rollerross11 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Think it the first time the cars go round wheels would be squeaky. Quote
A-Kid Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 The wheels may ether be wet or the squeaking is the up-stop wheels hitting the track on negative G moments.I must say, that does look impressive. It gets around those corners just as fast as Maverick. Should be good if thats the speed it will actually run at. Quote
KingVeveraine Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 ^ It's still breaking in so in theory it should get a little faster. Quote
Jamie_Hk Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 It's so exciting to see a car on the track, actually moving it makes the whole thing seem even more exciting :PI'm really pleased that we've finally seen a video, can't wait to see some more real soon.And it just looks amazing, it seems to be running smoothly and yeah, woo. Quote
Will Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 It looks a lot faster than Nemesis or Colossus Quote
Sam P Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Omg I can't wait to ride now. The speed it goes around looks fast. Can't wait now. Bring on March 14th. Quote
Whiteknuckle Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 OMFG, this loooks amazing, excuse me while I have a Saw the ride orgasm Quote
rollerross11 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 hey just wondering are they not having the little tunnel things before and after the lift hill and drop no more. Quote
TraX Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 hey just wondering are they not having the little tunnel things before and after the lift hill and drop no more.Remember, that little tunnel thing is drawn in concept, so won't be exactly like it. However from what we've seen, you can see it will still have the head chopper section at the bottom of the drop..metal blades, covered in blood... OUCH! Quote
Sidders Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 I have too admit, this is the best video Thorpe have released so far! And it's nice to see that the Immelman exit has a very nice whip to it - should offer quite a bit of force. And the Air-Time Hill looks gorgeous! The car seems to sail over it just as it should be done, we can expect a lot of Air-Time on that beauty. Quote
James Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 I'm getting quite excited about this now, I hope we get to see a test run on the 14th .The cars are looking good too, love the Face your fears slogan on the side. Quote
hammersley Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Ive need been to Thorpe Park but I have got interested since 2006 when I first heard about Stealth and looked a lot into the park. This video makes me want to come to the park even more. Defo trip this year Quote
Theme Park bloke Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Do you live near to the park or far away?This footage is great, it seems a loud, just like Colossus is when it's running, so I guess, unlike Stealth, the supports haven't been filled in with sand? But to see a train finally hit the track and go around is wicked! It certainly goes through the inline twists well and looks fab, the thing that makes it look fab is just a little car unlike a long train going through the inlines.Is it me or does it look cute, just one little car at a time working it's way through? It's a first for Thorpe, as we're used to long trains wrapping themselves around the tracks, whereas this has kinda been seen at Chessington and Alton Towers before, with Dragons Fury and Oblivion cars.Is that really the speed of the tower lift? That's slow! I expected to see it winched up at the speed of Dragon Fury's lift hill. Mind you, the way the cars will hit it, you'll be taken up the first 25% of the tower by that wonderful thing known as gravity. It looks a lot faster than Nemesis or ColossusYes, also don't forget that the commissioning of the ride also involves getting the exact speed for official sources.OMFG, this loooks amazing, excuse me while I have a Saw the ride orgasm We'll excuse you.

James Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Mind you, the way the cars will hit it, you'll be taken up the first 25% of the tower by that wonderful thing known as gravity.I don't want to see your dissapointed reaction then when it hits the block brakes before the lift hill. Quote
TimR Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Is the station going to be that bright? I thought it was going to be realy dark inside to create atmosphere becuase it looks like the car comes into the station without going through a dark bit first. Quote
Kevin Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Do not deface that amazing logo ever again. Quote
hammersley Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Do you live near to the park or far away?I live in Cheadle, Stoke which is 5 Miles from Alton Towers where I also work part time lol. I really want to come to thorpe just to try the four big coasters: Colossus, Nemesis Inferno, Stealth and now SAW: The Ride Quote
Theme Park bloke Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 I don't want to see your dissapointed reaction then when it hits the block brakes before the lift hill.Ahh. Is the station going to be that bright? I thought it was going to be realy dark inside to create atmosphere becuase it looks like the car comes into the station without going through a dark bit first.Yeah, I can see where you're coming from, but the station may not be finished yet.I live in Cheadle, Stoke which is 5 Miles from Alton Towers where I also work part time lol. I really want to come to thorpe just to try the four big coasters: Colossus, Nemesis Inferno, Stealth and now SAW: The RideIf you come, I will show you around Thorpe. Quote
dj olly c Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Is the station going to be that bright? I thought it was going to be realy dark inside to create atmosphere becuase it looks like the car comes into the station without going through a dark bit first. it will be more dark the theming is yet two be finished and the lights and stuff have to be fitted so no it wont be like that at all Quote
JoshC. Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Do not deface that amazing logo ever again.I'd say it was a much need improvement. :PI wonder how much effort they actually put into the amking of that video. There are multiple cameras and camera angles all taken from one ride circuit. It seems very professional for a relatovely short clip aimed at fan boys and getting the message across further (as they haven't added it to their site or anything). I can't wait to see the official TV advert, considering what we are getting, and have already got, had been very good. Quote
Dan9 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Is the station going to be that bright? I thought it was going to be realy dark inside to create atmosphere becuase it looks like the car comes into the station without going through a dark bit first.I doubt the station will look exactly like that, they still have lots of work to do still. Otherwise it'd be opening in February and not March. Quote
SafeUpHigh Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 But the video was probably taken on december 13th when the first test runs occured. Quote
Theme Park bloke Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 I'd say it was a much need improvement. I know, it was a quickie. Quote
James Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 I think he meant it was a much needed improvement on the McDonalds logo Quote
