    I think it’s quite clever… the vast majority of it is removable, to make a big events space. Those benches, the trailer screen, even the fencing in front of it.

    Keep it bland, and it could be quite a versatile space.

    There used to be one of the timber towers visible just next to the gates where Slammer currently is, but its long gone now. At least, I think thats what it was from. Bizarre thing to build otherwise! Back when it was a nice green lawn!

    Just noticed, have they got rid of the old timber building near Stealth? Bit of a tiny Bronze age house or something?

    I'm intriuged by the girl whos life was saved by a ride on Colossus? Can only assume she got a headache from the roughness and went to hospital, at which point they found something wrong with her?

    Of the launched coaster type thing, I much prefer Stealth to say Rita - Rita has its charm, but Stealth is just incredibly high impact. I just wish the drop went underground for a bit! Some massive negative G's would be amazing.

    Very odd.
    The brakes on the car are hydraulic, so when they fail due to a loss of power the car would just swing freely. But the pictures of firemen on the ride suggest the brakes are locked (unless they strapped the car to the main body to stop it swinging... Or there's a manual lock to stop it swinging).
    The main arm is counterbalanced, powered by electric motors so again with a loss of power, it would just gradually descend ... Unless the balance is so precise that its perfectly balanced, which seems unlikely. In theory it would just swing down as Vortex does.
    Seems more likely one of the motors seized, thus why it couldn't drop down. If its true they were cutting through restraints though, no chance it's opening tomorrow, which is odd as BBC is listing that too!
