Scott Dodgson Health and safety, if a drone is spotted over the site or overpark, all rides have to close causing massive downtime for everyone on park.
John Paul Kenzitt tbf this pic doesn’t show the completed ride, the lift hill, which the top of is the highest point, isn’t even built yet on here! 😂😂🤷🏻♂️
Danny Cartwright I’ve seen the completed ride aswel, I know this picture is old… it still doesn’t look that big to me… I’ve been looking at a roller coaster this high, for 30 years…
John Paul Kenzitt yes I know lol, it’s been testing after all 😂😂. What I meant was this is an old photo, and the lift hill which is the highest point isn’t shown on it 🤷🏻♂️🙄
John Paul Kenzitt contentious subject considering where you measure your northern coaster from! 235ft from sea level! This is 237 feet from ground level! There is over 20 feet in difference
John Paul Kenzitt it was good 30 years ago because there was nothing like it in the uk then, plus being the tallest 🙄 times have changed, it’s boring they need to do something with it. Why do you think the parks struggling. Needs a revamp.
John Paul Kenzitt If you stand lower than the lowest point of the coaster, of course it will look bigger 🤦♂️🤣 difference is Hyperia is much bigger and looks much more exciting. I love the big one, but it’s not the most thrilling coaster.
i was wondering where the lift hill was then pmsl
Matty Jones same lol, I was like that doesn’t look very high, then I realised 🙈😂😂

Why? How will drones affect testing? 🤔
Scott Dodgson it distracts the cars as they go around looking at the drones. 😂

It’s just really not that big… up north we’ve been looking at a ride this big for 30 years!

Danny Cartwright I was there Saturday and comparing it to stealth, it’s a lot higher! Can’t wait to get on it!

John Paul Kenzitt that doesn’t change the fact that it’s shit up north
Danny Cartwright it is… was completes weeks ago

John Paul Kenzitt it might not be much taller than The Big One but it’ll definitely be million times smoother 😂🤣😅
Neil Greenwell we northerners are used to hard graft so being knocked about abit doesn’t bother us.
John Paul Kenzitt good point didn’t think of it that way ☺️😂

Danny Cartwright it’s tiny
John Paul Kenzitt True. The big one seems pretty small when you realise it’s basically as tall as Stealth.
John Paul Kenzitt which is crap 🤷🏽♂️
Nick Barnett if it was crap it would have been scrapped instead of standing for 30 years

John Paul Kenzitt The ride you’ve been looking at isn’t this big, but 23ft smaller 😏
Lewis Chapman look at it from the beach it is exactly this height!!!! That’s why looking at it doesn’t blow me away!

Shoot them down. The law needs changing as it puts people at risk. If you have to ask why then refer back to common sense for your answer. 😃
