    Spinball Whizzer: General Discussion

    Are you @rob666 with that level of pedanticness. Not most then a high percentage of coasters. I’ve seen videos of a lot of coasters operating around the world in rainy conditions without needing to reduce rider numbers. It must be a specific problem to Maurer spinners

    Cedar Point: General Discussion

    And do you blame them? The ride was open for a few days then it shuts and won’t open the rest of the year. If I were Cedar I’d be swinging at Zamperla and making their life miserable

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    I meant for guest interpretation. 47mph gusts at 236ft will only be like 20mph on ground level. Thorpe should state what the wind equivalent of the ride height is at ground level so guests understand

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    Can someone please help me understand this because it’s odd. Apparently Hyperia is closed due to high winds but yet the other coasters are open. According to Thorpe parks website Hyperia has the highest wind limit but yet is the first to close? The only thing I can think of is that wind speed...

    Is Oblivion now operating in the wind? Gusts are quite high so I’m surprised it’s open

    Why are we talking about smoking and vaping? It says on the signs to not do it in the queues so people shouldn’t do it. I don’t care if you choose to vape that’s your own decision but the park make the rules clear that you shouldn’t do it in queues. If you’re seen breaking this rule then in my...

    Not that they could ever do this anyway and get away with it because if they could travellers day wouldn’t exist

    Alton Towers vs. Thorpe Park: Strongest Top 3

    Well I’m going to put the coasters in my personal order and then figure out which park has the better lineup. 1. Hyperia 2. Nemesis/Smiler 3. Wicker Man 4. Saw 5. Colossus 6. Inferno 7. Swarm 8. Stealth 9. Rita 10. Oblivion 11. Galactica 12. Th13teen So judging on the fact most the towers...

    Alton Towers vs. Thorpe Park: Strongest Top 3

    No. No. No. Not having Hyperia in the top 3 is worse than not having Smiler in towers top 3

    Alton Towers vs. Thorpe Park: Strongest Top 3

    I can’t vote on this because I disagree with the rides picked. I understand Swarm and Stealth are regarded as 2 of the best at the park but I personally think they’re the worst 2. Saw and Colossus may be a bit rough but at least they’re more interesting. Stealth is over in seconds and has...

    I think it might be a delayed response to the positive g force prior. For example Ritas 1st and 2nd hill you’re going up into the hill after positive g force. Same with Saw you go into the immelmann after pulling out the drop

    Yes that’s correct. I can think of 3 elements where my vision has dropped a bit. Nemesis helix- positive g force Saw Immelmann- negative Rita first hill- negative

    Doesn’t make me feel ill it just makes my vision dim

    Positive and negative g force can affect people differently too. High positive g force I can deal with pretty easy but negative not so much for some reason. Any time I’ve greyed out on a ride it tends to be when the ride is travelling fast upwards. I’m assuming they’ll be an explanation for that

    It’s not about us enthusiasts the important thing is public perception. Most of us support towers no matter what so our opinion is irrelevant

    The future of winter season events

    So as you are all aware Towers run a Christmas and February half term event. The current lineup in both events is fairly limited and mainly focused on family areas such as CBeebies and David walliams. Do you reckon Towers will ever look into reintroducing big rides like they did in February many...

    I mean the fact it can’t operate normally in the rain like most coasters in the world is a problem

    Spinball Whizzer: General Discussion

    Either way it’s coming back and they’re willing to change queue routes to fit it in. This gives me confidence they might look at it on other rides. The 2 seaters don’t really need them but I wouldn’t complain if they somehow implemented it on Rita and Th13teen again. I actually enjoy Rita but...
