Thorpe Park: General Discussion

[Tom]

Possibly not, but without more speed, they are left with crane offs and/or water dummy loading burdening them.

 

[DiogoJ42]

Just tick the "low friction" box. Problem solved.

 

[Poisson]

Could be as simple as loading the zero car with extra weight permanently. I wouldn't be hasty to add a cable launch or rocket boosters to it just yet.

 

[Steve74]

Or maybe just a longer train, this would probably work, although with the length of this train and the length of Hyperia it would probably have to be be classed as an Omnimover. Would improve throughput though

Joking aside, would an extra row help? I know there's that fact that if Nemesis Reborn had 1 row less it wouldn't make it round the track.

That's basically Revolution at Bobbejaanland

And Green Scream at Adventure Island lol

Still holds the record for most naked riders, I believe? I guess Bobbejaanland have no interest in claiming that.

Evolution has in-line seating, which would give an added dimension to that particular record

I'd reply, but that's very much for another topic.

Met up with the inlaws today. Even the normals are talking about what a monumental flamingo-up Thorpe have made here.

[Alastair]

This is the, ahem, Hyperia topic. Might I remind everyone!

 

[Benzin]

It's a more pertinent discussion that some of the suggestions on here.

Real life isn't RCT. You can't just through some booster track on there instead without considerable reworking of pretty much everything.

As said, it's stalled ONCE. Didn't see B&M rebuilding Diamondback when it stalled. Or Saw. Or many many more.

Having ridden hyperia 4 times now I’m ready to say - I’m not keen. I come off feeling like my brain has been scrambled - no other ride at Thorpe is so rattly to jangle my teeth like that thing does.

We did 3 laps in a row on Ninfero yesterday which were great fun - there’s no way I could do that on Hyperia. A) it breaks down a lot () and B) I find it too rattly.

I know things may improve as they bed in, and I’m wondering if my first ride was on the other train as I don’t remember that being so bad, but I think that’s me done at Thorpe for a bit.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the trains had more rattle than the other, since this is fairly common. Hyperia didn't seem extremely rattly when I rode it with you.

It does have a high speed rattle in places. Not horrendous, but present.

Oh oh oooh!

Aaannnd it’s stuck at the top again… tch

Properly stuck or just held til the train in front clears?

Second is in the station. Stopped at the bottom for 30 seconds and is now stuck at the top.
Gave up and we’re going on the B&M

From looking at Twitter, they’ve apparently said that “testing will resume soon”!

Does soon mean today or in two weeks, my goodness
