Shockwave Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Surely it would be very difficult to cut down and move that amount of theming, then rebuild it again. It just looks like a huge papier mache mountain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rosenzweig Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 It will be interesting to see where the Double Loop and the Bobsled end up. I really can't see them selling that one coaster and not the other two. I'm curious as to whether the mountain itself will be rebuilt, or if this thing will turn into a giant pile of scaffolding and track like its cousin that reopened in Russia.... -Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 ^^I doubt it, I think there just going to leave it without theming, gonna be left naked like its cousin, Jetline! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I've always been interested in this weird Schwarzkopf, glad to see it got a new home that wasn't a scrapyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Glad this "Classic" Schwarzkopf has made the trip to the UK, I hope this helps the park get more people in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owen Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I am confused by this purchase, the park tried to buy a vekoma hangover a a few years ago and where denide planning permission due to it's height, so what's changed. I hope they paint this ride maybe they will theme it a big castle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they paint this ride maybe they will theme it a big castle According to RCDB statistics, BMRX is 86 feet tall while Vekoma Invertigo's are 160 feet tall so I dont see whats weird about that. Anyway, f they dont add any theming to the ride I hope they paint it with some brighter colours. Once again, Yay for Jetline's little brother coming to Europe!

owen Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I never realised that invertigos where that high! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrider Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I know that as well, I went on Rock 'n' Roller Coaster which is 80 feet tall but a basic boomerang is taller Shure didn't feel that way. Also, I hated seeing pictures of that ride in Russia that had no themeing but scaffold, it just seemed too "naked" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 It seems to me as of late that the UK is becoming the retirement home to a lot of Herr Achterbahn's good rides- at least if RCDB's listings are accurate- Now I have an excuse to visit the UK again...

Vekoma Fan Boy Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 ^Haha, oh dear god, it's people like that make me hesitate to say that I'm an ACEr.

Nah thats Mexico. I havent checked RCDB, but I know plenty of Schwarzkopf's that have been removed from the UK... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
