Drayton Manor Discussion Thread

It will be a flat ride, most likely an Zamperla Air Race, as most of the quotes used in those tweets are straight from Zamperla's description of the Air Race. -
Phantasialand Discussion Thread

The park have now confirmed that the Silver Mine dark ride, along with it's western themed area will be closing, and demolished, to make way for something new. Instead of building a new western area, the park will expand it's mystery themed area. Sounds like a kick-ass move IMO as I really like the mystery theme, and hopefully the new area will bring another coaster into the park without taking out one of the current ones. -

I'm probably one of the few here who really love wild mouses. -
Fantasilandia 2014 new ride
_koppen replied to coasterschile's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That looks like an awesome ride! I'm much happier when a park builds one of these, instead of a real splash battle. Deliveries just as fun experience, and with a much lower price tag. -
Nigloland! New Coaster for 2014
_koppen replied to msep003's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The ride will keep following the megalite after the twisted hill, into a regular hill. I'm guessing that after that, the ride will keep following the Intamin ride with a left turn into a series of twisted hills. Instead of then making a right turn, into the last straight bunny hills, I think this one will do the same only with a turn to the left before the hills. Source -

Most likely B&M will re-design their whole line up of trains in the near future, can't wait to se how it turns out! -

Gotta love the wacky worms all over the world. I don't like them, but it would still feel wrong if none of them existed. -
From the Facebook page: The right word for this would be woo-hoo! From my understanding of the situation, the biggest problem for them was to find new funds, to pay of the debts. When postponing the opening of the park the revenue for 2013 was cancelled, but still the loans needed to be paid. This is just how I understood it, and I'm sure there are 1000 more things that played a part in the situation.

Nigloland! New Coaster for 2014

And the lift is done! Unfortunately the ride has the same ugly chain return under the top of the lift as Storm, but I guess I will get over it. Source -
The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread

The prototype was launched, and the whole concept was to make them launched. Nobody bought them though, that's why them started to be made with chains. -
Schlitterbahn Kansas - Verrückt Water Slide

^ I'm pretty sure seat belts have been confirmed for the ride. Don't quote me on it though.
