YES Andrew McCoy 98-186: Final Roller Coaster Project Doctor Who: The Ride Introduction: Doctor Who is the longest running sci-fi series in television history. It has captured the imagination of millions of viewers across the world, especially in the United Kingdom and United States. The time has come for the ride of a life time (maybe several life times in several different realities). From time vortexes to monsters from all reaches of time and space, Doctor Who: The Ride will complement the success and creativity of the TV series. The coaster will be a steel coaster with spinning cars, 4 riders per car, which are TARDIS themed (see figure 1 below). This will be an indoor coaster to enhance the theme of time and space travel, and will feature inversions. Gerstlauer Amusement Rides GmbH is the first manufacturer to accomplish inversions on an indoor, spinning car coaster and will be contracted to build the next generation in spinning car coasters. Figure 1: The TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space) Every time the ride is entering a time vortex, there will be an in-line twist, or corkscrew-like, element surrounded by a tunnel that appears to be a worm hole. Wormholes or time vortexes will separate the ride into three different phases according to Doctor Who monster. The three Doctor Who monsters to be featured on the ride, in order of encounter, will be the Cybermen, the Weeping Angels, and the Daleks (see figure 2 below). The Weeping Angel phase will be unique because this section will be timed such that the lights will be timed to go on and off every 3-4 seconds and angel statues will move and change position (see figure 3 below). Figure 2: The Cybermen, The Weeping Angels, The Daleks (left to right) Figure 3: The lights will flick on and off (white arrow) in 3-4 second intervals to for the Angels an atmosphere to move. Andrew McCoy 98-186: Final Roller Coaster Project Doctor Who: The Ride Park Research: Thorpe Park, United Kingdom Figure 4: Satellite Map of Thorpe Park – Target location outlined in red Thorpe Park is located in Chertsey of Surrey County in the UK. Originally the plot of land for the park was occupied by a rock quarry. In the late 1970s, Ready Mixed Concrete Limited flooded the quarry upon its closure. Lord Mountbatten, a rich UK real estate bro, financially and logistically helped the park officially open on May 24th, 1979 as an air exhibition center. The early 80s saw development of themes that would later be modified into what the park is today. For example, Space Station Zero opened in 1983 as a major attraction and would later become Flying Fish in 1990. A current thrill coaster opened in 1996 called “X: No Way Out”, known as the world’s first dark backwards roller coaster. In 1998, the Tussauds Group purchased the park and closed down the “dull” attractions like a theater and a ranger show. They opened a Dare Devil Drivers ride and a water ride called Wet Wet Wet! After 2000, the Tussaud Group collaborated with Merlin Entertainments to give the park more the thrill atmosphere we see today. Unfortunately, on July 21st, 2000 , a major fire erupted in the park and damaged the The Wicked Witches Haunt and Mr. Rabbit’s Tropical Travels. In the place of these, they eventually cleared land to develop Nemesis Inferno, a B&M inverted roller coaster. From 2003 – 2012, the major coasters and rides opened up with park increasing its presence as one of the UK’s top theme parks. In 2009, Saw – The Ride opened and was designed by Gerstlauer as a fighter roller coaster. In 2012, The Swarm (B&M wing coaster) opened. It currently is leased solely to Merlin Entertainments and is ranked as the UK #2 theme park. Currently known as the “The Nation’s Thrill Capital”, the park has 33 rides to offer guests, including 7 coasters and 5 water rides. It is divided into different sections including: Port Atlantis, Amity Cove, Lost City, Canada Creek, Calypso Quay, Ranger Country, Neptune’s Kingdom, Saw Island, and Swarm Island. Andrew McCoy 98-186: Final Roller Coaster Project Doctor Who: The Ride Summary of Thorpe Park Coasters: 1. Nemesis Inferno Year opened: 2003 Type & manufacturer: Steel – Inverted, B&M Height & Length: 95.2 ft, 2,460 ft Inversions: 4…Loop, Zero-G roll, Interlocking Corkscrews 2. X Year opened: 2013 (previously known as X: No Way Out from 1996-2012) Type & manufacturer: