We may have broken the #TrainlessTuesday rules... but we think you'll forgive us. 😉 Flight of Fear is in our Maintenance Shop undergoing some pre-season prep for 2025!

@TRPhotography23 @THORPEPARK Always wanted to see a cross-section view of the wheel/shaft/gearmotor stack there.

@KSlideStudios @SpeculationMatt @UniversalORL Still kinda annoying they spent all this money on an incredible park, customizing absolutely every single element…. Except the actual ride, and bought an off-the-sheld bone-stock flat ride. Maybe they don’t realize Mondial exists, and builds totally custom machines?

@LampsandCoaster @UniversalORL Would absolutely love to see a plot of the forces through this element. It’s just bonkers and I still can’t wrap my head around it. 😍😵💫

@AmusementInside Oh, very good point (about longer positives afterward)! Either way, you’re right in that the effect should be quite negligible and they obviously know what they’re doing ☺️

@AmusementInside But wouldn’t the same problem exist on the way up? (Positives to negatives)? ie the profile of the hill is roughly symmetric

@hehhehhyohyo Oh there’s all sorts of other ICTS lines out there! Toronto just decided they hated theirs and to throw it in the trash like a kid throwing a tantrum. Pathetic really

@KSlideStudios The construction will be so interesting to follow; truly a ship in a bottle. Two very challenging coaster assembly projects in Canada (this, and AlpenFury)!

Bye! 💅🏼
Been vocally skeptical about the immediate rumours but the doom posters get to take this one home. My people could verify today that the hammer has come down on Time Warp at Canada’s Wonderland. Last ride was a walk-on in October. Rest in peace you wonderful janky beast.
