jray21 0 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I would much rather have something, than nothing. I'm always for more theming and decorations. Link to post Share on other sites

Randomman295 0 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 That looks like an incredibly close call. I'm assuming they've already done envelope testing? Link to post Share on other sites
RCT3Bross 4 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Picture from twitter from a few days ago. (Sorry Couldn't get it bigger ) As we can see it's going to make it. But to be sure I don't keep my hands next to the train. Link to post Share on other sites
Hilltopper39 35 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Cool little addition...seems like parks are realizing these near-miss elements make the wingriders a better experience. Â Agree, I wish Dollywood would find a way to install a keyhole element somehow or another on Wild Eagle. Link to post Share on other sites

jray21 0 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 That's a great looking sign! I think it would be great if a few people got their arms ripped off. If would definitely go along with the theming. Link to post Share on other sites

andybarnes84 0 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) "Take a flight into Hell."Â SFA should have trademarked this years ago. Â I always thought SFA stood for Six Flags Apocalypse, and then when I arrived to find their "new" floorless coaster wasn't called "America", dissapointment and confusion prevailed. Â The new sign at Thorpe looks great, exactly what the ride needed as I always felt the near miss with the church wasn't particularly effective.

RCT3Bross 4 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Take a Look at the 2013 park map, With billboard and swarm cars backwards, and of coarse Crash Pad. But that's not really worth talking about. Look at X:/ No Way Out or to be better X. It seems they renamed the ride, I also understood that no X's page on the site it mentioned that you run the entire ride backwards and this is removed: http://thorpepark.com/rides/x-no-way-out.aspx What's going on here? Did they only renamed it or did they even reversed the trains making it run forwards? What do you guy's think? Link to post Share on other sites
chickenbowl 1 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 ^That has got to be the worst park map I've ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites
RollerCoasterSmi 0 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 ^ It isn't honestly too bad (in my opinion). I mean in the park all the rides are quite tall so you just see the ride & walk towards it! Â It also has lots of details which are hilarious... Link to post Share on other sites
BudtheWeiser 0 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Nah its the same style they have used for years,Its not like its a hard park to navigate anyway debating whether to go to passholder's day tomorrow as the forecast is for 0 degrees with a windchill of -4 not sure that's coaster riding weather yet Link to post Share on other sites

RCT3Bross 4 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 It has something when I look at it. I mean seeing it makes me exited to go to the park this summer. Link to post Share on other sites
spinning man 0 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I'm not really a fan of rides that go backwards, and seeing those images make me feel abit sick. Hopefully, this ride will not be so rough on stomach and I will enjoy it. But I think they should've changed at least 3 rows backwards instead of 2. Link to post Share on other sites
matteocrepaldi 0 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'm glad I visited Thorpe Park last year so I could enjoy the back seat! From my very few experiences on bacward rides I can say that I better stay away from them. Link to post Share on other sites
BudtheWeiser 0 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'll let you know just after 12 lol as for the new billboard its a great double head chopper as you also get a near miss on the side as you go round it. Link to post Share on other sites
BudtheWeiser 0 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Well the first drop seems more forceful backwards especially the spin into the drop the rest of the ride feels much the same so if you like it its fine if you don't it won't convert you. Link to post Share on other sites
Geauga Dog 1 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 The train looks odd with the space between the forward and backward facing seats. Maybe B&M should create winged trains with Invertigo-style face to face seating. Link to post Share on other sites
