Real Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 This version kicks Ka straight in the az! A killer paint job. A ride guarenteed to be more reliable. And a ride that probably will be far more comfortable and deliver as much or more airtime. What is with the open station? Doesnt RITA have an open station? Isnt your weather bad enough - youd think your protect the people who may get stuck in the rain standing in line waiting for it to open.
DATman Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 Wow, the tire over the entrance idea is definitely being overused. Only this one will hopefully say Humdinger
nemesis-storm Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 Thorpe Park's website has a new update Photo Diary http://www.thorpepark.co.uk/explore/2006/photo_diary_nov.asp Developer Diary http://www.thorpepark.co.uk/explore/2006/developer_diary_november.asp
Rooey Posted November 21, 2005 Author Posted November 21, 2005 I take it the name is already on that sign that is covered up? I'm still curious as to what this will be called
DATman Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 IT IS SO HUMDINGER!!!! The name on the ride is just too long to be any of the others!!!! This makes me happy!!
Nrthwnd Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 Looks great - can't wait! Is that an 'H' I see there at the beginning of that sign there? Hmmm. (Thanks Thorpe Park website update for pic.)
ECZenith Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 Wha... that name wasn't a joke?? What's up with the UK and bad names? Bling ,Pepsi Max Big One, Playstation The Ride, Rita (WTF?) I thought we had it bad here in the states.
dc006f5086 Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 IT IS SO HUMDINGER!!!! The name on the ride is just too long to be any of the others!!!! This makes me happy!! You've got it wrong humdinger will not be the name, as that was a name used in thorpe parks JOKE poll, of which name to use, some of the REAL possible names known are Johnny Rocket, Hot Rod and Burnout, also some reason thorpe have now taken the entrance picture and the robin picture off there site, as it is beleived a uk coaster forum stumbled upon the name, we know that the top of the sign says AMITY SPEEDWAY, when you enlarge it, but the real name is yet to be known it should be released in a few days now.
CreativeForce Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 I don't care what they name it. It will always be HUMDINGER to me!!
nemesis-storm Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 What is Humdinger??? Humdinger was mentioned on Thorpe Parks website in a voting poll. This is was just a joke name.
viking86 Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 A quick Google search gave me this http://www.hummerstyle.com/humdinger.htm But here you can find what the word means http://www.answers.com/topic/humdinger
TwistedTrack Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 Disney World Castle is to Disney Land Castle as Kingda Ka is to "Project Stealth"
Fry Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 The Edge is currently rumored to be the name for anyone who's intrested, which I think is a very bad name, and I seriously hope that we're wrong with The Edge. It may take over Playstation The Ride as the worst name ever.
dc006f5086 Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 /\ again the edge was another name featured on the joke poll, so this name will not be the name of the coaster.
Nrthwnd Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 So now that the end of the month is here.... Anybody confirmed what The Name of "Stealth" actually is, now? Inquiring (and voting) minds would like to know...
robbeal Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Nah, Thorpe Park are still arsing, and not letting us on. It may be another week or so yet. It'll probably be something rubbish when we get it anyway, considering their recent names, like 'Slammer'.
mark9 Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Nah, Thorpe Park are still arsing, and not letting us on. It may be another week or so yet. It'll probably be something rubbish when we get it anyway, considering their recent names, like 'Slammer'. Which isn't particularly rubbish considering it does slam people towards to the ground. :?
coasterboi Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Yeah i think that is the best flat ride ever because of the forces [Very High] But i am going up to the opening day for it anyone want to meet up

True, it does what it says on the tin, but it just sound cheesy to me. A bit too literal. I know a lot of people have got used to that now though, and if Stealth's name turns out a bit dodgy, then we'll more than likely get used to that in the long run too.
coasterboi Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 I actually think the bunny hop on the return will be airtime filled
nemesis-storm Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 I actually think the bunny hop on the return will be airtime filled If there will be airtime on this hill, there will not be much in my opinion, as the brake fin's start on the 'level' part of the hill Paul 'Still think this coaster is a wasted opportunity' Chapman
coasterlover420 Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 That's how it is on KK. the only difference (besides size) between the two is there aren't brakes at the top of the first hill. You'd think they could have put more thought into the layout of this coaster.
