Whoop I'm there tomorrow. No doubt it will be closed by then !
Why though? They already have a multi-looper and I'm sure not even Merlin are that stupid!
Plus, if the woodie at AT goes well, maybe we could get a bigger version down at thorpe?
For example, wood!Thorpe needs airtime.
They already went for a woodie and merlin said no (an early concept for the ride that eventually became saw). I don't think the one at towers will affect thorpe in any way, SW8 Is a family ride, and thorpe will no doubt go for the thrill market. I agree that they're going to go for some gimmicky world record - not necessarily inversions, but it will be something like that. Where do people think it will go? Unless they find more room, im thinking saw: alive or loggers leap.
Saw was a much wiser investment than a wood coaster would have been at the time. For all the crap folks given Merlin about IPs, that one worked so well. It's a pretty uneventful EuroFighter at the end of the day, but word got round about it pretty quickly.For example, wood!
What does that matter, if nobody else in your market has one? Particularly when there's only one other on the continent. Greats rides mind, bring it on.Next cred will blatantly be a RMC, because it'll be about 6 years after everyone else has one...
here's the only reference I can find of it. Before building saw, thorpe looked at getting a GCI.
