Well in terms of reaching speed it is. A ride with a higher drop has a higher terminal velocity, Also the fact that much taller rides like Thunder Dolphin in japan can't even get to 85mph means there is no way possible that big one can do that. I believe the height claim is from how high it is from sea level so that is sort of legit but the speed one even with the "slow, medium and fast" trains could not reach that speed. -
So a ride with a 50ft or so larger drop (shambhala) is some how 2mph slower then Big one? Because that makes sense... #BPBlogic. Plus with air it was the world's first of that type (B&M) and that is what they were getting at.
-
I see BPB are exaggerating the figures of Big ones speed...
-
Inverted drop 1 Inverted Drop 2 you can see Jamie that the first drop is a lot more twisty and the second is alot more drawn out.Still the Photo in question it looked like they were sorting out the little bit just before the first drop. Any way great to see them giving it TLC.
-
No it wasnt, the second inverted drop was always more drawn out like that. I much prefer the 2nd one anyway as the hang time is awesome! EDIT: I like the fact with the track, is that they have either sanded of all the old paint on the track to repaint the thing, or its literally how bad the trains scratched the paint. Some people thought they were repainting part of the track gold lol
-
Lets have a spin fest if there is a meet this yeah. first one to make their passengers puke WINS!
-
Excited by this can't wait to see the full extend of the new development!
-
If you look closely at the last picture I linked you will be able to see what one of Oakwoods new attractions are... Camelots Tea cups.
-
Yeah I did back in 2003, in the front row. The drop does launch you out of your seat which was scary as hell but so fun. Shame all the subsequent things that happened though.
-
Looks like I wont be going to this one lol, have fun with yourselves and you lovely bunch... Probs be like June my first proper meet now...
-
Same from me, I love the fact that now Neverland is sort of done they are braching out to other parts of the park, hopefully like neverland, they install decent rides!

Hasn't the entrance only been recently renovated, and that is why it is a lime green colour

Oakwood have posted this pcture on their facebook development page of them Refurbishing their Restaurant next to Hydro/Drenched! The extra 40% of customers has started to make things become new again!

I hopes for a coaster even if it is a used one because used ones are good! But while that could be true for this year Jamie, I think it also means the next 4 or so years I just hope it is something good!

Just uploaded some videos onto YouTube of me on Barnstormer and Big thunder Railroad at Magic Kingdom back in 2005. I'm always the little blonde kid 1 row infront on the right Big Thunder Barnstormer
-
Yes it seems like it is a running theme with thorpe...
-
I asked about that when I went to the park last time. Somehow they have broken the shot part of the ride an operator told me and the manufacturer was coming soon. Its probably fixed now for the new season.
-
Maybe they could get some Huss things soon, seeming that Pirate boat and Bounce are made by them. Maybe zamperla, hopefully they will buy some stuff from either, hopefully they dont get an air race anytime soon though they are getting very common.
-
Thorpe needs to stop doing this on their FB page, its so bad lol
-
-
I know its probably nothing big but what do you guys think they are putting in this year like they said in the press statement?
