Nice. I was kinda worried the park would be too small, but seems like they crammed enough in there. The drop tower concept is awesome.

If the park was just the Gerstlauer mess with like 5 flats around it it would be plenty big for an indoor mall lol

You're probably right, I was looking at this from too much of a personal standpoint, as the only reason I'd probably visit is for the rides haha.

The model has shown up again at Gerstlauer's booth at IAAPA.

Looks like the spinner's drop is a headchopper on the steep drop.

Actually very interested in the spinner, more so than the eurofighter!

That's a bit disappointing, but it will most likely still be great.

What are these for?

Imagine the ideal situation "a spinner versus a multi-looper" - that's gonna be exciting! :-)

Personal coaster count as of 3/2025 -- 222
"500" perhaps by the end of this year.

I still don't understand the whole "world's steepest" thing given both the existence of the Screamin' Squirrel, and the fact that you can't really get steeper than straight down.

Screaming' Squirrel is so steep tho that it's an inversion - so it doesn't count as a "steep drop"
Ok but how desperate you have to be to voluntarily fly from another country to go to Thorpe?

It's similar to the age old question "Is it a coaster?", but even less pertinent to an enthusiast.

I just noticed the spinner is pretty dang tall relative to the inversions. Were statistics released for it?

It will be the world's tallest spinner so it will have to beat out Time Traveler's 100 feet.

I thought they were branding it worlds tallest "free spinning" coaster due time traveller's magnets.

Time Traveler is technically free spinning it just uses a magnet to control it if it gets too out of hand.
