  1. I’m gonna go out there and say spike confirmed.
  2. So another day where Levi is closed, and Tridant has a 45 minute wait. 😕 I'm visiting next weekend but only have a few hours spare - really think my chances of getting on it are slim to none.
  3. It would be cost. Lots of venues just happily isolate smoke detection in rooms / zones per events. The detectors that go off IR/heat not just particulate matter in the air are exxy… but possible.
  4. It should probably have extraction fans for fire smoke anyway - haze would be extracted at the same time.
  5. It's not that hard. I do for in events all the time - some venues already have fire detection systems that work fine with haze. (You want haze, not smoke machines). Haze expands organically, and rises - so you just need to work out the timing for fan/haze cycles... which happens in bespoke events all the time.
  6. I think Disney have a nack of producing thrilling rides while making them accessable for kids too - it goes both ways. Tower of Tower delivers a huge bunch of quiet substansial forces but also can take on 4 year olds.
  7. If you enjoy your time at out parks, you'll definately enjoy your time more at Disney parks - regardless of your age.
  8. I hope they put one of those mist screens into 3rd generation scooby like pirates has. Perfect fit.
  9. Add a kicker magnet on the launch track right before the climb
  10. 100% this. It's like 10 seconds riding forwards or backwards on a straight bit of track at a moderate speed.
  11. Honestly though - for something that doesn't cost that much more, and was installed into Copperhead Strike which was built in 2019.. its a huge L
  12. No one cares about scooby - especially on a global scale. Top thrill dragster is a beast - a record smasher and a huge hit with GP and enthusiasts alike. Scrapping Wicked Twister makes sense if this is true (which I think it is) - there's no point having a mini version of the same ride (except inverted I guess). I also wouldn't be surprised if they added a non inverting loop to the top hat. Falling from over 400ft, facing forwards into a airtime hill (which ST should have had) then the top hat would be a completely new experience. The hydraulic system took up to a minute to reset in the hotter days, LSMs don't need this as long as they cool well enough.
  13. I kinda don't think you can put Scooby and Wild Mouse in the same category. Scooby is an indoor, themed ride - and Wild Mouse is an outdoor, former travelling carnival coaster with the best views of any roller coaster on the planet, and one of the only few remaining with a manual brake. Dingo Racer is an off the shelf meh.
  14. If they get a fast scoot out of the station and use a fast switch track (like Hagrids) behind the first launch… and then start the next cycle after the previous train clears the top hat, it might just work and be the same or quicker.
  15. At least they got to walk the track https://www.instagram.com/p/CotwvKNuUIB/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
  16. Looks like a swing launch might be coming 😴

  18. Looking pretty baron now - the “Christmas tree” has been removed
