March 28, 20196 yr comment_263812 Much excitement. Any clever types able to work out any of the clues scribbled around, do they give anything away? Fujita is the tornado scale, F5 being the strongest from 261mph. That's it, 261mph Mack Spinner confirmed...
March 28, 20196 yr comment_263814 Underneath Fujitsu is 'squall storm', which is a 'sudden increase in wind speed which last minutes' (as opposed to a gust storm which is an increase in wind speed for seconds). Everything else is pretty meaningless without further context. The V=Dr^2h formula could be related to velocity of a tornado I guess. 6a^2 speed could be anything. So yeah, nothing really aside from fast tornadoes. That in itself could still be a hint towards a launched spinner though I guess.
March 29, 20196 yr comment_263817 Another tweet: Hint at IMA score? Though equally, a hint at wood too. Park are playing with us just a bit... ?
March 29, 20196 yr comment_263823 I really like the way Paultons are marketing this, very refreshing to see clues given away in a fun, but not irritating or self-indulgent way. Fingers crossed the park can scale up the marketing successfully when the time's right and get this project in the limelight.
March 30, 20196 yr comment_263830 It’s not a case of “if I visit”, it’s “when”. Of all the parks in the UK right now, Paultons are one who deserve your money the most!
March 31, 20196 yr comment_263875 Bar Icon and Wickerman this is probably the most excited I have been for a UK project in ages! Paulton have marketed this in such a fun and charming way- it really makes me hopeful that the industry over here isn't completely dominated by Merlin and we have some non-merlin investments going around. I'm really interested to see what coaster we get, but as long as its not a second hand pinfari I'm fine. If its a Mack then I think Paultons will be a must do next year. The area looks very charming nevertheless.

Based off previous tweets where they've mentioned times, they go off MST (since Tornado Springs is American, etc). 5pm MST is midnight tonight. So if something is going to happen, it may well be then. I'd personally only expect a hint at another ride and name rather than anything full blown though, if that.

Just when I think I couldn't love the way they are going about this more. Little touches ❤️❤️
April 2, 20196 yr comment_263904 I actually looked this up to see if Paultons was actually 30KM from Thorpe. Was disappointing to say the least it was much further, but no surprises I guess. Still a quirky piece of advertising. I can feel the burn more than an over cooked Pizza.

April 12, 20196 yr comment_264077 https://www.visittornadosprings.com/ What a charming advertising campaign. It would seem we have a date and details of what it involves looking at the website.
May 1, 20196 yr comment_264294 This was tweeted, drop towers confirmed then! Another tweet you can zoom in on the text.

May 2, 20196 yr comment_264326 Moved and rethemed magma? Moved and rethemed the other two junior drip towers they have? Or new drop towers? If nee will all the others remain? Paultons like their drop towers!
May 7, 20196 yr comment_264423 Hopefully they've relocated their two junior drop towers and Magma get's relocated to their jurassic themed area rather than just situated on its own. Especially as seeing as they have enough drop towers as is ? But guess we'll see!
June 26, 20196 yr comment_265073 Looks like we can expect an announcement of some sorts next Thursday!
July 4, 20196 yr comment_265153 Exciting! The coaster appears to be a clone of Sierra Sidewinder at Knotts. The area looks set to be a fantastic addition to the park and will certainly be making my first visit there next year.
July 4, 20196 yr comment_265154 Fantastic looking addition to the park. And the park did a great job of realising the Lost Kingdom artwork, so I am confident this could be the same. Really looking forward to this developing further!
