We have rights too!!

225' I've added a >300 ft bracket for all the optimistic people out there

To say I laughed would be a ridiculous understatement But Jeff, the sad fact of the matter is you might not make it until any one of us dies

There's a topic on it somewhere, basically a launch coaster with "loop-de-loops" (a strange concept for Europa!). Hopefully it'll live up to the high standard of the rest of the park

Nice pictures Chuck!! Liking the "Colossus boob shot"

Guys, please stop backseat modding. I've had to ban someone already from this thread for generally being arrogant and to be honest you sound more spoiled than the bloke you are telling off. Please leave the modding to us. Thanks

Ha! Steves face in that last one is awesome!

Very interesting Erik, you're clearly meant for better things than Vekoma

Post of the year? No more question need to be asked in this thread now...

Seriously dude, listen to him. Not doing so has just got you a nice little time out...

The Grand Floridian I've stayed there twice now and it's something pretty special. I love being able to sit over the lake and watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks in a non-crowded environment. The rooms are great, the dedicated boat service to MK (not to mention the monorail stop) is very useful, the restaurant is great (V&A is fantastic if that's your kind of thing) and the staff were brilliant (although i'm sure that's the same with all disney hotels). Of course this all comes at a price, but until i'm paying the bill it doesn't matter too much

Yes, he was filming POV or reverse POV

I *think* the title refers to you, not the fairy!

I hid from the camera at that point out of sheer shame

I seriously don't understand your logic, I'm not eco-hippy but I fail to see the up-side of a hummer. They are overly large (and surprisingly small inside, you seem to get more room inside a range rover), not particularly good off road, use far too much fuel and look disgusting. Seriously, why do you want a hummer over all the other vehicles that outclass it in every respect (apart from the "I have a tiny penis but look at my HUGE car" aspect)

But when everything goes wrong, surely it would be a good thing to know how to stop it moving Yes, but the faster entry speed will still leave faster

Hi, Warner is definitely the best park, Superman was up there as a stand out coaster of the Spain trip, and any park with two B&Ms has to be good right? - The park does open at 11am (closes at 10pm). It's worth getting there for opening as you can get quite a few rides on the big coasters before everyone else gets there (you also wont want to queue too long for coaster express!) - It's hard to say when people will leave, with opening hours like that you could even get two "waves" of people throughout the day, but it'd be safe to assume that later on the queues will die down slightly in the evening once everyone else has had their fun and gone home. Hope that helps

Ha! The post is about brakes as well!! Dave "Induction brakes are purdy" Wilson

Yeah, you could still feel them but you were going fast enough once you were through that it didn't really matter. I remember after riding Goliath saying "that's what the final bunny hops on G-force should feel like", and then when we rode it this time around, they did!

Great pics Hanno! I'm glad there is only one of us on that suspended dark ride thingy I think i fell asleep on the second ride!

GEEK TIME!! (Please ignore this post if you have no interest in magnetic braking systems...). I did my Physics coursework on induction braking this year so I understand at least the basics of it Due to various boring laws of induction, the braking force excerted on the train will be proportional to the speed of the train as it enters the brakes, this can be assumed as a percentage drop in speed (where the percentage is determined by the distance between the magnets). Basically the brakes dont slow you down by a set speed, but you're right in that if you go in faster, you come out faster

The title fairy has no gender...

Everyone knows who the title fairy is, they just don't know it... Apart from those that do

Hi there, welcome to TPR! What company do you work for by the way? Dave
