Ian-S Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I'm under an NDA that prevents me from confirming anything other than who I work for so if these people are leaking info they're either not under an NDA or have no clue what one entails. I also had to sign an NDA a few years ago that gagged me completely, I couldn't even confirm the companies name let alone what I was working on until after a specific date.

swooddow Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 That's very true about all these NDA's , basically we won't know a date until Thorpe officially announce it . Not gunna lie, I feel like we have waited a lifetime for this ride , I'm just so praying its going to be the most mind bending, eye popping, scariest ride. . I have no doubt it will be , and should almost challenge those out in the states , in terms of themeing and technology ! We we just need a date now ! Pppllleeaaasseee!

Coaster Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 It's probably been mentioned already, but I've just noticed that the height restriction for this is 1.4m! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The height restriction for Nemesis Sub Terra is 1.4m too however, and that's only a small drop section :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Well Sub Terra is actually a 1.2 for the ride part, the 1.4 is due to the nature of the attraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Completely random point, but one thing I've noticed is how the wooden panels in the queue line have been 'aged up' in recent weeks, with green paint to look like mould I assume... From TPM From TPG, a couple of weeks after the TPM photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchada04 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 It's detail though. I know the run down look is repetitive and doesn't look great for a park to have loads of it, but at least this run down look is being done to a high quality and not just waiting for the natural surroundings to help it. yeah and Kerfuffle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked good before in my opinion - nice details on the posters and a rust effect on the metalwork etc. but still looking presentable. Now it just looks like most wooden walls/fences at the park already - but as you mentioned, it would look better if the mould idea hadn't been done before on several other rides/attractions. Guess I'm just fussy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchada04 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 It's like an age restriction. On average, people of 1.4 metres are 10 years plus with 1.2 being 7/8 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchada04 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Did Sub Terra have a recommended age? I can't remember, if it didn't then that's why. Can't say this is related to DB though, legit might have a 1.4 ride section plus the theme of the ride gives the 13 recommended age.

There is no age restriction though, just an age recommendation. 'Scary' rides (by which I mean rides with a dark / horror theme) always have high height restrictions, so that no one under that height can ride it; something covered by the park's T&Cs. Height restrictions are easy to control, since it is easy to check if someone is x height or not. There's a nice age-height correspondence too, so on average, kids hit 1.4m when they're about 10, like Adam says. Age restrictions are a lot more difficult to enforce (how can you prove if a kid who says he's 13 actually is 13, for example). So to have a strict age restriction comes at a cost of a lot of hassle, so is never worth it on a large scale. It's also something that isn't really covered in a park's T&Cs (usually, only special events are age restricted, not all year round attractions. Changing the T&Cs to cover this would be a huge pain). Having the height restriction and age recommendation works well. The height restriction means that kids who are tall enough to ride are a couple of years away from the age recommendation (as opposed to several years out), meaning that they themselves, and whoever they are with, can make a better judgement as to whether they are suitable for the attraction. Sub Terra had a recommended age restriction of 12+ I believe. Hob's Pit and PWH has a 12 age recommendation is a 1.5m height restriction for similar reasoning too.

J.S217 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I know Hobs Pit has a 12A rating and a 1.5 height restriction due to gore effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3Dimensions Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Is Dinosaur really scarier than Alien Encounter? Never been to any of the Disney parks outside of Paris but I've read that AE is the scariest ride that Disney has ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
