No Limits rules!,

track looks like poop to me, i mean, i could have been that much more compact and have more speed...but that's just me...

That ride pumped a lot . They better learn how to shape some nodes.

The layout looks pretty cool to, but it doesn't look to have very good capacity.

Wow! THey keep on making great designs one after another. The Helix and Airtime hill look great.

whats up with that little left banking after the mcbr and before the roll? anyways i think it looks kinda fun and no matter what its still a new coaster. I think the windows media player said 'speed' because it was based on the speed you decided to download. Dial up was prolly 'speedlow' amd broadband was 'speedhigh'

really nice design, only it's too bad about the only mcbr brake in the track. So it probably would have a pretty low capicity. But that airtime, overbanked, loop combination is interesting.

And what about learning ol????????? some pumping fixes? [;)][lol]

Meh, this ride is really mediocre IMO. We've seen it all before.

My guess was based on the link; http://www.oakwoodthemepark.co.uk/rides/speed.htm

Yeah the ride does feature nothing new, but it still looks good - great pacing and a well stuck together layout, quite the opposite of repetitive I like the exit of the barrel roll, directly into the highly banked turn. The following transition and the speed bump look nice, too...

Everyone owes me for finding this page [;)]

Well actually i was linked to it on coasterforce and then decided to let you guys know. [:)]

Looks good to me, they just realoly need to work on their nolimits skills.

^Oh yes, they really have some work to do to get smooth tracks. Seems to be an ok coaster to me.

Have you ever been on Megaphobia? Looks like a really good CCI and its in the UK, so if you haven't you should get to it so you know what your missing out on!!! And then you won't be missing out on it anymore.

lol. No i have never been on a woody [:(] Megafobia is quite a long way away, and the only time i have been to Wales was when my team got to the Play offs at the Millennium stadium in cardiff!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAHOOOOOOO Rock on. *cough* anywayyyyyyy, yes i need to get down to ride Megafobia sometime, but next year i wont get the chance. Im making Thorpe my priority for next season, and then flamingoland, to ride thier new coasters, then i will also visit Alton as i do every year. [:)] And thats basically all the trips i get a year. Maybe one more.

Anyway i think this looks a decent ride. Really good fun, and great news for Oakwood.

is there anywhere you can download the NL file?

this roller coaster looks like the roller coaster at Vild-Svinet(bonbon Land) and its looks like a clone of it so i hope it turns out okay

^Actually Mat, this coaster will be 40 feet taller than Vild-Svinet.

But remember, the usual Eurofighters are about 85feet high, as to this one in oakwood is going to be 120, so the speed will be a big difference, and also u have to remember that this is oakwoods first steel coaster, so im sure after this one it should get better as the years go on. And also its the only rollercoaster that goes MORE than vertical in the uk. So i would be a great experience do you think? The name of the ride i think will be speed, because on the official website wich is www.oakwoodthemepark.co.uk It has pictures of the rollercoaster and if u right click them and save as the name its given to save the picture is Speed, so it cant be the speed connection.

I think the track looks good. It has some good moments of air time, and some inversions, and a crazy helix, whats not to like?

This will be a much needed addition to Oakwood, i can't help thinking the parkhave an odd collection of rides there's lots that cater for very young children, and a great collection of thrill rides but not much inbetween apart from the waterslides

[coolbeans326]

Yeah, they need some starter rides, I think. Some might think the Eurofighter might be a starter, but from the looks of it, its gonna have some fierce elements which might scare away first time riders, or people who don't have much experience on a coaster, so who knows.

Latest new update;

Construction has suddenly motored ahead on the new Gerstlauer Eurofighter coming to Oakwood this season. Most of the supports are in place, and track is starting to be put up aswell.

I don't remember posting that, or can't even see how I came up with that idea....[confused]

Looks pretty cool. But in the latest ACE newsletter I got (yep I am a member) that one of Gertslauer's biggest projects will be coming to the US in 2007. We may be getting our first Eurofighter, but who knows?
