pluk Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 I think the main problem would be your spine exiting your body via your neck, leaving your shoulders in the restraints. That would sting a bit. 3Dimensions, Relentless, Olistjj and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieN Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 No, I'm sorry, this coaster would not be safe. Unique concept though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattgwise Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Well it looks better than SW8Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 That's better, but I think if Thorpe got a woodie it'd have an inversion. Wouldn't mind it at Chessie lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L7123456 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 If Thorpe get a woodie, it needs to be an RMC. Preferably a hybrid with inversions. Something similar to the Joker on the Loggers site themed around Old Town would be great imo. CharlieN and 400400 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieN Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 ^Agree. Inversions and a possible launch seem much more marketable to TP's audience than a classic woodie. L7123456 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Stoker Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 In all honesty, I could see anything come to Thorpe in the next few years, but I think what we all want to see is a wooden roller coaster, especially by either RMC, GCI or Gravity Group. A modern wooden roller coaster is something that is desperately needed in the UK. Yes, we have SW8 coming to Alton Towers in 2018, but that seems like more of a family wooden roller coaster. A massive thrilling wooden coaster would be a perfect for any Merlin park, but particularly Thorpe Park as they thrive on building some of the most thrilling rides in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobF Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Thorpe could go for a 2-4-1  or a deal and get both a thill and family woodie with interwinding layouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Well we know already that the one after WC16, will be Derren Brown's Ghost Train 2. Â The WC16 tagline was actually for the toilet refurbishment near the Thorpe Store, considering the code name WC16.
