of course HP are gonna cancel their tablet, they've just got hold of webOS, so they're gonna concentrate development of a tablet with that, rather than release a one shot with windows 7.

I see what looks like a number of corkscrews. Could be a B&M as it's BG favoured manufacturer, but possibly a new type of coaster as there are rumours in that direction for such a prototype in europe next year.

I'd be amazed if there wasn't some deflection in the structure, especially given that they had to support the lift hill more while building it.

Looks awesome, knocks seven shades of poop out of thirteen

Originally posted by slosprint The sad thing is this could have been so much better executed. Rather than having the drop track attached to those giant pillars, they could have it attached to separate, vertical tracks which would allow it to go into actual free fall. I would have also liked to see ...

initial rumours said the F1 coaster would be about 150mph. pictures I've seen show it's trimmed right up the first airtime hill, so it's gonna be fast as hell, thats for sure

I had my hopes up for something mega-lite-ish for the bit up to the drop track. It just doesn't look that good atm. Looks like there was a bit too much cost control on the track part imo. The drop itself looks far better on the central news report, where it's filmed from a camera off ride. It just "...

I would sign a petition against slaughtering unicorns. They're the purest creatures, and it says in harry potter that the killers live a half life afterwards. I don't wish that on the killers.

still not gonna revolutionise the wooden coaster world. That track is going to be far more expensive to work with than wood in initial manufacturing.

Don't know about the smoothness. If the cars are still PTC with their daft (in this day and age) twin axles, they'll still bang all over the place.
