As part of my end of exams celebrations, an ARNOLD weekend was determined...Everyone's favourite Austrian body-builder turned actor turned governor, has had sooo many classic films, few of which I have actually seen... So of course, it was set into motion from Thursday that Arnold would be viewed... A lot...As iffy as Arnold is as an actor, he has featured in a very varied amount of films, of course, many of them are essentially him beating the odds and destroying as many henchman as possible, but that's what he's best at... But with since things like Predator, Kindergarten Cop and Total Recall to list a few, his resume is a mixture of 80s action cheese, comedies and some of the best one-liners in cinematic history...TO ARNOLD! GET TO DA CHOPPPPPPPPPA!

Dunno, posting pointless stuff can only get you so far, you do sometimes actually have to back it up with good posts to get away with it...

I'm not sure. I would lean more towards Air's being longer due to the nature of the position. Although if someone looked they would probs be quite similar due to the leg room.

Well you have a lot of space in front of you and I don't think the PR would be good if someone put their leg out to be destroyed by a giant coaster wheel.

Or they have two trains because that's all that can physically run on the available block sections?Stealth of course is the exception due to Rita's constant mess-ups and they wanted to have a spare train.

I do exactly the same regarding solely park (and culture, I'm not THAT much of a goon) trips...Granted my Italy trip was chosen to coincide with Rainbow Magicland and Raptor's opening, but due to date issues we missed out on Movieland Studios... That to me, rather than forcing to cancel the trip, gives me incentive to go back (same for DiVertical and the constant nagging in my ear regarding it as well)...Of course that won't happen for a while, but missing out on new rides is a way of life sometimes, I had 3 years in a row where my park trips each had a park building a new ride (coincidently all launched coasters as well)... Either way, if Europa announced their 2013 ride between now and me booking the trip, I wouldn't hold it off at all, because I want to go this year a damn lot due to Blue Fire and Woooooodan... But it's all personal preference and since I have a lot of free time I intend to make the most of it

Can you start posting like this more often please?This is quite right: The front of the train having gained kinetic energy regardless of how little it may appear (these trains are MUCH heavier than Inferno's or Colossus' let's not forget), then it will probably gain a surprising amount of speed necessary to both complete the inversion slowly but with the right amount of build-up and anticipation. Then of course the more weight off the lift hill means the more speed being built up and (insert engineering babble here).Then the back row will get whipped around and descend upon the rest of the course relatively furiously, as per any ride's back row to be honest, Raptor's back row was a particular highlight of the ride on that first drop, with a bout of airtime rarely seen in a B&M.This is going to have such re-ride factor on a ride which already has that due to the seating style.

It'll probs really CRAWL through it. Like Hydra at Dorney Park, kind of a similar thing (though the tyre drives in the station will help somewhat).It won't launch though, B&M don't do launches. Hulk is the exception and that was created by Universal's team rather than any B&M involvement.

I never got to see any of the posts

The lift hill will NOT be launched. At all. Ever.

*Goes on holiday**Posts on TPM*Least I had someone try to impersonate me when I went away, come on

Hmmm, that photo REALLY shows the lack of land Thorpe have for future developments.

Huh? What's the point in that? Just go to them, and then the NEXT new ride gives you an excuse to go again in the future...That logic is just a bit... Lacking...

These seats are REALLY comfy. Like could sit on the ride all day comfy. It's FAB <3 Silly Lauren, no children go to Thorpe Park.

150 eh? Well maybe they can buy a few pots of paint with that bit I doubt it'll stretch far

Scaly skin innit.Just like Raptor's.

But it's B&M, so will automatically be better than anything like it <3

Bout time they did SOMETHING to that park... So badly designed and really needs something more than Tower of Terror and Rock n Roller Coaster to be any good...

Probs hidden in the back of the seats (once again based off Raptor)...So if you're in the front row, no on-ride video... Random, but, what else can they do?

I'm not fussed what we get to be quite honest.Eurofighters CAN be very very good, as proven by Mystery Mine and Fluch, Takibashi looks ridiculous but no-one's actually ridden it really.X-Car's I've only done G-Force and Shock, one is worse than awful, and the newest one is excellent fun.Either way, be it X-Car or Eurofighter, it will either be really good, or really crap. And BECAUSE of the locality to Drayton (and THEIR X-Car) I will plump for Gerstlauer. Alton won't want people coming in, making some form of recognition to something awful and automatically assuming it will be crap. Similarly for Saw in a way but that's quite a hit with the GP.

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!
