You bunch of absolute muppets. 😢 yes, generalising here before anyone comes at me...

Whatever do you mean? ;)

Not that I've done a forensic check, but RCDB has it as a Turbulence clone: https://rcdb.com/21756.htm

I mean, that's attempted murder, right?

I don't think we're the right forum for this.

So 2024 was a bit atypical for me. I finished work at the end of January with a 9 month sabbatical (I restart again next Monday). It was a sort of 'honeymoon' year for us - as we got married in March - and we split the year into three parts: Trip 1 - Asia & South Pacific (countries in order...

It sounds like a weird Hyperia-Pantheon love child. Except it won't be anything like as good as either of them.

Unacceptable. ;)

Don't get me wrong, I really did like Hyperia when I rode back on the press night (haven't ridden again since), but... I'd probably have still preferred a B&M Hyper. I'm a sucker for the model, what more can I say?

It looks particularly good with the white supports too - the contrast is great.

Done. :)

Okay sure - 39mph. I made sound rounding assumptions to do it quickly on my phone. Point still stands - those coasters crawl over the top hats (or even roll back), so neglecting the air resistance and then trying to work out if they'll need trims is futile.

But you're neglecting the two largest things slowing it down... like... eh? By that maths, Kingda Ka would crest the hill at a little over 60mph. Air resistance and friction are doing nearly as much work in slowing the train down as the fact it's climbing the tower in the first place. The air...

This. With a minor tweak. Home = laptop or desktop, Work = laptop. We share a Windows laptop and desktop and iPad in the household - and my phone is an Android - so I often find the iPad 'hard' to use as it's unfamiliar to me. I'm sure everything I would need to do it possible, but it always...

Moral support? :D

Worth a shot 2

Oh please, there's always a lumpy-pumpy corner or two in there somewhere. Albeit I'm willing to concede that their family coasters are usually pretty excellent overall. Not that that train looks much like a family coaster train to me, mind...
