^I don't see a problem with that, what were you expecting? Plus they look awesome, especially Lumberjack, which is pretty nicely themed! -

I'm not sure that the big dipper cars would fit in that station. My bets still on an extreme spinning coaster -

That drop out of the station is very, very impressive. I certainly wasn't expecting something that steep -

^I definitely think those TV's are going to be showing some promotional material, going to be very interesting to see -

I can't believe it's even being discussed, another relocation that's never going to happen to Valleyfair -
Ohio State Fair accident
RyanTPM replied to Skramp's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would say this is impossible to be the reason for this, the operator could press the emergency stop at any point during the ride and it wouldn't just stop dead. It would still have to slow down until it comes to a complete stop. Emergency stops aren't block brakes that I know of. Id also say, as others have, that we can rule out anything to do with the floor based on the lack of damage to the rest of the ride and floor itself and on top of that I'm sure an operator cannot just raise a ride floor while it is in motion, the system should stop this. I'd say this is catastrophic failure of the ride arm due to metal fatigue -

^That wording is just a way for the park to big up the announcement and create a buzz, good marketing technique that's all -

My bets are definitely on an extreme spinning coaster using trains similar to the ones they tried on Blue Fire a while back -

You guys really are speculating over nothing at all -

This just looks incredible, cannot wait to see the lift hill done! -
Alton Towers Discussion Thread
RyanTPM replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^In a normal situation this would be an overreaction, but you've got to think that Merlin/Alton have to keep a perfect safety record after The Smiler accident in order to gain a lot of the public's trust, so this makes sense after what happened at Drayton. I guess they're trying to make sure that there's no possibility of a serious incident happening on park at all again, hence why a lot of fences around their rides have also been made higher or new ones added and quite a lot of safety related changes made. -

^It's definitely getting very exciting now, looking forward to seeing what that lift hill ends up looking like with it changing angles on the plans -
Silver Dollar City (SDC) Discussion Thread
RyanTPM replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^It's been rumoured for ages though that it'll be an extreme spinning coaster with possible inversions and not just a normal spinner -
^^That was just a rumour though. Many, many times has it been said that Six Flags had exclusive rights to RMC's, I believe this did not turn out to be true at all, and it's likely what you said there isn't either. There's no reason why Cedar Fair would now have some rights stopping Six Flags specifically building RMC's

(consider how much Merlin lost daily when Smiler was closed yet they survived) To be fair, with this one Merlin and Alton were never going to not survive judging on the fact that they are a humongous company -
