Paid Members Monkee Posted January 14, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 14, 2021 The Velocicoaster looks really cool and I’m glad they’ve built another coaster but it looks really short. And when you’re on it I bet it feels even shorter. What’s the average ride time? The lights look amazing in the dark though and I can’t wait to see the finished ‘atmosphere’ additions like the foliage and anamatronic/still dinos.

Would it be a case of just going to that channel or do I need to have a mic or anything? My gf would enjoy this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume it will work fine on the Xbox though but if not just grab the app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Cool, didn’t realise there was an app so I’ve downloaded it. As you can tell, I get my tech and pop culture advice from my mate Vince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted March 3, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 3, 2021 Construction is to start again immediately on Epic Universe!  I was getting the feeling that this was dead in the water, but it’s back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is great news. Mainly because its been one of the few Comcast things making money right now. Interesting as they are only at 25% capacity still. I was worried with them closing Barney that was going to be the home of Nintendo Land, now that will hopefully be back at Epic and not be retrofitted in.

Paid Members quote the raven Posted March 14, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 14, 2021 Universal will build a whole new park in less time than Disney built GOTG. Universal are stupidly quick at making stuff happen.  I think i will look into October 2022 to head back.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Monkee Posted March 15, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 15, 2021 I know it’s a similar concept to the Rip Ride Rockit and I’ve been on that, but the idea of so many upside-down bits with just a lap bar makes my teeth itch. I love rollercoasters but only because I feel safe with things over my head, belts, bars, etc. One time on the RRR the lap bar wasn’t down far enough for my liking and I shit myself all the way round. It wasn’t fun and that might’ve been the last time I went on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidB6937 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Not sure I've ever been on Rockit without feeling like I was going to die on it. I assumed that was part of the charm 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the main thing that put me off going on for years. I don’t like vertical rises or full vertical drops on coasters (e.g. Stealth). It’s strange because I don’t mind an angled rise with the neverending tik-tik-tik of the chains but there’s something about just staring up into the sky that’s so much worse. I think I’ve been on RRR twice and listened to Sabotage by Beastie Boys both times. Concentrating on that helped a bit but I can totally understand not wanting to go on for that specific reason.

I prefer a launch coaster like Mummy Returns or Aerosmith.  Just about handle Everest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
