So has anyone seen much happening with the extreme H20 zone such as the tower or slide segments? Its getting pretty close to opening so I would hope a fair bit has happened.

Becase the place is called "Interchange Park", rember the word park doesnt just mean a theme park, it could be car park, a raceway (Eg Calder Park), a pubic open space (Eg Albet park) or in this case "park" is referring to the fact that it is a buisness park. Sorry Bussy, i think your brand of humour is just not understood by some around here.

Or you could just roll a die with a ride assigned to each number except for one (Because there are 5 rides, not 6)

Whoops, i just realised thunder river isnt a big five ride, so ill just go out on a limb and say the claw.

Nope, 5 is the number of cars that there will be.

I havent been for ages, so my favourite ride from my last visit is THUNDER RIVER

The ones used in california are the stacked type so there arent any 270 degree ramps. they are all 90 degree ones that are built up over each other. It looks more like the ones used here.

Just a question, where is the rides entrance?

The other good thing to help capacity is 5 car trains, many other Accelerators use 4 car trains.

Yes, you missed probably their best, mission space .

What about giving realistic answers, but being nice at the same time, I think once upon a time we all thought of some crazy ideas, but as we learnt more about rides we saw how some of these things would be impractical.

Personally, I think the old one looked better. Even without the slides the building could have been done better. Still its pretty cool.

I guess it will have the advantage of discouraging me from TV during year 12.

So is there now absolutley nothing left of the park?

And how many trains are there, If there is only one I would be a bit annoyed.

Well, Isn't that what the ring of seats is supposed to do, turn right around.

I guess they have never heard of a rail buff. Anyway, good work there Paul.

If charge was somehow getting into the buildings structure due to something not earthing properly (BTW transformers would not be earthed because it would be pretty stupid having a transformer stepping down to 0 volts), it still would not have gone through the kid because any current would just go through the building because it has a lower resistance than human flesh. Im guessing the kid just built up a fair bit of static charge and then earthed himself by touching the fencing, giving himself a shock. As for the speed display showing 235kph, i bet you the speed measuring device was made by Poltech

So what did that sign on the big dipper say?

Would you be able to host them on your webspace, then provide a link?

Personally, I dont think it would be effective at all to build anything thats the tallest/fastest/strongest etc simply because there arent enough to people to care. It can be worthwhile doing in the US or Europe because there is a broader population where the ride is heard about, whereas down here its realy just our small population. And of course the record probably wont stand for more than a few years so you lose out in that respect. Theres also the maintenance and reliability issues that come with big rides. They should just save themselves the effort and build something good, because if a ride is good, its always good. Take Wipeout and the Claw for example, they hold no records and are both fairly low cost flat rides, yet they are still many peoples favourites

Cool, but my gosh what an original name.

I couldnt find it, could you give a link to the page?

What about a ride like the bungee rocket one at Surfers, but with a ring of 9 seats and four cables and four towers instead of two seats, two cables and two towers.

Forgot about the S bend at the bottom of the lift, I reckon there would be a good chance that the thing could derail if there was a rollback.
