Some Questions about Pepsi Max Big One
martinb replied to pkdcoaster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yes, once, wasn't much of an entusiast then. Some of it was re-tracked this year (closed season 2005-2006), it was mainly the 5th drop (right next to the 1st drop), nothing to the layout was changed, it was just replaced. I don't think a single year has gone by yet without a bit of track being replaced. -Martyn -
Photo TR: Thorpe Park & Isle of Wight
martinb replied to Shockwave's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I am just the unluckiest person when it comes to Stealth, I've NEVER experienced any sort of airtime on it, not even on the airtime hill, I've sat at the front on all my rides and every ride I've had its crawled over the top hat and yet loads of people tell me when they go on it, it flys over the top hat with ejector airtime, I think some people must be lieing though, I've been to TP 5 times this year and its I've never even seen it "fly" over the tophat. But anyway, nice pics Tom -Martyn -

I've been riding PMBO for years now and I've never noticed thats anythings changed and your pictures don't show much difference either The first drop on it is mega, best part of the ride, its so steep and twisty, best in the back seat mega 213ft up! -

That looks like it goes into an inversion. -
Same here, I can't be bothered to have my arms up, mine just rest on my legs, unless its a Vekoma where I hold on for dear life and grit my teeth so they bleed -Martyn

"Eye" wasn't complaining about it being an Aqua Trax, just saying its a bit of a let down when they've kept it such a big secret. "Not" complaining about the ride it self, if they didn't keep it a secret it would be fine, knowone would be let down: But whose to say it IS going to be an Aqua Trax? -

Track work is near completion, the only part left is the station and the "dark ride" part before the lift hill. Am I the only person who thinks that this is a bit of a "cheap" coaster for Disney to get, but I'm sure the Imagineers will wisk their magic to it & make it amazing, but I just can't help but think its a bif of a cheap coaster like that Magic Mouse at Animal Kingdom, but never mind. -Martyn Thanks to www.dlp.info -

Afew points I'd like to comment on: Thast exactly what I said Elissa, but knowone listens to me Thats exactly what I thought. Anyone fancy putting money where there mouths are? I'm not a CP fanboy, I said it would be bad if it is an Aqua thingy as they've kept it a secret, if your going to keep it a secret, its got to be a big coaster(not in size, but general status). Wouldn't it be great if every park done this for every new coaster they got, -Martyn -

It could be anything, like I said above, look what happened to that Intamin track that was at Thorpe Park. I think someone should just ring up Mr Intamin & get some answers -Martyn -

If it was an Aqua Trax it will be a disaster, mainly because they've kept it a huge secret and to suddenly come out with "our new coaster will be an Aqua Track coaster", everyone that has been getting all excited over it will just say.......meh? Its an average coaster that is made better by themeing. If they didn't keep it a secret then it wouldn't be as bad. And if you think deeply, them signs might just be there to make your mind wonder. Look what happened to that Intamin track that turned up at Thorpe Park -

Same here, they might aswell have just surprised us with an SLC! I was hoping for a more thrilling coaster than that. If it is true, then I'm dissapointed but if its not, WOO HOO -Martyn -

After thinking about it for a while, I doubt it will be a "most inversions" coaster like Colossus, it would be too much of a let down as they've kept it such a big secret, like Alton Towers did with Oblivion. After this talk about all different types of coasters, it could just be an Intamin Hyper coaster like Expedition GeForce & Goliath (Walibi), but then again that signs says they're moving in a different direction. -Martyn
