Arrrggghhh!

Regular visitors to New Links will know that (amongst other things) we like our Roller Coasters. I've just come back from my travels and I went on the Montezum. It was built in 1999 and is still one of the top ten tallest and fastest wooden coasters in the world.

Now, do you want to emulate those "coaster thrills" at home? Bored with Roller Coaster Tycoon..? Then try CoasterDynamix..!

via another NL site, this time punkey.com!

You're getting better - Dynamix one only 4.5 months old ;)

I've got loads of coaster pics from my WITW before last as it was Blackpool.

I've been to Alton Towers for my birthday for the last 4 years, and I've been to Six Flags Magic Mountain [home of Superman - The Escape]

Interesting coaster fact... there's a ride at Hopi Hari in Brazil (where I went on the Montezum), that used to be at Alton Towers, when it was called the Thundershot (I think). It's the one that had a straight track, and a loop.

Quite good, (when it was at Alton Towers) but it was broken when we went to HH last week, so I didn't get the chance to go on it. Otherwise I would've been on the same coaster on two different continents. Which would've been cool..

The Thunder-Looper?
That ride was awesome. i remember going on that when I went to Alton Towers with my Scout group.
hmm, must have been a while ago.

That's the one!

Here it is in it's new home!

And if you read the second story down, you'll find out why it was moved..

Do you want to know more...?

Bryn said...

They moved it cos it showed above the trees?
Then replaced it with the novelty "spinning & get soaked" ride aka Ripsaw.
thats fscking weak.
