Alton Towers and Thorpe Park have way too many black coasters.

TYSLOWTA is the first thing I thought of.

It's a shame it can't be 9 characters. That would be TOYSLOWTA.

Merlin has such a... weird marketing team.

Actually, more often than not, they stop the train halfway out of the station because they (either ops or riders) are moving too slowly and still need time to check restraints, and I haven't seen Texas Giant running three trains once this season.

If we outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns.

Adjustment of roll by its rate = best idea ever

Archy stepped in.

Everyone should just give up now.

They took out the swinging gate they load the train from and added a couple wooden walls to direct everyone to that gate. They also put some permanent/official-looking signs in the queue saying they were "trying out" this system. I really hope they don't keep it or spread it to other rides.

It just seems to me that when you have 14 rows to fill, and the riders have no say in which one they sit in, it's a bad idea.

I went to SFOT last night and the first ride I headed for was Texas Giant. When I made it into the station I saw that they were testing out a new way to load the ride. When a train came into the station, it didn't stop. It just slowed down to maybe about 1 mph or so. As each car crossed a certain li...

I had no idea this thread existed.

Well here's some Keith Merrow 7 string action.



btw tmv8888, you are a kickass bassist.

I ask them why the lines are so long if they weren't fun/were dangerous.

0:59 "Basically... it's not been proven."

F*ck you, yes it has.

That kid looks like Bert Kreischer.

You mean where the Judge is? There's not much room to work with there either. But I guess that's why I'm not paid to come up with the next great ride idea.

One thing's for sure: If it's gonna be a new coaster, then they're doing a great job at keeping it a secret.

The only rumor I heard was a possible 400+ ft Star Flyer like the one going into SFNE. Removing Flashback and the Chute Out won't make a very big plot of land for anything other than a flat ride, provided they're not also including all of that unused space over by Flashback where the bumper cars wer...

...and not give a straight 0.25 rate when someone else does the same thing you do.

Entropy himself said that ^

It depends if it's on a different block or not. If those pieces of track are on separate blocks, then it's technically a fail.

You can only achieve the appropriate wear marks in three months if you...

Lol I think A113 has proven the point that the thought process should go farther than the one in his picture. As far as I'm concerned, topper track is like regular wooden track except the steel part (sorry, never learned the term) is stronger. Iron Horse track, on the other hand, is entirely steel s...

It almost looks like a setup to a zero-G roll or something.
