Sheepie Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Can I also just add, that mini site is fantastic. Loving the music and background images. This could really be a world class attraction, hopes it lives up to expectations.I feel this ride will capture the essence of Oblivion and Nemesis in terms of theme... Nemesis with the restraining of the "beast" and then Oblivion with the secret government facility theme blended throughout. In fact this could be the best themed ride Merlin has installed if said landscaping goes ahead. Get me to Gardaland now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I was just about to suggest a sort of combo between Nemesis and Oblivion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Well great minds think alike Dan! :PStill can't get enough of the music from that video, and also the short ambient loop played on the minisite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Okay so I might have just downloaded that video and put it on my iPod... I'm totally not a geek though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Users Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 The ambient loop on the despite being very short is indeed very suiting. I am wondering how the main ride theme is going to play out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPGG Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 This makes me even more hyper for LC12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 It's a shame LC12 won't have the awesome alien-bug-dinosaur trains though. They look so damn cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPGG Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 LC12 may have even better, I'm thinking plane wings or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Oh my days....Why did we get lumbered with dross like Saw and Th13teen and Italy gets a fantastic looking rollercoaster that has a sex appeal most human beings could only dream off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPGG Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 SAW and 13 are the best rides in TP and AT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 SAW and 13 are the best rides in TP and AT^ That's your opinion... not fact! ;)Still keep watching the video. Those restraints look mightily awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 And... to be fair...Gardaland has had its fair share of dross.Sequoia Adventure, anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 SAW and 13 are the best rides in TP and ATLOL... I believe many on here would disagree with that...I agree with Mark... Raptor looks like pure awesome... NOM NOM NOM!Plus I'm looking forward to Sequoia Adventure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPGG Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I love how Raptor crashing through the broken steel tower before the inline twist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP Daniel Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Looks great, trains are wonderfully designed, great elements of theming such as the toppling tower around the track, and it looks like it glides around the track really well. I can't wait until we, in this country, have an opportunity to ride a coaster on a similar scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Part Three in the 'Awesome Videos of Raptor' series! This time we see more testing, and... A close up on the seats and restraints! Enjoy! Man, I can't wait for next year. Coaster XTREME, Sheepie, deleted and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Ah man, as if we weren't spoiled enough. The whole development is looking phenomenal. That some of the best landscaping I've seen Merlin do, even in those Tussauds glory days. I'm extremely impressed.*Off to watch again* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 NOM! NOM! AND THRICE NOM!Omg, seriously... Cannot bloody wait for this beast now... It looks like the best addition to any Merlin park since they've acquired Tussauds... And possibly even better than such things as Ramses and Fuga del Atlantide already at the park...Honestly... Start theming stuff like this in the UK please... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke_A Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 New Video of Raptor , this one features someone riding the coaster, hopefully they will upload a proper POV soon! It looks so smooth, and those restraints look really secure too, almost too secure, but I'm sure they will be fine. Can't wait until we get something like this in 2012 at Thorpe!
