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

Disneyland Paris
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...

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
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?

The Smiler
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.

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
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.

Jobs At Thorpe Park
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.

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

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
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.

Europa Park
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).

Port Aventura
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?

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

THE SWARM: Speculation & Theories
Can't see a maze happening, there's going to be barely room to breathe on the area next year.Maybe some actors though.
-
The Smiler
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...
-
The Smiler
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

Rides that you.. like
WAT NO HUNTIK?!!!!!!!!!

SAW: The Ride
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...
-
The Smiler
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...
