NoLimits2 is currently in the making, it does look good I must say, the diving machine has been added as well as abrasion marks on the tracks and just a general upgrade for the whole game. Ooh, and you can get custom switch tracks for coasters too. Here is a link Clicky!

I'm sure Thorpe would love this idea , but a good theme there I think, and the yellow lights on the lift could be good, if used in the way that Europa-Park use the smoke and lights on Blue Fire's Launch.

Some day in the future Colossus may be under threat of losing it's world record for biggest number of inversions, that's because Intamin have now released the design plans for a 12-Inversion coaster! However, it contains only 3 heartline rolls, but 5 Corkscrews! It also contains a Pretzel loop, Vertical loop and Cobra roll. Taken from ThemeParkReview, and Intamin's new website. If a park ever does build one of these, it does make me wonder how rough it will be with 5 Corkscrews.

Happy New year to everyone on TPM! Let's hope it's a great year

My favourite lesson is Business Studies, I always look forward to it and got an A* in my first mock exam test. I have a really good teacher for it as well.

I have met Vicki Butler Henderson twice(the fifth gear presenter)-once at Silverstone and once at a Subaru Colin McRae day, I have also seen but not spoke to quite a few other racing drivers and Silverstone related people; due to me living so near. Oh, and I unexpectedly met John Craven in a local Homebase store...

I'm in Brackley, not far from Banbury.

lol at David Walliams on the new programme come fly with me on BBC1, he tried getting on a plane with a Thorpe Park annual pass! This new programme is so funny!

Welcome to the forums Ooh, and you live in Northamptonshire like me!

Wow, you are so lucky; I just had to get all of my Work Experience stuff sorted out for the end of the winter term too and got in at a place I know that does photography and all related things. I would have loved to have gone to Chessie (am I right in saying Thorpe Park does not offer Work Experince?) , but Surrey was not on the list of places we could go. Anyway, I am happy with doing photography and looking forward to my Work Experience, also really enjoy doing the course for it at School.

I think Jessie J - Do it like a dude is also a great song at the moment, also listening to all of the amazing songs on Rihanna's 'Loud' album, Rihanna has so many great songs out at the moment I.e Whats my name and Who's that chick. Black eyed Peas- the time, I don't know what is about this tune but I really like it!

The groundwork has started, if you look over one of the hedges in the sunken garden you can see where they are filling in parts of the island by Stealth. Don't know if they have continued with this over the closed season, but they were working on it for parts of the 2010 season. I think the 'large mud patch' by the bridge was indicated as a possible location for the 2015 coaster, I doubt they will decide to use that for 2012.

I think the new Nickelodeon land is going to be getting a Disk'O or something similar. , if they do get a Disk'O, I will imagine it will be just one of the normal small versions or just a Mega Disk'O, not the 'coaster' version.

I think it will be quite a while before we get told anything else about LC12, I agree with most people in saying that it may have an 'end of the world' sort of theme, and I think it will be a B&M. As for the 2015 coaster, I hope it is an Intamin Blitz coaster, similar to Maverick or Cheetah Hunt at BGT. - Although that is too far ahead to start guessing too much.

Well, IF it is a B&M, I doubt anyone would put one indoors! Thorpe has X:\NWO, anyway.

I wonder if this codename actually resembles anything, it could turn out to be something stupid like Dylan being Candy Holland's cat! Can't wait to find out more!

Cookie dough and Phish food are my favourites , I like all Ben&Jerrys really; only £2.00 in Tesco at the moment!

Well now, seeing as the premium looks quite tempting; I think the best plan for families is for one person to renew as premium, and leave the rest as standards. This way you will have free parking by using the premium. But the only problem with that is that the person with the premium will always have to visit the parks. Just a suggestion I thought of.

I seriously don't understand why PBB have so many fountains and water features, It has gone downhill though since Amanda took it over imo. They could at least replace Bling with a TopScan, it gives a very similar ride experience and should be better with maintenence.

Why are they getting rid of Bling , it is only 6 years old. Apparently though it has been sold off to somewhere, does anybody know of where it is going to end up? Anyway, if I had the choice of any type of Disk-O or Bling; I would choose Bling.

So, if the Imperial Leather contract has run out like on Bubbleworks; will the flume be being re-themed in any way or are the Imperial Leather logo's just going to be painted over?

That wingrider sure looks good at Gardaland. Anyone know if any construction on Krake at Heide Park has started yet?

Well, the new ride is Vekoma Junior Boomerang; so is it this that is going to be themed around Ben 10? If so, they may have well just left it un-themed... I suppose we will have to wait and see what the ride actually is like.

Orlando Thrill Park news!Sort of big news I think... The proposed 'Orlando Thrill park' has had plans come out with details of the rides which are due to open there some time in 2013. They are very exciting I must say!!! Here are some details and links below.Orlando Thrill park general plans & Information from LA times (I didn't post this as text because there is lots of info.) Photo gallery showing the 13 main rides and coasters. (from LA times). These rides are explained below. The park is planned to have 13 new rides from opening, with manufacturers being Vekoma, Mack, Intamin, Mondial, Chance-Morgan, S&S Power and U.S Thrill Rides. Intamin are planned to be the manufacturers of a 425 foot inverted hydraulic launch coaster - very exciting! and a ZacSpin, which will be a small ZacSpin model. The park will also feature a Mega-Splash, a clone of the model at Knotts Berry Farm. Vekoma are making an SLC, Probably one of their popular cloned models like Kong at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. They will also make a Motorbike Launch coaster, a 'Stingray' flying coaster and withChance-Morgan a new type of coaster is going to be made called a 'Pretzel Dive Coaster'. (In my opinion it looks a bit like the old Flashback ride at SF Magic Mountain.) Chance Morgan will also make a flat ride called a 'uni-Coaster'. Mondial are supplying a few rides for the park to, one of them is a flat ride called a 'Splash Over', this is very similar to a Topspin. The second ride being built by Modial is a 'Revolution', This again is very similar to a Huss Giant Frisbee. S&S Power are going to be constructing a 4D Coaster and a Turbo Drop tower for the park. Mack are also proposed to be the manufacturers of a 2nd Launch Coaster, this may be similar to Blue Fire at E-P. U.S Thrill Rides will be making a 'Skyquest' ride where riders are in a harness flying around the park in a similar system to the way a Skyride works. So, interesting news from this future park, the inverted intamin launcher is the most exciting thing in my opinion. Can't wait to find out more plans and news. But remember these are just plans for the park and the owners are the Baker leisure group. (They used to own the freestyle music park.)

I'm glad Stacey won I'm a Celebrity too, on itv2 Bob the medic just gave Gillian a picture of him and Gillian! Bob basically was in every bushtucker due to Gillian fainting/panicking, it was a good series of I'm a celeb though. Can't wait until next years series now!
