^The problem with Ghostrider is that GCI diluted a lot of what made that layout great. It runs smoother than it has since about 2002 but the big airtime moments are a shadow of what they were.

Those paths right next to the rides look awesome.

Dark blue Millennium Flyers? That's certainly new.
Ok but how desperate you have to be to voluntarily fly from another country to go to Thorpe?

I really hope these parks start to draw in some serious numbers - it would be a real shame for these parks and rides to fall into disrepair.

Damn, what an amazing ride. That barrel roll into airtime hill finale is amazing.

That implementation of the heartline roll is the best I've seen I reckon.

Looks like the best B&M wingcoaster around. Now to see if the new enormous thing under construction in China dies 3/4 of the way through like Gatekeeper or not.

That looks pretty slow. D: But I still like the flow of that last element.

I'm guessing it's slower cause it's probably an empty test run train.

I'm not really loving this one. Among Chinese wing coasters, Parrot Coaster looks a lot better.

The layout itself just seems a bit boring, like the final inversion is creative but the layout is very sequential.
