Hyperia Speculation and Construction Thread
I thought the airport imposed height limit was 500ft.

Oh Merlin. Delays happen with new tech. Delays happen with poor management. I have a feeling both are to blame.

Hyperia Speculation and Construction Thread
They will just have to become clever with space. X, slammer samurai, loggers, rumba can all go on the chopping block when needed. There is still plenty of space.

Due to flooding I believe digging beyond a certain depth is not allowed.

Hyperia Speculation and Construction Thread
Thorpe are not allowed to reclaim anymore land because of the water table. If you look up the mtdp you can see the land Thorpe has permission for. It also says the heights that can be built to. While they can be renegotiated it is unlikely that they will apply for a ride higher than the stated heights.

The mania logo on mobile is just off center to a point where it is annoying.

Long Term Plan
As 10 year plans go that is a very empty plan. 1 coaster and some accommodation over the space of 10 years?! I think I can safely cross chessington off my watch list, best of luck to them in there very busy 10 years ahead of them.

Political Discussion
I got that information from the local newspaper when they first introduced it. Clearly not the most reliable source. 20mph is fine in areas near schools, not everywhere. No one listens and to say it is environmentally friendly when it has no evidence at all. Elected morons who don't understand science and basic reasoning.

The academy plan is stupid but that's what you get when you make the education minister someone who has no idea about education. The Tory's and the NHS is an issue I don't understand. They have been pouring more and more money in and asking doctors to work longer and as a result everyone hates them. The NHS needed infrastructure investment about 10 years ago so they could keep up with increasing demand. Instead labour chose to ignore it and the coalition did nothing as they could never agree.

They don't cover much at all. It's not even compulsory. All they need is 1 lesson over the course of the year. The whole education system needs seriously fixing. Something no party has yet offered a viable solution for.

I really wish out education system would educate people about voting and how spoiled ballots are important. It's crazy they are taught how to solve quadratics but don't even touch on how to vote or fill in a tax return.

Planet Coaster - new theme park sim from Frontier makers of Elite: Dangerous
I do, it's becoming a bit samey. Hopefully that will be fixed in a couple of weeks. Oh and it's an alpha not a beta

The sw8 plans show a new smokehouse place so you will have to wait for your BBQ.

The police force take no action on speeding in 20 zones (equipment isnt accurate enough) which currently is the whole city. The police informed the council of this before introducing it but ignored them anyway. So the council spent ten's of thousands on painting 20 everywhere. There is 4 20's painted on my road just incase you forget the speed limit every 100m.

Political Discussion
Well the opinions voiced in comments on various matters tend to the left or right wing. Enough posts and a good memory you can work out where someone is on the political spectrum and make an educated guess on who they would vote for. It's not the most accurate thing but I know who most likely would back me up in a political debate. I can't talk for Tommy but that is what I meant by my statement. I class myself as very political (like an argument too much) and as a result I try to profile people. I would love to be an MP so drawing political opinions from all sorts of places is something I like to do.

There is always the odd person that surprises me but most of the time you can tell where they are on the political spectrum. Often I work it out when the topic of how can Merlin fix this and that comes up.

I'm rather curious to find out what the forum thinks of the green party. Having a green MP and a green council my views on them seem to be against the norm to those who don't have them in a position of power. I guess I want to find out if my opinion on them is actually different to the GP.

iOS Thorpe Park Mobile Application & Virtual Queue
When you get into the maths of the RnR system you quickly realise that virtual queuing for everyone doesn't work and will not reduce your queue time. However you can find the 20 page argument discussion on that on the RnR thread as I don't really fancy repeating it here. As for contactless payment I have no idea.

Wicker Man
The ride has a lot of corners hugging the ground and it seems to keep its speed very well seeing as the penultimate 180 degree turn is only 3m lower than the first drop.

Wicker Man
This is a single track wooden coaster by the looks of things. Zooming in on the station there is only 1 line and the words 'Station Slopes downwards' and then states the heights of either end which works out as 0.5m difference . Something very common for old fashioned wooden coasters. Something also to note is the high point of the ride is 18m with the rides station being 0m.

Wicker Man
That is a very short circuit after the lift/launch. The corners are that you would find on a Woodie and would explain the wideness of it. Likewise it could be something completely different.

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
Don't set your expectations too high. It's better to set them too low and be surprised than too high and be dissapointed. Most of the budget will have gone on headsets and animation. Animation is very expensive and new tech is also pricey. There seems to be so much going on my current concern is how it's all coming together.

Bolliger and Mabillard
I thought Stealth didn't count as a hyper as its a launch. Portaventure is easy and cheap to get to. Six Flags great adventure is easy to get to if you ever find yourself in new York. If you work hard enough and generate the money then you can easily visit the great coasters.
