Life is easier said than done though.And sometimes your friends can be your worst enemies... Food for thought.@Will, people are just strange. Especially ones who say you are friends but often it doesn't feel that way. Hard to say what to do because all I do is have unrequited rage or confusion over the whole deal.

Thorpe need to do more groundwork than other parks anyway, otherwise the thing would sink and then what?It'll be open (for 5 minutes) in March as it's meant to... No need for twisted knickers...

^Pfft, last time I went, Augustus, Violet AND Veruca were all broken...It's kinda harmless, but it just looks worse and worse every time I go on it...

I was just telling you why the height thing is slightly all over the place. Hills and valleys are everywhere in Dollywood. Hilliest park in the world it is.It does indeed share similarities with B&M Sit-Downs, but I'ven ever met one of them I didn't like. And for Dollywood it's hard to judge how much the ride will be hidden by trees until it gets built.It's all rather exciting for B&M this year. Great to see a ride type of their's become really popular in only two years of it's existence. And each one seems to bring it's own individual thing to the table. Brilliant.

Dollywood and the surrounding area is like that... Imagine Towers, but bigger... And that's the thing...Height doesn't matter though in my eyes with this type though, so....

Think the park have done similar before with Bluetooth... And with the Bar Reader apps on phones now, they could do anything really...

If we go by announcements, it's not even the 1st B&M one... Six Flags properly trolled Dollywood here :PLooks AWESOME though... Dollywood is a beautiful park with a fantastic atmosphere, I can only imagine the sort of landscaping that will go with this ride... And the rustic theming to boot...More pics!Poor Thorpe

I think you'll find that you do go upside down on Norwegien Loops...

Colossus is gonna lose it's record...http://www.parkworld.be/en/seizoen-2012/hopi-hari-gaat-voor-inversie-record

And then you realise you're listening to MCR...

By 2015?So we get 3 years of a crap dead-end situation?Bad enough with Saw on it's opening year... Remind me to go on a dead day next year ok?N.B. Archive isn't new people, he's been here before

Some of us reached 100 months ago, but it's nice to see more gain that accolade

Why would anyone want MORE Capybara?Plus they're not from African, so wouldn't fit in...And why couldn't the Lions have their own personal enclosure in the Wanyama area? Expanding backwards could result in that...

But they already have Meerkats, Penguins AND Fennec Foxes :PI agree with Trail of the Kings though... Next on the chopping board I reckon for a revamp... Especially if (I dream) they eventually move the Lions into Wanyama... They need to get a balance really... I agree they need to invest into the park just as much, like they did last year with Wild Asia AND Wanyama... Chessie however have such little investment available to them (and a lack of decisiveness) that they can only do one or the other...Hard to say really...

Facebook actually was really useful for my uni group work last semester... Especially as you can now upload files onto it... Allowed quick group discussion when at home and in uni on different computers... Don't knock it's usefulness till you try it...

Saw The Room again last night...Even better the second time around... Words cannot describe it...This picture can attempt to though...

Looks good...Really have to tip the hat to Thorpe with the marketing for this... Considering this is a completely new thing for them to do, they're really putting it all into it...Criticising the position of the sign though... Is quite pedantic... Putting it in full view of the entrance and exit bridge is a stroke of damn marketing genius... Because it will be the first and last thing people see at the park, and should stick in the mind quite well...Better than just having posters/models/nothing at all now isn't it?

Coaster types ALWAYS go through bandwagons though... Look at SLCs, Boomerang, Stand-ups, Inverted, Accelerators and probably many more... When these types were introduced there was a fairly high amount of boom due to various reasons due to cost, ease of construction and uniqueness (by which I mean, unique to the park/area when it opened)... Indeed, even the Flying coaster had a boom, the only one that really didn't was the Dive Machine, but that easily could have been due to the high cost of ground/tunnel work...There's absolutely nothing wrong with Wing-Riders doing the keyhole element... By that reasoning to a degree, Inverted coasters are all the same as they use leg-choppers on all of them... There are a lot more samey coasters in the world than 3 (potentially 4) Wing-Riders... The American side of the industry is so damn different due to the vast gulf in tastes... Bigger, bolder and brasher are the key things you see in every American park, even Disney do big things with everything... I like the look of the Superman ride (bar the brakes of DEATH) as it is a really unique ride... It's confirmed as a Premier since I posted that stuff yesterday...And if you're expecting Six Flags to give a well detailed story or theme PAST DC Comics? Never gonna happen...

Same for me... I need to scan in those ride photos from my birthday to solve this

Did it enter the Twilight Zone?

^It's probably a lot more difficult to convert to that extra row for Inferno... Especially when considering it will completely change the forces involved on the ride and actually would involve extending the station a little bit...Was a good idea at the time, but oh well...EDIT - Two more pics of X-Flight...Looks really good... YAY FOR B&M!

I hinted nothing, it was a joke directed at Adam since he posted the same info as me only 2 minutes behind, so I had 'ninja'd' him...As Adam has pointed out, it WILL be called X-Flight... Because the Americans seem to be very unimaginative and bland with their ride names to be honest... Even if ride names in general are difficult to make truly unique, at least name your Windseekers something DIFFERENT at each park!

I LIKE Undisclosed Desires :blink:And the MK Jam they played at Wembley, can never find a decent Youtube clip of it though... :glare:On the topic of awesome film music...
