Man that lifthill sudden angle change looks like someone submitting a "realistic" coaster in the exchange who did that to their lifthill and didn't want to change the rest of their layout.

The kids in those videos make me want to die.

Shockwave at Drayton Manor made me understand the very real fear of actual death.

I approve of this message, I feel a little silly that I missed the idea that the train might simply move laterally to the second bay, and then move onto a seperate rocking platform, but I'm proud of how close I got with so little information.

I rode this thing today. Holy moly, he wasn't kidding, that sure was an incredible experience. I managed to ride it twice, and boy howdy did I find myself getting majorly obsessed with the technical detail and illusion of that ride; so with that, LET'S SPECULATE. we can skip past room one with Derre...

Girlfriend and I are planning a trip to Amsterdam this summer, we've got a day we can use to go to a theme park, what are your recommendations, Hollandish people?

So we want to go to Thorpe Park March 17th? Do we know if that's when the Derren Brown ride will definitely be open too?

sterilisation prior to headset wear. The attendant dunks your face in a bucket of freezing cold soapy water before you ride.

I'm happy to go with longer opening hours. right now I can't say for sure on weekdays, but weekends are always good.

Well I have some classmates who are very excited to go to theme parks, shall see if they wish to go to meets. if not, train tickets it is!

What are your suggested dates people?

Being in Plymouth with no car and limited cash makes things difficult, but I'm up for working out anything south england-ish. especially anything merlin, my card hasn't seen enough use! Are you permanently based in Plymouth at the moment? I guess Thorpe Park opening weekend will be good as you'll h...

I'll be moving to uni so I'm afraid I've made getting to most theme parks quite difficult during term time, make sure to post a good report!

all are fine with me, I'll just need to know who can give me a lift from bedfordshire (around about luton/bedford area) on those dates, or if I'll need to book public transport.

wink wink

Bump, I'm still interested, but I'll need transport because I am on minimum wage.

those last two trips sound fun, just need to organise dates

I'm tight on money so I'll have to agree to each park on a case by case basis, but Thorpe Park is always doable cus I have a season pass

I'd love to go to blackpool for valhalla, thorpe park and alton appeal also.

That'd be nice Gould, thanks

sounds like you guys had an awesome time!

I DIDN'T KNOW THIS IS GOING ON AND I HAD NO CHANCE TO CHANGE MY PLANS SO YOU HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN SOON. PREFERABLY NEXT WEEKED.

are YOU serious?! I think I might cry.

It's nice to know I'm still loved. Especially by Dan. Thanks Dan. In answer to "Where have you been?" Essentially... busy. I've been at university since september and only just got back for the summer, Before that, I just sorta... forgot to check the forum. so I've got time to actually do ...

Yeah I'm back and stuff. I'm going to be heading to thorpe park this coming saturday (that'd be saturday the 21st of June, if you're bad at dates like myself) And I'm just wondering who wants to come down too! I'll be with my family, so if I split off, it won't be for the whole day, but it'll be gre...

As a 3D modeller myself, specifically trained in cinema 4D, I cringed. not at your modelling, it's fantastic. you have serious skill.
What made me cringe was sketchup. watch you extrude every single face one by one was just... ouch...
Wonderful work though. Very impressive.

I Knew There was a reason I spent ?????????250 upgrading my computer.

I originally thought I might need it to start off my career as an animator.

Now I know its true purpose.
