Ive heard its going to be 7G's... but Im not sure if I believe that, seeing that oblivion is only 4.5G's

7G's you would be passed out.


I went there and saw the plans for it, looks good. however a long wait till opens.


You go up high (quick)

and drop FLIPPING HIGH !

I think it's 0 - 80 in 2.5!!

FASTER THEN ANYTHING :P

-Soph-
30-10-2005, 01:53 PM
80mph I take it :p

And now you see why I dont believe the 7G's thing :p
I think 5G's would be more realistic :P

Saw it last sunday up close, its huuugeee, twice the size of Detanator, and oyur body can only take about 5 g's, or your ribs crack under pressure, (how nice ;)). The Project is called Project Stealth, but the ride name is yet to be announced.

the maximum your body can take is 9G's, but no rollercoaster gets anywhere near that much, only fighter jet planes etc.. get anywhere near that.. *I learnt that from the oblivion queue line video - LMAO - no seriously*

I wish alton towers could built a ride like that, but they cant because of there horrible height limits ;[

-Soph-
17-11-2005, 07:03 PM
O_o actually, they didnt copy rita, rita copied them, stealths been planned for over a year now, rita wasnt even planned, it was only built because alton towers got a cheaper price for it because it was a cancelled order from another park xD

I only realy know about thorpe park, but motorbike coasters were due to be built at Alton Towers, but the plans were scrapped.
Namewise, there was a poll on the site which included names like The Humdinger!
The name was due to be released in october, but i believe it was scrapped due to a certain pizza company. Does "The Edge" spring to mind?

-Soph-
23-12-2005, 04:50 PM
they had to get another name because of pizza hut?
thats pretty pathetic ;p
and I thought the new ride was going to be broomsticks, not motorbikes ;p

JackBuddy
23-12-2005, 05:03 PM
Probably themed as broomsticks, but the type of ride is called "Motorbike coaster" or something. It's basically Velocity at Flamingo Land. Copyright issues are so complicated! Lol. Alos another rumour is that Disney Land are planning to use that name in the future.

they were going to build a wooden rollercoaster too, but the plans were turned down

JackBuddy
23-12-2005, 05:20 PM
Wasn't it because it was above the trees and that trees must be knocked down? I think wooden coasters are noisy aswell, but i've never ridden one.

-Soph-
23-12-2005, 05:22 PM
yeah it was because its above the trees, Looked great as well, Ive seen the plans for it, Suppose it would be noisy too...

Coasterforce is down! I can't check, but wasnt is supposed to be tallest and fastest in the U.K? That's not really hard to beat considering there arn't too many wooden coasters! Rumour says that 2008 will be the year ;)

-Soph-
23-12-2005, 05:29 PM
O_o I didn't get that one of coasterforce ;p
Not sure about the tallest but Im pretty sure it was ment to be the fastest xD

JackBuddy
23-12-2005, 05:32 PM
Lol, BRING BACK THE FISH! I loved that ride! It's needed the only coaster little kiddies can go on.

The ageing Zodiac has apparently left now, with the same type of ride in it's place. Rumour has it it is Cyclone from Drayton Manor.

Around the park, some things have changed.
Zodiacs replacement IS Cyclone from Drayton Maor, I just hope it's going to be themed!
Tidal Wave has a new sponcer "Original Source" and the area has had patches painted in a BRIGHT blue. Boats have also changed colour.
Also, the park has a new entrance, with roller coaster tracks going over top of it.
