So you basically want Thorpe Park to become a Amusement Park with parking lot coasters, no scenery and no themeing on its rides?!RollercoasterGEEK100 wrote: Dear thorpe park: Extend... Make it like six flags UK.

Not a parking lot!? I mean just big rides. Not car park coasters! They are hideous.SpinballEdders wrote:So you basically want Thorpe Park to become a Amusement Park with parking lot coasters, no scenery and no themeing on its rides?!RollercoasterGEEK100 wrote: Dear thorpe park: Extend...

(that's a damn fine picture right there :P )
Just loose the supports on the lift for I305 ones, swap the chain for a cable lift, use the new Intamin style track (like I305) and create trains similar to those on Behemoth at Canada's Wonderland:
Which is more than enough height needed to build something like this:BigAl wrote: Thorpe can only build up to 50 meters (just over 164ft) for this next coaster.
Sounds like rubbish to me, really wouldn't take that with even a pinch of salt.jamesc wrote:From what I remember hearing about the coaster plans at the park, they have a deal with Intamin & B&M to build 3 coasters each.
So that makes one each left to build.
Given that Merlin cite the public's unsafe perception of woodies to be their reasoning behind not building one, I think you may well have just hit upon the one thing that they're less likely to build than a standard woodie: a woodie with inversions...jamesc wrote:I can see it now, Worlds First Intamin Wood coaster with Inversions, and as thorpe likes inversions in there coaster Merlin may allow a wood coaster to be built if it had inversions.
Considering the park were told Swarm would get about 1,100 people per hour and its rides crew managed 1,260 people per hour, I don't hold much thought to what you said. It was either quiet or the park gate figure didn't justify wasting money on two trains on each rollercoaster----reece---- wrote: There isn't any point in talking throughput when it comes to thorpe park!
They LOVE ques!!!!!!
Every time i go, EVERY TIME, they always end up with just running 1 train on coasters like stealth nemesis and even the swarm the other day , Just to Form a Que!
Frustrates me!!!! Rant over Haha
I'm thinking the same to be honest. All things considered, we really haven't seen a massive amount of innovation from B+M in recent years. The wing rider is great, don't get me wrong but it's still something that Intamin beat them to, albeit to a less than perfect design.TB2 wrote: Considering the park were told Swarm would get about 1,100 people per hour and its rides crew managed 1,260 people per hour, I don't hold much thought to what you said.

I'm actually hoping it's not a B&M. I'd love to see a new Mack coaster.
