What I find most annoying is the fact that some people (mainly Americans), watch this video and then leave comments such as: This coaster is nothing compared to rides we have in the US, or, Wild Eagle will be better. That just annoys me sooo much as there is a height restriction over Thorpe park due to a flight Path so they cant build a massive kingda ka height ride, but this doesn't necessarily mean that the rides are and less intense.

i read in a yahoo article that the crash dummies lost arms and legs

Slow...... I guess even dummies limbs get bored and fall off!

i must have watched this vid 20 times and even i thought it was a little slow but now i concentrate more i can see see the whole thing is actually pretty fast if you think about it carefully

@Cryptically Yeah, that was a shitty publicity stunt

[thedimeckks]

@MattCamMans So many people comment on rides that are in america saying there rides are sooo much better, you guys do it too.

@Nerdydolfin I must also admit that I am a bit of a coaster addict myself, show me, a picture, and I will be able to say what ride it is and where it is found! :/ I also make models (more as a hobby some weekends) and prefer small, fiddly detailed things!

[Nerdydolfin]

@MattCamMans Keep in mind that I probably know a lot more about coasters than most Americans. As a model builder I know that it can be kinda fun building under restrictions (I once had to build a model small enough to fit in a box that I could bring into class) and it makes the coasters no less amazing.

@Pursuit4Truth09 If its not to your taste, than don't bother leaving a comment! Its not designed to be that way anyway! :-(

[MattCamMans]

@Nerdydolfin You are one of the very few Americans who feel that way though, besides, this ride only cost around 20 million which is nothing compared to your coasters and also, like I said before, we just cant build up with our coaster as it will either 'ruin' the landscape or interrupt a flight path! Take Alton Towers as an example. They built Nemesis down rather than up, but dos that make is any less amazing? In fact, I asked Coaster Force, and they said it was by far their best invert!
