CP_RULES Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 This ride looks INSANE! I wish I could ride it..... It makes me want to make a eurofighter in No Limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemesis-storm Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I know Martin has done a cool Photo Trip Report of the whole park. Â I thought I'd just concentrate on Rage. I also went to Adventure Island yesterday for Rage's opening. It's a great coaster & very ideal for that park. It's not that intense & very re-rideable. I have no doubt it will be very popular with visitors to the park. Â A few pictures below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinb Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 I also went to Adventure Island yesterday for Rage's opening. Â And didn't say "hi" because??? Â I must say though, I thought Rage was quite rickerty, but thats probably due to the sudden changes in direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the coaster got faster during the day, I felt it got a little bumpy in the sudden changes in direction, like you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricemilleson Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 So is this what (Wicked) Is going to be like?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Benvenuto Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 ^ well, In a way I guess. Since it does have a vertical lift. Â But I'd think wicked! is better since it also has a LSM launch, but that's just silly ol' me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDG Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 That's early. Is the park open all year round ? Â Looks like an awesome ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinb Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Is the park open all year round ? Â Yup, every weekend except when Christmas falls on a weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Lovely Pic's esp the 1st one. Â This coaster was in the manufactor's HQ being tested when "First Drop" magazine went there for a early test last year. Â I have not been on a "Euro", (could of gone on the one at BobbyJanland last year, but decided not to), it's the 1st drop which puts me off. Â I want to go on "Speed" this year, may have to try this smaller version 1st. Â The roughness should be smoothed out in time. Can't be as bad as Mr 10 Looper at Thorpe Park. The trains will not make it round the Cobra Roll if it is not greased this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xproxmetalxheadx Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 mystery mine at dollywood looks better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPDave Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 At about 10 times the cost, it better be! Â Remember Adventure Island is a tiny park that has taken a huge gamble. I really hope it pays off for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Most small parks can't afford to spend 10+ million £££ or $$$ on a coaster. "Rage" fits perfectly into it's new home, just like "Cobra" has at Paulton's Park.  It would be very rare for a coaster like "mystery mine" to be installed somewhere in England unless your Alton Towers, Oakwood, Blackpool and Thorpe Park. Theaming is not the UK's strong-point unlike those in the USA.  A 2 or 3 million £££/$$$ coaster can be more fun than a 20 million one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inferno Insane Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I hold mine judgement till I ride this on Saturday (do kina wish i went here on the Saturday as Thorpe was quite poor with no Inferno ) Â All this bumpiness talk sound like what happens on Speed, around the bankturn and helix that half shakes I thought. Ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemesis-storm Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 ^Shame you did'nt come Toby, it was a fun day. Â Also a couple of more things to note.. Â Kudos to Gerstlauer & Adventure Island in getting Rage ready & open on time plus so early in the year. I went to the park on 16th December 2006 & only the concrete foundations were there. Â The space they have put Rage into what was a tiny space compared to what Dollywood have for there Eurofighter. Â Adventure Island removed relatively small log flume for the coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorpe park maniac Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 the drop and the loop are awesome, but from there onwards, it kinda hurts and isn't too thrilling, but overall a brilliant ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDragon Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I feel it's fairly shabby. The first drops awesome (better at the back) and the loops fairly intense... after that, it starts to rumble a bit and hurt a lot... after the dive out of the inline twist, brace yourself, the transitions are a little painful...
