JoshC. Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 CCR doesn't have a tunnel.It's a fake route; the 'tunnel' (I believe) is an entrance for engineers for Loggers Leap's tunnel. So simple, yet so effective.EDIT: Tidal Rave beat me to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I think Medusa does still work. But I agree with you really Mark, it's literally the only thing I can think of. Shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiteknuckle Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Why does the pre lift section remind me of Air? Oh yeah, because it's a concrete tunnel.The ride itself looks good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPGG Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Why does the pre lift section remind me of Air? Oh yeah, because it's a concrete tunnel.The ride itself looks good though.The concrete works though because of the flashing red lights, they also continue on the lifthill railings.

Whiteknuckle Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Ok, I stand corrected.I probably took seeing that when I have been on Air that many times, that it just seems so boring going through that tunnel, when so much themeing could have been installed there.

Benin Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Surely we're talking about the wrong ride here?Raptor has a concrete tunnel, but at least it actually fits into the theme of secret government base... Air just suffered from budget cuts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Well I'm very happy that the plans have been approved Now there are no excuses left for cutting stuff - just up to Thorpe to deliver now...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomglazed Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 At least we fully understand what the restraints are like now; sort of a mini version of air's vest restraints without the ankle bit. Looks pretty comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javs Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 This is great news! With all the depressing news this year, this is something to really look forward to. As far as the budget, well the plans been approved, there is no tree removal or possible landscaping surprises as it is a blank canvass, so hopefully we should see the plans come to fruition! And May 2011! Get ready for construction photo's!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I wouldn't call this ride great news! It's based on destruction haha! But I'm looking forward to it, I think LC12 is going to be a larger scale version of this to be honest, Raptor/X-Raptor is just to see the response from the general public and hopefully this is gonna be bigger and better. Also, it says it's gonna be like 127ft? I swear it was meant to be taller then that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBdaWonderLlama Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Looking at the plans I'm actually quite excited for this. I love the idea of the overturned trucks for the shops and photo stand things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks pretty comfortable.I have the issue with free ankles, X and X2 made me feel really unsafe because the lack of angle restraints make your legs fly everywhere - painful, not fun.Buuuuut, hopefully this will be different!

tomglazed Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hey hey... there could be JCB's and other heavy machinery too Still can't believe the Pilot's union response to the aircraft scenery; it's like saying Nemesis Inferno is distasteful for victims of volcanic eruption...

Will Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Inferno is different, the actual ride isn't as crazy as X or X2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Thorpe dont make the themeing they just give the budget for someone else to!
