THE SWARM: Construction Updates
To be fair, the idea was sound, just someone cocked up in the manufacture...And the ride pays for it

^Peter said LIKE air... Which is (according to rcdb) 46.6mph...Besides, it'll hit it's top speed for what? A handful of seconds? Like every other ride in the world? Does it matter that much?

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
This is arguable actually... It's a definite assumption, and is quite a regular occurance in such equations mainly as it helps simplify the equation and usually won't cause toooooo much of an effective difference...Using both an actual value of velocity for the lift hill and assuming it is zero are valid methods...

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
There are more factors to consider than just using a suvat equation...Gotta take the weight of the train, air resistance and a few other bits and bobs as well when we're working out the actual speed... Constant acceleration is a decent enough assumption, but very rarely do rides do that...Conservation of Energy and using Potential and Kinetic Energy equations could well give us another answer...

Walt Disney World Resort
I have never seen the point in trying to do more than one park in a day... Especially when they're as far apart as they are at WDW...I've only really done two parks in one day once in Florida (Animal Kingdom and Studios) due to time constraints, and quite regularly at Disneyland Paris, because it's a lot easier to trundle in between the parks...But in Florida... What's the point? Including both waterparks as well? It just doesn't add up to me...

Another point... Kawasemi and Piraten are clones...How does that work when other clones get clumped together?EDIT - Actually, why are some clones allowed and some aren't? No bloody sense at all that makes as the two Rock n Roller Coasters are separate... Yet the Batmans aren't?Consistency...

Rant
Would like to see them attempt to go around Towers or the Translyvania/Fury hill at Chessie...Also, I'd like to have a rant about the McCanns... What with their new book and begging the PM for help... They need a slap... Because there were only TWO people responsible for Maddie's dissapearance, and that's them... You never leave children unsupervised and they're lucky only one was taken...It does annoy me how they get support for their own bloody idiocy when people who try but unfortunately cannot take care for whatever reason get punished... Absolute arse I say...

Fastrack Prices
£10.50 for 4 rides?When the hell did that happen?Although, how Towers get away with £10 for Thirteen and Rita... Sigh, I miss the days of free Fast-track that was easy to cheat on

Captain EO is probably better than Honey I Shrunk the Audience...Epcot is such a mission... But a cool park regardless...

That... And it tries to attempt brain surgery in the worst way possible :PPlus, themed experiences don't get highly rated... Revenge of the Mummy is 73 for crying out loud... Atlantis Adventure is the highest "exceptionally themed" experience, and who bums that? Oh yeah... :)EDIT - Sod it, Pegasus (EP) is 258 places too low... What a crap poll...

Chessington General Discussion
I do hope they've briefed staff about the possiblity of that, otherwise I can imagine very amusing results...

I put this forward on Coasterforce last year as was told that it was because the all their spinners are too alike to each other that they don't deserve their own place, by an American...It's just the Americans in general...And I know TPR aren't any good, but it pisses me off how sheep-like some enthusiasts are (and not just TPR)...

Les Coogan is just part of the marketing of the ride...To paraphrase Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, "Marketing doesn't have to have a point, that's why it's marketing"...It's like with all these random clues and stuff which mean very little in the main run, watching people on forums trying desperately to work out what they mean is a very entertaining part of the all show and makes people interested... Which is the primary goal of marketing...More Les please!

Edited for accuracy...In actual seriousness, why is it that all the Intamin airtime machines actually get so much love? Millenium Force and Expedition GeForce are both very over-rated and are certainly not top 10 material...EDIT - More to say...There is a gap of 70 places between Nemesis (UK #1) and Stealth (UK #2)... That shows a lot of things really about the quality of our rides, especially as Oblvion (#3) is followed by Speed at Oakwood... That, or shows the bias of the thing...PLUS, they still think all Mauer Sohne spinners are the SAME! Stupid poll...Mirabilandia has two in the top 10... A park which no-one on here seems to have even been to (aside from NeilFever)... Which leads me to believe why it's so highly rated... Hear nothing about the actual park but Katun and iSpeed are amazing apparently...Just meh... Intamin the best coaster manufacturer? When the top 3 have all had some problems associated with them? Do me a favour...

It's not black track, so I doubt going to Merlin since all their coasters have been black... (Saw/Thirteen/Krake/Raptor)

But buggy racing is practically a sport in the American themeparks...."AND IT'S TWO CHINS COMING IN ON THE INSIDE! BUT WAIT, FOUR BELLIES IS CHARGING THROUGH, FOUR BELLIES HAS OVERTAKEN TWO CHINS AND HAS WON THE HOT-DOG!"
