May 15, 201114 yr comment_115631 God, sucking the fun out of rides by talking about its speed when you take into consideration weight, air resistance and angle of drop.Face it people, only Oblivion man can make physics interesting thanks to his dialogue and rich, fruity talking.
May 15, 201114 yr comment_115632 Well, least it ain't talking about how much G-Force you get on Zodiac...
May 15, 201114 yr comment_115636 Thanks for clearing that up Mr Hicks. :mellow:I totally forgot about horizontal / vertical components being completely different. A few months of no mechanics and I've forgotten loads of it... :$
May 15, 201114 yr comment_115640 and, with Merlin going into a new era of theming everything with effortYou've seen Krake right?
May 15, 201114 yr comment_115643 You've seen Krake right?To be fair, the idea was sound, just someone cocked up in the manufacture...And the ride pays for it
May 15, 201114 yr comment_115645 Does anyone think that LC12 will have somthing to do with tidal wave (themeing wise). For some reason I think that the apoclaypse idea has somthing to do with the flood/wave in amity cove.

May 15, 201114 yr comment_115654 Just clarifying with someone who has more coaster knowledge than me......... anyway in the pics there are loads of segments but I'm guessing they have not finished so I cant see it coming early ............ c'mon thorpe put some footers in so we can get this construction moving?
May 15, 201114 yr comment_115717 Oh UVAST <3 UVAXT dear B)or SUVATwhy don't they just keep this sh it consistent?

The ride track will be totally up and in place before the season ends.
May 16, 201114 yr comment_115729 It'll be up when it's ready. I'd rather a safe slow construction than a dangerous one day construction 6 months early.

May 16, 201114 yr comment_115749 I was always chilled just want to see something exciting. I'm just want to follow construction and so far nothing has really happened. Thorpe said construction would start in may
May 16, 201114 yr comment_115750 When did they say that? :mellow:I don't think they did, because it's not going to!
May 16, 201114 yr comment_115754 They said it in their press release and its on a article on the plans approved thing at the home site
May 16, 201114 yr comment_115759 I wouldn't give sh*t and anyway lc12s track has been fabricatef so that would be a waste of money ......
May 16, 201114 yr comment_115760 Just because there's no track on-site, it doesn't mean construction hasn't started. How is the site looking these days anyway? Any sign of activity at all?If we remember, a similar thing happened with Saw, where construction just seemed to halt for a month. Much care has to be taken on the land to ensure that it's settled for the correct amount of time.We don't want any more attractions sinking.
May 16, 201114 yr comment_115769 Well if you go on coasterforce site you can see a update on construction. Tracks coming in September according to the park.
May 16, 201114 yr comment_115773 I wouldn't give sh*t and anyway lc12s track has been fabricatef so that would be a waste of money ......You know we're joking, right? T'internet fails at sarcasm.
May 16, 201114 yr comment_115775 I'm going to throw a spanner in the works of the speed calculations peeps. 'Trim breaks'. Oh Gawd!
May 16, 201114 yr comment_115777 Many have suffered at the hands of the trim brake especially th13teen which was brutally trim raped or TRIMPED!
