made to the ride experience...It's a shame to see it go, but times change... Besides, it's still open in Japan ;)And here's an article on it from Jim Hill - http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2012/01/01/universal-studios-florida-s-quot-jaws-quot-attraction-sails-off-into-the-sunset.aspx
  15. Fab...Drove past it again today... Hmmmm so made of good things... Certainly be the best addition in the UK for over a decade...Merlin need to ensure that the corner they turned since last year remains on track...
  16. Awk...Well, red and blue... Best colours to choose tbh

    NWO is a really weird cult ride.I personally think it's useless and always has been. Especially now that the one gimmick it had doesn't happen anymore.Meh, I wouldn't cry it they removed it.

    Television

    BBC Sherlock :wub:Some seriously good British TV right there I tell you. Brilliant.
  19. It's cos I'm amazing ;)On the plus side, Despicable Me ride this year <3<3<3<3 Universal doing SOMETHING right eh?
  20. Think it's more of a "with such a wealth of potential IPs to choose from, why must they just go with one" thing... Twilight Zone is one of the least well known IPs (especially over here) so why not use one of them instead of the instant cash prize that Potterland Reloaded would bring? (Yes the answer is in the question)Potter arguably is the best and worst thing to happen to Universal... Best because it has been one of (if not THE) most successful new additions to any modern theme park, but the worst because it WAS so successful... They have to decide (and have seemingly leant towards) just essentially expanding that one area, making the rest of the parks look even worse in comparison...
