Thorpe Park's Detonator

[IceDragon]

heh... 3 click freefall towers are scary... detonator rocks aswell, making it even scarier...

 

 

 

perhaps they were going to build it, but decided on a last minute change.

 

personally i want it to tilt forward 45 degrees...

 

5... Dun dun! (tilt forward to 9degrees)

4... Dun dun! (tilt to 18deg)

3... Dun dun! (tilt to 27deg)

2... Dun dun! (tilt to 36deg)

1... Dun dun! (tilt to 45deg)

 

drop.

 

 

how cool would that be?

[RNRC]

Awesome. Apocalypse is great the way it does that but I like Detonator the way it is.

If a 2nd tower is built at TP, Lapbars or the ones on G-Force at Drayton could be used instead of OHR. That would be cool

 

I don't do drop towers anymore, I just watch and photo.

 

TP does not have a celing ride height of 115ft when Stealth is 205ft, TP can build any ride just as high as "Stealth" if they want to.

It isn't as simple as having a height ceiling but it isn't as simple as being able to build anything up to 205ft now that Stealth is there. Stealth was an exception, something that was stated in the planning application.

Frontier City has a launcher similar to Detonator, but is practically a baby ride except for the fact that it was probably designed by a back-breaker.

I don't like Det.

 

I do however respect it, because i know it's actually good and i'm the one being stupid.

 

The more i go on it, the less i like it. I've not got a problem with any other tower ride, but Detonator is actually scary.

 

What's funny is i look at it and feel nothing, but as soon as i hear the pneumatics at the top fo the tower and feel the car jolt... i want to die.

^I feel the same about any launch/tower ride.
