    Thorpe and Towers coasters- Have Thorpe reached a level that Towers can't equal?

    Never really understood the obsession with height records. For me, once you go above the height where a fall could make or kill you, the increased height has little if any impact on the fear factor. I do concede that it the right setting, the view can be lovely though. Close proximity to the...

    Sir Tim Martin?

    Personally, I'm pro Brexit done well, but against the Brexit we got. The real reasons the public voted for Brexit were swept under the rug, straw men created and demolished, and Brexit was taken over at every turn by people who never supported in in the first place to the extent that it can't...

    Sir Tim Martin?

    Loved by many (including me), hated by just as many (sometimes, but not always due to misreporting of his activities during lockdown). Tim Martin becomes a Sir! Does he deserve this honour? Normally, I hate it when highly paid celebrities get the highest honours in the land for doing a modicum...

    [2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

    Where I come from, we do the improvement joke about Barnsley! All us nerds could have a pint with Nemmie in what is left of Stoke Wetherspoons after the rampage. Takes more than a fight to shut Wetherspoon. Anyway, well done marketing team... Brilliant job.

    [2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

    Double post... Would love to see Nemmie interrupt the fireworks, with lots of red, huge explosions and a commentary of Nemesis attacking in the style of Orson Welles incredible radio broadcast of The War or the World's from 1938. Check it out. Holds up today and fooled half of Americans into...

    [2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

    I loved your idea at the time. Let's hope Toho aren't watching. Sounds like a definite sample of Japanese 1970s Godzilla to me at 1 minute 15. It's very distinctive. Godzilla Vs Nemesis.

    [2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

    I'm sure this is hugely unlikely, but there seems to be quite the delay on the installation (or even appearance) of Nemmie"s final track segment Wonder if B and M could have delayed fabrication of the final piece until micro measurements are taken to ensure that it fits perfectly. This would...

    [202X] Project Horizon (SW9?): Planning Approved

    Can't copy and paste it, but yesterday RMC tweeted (sorry x'd) "Secret RMC Surprise", with a tree, a branch and a leaf blowing or spinning in the wind with the symbols shown both forward and backwards... Intriguing! Does anybody know what the use of the word secret could mean...? 😉

    [2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

    I'm getting old, but if my memory serves me, Nemmie had it's full intensity and brilliance from the first ride I ever had just a few days after opening in 1994. I think B and M will pull it off again.

    Carowinds: General Discussion

    Amazing thats held as long as it did. Thank goodness it was a B and M. I suspect their coasters have multiple layers of redundancy for their structural integrity. I think they will call for a worldwide inspection of all their coasters just to be on the safe side. They need to know if this is...

    Future of the Congo River Rapids

    Well done Towers. My concern now is that a minority of idiots will be disregarding rules, standing up and swapping seats, which would leave towers with no choice, but to turn them off again. This is why we can't have nice things!

    [2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

    I know that TG Cruise were involved in a number of Merlin projects in the past, but there have been mumblings on these forums that they weren't used again (for example on Wickerman), due to groundwork issues with The Smiler ( though to be fair, I don't know how true these rumours are, not to...

    [2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

    Never ceases to amaze me how on a site like Nemesis they install track from separate directions and get it to meet within a clearance of a fraction of an inch (I know they had one hell of a time forcing and bending the last price of The Smiler to fit in which explains a lot). As this is a B and...

    [2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

    I think it looks fantastic Let's hope that paint protection technology has come a long way recently. I did wonder if they may install more near misses or reduce the clearance in certain places. It's amazing how you can make a coaster seem so much faster by doing this? There are parts of...
