January 15, 20169 yr comment_226188 A coaster in the canada creek area would fit in really well, especially a woodie. however, they have cleared the land behind swarms island for the next big installation haven't they? I would love to see a B&M hyper or woodie go in here, a mack megacoaster would be good but they have stealth already so I'm not quite sure if this would happen although a mack launch and intamin launch are completely different.
January 15, 20169 yr comment_226203 ^ My future Thorpe competition entry was for a B&M hyper on the island behind The Swarm. My ride was called Slipstream and had a futuristic vibe. Anyway, I'd love a hyper coaster.

Anyway, I'd love a hyper coaster. I could really see a Hyper getting installed at Thorpe, this is a coaster that the UK lacks and it would fit in very well at Thorpe especially as they could exceed at least 200ft. Merlin like to market their rides as world firsts but it could be the UK's tallest coaster.
January 15, 20169 yr comment_226207 Two Coasters in Canada Creek area for example a reasonable sized Wooden coaster and a custom layout Mack Coaster . then after that a B&M Hyper at the back of the Park along with a Loggers Leap replacement . 2017 Mack Coaster is planned and Loggers is Replaced with another Mack log flume/ New Mascots are introduced 2018 Mack Coaster opens to the public with construction of the wooden coaster commencing 2019 Wood Coaster Opens B&M Hyper begins construction next too the Swarm Island. 2020 Hyper opens up along with a Trackless dark ride 2021 Rumba rapids is revamped The Farm Island opens back up as a Zoo with a Boat service from the Sunken Gardens.
January 15, 20169 yr comment_226208 Two Coaster in Canada Creek area for example a Reasonable sized wooden coaster and a custom layout intamin lite. a woodie would be perfect for this area! and could be well themed if merlin put in the effort. however, I'm not too keen on the look of intamin lite although my opinion could change once I have ridden one.

January 15, 20169 yr comment_226210 I had a change to put Mack instead. mack megacoaster like helix would be ace
January 15, 20169 yr comment_226213 After WC16? There should be, on the assumption Logger's is no more, a GCI woodie and an Intamin flume on that site would be nice. Failing that, a Mack mega or B&M Hyper would be good as well.

January 15, 20169 yr comment_226239 Intamin mega lite in Canada creek... Mack make a coaster which has a similar layout to the megalite. there is one in france. Mack is more reliable and more comfortable therefore a mack version would make sense
January 15, 20169 yr comment_226243 Thorpe basically need something with airtime. It'll offer a very different sensation to all the other coasters on park. They also need a major family coaster if they want to seriously be considered as a family park. So get a coaster satisfying those two boxes is a must in my eyes. Also, just thinking out loud here, and this is more an idea for a low-key investment, but I'd actually love to see Thorpe get a Junior Vekoma Boomerang. Yeah, so the throughput is naff, but if it's marketed as a coaster aimed at kids / younger families, it might balance itself out at a park like Thorpe.
January 15, 20169 yr comment_226244 A Junior Boomerang would be a better investment for Chessington IMO, especially considering that they are in dire need of a new coaster of some sort - although high throughput would be preferable.
January 15, 20169 yr comment_226245 ^But Piraten looks incredible. Alpina Blitz is better in a lot of ways (primarily the restraints)... Can't we be underwhelmed by Derren Brown first?
January 16, 20169 yr comment_226314 A Junior Boomerang would be a better investment for Chessington IMO, especially considering that they are in dire need of a new coaster of some sort - although high throughput would be preferable. Tbh chessigton should do this but as a dueling coaster for throughput aka same design but mirrored, with both tyre lifts adjacent to each other and the exit abit like grand nationals
January 20, 20169 yr comment_226760 I just want the next coaster to be a B&M. I don't want it to be an inferior coaster of a good model (except it being an inferior B&M hyper that tops 200ft and 1,300m).
January 20, 20169 yr comment_226763 B&M at a park for younger families? I mean yes they made that odd invert in one of those Happy parks but I don't really see it fitting in at Chessington. A junior launcher or a single inversion sort of ride would be much more appropriate in my eyes!

January 21, 20169 yr comment_226799 They will need to negotiate a new mtdp to get a better length coaster first. I don't want a 850m mega lite.
