  1. Why don't Parks sell T-Shirts with their coasters layout on, they could have 3d model's or 2d versions.
  2. The only SLC I have been on is at Walibi World called "El Condor", it is the original one. I guess most people don't like em is when you do an inversion you head tends to travel from left to right and visa versa. They are sometimes called "Hang n Bang". I did not mind the coaster and it did have good g-forces on some of the pullouts after the loops. The heartshape inversion was cool.
  3. Someone should create a Coaster screensaver, where you have a POV of your fav ride.. Or you have different off-ride camera shots/views (wide angle,following behind, side views and Helicopter etc) of the coaster in motion.
  4. Powered Coasters are good fun, on some parts of the track layout you can hear the motor's squeeling to the Max. A good one was at "Thorpe Park" called the "Flying Fish", this used to be called "Space Station Zero" in the early 90's and was indoors. Sadly they removed the "fish" to create "Stealth" for this season. The "fish" is in storage at this time and hopefully will move to "Chessington World of Adventures" soon.
  5. Is there a Water slide at any park which has a "loop" or "camelback" during it's course..? Do any Slides have any "Airtime"..?
  6. This coaster looks so cool with it's 3 hills and twister style 2nd half + the world's 1st "Triple Down". I'll have to plan a trip to the park someday to ride it and check out the "Airtime"
  7. Someone should email SFMM to see if "Flashback" will be open this season.
  8. BDG - Goliath at Walibi World in Holland is only 150ft high, It beats most of the coaster in the USA/Europe for fun and out-of-your-seat airtime. Height does not matter when building a coaster, it's "keeping its speed up through out it's course".
  9. Would it be possible to have an Disk-O Coaster Out n Back layout..?
  10. The original SLC or Hang n Bang is at Walibi World. It was not 2 rough when i went on it last May., a big jerky through the inversions.
  11. No "RCT" did not get me to ride coasters, but I am glad the games did get made and everyone can design their ultimate Coaster and Water Park. I spend hours on create a "Hyper or Giga" Coaster which goes the whole lenght of the park, a massive Out n Back, twister.
  12. Why do parks install trim brakes along the course of a coaster's track. Is it.: 1) The coaster had an accident and the park slows the ride down. 2) The Park get's complents the ride is 2 fast and people come out their seat 2 much..? The Coaster designers do know the speed / G-Force etc when they design a coaster for a Park, they must feel sad when brakes are added to their rides. What are your views..?
  13. I liked "Millenium Force" when I rode it in 2000, I thought the 1st drop would of been more scary but it was amazing falling at 80% drop The whole ride is one big rush "Magnum " was great as well, I did not think it was bumpy, loved the turn-around and the 2nd drop towards the lake. "Mean Streak" was a good woodie, but it needs to have some TLC and those dam brakes removed.
  14. coasterboi - I hope your tall enough (1.4m) to ride "Stealth"
  15. The Cystral Beach Cyclone rebuild by The Gravity Group
  16. i won't not go on this ride, too much for me. I'll stick to coasters
  17. I love Waterparks, there are not enough rides which use rubber rings in the UK. The only Waterpark I have been to is in Portugal called "Slide n Splash". There are some Indoor waterparks in the UK, the best one is called "Splashdown" at Tower Park. I use Rollercoaster Tycoon Add-on "Wild" to create Water Slides/tubes.
  18. I've been on Oblivion at Alton Towers and did not like it much. But they do the job of giving you a big rush and getting off the ride happy.
  19. I'll be riding "Cobra" at Paulton's Park on the 18th Mar instead of "Stealth". Those type of coasters do not warrant my approval, it's a lazy design Hey - Blastaman = Your love Thorpe Park as it has improved so much over the years
  20. brad118 - That's up to you what you think of the film, I thought it was very good. Let's hope the next coaster you go on the "lift hill chain" does not snap and there are no rollbacks installed. Take all films as they are ment to be: A form of "Enjoyment".
  21. I prefer Woodies over Hyper steel coasters, i'm not 2 keen on anything over 250ft high, the speed does not bother me. You can't beat a good woodie twister (Thunderhead) or Out n Back (Collosos). Airtime heaven
  22. Some of my friends can't understand why i want to punish my body on a coaster. I say its a good form of getting rid of your excess energy and anger. You feel much better after a couple of rides on "The Beast".
  23. Yes, as "Goliath" train at Walibi World did not catch the lift pulling system. it was fixed after 15 mins and I headed straight for the back seats.
  24. The only Six Flags Park I have been to is the one in Holland (called Walibi World now). The park was clean, tidy, all the staff were helpfull and you can re-ride if no-one is waiting for your seat. I'll be going back in June for 4 days. I wish the UK parks allowed people to re-ride when it's not busy, they always ask you to leave your seat and walk round the Q lines.
  25. I know the coaster is not a "real one", I just asked which coaster it was based on. Maybe B&M could create an Inverted Coaster like the one on the film Only joking. Did you know the voice of the "Devil" is Tony Todd and he has been in all 3 films, the 1st 2 he was the Undertaker.
