EC!

I don't follow the same mental patterns as "normal" people so I'm probably going to love Baco in October hehehehe

People have been killed on Perilous Plunge (knotts), Drenched (Oakwood), Bizarro (SFNE), Superman ride of steel (SF America), La tour Eiffel (Hop Hari), Drop Tower: Scream zone (CF Great America) and now Inferno (Terra Mitica). All are the result of a malfunctioning harness or one not fitted correctly and in either case the restraint has failed. Baco's restraint failed last year so its easy to see why people are putting pressure on intamin at the moment.

I am very much looking forward to the trip reports and your views on the coasters, you lucky get!!! (Very jealous is I)

If there is no queueline toilets, probably pee in a bottle or just hold it in... which would be painful.

Anybody who waits that long are officially dumb, that wait is just a lot of nope nope NOPE!!

People being classy as ever at Thorpe, in an attack that broke a man's jaw during the MOS night... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-28217965

only the 1st one but then that one isn't that bad. The 2nd inverted drop is very smooth.

I'm guessing there would be chest size restrictions but then I haven't heard of actual weight restrictions as such.

Some reports are saying that the person was overweight which might be a credible reason why the restraint failed in the first place, what with zacspins being very agressive on the on the restraints even with a small person. RIP to the family though.

I find Smiler a lot smoother then Saw, even though Saw apart from one absolutely horrendous time, hasn't been all that bad this year, I have ridden Smiler on every train this year on pretty much most of the rows and I have had next to nothing in roughness apart from the jolt on the cobra, maybe because I prefer it to Saw, I enjoy it a lot more and that might block out uncomfy-ness who knows.

I hope those injured get better! It says a branch fell on the track, they are definitely going to do more tree checks after this!

I linked the original story in the Terra Mitica topic yesterday too

I think if they decided to clone the Orkanen Vekoma layout then we'd have a more exciting ride tbh

POV!!

School kids??

A 18 year old has died on Monday at five o'clock in the afternoon at the amusement park Terra Mitica, Benidorm, to fly out of attraction 'Inferno', after failing harness protection and the victim sank. As confirmed by the Security council ELMUNDO.es Benidorm, José Marcet, the now deceased is a 18 year old, of Icelandic origin, who was on holiday with her parents and a friend. They were staying in Torrevieja and had decided to spend a day at the amusement park in Benidorm. Apparently, the young man has been thrown of Attraction "Inferno" and has precipitated to the ground, suffering multiple fractures and serious injuries. The roller coaster in which is registered the event is included in the Rome area, was opened in 2007 and provides up to 360 degrees turns. It speeds up to 60 miles per hour are reached. Although until the scene has shifted a unit of Urgent Medical Assistance Service (SAMU), although the doctors have been unable to save the life of the young. The Scientific Police have opened an investigation to determine what went wrong and the police proceeded to seal the attraction. Meanwhile, the High Court of Justice of the Valencian Community (TSJCV) reported that the trial court number 2 in Benidorm has opened a cause for the death of this person. Judge expected in the coming days the police report after which decide on the measures it deems necessary to find out what happened. source: http://www.elmundo.es/comunidad-valenciana/2014/07/07/53badcbb268e3e5b288b45b5.html

I know I meant just in this case anyway

People might have to dip them in disinfectant tanks, I know they do it down for the flow rider where I work, as it prolongs wetsuit life bit then again I wouldnt know if they implement this or not, I think I'd bring my own wetsuit if they didn't as that would jut be minging.

As it is another fun fair ride it will probably die as fast as Samurai has and will probably break down a lot because of the amount of load it's subjected to because it is being used so much more then it is meant to.

Interesting on the fact it will break all the records, if thats the case for Gardaland then I guess this dive machine would have to break these stats. Height: 109ft tall (Blue Tornado) Not that hard to beat. Speed: 56mph (Raptor) Length: 3,379ft long (Mammut) I think maybe less likely. Inversions: 5 (Blue Tornado) Again for a dive coaster unlikely. Drop angle: 62 degrees. For a dive coaster easy peasy! Tbh as it is Gardaland's 40 year anniversary of being open, I feel it needs to be a special ride not one that lasts 10 seconds after the drop, like its older brother Oblivion, although it wouldnt surprise me if it does.

No, the summer nights tickets are separate to normal ones hence why you pay different prices for each ticket, summer nights being £16 for normal GP and a standard ticket being £48.50 or something like that.

I think they advertised it as minimal queueing and if you have been there since 10am and its been busy from then till 6pm with 1hr plus queues, I'd be very relieved with a 15 minute queue, especially as everyone is off soon and it will get hectic sooner or later, a 15 min wait for something like Saw is a gift on a saturday, and I think they advertised it as minimal queues not zero queues correct me if I'm wrong, but with 2000 people in the park I think it would be a little silly to expect 0 minutes for every single ride there. Especially when sometimes batchers can be slow due to tiredness as it would be a long long day for them.

Yes, so going to do this ride!! Plans! AMAZIBALLS!!!!

That has its own topic
