Mine was night rides on Nemesis last week. I can't think of many better ways to end the season in the UK! Probably made sweeter by being at thorpe the day before, reminding me just how awesome AT really is Dave

They have to work without failing, but I'm not aware of any universal codes that have to be adhered to. There might be something in the structural eurocodes that could be applicable to coasters that go up in the EU, but I'm not sure I want to spend a day checking! There's TUV, but I'm not sure that covers structural things as much as the systems and mechanics of the ride. Actually on the subject of crazy supports, Dragon's Fury at CWoA has some interesting supports that allow it to navigate Land of the Dragons: http://www.thorpeparkguide.com/archives/dragonsfury/page2/photos/jan04-20.jpg

AHA!!! You said you weren't! You just need to do more mazes, the sense of accomplishment grows every time you do one We'll take you through Alien Wars at christmas, it'll be a laugh! Dave

^ We had to stretch the truth a *little* bit to get him to go in willingly, at the cost of him never trusting us ever again. Dave "Well worth it!" Wilson

Nice report How is Rita's entrance a clone though?

I'm sad I missed the random puzzles that you cheated your way through! This was a really nice park, and I really want to go back when they've done the developments that they were talking about. I like how they opened the eurofighter this year, and they're finishing the theming next year (when the existing theming is better than most rides in the UK!). I like the idea of having one really great ride rather than a couple of mediocre ones. Great update Divv, and yes, there were by far enough TPCaptions Dave

You should e-mail Dan about this problem, he might have some advice for you...

Nice report Rick!! I really liked CGA on the West Coast trip, and it's great to see the park nicely themed out! Thanks for the photos

That Flemming picture still cracks me up! Nice report Divv This place was really nice, I love the idea of these urban parks!

I'm guessing it's from the airport firstly because I think I recognise the shop and secondly because this is the arrival update...

ENGLISH!!!!!!! Nice stuff Divv, I think we were eating the left over snacks for the rest of trip

I'm incredibly Jealous of you guys! Looks like it's going well so far, have an awesome time! Thanks for the pictures

Awesome stuff Divv! I love the shot of Brad fighting for survival hanging from the ropes. Snack trading pictures will be epic!

YAY for Divv TR's!! Bar a few interesting pictures of me, it's looking great! Can't wait for more

Ooooooh, patriotic Looking forward to this one Shane!

Yeah, I believe they said the starflyer would be 150m tall which is verging on insanity (especially near open water...) These guys seemed to really like Intamin, so I'd assume that they will try and go with them again if they can compete with whatever B&M/Vekoma are offering.

^ Which one is your official entry?

I much prefer SCBB, it might even be ahead of Terminator for me. BP was nice, but lacked forces and airtime (it was a little too shaky as well!). Wow. That ride beat the crap out of me! Once was enough and I was in a supposedly "good" seat. I could tell it would be a great ride if it was smooth (which I'm told it used to be) but seemingly a lack of maintenance has made it pretty much unbearable.

^ The megalites are what you described but with OTSR's and a lift.

IKEA was fun! The pillow I got for 19kr is really good as well We probably should have eaten there too, but I think we just had 6 cans of beer for dinner instead

Hi there, Welcome to TPR, this story already has a thread here. Please use the search function in future. Thanks Dave "locked" Wilson

Chuck, for no good reason whatsoever I haven't been keeping up with the updates, so it's been a great read going through all the parks!! Great TR's as always Can't wait for the rest!!

Good to hear it hasn't been trimmed... yet! Since there is actually no trimming going on, I'm going to lock this thread as it will just become idle speculation, but please speculate in The Rumor Superthread. Dave

Ha! Awesome stuff guys! We all know that Brit Trips are just a front for going to Reflex, so I'm glad you guys were on top form Pub Fudge looks good to! I'll have to go there next time I ask Scottish Steve for a lift to Brighton...

I'd say they're the best at using EC brakes at the moment. But yes, until client pays them to, they wont build over 239' 6"
