It's like Raptor's trains decided to have rump-pumpy with the Cylons of Battlestar Galatica fame...And LEDs... Interesting, but will they be fixed if/when they break? [/cynical]Back to the Church arguement, it's uncoveredness can be annoying in certain physical aspects, but it suits the post-apocalyptic theme perfectly... So apples and oranges really, sometimes the visual aspect can limit things...

The turn on Skyrush made my neck physically twinge.And Cars Land (and the whole DCA redo) looks brill. Nom.Plus most international projects get ignored here. Nothing new.

The local schools break up a week after I do? WINNING! <3 Bring on the hour long trip on the 23rd!

Although I'm sure there's another topic based on this, do Thorpe employ 16 year olds these days? Particularly on rides? The website is SO uninformative in their job blurb.Probably better to wait till you're actually 16 if they do, they have applications in the Summer as well, so it's no rush right now.Besides, in summer you'll be expected to work more full-time than part-time.

Whilst I'm not really sold too much on station fly-throughs, I'm sure someone will appreciate this

Testing could easily happen, choppa or no choppa.I'm sure Monk's Walk will be aglow with sad people enthuisiasts daily should testing begin now. Or at any time tbh.

ALTHOUGH!TUV (the German H&S mob) have said that due to the lack of seat-belts the bars will lock LOWER than they normally would.Soooooooo riders with large girth (Raptor <3) may have an issue, but a test seat will no doubt appear to help sort it out.Though imo, I remember loads of enthusiasts panicking cos of Raptor having 'tight fittting' restraints, and no-one did the walk of shame. So whatever (it doesn't affect me in the slightest ANYWAY).

Oh sod it was that on again last night? TO IPLAYER!

Sexy Dollywood <3

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?

Military guys taken over by the Swarm (whatever they're meant to actually be).Done. Send the cheque in the post Thorpe.

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

WAT NO HUNTIK?!!!!!!!!!

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...

Grab your Kleenex, here's a new batch of pics!ANNNNNNNND, a bonus video! NOM NOM NOM indeed!

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...

Ahhh a frape virgin...Welcome to modern life.

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.

I know the wind today was strong but this is ridiculous...

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
