Official rcdb stats put it at 0-111 in 5 seconds... So just over 20mph/s acceleration (granted that's not the exact rate, but converting on the commute is not a fun game on a Friday night)... I think the lamentation of missed opportunity shouldn't be placed in the choice of launch system, LSMs are very different to hydraulics, but can still provide an experience just as insane... Besides, what's better? Instant relief or sustained pleasure? It's also already killed a pigeon! Well done Intamin continuing their proud death cred tradition! (there's a vid on the YouTubes, it's pretty funny)...

That noise is lush, this is why magnetic launches need to be used more in the future... Shame the major ride is about 10 years too late to be of any real impact to the industry... The height and speed race isn't much of a thing in Europe, and it's more surprising they didn't try to have something more like Formula Rossa... Also yay everything has Express Pass!

It's rumour so out there it's likely true... Wonder what changes Vekoma would have in store for a new gen Flyer, the one I rode was ok until the vertical loop made me really ill (but I had similar on Tatsu, so it wasn't solely responsible)... Given how awesome new Vekoma is going so far, a Flyer would be an interesting direction... Would suit the steampunk theme too... Besides, their new ridiculous dark ride can replace Nighthawk and Hollywood Tour... Getting a new coaster first makes sense if getting rid of one...

Paultons redid their entrance a few years back, sure many other parks have done the same... Sure with proper planning and thinking redoing the entrance plaza would be doable in a few months, then the year after you do the bridge... What's happening in Kent has nothing to do with Thorpe's non-refurb of their awful entrance area...

Bet it isn't as awful for the kids as Armageddon at WDS is... The finale going off is ALWAYS followed by the screams and crying of half the audience...

You forgot wolf howls... The music also played in the background with all the sfx playing over it... Kinda weird in hindsight...

I AM better though I get what you mean though, watching a rather well known goon kick off because they weren't able to get on the first public ride of mraws and it was embarrassing for EVERYONE... Tell you what REALLY annoys me, is POVs which involve lots of inane shouting from the person filming it... We KNOW it's a loop you ejit...

Was it 40p?

The joy of inverted commas!

How much of it is purely going into the rumoured California Adventure style redo of the Studios though? Shows what's needed after poor investment decisions to get a park up to standard...

Dollywood Tonnes better than Cedar "I'm just a bigger version of Thorpe and have a highly overrated coaster" Point...

Shouldn't have an attraction where quality is based upon staff availability... It pretty much means that not everyone will get the same experience and that's never good... We all know that anyone at the media night would get it at it's 'best', but it's 'best' should continue into day to day basis...

Think some of the Imagineers are aiming to do something to Studios like they did to California Adventure, which can only be a good thing... Tony Baxter wants the Vincent Price narration back on Phantom Manor too, that'd be AMAZING... Hopefully they'd also do a bit of tarting up of those (ironically) dead areas in between some of the scenes...

It annoys me so much that the tree top isn't the same diameter as the actual Carousel... It kinda messes up the visuals of it a little bit...

The day and night comment is the interesting thing, could mean a whole assortment of things, be it new hotel, new home for the theatre show or a general entertainment area...

Steampunk AND Phantasialand are two words joining together which can only mean good things...

People were terrified on Sub Terra too you know...

We all know how much the British LOVE audience participation don't we?

A 'special ending'? Like one of those Thai massages? If so I'm game...

Grim... What an embarrassment...
