Doubt he'll be working for Towers much longer... The pre-show has been making the rounds (a verbal description, not a vid/pics), all seems a bit of an attempt to give it a story or something... Certainly going to have to be something to judge upon viewing (but it has to beat Baron 1898)... -
Wonder how many of the pop badges will be on Ebay next day......
Forever the optimist eh Josh?
You make the Fish sad.
Funny thing is that's not even concept art, that's an actual picture of Thorpe...
After all that effort in reducing the height restriction too The short termism thing for parks is never good...
Allows them to do more things differently I guess, what with them originally coming in on Flying Coasters... Namely those long drawn out inlines seen on this and Banshee... Swarm seems to be the worst for tightening, I don't recall anything like that on Raptor (Flug was just bouncing around too much to notice anything else)... I honestly cannot remember Oblivio having them or not...
Pfft, those restraints are fine...
I don't think parks should really be wanting articles in the Daily Mail tbh...
Car park coaster </3
Wardley changed the entire profile of the first drop and would've changed more if he could (TT Q&A) Why aren't we allowed to be constructively critical of this? I believe they couldn't have build down into the woodland where half of flume was, which is a real shame... But given that this was a very last minute ride choice due to Smiler creating all the problems in the world, what else do we expect? Problem now there's seem to be some sudden hype because a few people who've ridden it are unsurprisingly being overwhelmingly positive over it... Which has always happened...
Wonder where I've seen that thought before? I literally saw nothing from the trials, but could be interesting to see how it goes on Symbolica...
I pondered the idea today of getting RMC to use their new Raptor track to make a modern day Wild Mouse coaster... An underbanked turn by the Ghost Train building would be incredible...
I like how we keep saying this as if it's actually quite a difficult feat for parks to actually do... Hell if Drayton had built Alpina Blitz it would've wiped the floor with 70% of all UK coasters...
There are rumours of 3 trains, but it'll only hit around 1000pph (which is still decent enough tbh)... If it runs like Wodan (at least, until Fastrack exists) and the pre-shows are insanely faffy then the queue should move pretty constantly... But then Fastrack and pre-show will mean that this is not the case...
I doubt we'll see much scenery/theming around the ride beyond the station/pond area... Theming is not really what you go to Blackpool for...
Shame it'll never look like that because (delete where appropriate) be only open at night for a week/the smoke will have run out by April/the fire doesn't work/the theming element has fallen apart/the park is closed due to cuts... It does look good though, but I'm awaiting to see the response after it's bedded in to see the true reactions to it (I seem to recall anything new is the best ride ever on most accounts, especially given the number of vlogs/blogs/FB groups these days)...
Limited edition rust from the rotten supports?
You've already bought one haven't you Josh?
