Ricky Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I think if they were to try a fastrack vending machine they would put it on a more popular attraction such as SAW - The Ride or THE SWARM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Seems a bit pointless putting that there as the fastrack shop is less then a minute walk away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 It's probably a Retail Unit being made, that way they can remove the barrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipper Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Its a queue line shop, like the ones in SWARM, SAW, and Colossus, with a slightly re-routed queue line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Gotta love these shops. Seriously, I prefer them to vending machines which used to precede at other parks - and hey, it adds up the employment the park brings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joegibbon Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Yep it a queueline shop. Looks like its not fully finished yet though. Have a picture: Clicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 What a ridiculous caption for the photo though.I find these shops brilliant - get into a queue, get caught out cos it's gotten warm or taking longer than you originally expected, you're extremely thirsty, you go past shop in queue selling drink for the same price as anywhere else in park, which also gives you annual pass discount, so you don't lose out like if you bought from a vending machine. You don't have to buy from them, they don't shout out at you to buy anything either.People need to get a bloody grip when criticising over stuff, or get a new hobby.

thorpeparkjack Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Only thing which is slightly annoying is the fact you can't get AP discount... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Sure you can... I've always got AP discount on the few times I've used them...Of course, if you have an AP, you should bum the AP flask, cos it's fab for £16...It's only the new Nemesis 'shop' that you can't get discount in, so it's now officially useless...

Fred Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Can definitely get AP discount, as they're classed as retail outlets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Only thing which is slightly annoying is the fact you can't get AP discount...In the past you wasnt able to, the units at thorpe added at the last minute didnt have what I'm guessing was a data connection so they had basic tills, Colossus this year now has a normal till as does Swarm, not sure about Saw but I expect it will do.

Benin Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Saw and Colossus have queueline shops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipper Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Saw and Colossus have queueline shops?Yes, SAW has it in the second extension (beyond the cattle pen, tucked right in the corner) and Colossus has it as you come through the tunnel the second time. SAW's doesn't yet have anything more than a basic till system, but I presume it will be upgraded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 So I heard Nemesis Inferno was just another forceless B&M. (Credit - Coasterforce) Sidders and Benin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Nice. Is that real, if so where's it from? Assuming there are others, I want something to compare it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Yeah I stole it from Coasterforce.. for a comparison here is Nemesis. (Credit - Coasterforce) pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles1 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Interesting to see it is quite close to nemesis in terms of the forces, yet proves which is superior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Holy crap at the 6g spike... Trying to work out where that might be on the ride... But yeah Inferno has always been reasonably forceful, but of course, every Invert ever in compared to Nemesis... Bless it, so inoffensive yet derided...

tomglazed Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Could the 6g spike not be the sharp downward helix straight after the first corkscrew? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 6.2g / 6.3g (ish) spike on Nemesis is...interesting. I mean, yeah it's forceful, but wow, THAT forceful? Multiple moments above 5g too.. Just goes to show that Inferno is still forceful; though people may not think it's that forceful because of the moments when it reaches such a high force perhaps not being as noticeable as on other rides(?)

Joegibbon Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'm thinking that 6g spike is probably the helix too because looking at it I reckon the -0.5 g is the zero-g roll, it's also in sort of the right place thinking about the layout and time it takes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Nemesis is my opinion is better due to the themeing and just feel of the ride. Inferno is still an awesome ride, especially at the front row Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
