Thorpe Park: General Discussion

But Project Exodus is not really that much a multi-looper though is it? It only has two inversions. Exodus has more airtime moments than inversions, and while it won't offer as much airtime as other hyper coasters elsewhere in Europe, it still has a decent amount of airtime for a coaster in the south of England. I can count five airtime moments, those are: the first drop, the second drop, that crazy outward banked airtime hill, the wave turn and the final hill into the brakes. That is more airtime than any other coaster at Thorpe Park and quite a bit more airtime than at a lot of UK parks. A coaster does not need just traditional camel backs and bunny hops to provide airtime. Exodus has a modern layout, it provides the UK market with some truly 'out there' airtime and hangtime moments found on world class RMC and Intamin coasters. We've got a stall and we've got two crazy banked airtime moments, one of which is quite a bit taller than the outward banked airtime hill on Kondaa, and according to a creator of one of the recreations on YouTube, it will provide some decent floater too. So there should be a mixture of floater and ejector on this coaster. I'm pretty excited that we are finally getting a coaster like this, one that does have the international coaster enthusiast community salivating. It truly is about time that Thorpe had a stand out coaster, and they finally seem to be getting one.

I'm actually not sure whether I'm more worried about the short layout or what Thorpe are going to theme it to, I hope they are past their horror IP phase as they were getting a bit over-reliant on them.

I think the SoS could well take longer to make their decision, not least because the holder of the post recently changed entirely, transitioning from Simon Clarke to Michael Gove.

Rumour has it that he won't push down his restraint because he's "sick of experts of telling us what to do"...

Gove is the Secretary of State for Levelling Up....
But like I say, these things are usually signed off on the recommendation of someone else.

If only this application were passing through the office of the Secretary of State for Mid Course Brake Runs.

And Mandy Thompson fumes that she can't boast to having the tallest UK coaster.
Still, looking forward go see a giant coaster of this size get built in this country.

You just know that when it comes to re-tracking the lift-hill and first drop it will get a slight adjustment to make it a couple of feet taller
.Great news about Exodus being finally approved though.
Wonder if M&D's claim to have Scotlands tallest coaster? Have they got a wacky worm, that'll do it.

Suprise they haven't, then I guess even they can't care less about claiming anything which tells you how much they really care about the place.Wonder if M&D's claim to have Scotlands tallest coaster? Have they got a wacky worm, that'll do it.
