Mark9 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 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.

JoshC. Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 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... :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 and, with Merlin going into a new era of theming everything with effortYou've seen Krake right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Coaster Man Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastermaniac94 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 http://go-merlin.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/041.jpg Is this lift hill track because is it me or does it seem bigger and its got steel flaps coming from the side?

Sidders Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 http://go-merlin.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/041.jpg Is this lift hill track because is it me or does it seem bigger and its got steel flaps coming from the side?Judging by the "flaps" and the angle the supports are designed to be bolted into place beneath the track, I'd say yes.

Coastermaniac94 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 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?

Tom Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 It'll be up when it's ready. I'd rather a safe slow construction than a dangerous one day construction 6 months early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastermaniac94 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I was always chilled just want to see something exciting.

Sheepie Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 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.
