To clarify, it's kingspan or some other form of sandwich panel, not canvas.

Dinosaurs Alive? We've been taken over by Cedar Fair! I'm intrigued by this "Jurassic Coaster" though?

They will indeed, at one point the train will dive under the wing of a crashed passenger aircraft, and the inline twist will go through a ruined church tower.

Holy crap, that thing is belting through the turns

Also, walking through the ride scenes would be satisfyingly musty, like the smell of opening an old book, or the smell of the aircon in a public school demountable when switched on.

but most of the time what you've posted is some emotionally charged post about how much you dislike MW.... How's a reasonable person going to know when it's legitimate, or a joke? ...Or is it joking all the time?

The A4 signs are part of the "full glory" you come back for though.

Personally, I think that the 'historical charm' angle of LPS/LPM is a bit of a cop out to actually providing a decent park on their part. Places such as Grona Lund show the right way to have a historical waterfront park with severe space limitations, yet still manage to provide high quality modern attractions.

^Oooh, like Dreamworld with Shockwave. Temporary fences and plastic storage bins one week, PVC piping and green bark chips the next.

Whats the actual mass of the counterweight made of? Is it an old boiler filled with concrete.

I did well in Uni too. Also http://www.urbandict...Nostalgia%20Fag Blame them for coming up with such an apt phrase! If you had an imagination, you'd be able to think of ways to move WBMW forward, without just resorting to "Put in what they used to have (Which someone else originally designed, not you), and throw a parade in its honour". I don't see what the big issue is, you don't see me having a whinge because something I read on the internet bothered me deeply. I just get on with it. If I felt doing the above was important, I'd sit on youtube all day in the comments section and be all anally retentive over there....

Wasn't aimed at you Jobe

Good to see the nostolgiafags out in force with their valid, practical suggestions.

People shagging in the bushes/dunes.

Yeah most rides stay in the same place for ages, except ekka/show rides. Problem? They aren't going to go to the expense and inconvenience of moving it unless there is a genuine need.

Bermuda had the sound beamed to each boat via infrared, and each had a detector on the bow, roughly the size of an alarm clock. Not sure what powered the speakers.

What do you mean?

There has been a misquote anyway, GL will use capacitors, not batteries, so there shouldn't be the same degradation issues. That's also how they can charge so quicky. Capacitors have been the standard method for powering onboard audio for a little while now.

Why then?

Quite often too, ride vehicles will have lights on them that indicate that harnesses are lowered enough for each seat or that belts are done up.

The ride doesn't go for 9 mins, so presumably they'll need less than 90 secs anyway. Even with a full 90 second charge, I can't see a capacity reduction .... The charging rails will begin say at the block brake before the station, and continue right through the unload and load sections. I reckon It's gonna take at least 90 seconds for cars to clear this whole process anyway, and they'll be recieving charge the entire time.

To be fair, Efteling is like a small disney park, in terms of attendance and capital investment...Their 2013 attraction will be over 40,000,000 EUR for instance.

One for DjRappa (Or anyone who likes cool stuff), but check out what Efteling is doing for its winter event. Bascially, they've mapped projections to the facades of some ride buildings. In this case, it's Villa Volta, which is a Vekoma Madhouse.

Bingo. Looked to be about the size of the old batman store. So this thing has 7 cars? Anyone else reckon its so they could say have 6 at all times, with 1 having work done on it. Pretty hard to see 7 running without extreme stacking.

Didn't get any pics, but on the Manor side of the creek, beside the point where the bridge to the studios crosses over, a concrete block building is being constructed.
