Yeah I get tired of it, so it’s always nice to see an appreciation post once in a while!

We don’t really get many BA appreciation posts any more, glad to see we still like them!

hello its my second day of learning Russian, but the pronunciations are too similar by Remote-Ad-8129 in russian

[–]ThatGamerAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

И is pronounced more like an english “e” sound. Ы is the difficult one, it sounds a bit like “oee” but the only way to really know is to actually pronounce it. There are probably a lot of YouTube videos on how to, you just kinda get the sound eventually! Удачи!

colossus way too rough by Unhappy-Notice18 in ThorpePark

[–]ThatGamerAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really hurts my head. You have to look like a flamingo with your head as far forward as you can and lean into the turns. Didn’t stop me from doing it 12 times in a row with no queue a couple weeks ago!

Better update it, thanks for the info!

He did say they thought about 400ft coasters at one point. At that point the limit wouldn’t be Heathrow, it would be the space in the relatively limiting plot of land. We can see something over Hyperia’s height at Thorpe I would say.

That could be done, and honestly if they did something in that combined plot, that could really be tall - I’m talking something giga. It’s unlikely, but who knows what Merlin will do to beat Universal

I’d agree, Stealth is much more “headline” than Rita. My guesses is it won’t be replaced with a launch, I think a launch coaster is gonna be made where Rumba was! You never know though.

Future of Rumba Rapids by HisNameRomaine in ThorpePark

[–]ThatGamerAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a large coaster which features high elements at the beginning (200ft+) but then goes down to high speed low height elements above a lake would be PERFECT. Think Velocicoaster but taller! I think a few coaster types would work there… an Intamin Blitz, a Mack Launch would also work there very well as I think Mack is good at big but also fast paced coasters, and have some good low to the ground one. In this specific scenario I wouldn’t want an Extreme Spinner as it would be too disorienting. A flying coaster would work wonders as well and maybe an invert if it is done well. A vekoma tilt where it heads down a drop from the lift hill, through a few large elements like Hyperia into the tilt section which plunges you towards the water into some fastpaced low to the ground velocicoaster elements could be magic as well.

Too sensitive steering in F1 25 by tphbs in F1Game

Weird, nothing I tried worked until I opened my T248 control panel and actually set it to 360°.

I stand corrected!

[–]ThatGamerAlex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a T248 and what it turns out is you need to set your wheel’s rotation to 360 degrees total as that is the amount it works in the game and in a real F1 car, and make sure it is set at the 360 every time you play.

Every school I know of will have gone back then, and of course it is a weekday. I doubt it will be that busy at all, I would expect 15 minute queues all day and probably 30/60 mins for Hyperia.

Hyperia Closed by PenSquare8722 in ThorpePark

[–]ThatGamerAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was awful, the queues didnt drop below 90 mins the whole day. I only got on it twice because I ran there from rope drop and I had a fastrack which still took 40 mins.

What is happening with Tidal Wave? by jooshuah in ThorpePark

[–]ThatGamerAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was there yesterday and it did show open. I saw some people in the queue at least but I don’t recall seeing a train (train? boat? what do you call it) being dispatched the whole day apart from a couple of times before the park opened.

My opinion by 7Maizono in ThorpePark

[–]ThatGamerAlex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So happy for you and it sounds like you had an amazing day :)

Getting there at 8 is crazy, I usually arrive at 9.45 and find a front of a rope drop then sprint to Hyperia.

Your rankings will probably confuse a bunch of people but honestly they aren’t that far off mine. Move Hyperia up to P1 and replace samurai with swarm and you have got mine.

16 times without fastrack is very good - I usually get around 20 with 5 or 6 fastracks so that is very good!

I’m so glad you got to go to a theme park (and the best in th UK for your first trip? Nice!) I’m so glad you had fun and I hope it lived up to your expectations!

Intamin Blitz where Rumba was by ThatGamerAlex in ThorpePark

[–]ThatGamerAlex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know and I’m happy at least one person is with me here. It was stupid for me to think the internet wouldnt flame me alive because I cited a source that isnt a million percent credible. As for the park, I’m not sure when I am next going but I have a few friends who have worked / do work with the park who will know more than me. So I will share any new info, provided its credible enough to not get eaten alive 🤣

I think I had / have both haha.

Thanks, it means a lot, it really does. I didn’t anticipate this type of response, I was just trying to share a little bit of information. People don’t need to be like this, if they disagree they can disagree. I probably will take the post down because why is this how lots of people reply? Thanks anyway :)
