Thorpe Park on September 23rd. Anyone else going?
Also, Chessington WoA, although date unconfirmed either September 21st or 22nd looking very likely if anybody fancys meeting?

Nice, fun little coaster that would be perfect for a park tight on space looking for a good thrill ride (cough ELITCHES cough cough).
Positives:
-The layout was very characteristic of what the real coasters look like. It also had a typical selection of elements and some fun turns as well.
-The colors. I liked them but maybe it was just me.
Negatives:
-The trains stacked weirdly in the sim. In real life you could switch the blocks they occupy but the way you have it now, the trains stopped on lift!
-Tunnel test failed. Before releasing a coaster or even during construction, put the entire track into a tunnel and see where things cross into the track. My concern was the helixes on the ground, they were too close to the track.
Besides those couple of concerns, this coaster was very pleasant to ride and I wouldn't mind seeing it be built. Great job.
Funny you should mention that. It looks (without it yet being confirmed) just like Rage at Adventure Island, Southend-on-Sea.
The coaster was built two or three years ago I think at a park that is very compact.
Bearing in mind it has the same colour scheme and (without downloading it) looks like it has a very similar layout, would I be mistaken in assuming this is a recreation?

I'll agree with that last one!
Last thing I want when I ride Stealth is someone peeing themselves next to me!

Dragon Coaster, Alum Bay, Isle of Wight (removed)
Clown Coaster, Chessington (removed)
Not sure if it counts but Vampire, Chessington (modified-new trains)

Can't wait to see what comes out of the launch tunnel.
As for the ancient city that your referring to, my money's on Carthage.
If so, it will be interesting to see which era of their valuable history you theme it to: Republic, Roman or Islamic?

Better than I could do but not nearly as good as netdvn's drawings.

Such a shame.
If Disney World were in Britain, the entire Resort will have been closed by HSE by now. They don't believe it's possibly conceivable that three freak accidents can happen in that short a time.

Trust me, from smelling some of the British backpackers we get up here ( Cairns Far Northern Australia ) where the temp very rarely drops below 29 during daylight hours.
I can understand why Thrope did this, but they would be better of teaching some of there country man/woman how to maintain personal hygiene.
The temperature doesn't very often reach 29 degrees in the UK. Tomorrow is forecast to hit 29 making the hottest day of the year so far.
Is it a general idea by Australians that the British don't know how to maintain personal hygiene? I find that rather insulting and I'd be even more insulted to be escorted off of a ride if someone complained about BO on a clearly (by UK standards) a hot day.
As said earlier, your on the ride for 2-3 minutes. DEAL WITH IT!

My respect for Thorpe Park has just gone down.
I will be at Thorpe Park on 23rd September and my arms will be raised on any ride that I can. Not out of defiance of the "rule" but as a natural reaction that millions have experianced around the world for who knows how long.
-
Feel sorry for the staff. Some of the comments made by posters on the article were pretty harsh. It's not like this kind of thing happens often.
I'm hoping to go to Chessington mid September. I hope for Chessington's sake that EDF sort out the power supply. The amount of power used by even small parks are a goldmine. Not a good customer to lose.
-
Best time to get there is before opening. It gets really busy pretty quick especially being summer and hotel guests being inside an hour earlier.
For food I'd suggest Annette's Diner at the front of the Disney Village, you can't miss it! Great 1950's American theme with great food. Although you may need to walk it off if you're planning a big ride straight after.
-
I went in February when the staff said it was "quiet". I suggest starting at the Hollywood Studios, grab a fastpass for Tower of Terror before running to Crush's Coaster. When I did, the queue was already at 90 mins five minutes after opening!!
Queue times are significantly lower if you avoid the parades.
But the best advice is to make full use of the fastpass where ever possible.

Got it recording right now on Sky+
Thanks for the mention

^ I'm not sure what's more insane, the track work or the support work!
