Thorpe Park: General Discussion

Beating the height record by 1ft is quite funny. As was mentioned in the old thread, can't imagine BPB will be happy with that!

What do we make of this?
Starting to make sense now. They have grabbed a bargain no doubt. Hahahahaha

So could this be a new style inverting coaster from B&M?
No it's a Mack coaster. Confirmed.
The Big One is 213 feet above ground. This is being measured by the same rationale, not above sea level (would be interesting to know what Thorpe was above sea level actually).
Ahhhh okay, so it is a fair bit higher then.

Around 50ft, so bring on the 286ft coaster

Apparently it’s actually 246ft or 75m, so it beats Big One by 11ft.Exciting to see the ride but 1ft higher than the Big One is a touch disappointing.

Is that post taking the mick/joking or actually true? Little disappointing if so lol.

Ha! You wait nine years for a new coaster and it could potentially be a scrapped Six Flags concept
Joking aside even if this is apparently true, I think it's a great fit. Thorpe don't need more inversions though, but as long as the airtime is good I'll be happy.
Will start to get excited when the news comes from the horse's mouth though.

Same. I haven't been since the Swarm opened. Had my rides and got the hell out of dodge. Hahahaha.