Steel – Sit Down, Vekoma Height & Length: 42 ft, 1,312 ft Inversions: none 3. Stealth Year opened: 2006 Type & manufacturer: Steel – Sit down, Intamin AG Height & Length: 205 ft, 1,312 ft Inversions: none 4. Colossus Year opened: 2002 Type & manufacturer: Steel – Sit Down Height & Length: Inversions: 10…Loop, Cobra roll, Double corkscrew, Quad heartline roll, heartline roll 5. Flying Fish Year opened: 2007 (most current version) Type & manufacturer: Steel – Sit Down, Mack Rides GmbH & Co KG Height & Length: 21 ft, 768 ft Inversions: 0 6. Saw – The Ride Year opened: 2009 Type & manufacturer: Steel – Sit Down, Euro-fighter, Gerstlauer Amusement Rides GmbH Height & Length: 100 ft, 2,362 ft Inversions: 3, immelmann loop, dive loop, barrel roll 7. Swarm Year opened: 2012 Type & manufacturer: Steel – Sit Down, Wing Coaster, B&M Height & Length: 127 ft, 2,543 ft Inversions: 5, dive drop, zero-g roll, inclined loop, corkscrew, in-line twist Assessment: The roller coaster line up brings out a lot of unique themes that many parks in the UK do not have. One hole that could be filled is introducing the spinning coaster concept. The park directors must already be open to the idea with the addition of the Swarm as a wing coaster. In addition, the Saw ride has an indoor element however it takes part of the ride out side which I think takes away from the intensity of the ride. Doctor Who: The Ride would build upon roller coaster concepts already explored and might even be more kid friendly than a ride like Saw. In addition, the theme of Doctor Who: The Ride is something that most UK park guests would completely understand and be excited to explore. Andrew McCoy 98-186: Final Roller Coaster Project Doctor Who: The Ride Coaster Research 1. Name: Veil of Dark Location & Year Opened: 2012, Tokyo Type & Manufacturer: Gerstlauer Amusement Rides Height & Speed: 16.4 ft, 23.6 mph Inversions: 1, inline twist POV Video Link: (best I could find) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLaqW0IWK8M Major Elements: 1st spinning coaster with an inversion Critique: I really want to take the element of the in-line twist, which is basically a corkscrew as the car spins, and use it in each time vortex on the Doctor Who ride. This coaster is the template design model for my ride except that mine is the next step: Larger, longer, and more inversions. A BBBA 2. Name: Thor’s Hammer Location & Year Opened: 2002, Denmark Type & Manufacturer: Steel – Sit down, Gerstlauer Height & Speed: 52.5 ft, ~20-30 mph Inversions: 0 POV Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoljQOr2UFM Major Elements: Gforce max = 3 Critique: I think that this ride has a tight turning series that I would like to capture for the Weeping Angels portion of the coaster. That will maximize the exposure to the moving angel statues and give the riders time to be scared. ABA 3. Name: SpongeBob SquarePants Rock Bottom Plunge Location & Year Opened: Nickelodeon Universe, MN, USA, & 2008 Type & Manufacturer: Steel – Indoor Eurofighter, Gerstlauer Amusement Rides Height & Speed: 67 ft, ~ 30 mph Inversions: loop, heartline roll, horseshoe POV Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLJm0IC3lQk Major Elements: Near vertical climb up first lift hill Critique: This ride shows the current ability for coasters to be designed indoor and feature multiple small inversions. Though is not the tallest coaster, it demonstrates the command of space that I’d like to have. ABBA 4. Name: Anubis – The Ride Location & Year Opened: 2009, Adinkerke-De Panne, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium Type & Manufacturer: Steel – Sit down, Gerstlauer Amusement Rides Height & Speed: 111 ft, 55 mph Inversions: dive loop, immelmann, corkscrew POV Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuI7GzBJxTE Major Elements: 0 – 55.9 mph in 2 seconds Critique: This coaster features a great collection of features that result in a solid steel coaster meant to balance both speed and thrill. This coaster shows the importance of having break runs in between major elements to give the rider a chance to take in the surroundings which is imperative for a successful indoor coaster.

  • ACE's Scandinavian Sojourn
    ACE’s Scandinavian Sojourn : A Southerner’s Perspective Story by: Richard Bostic, assisted by Ronny Cook When I went on the ACEspana trip back in 2009, it was by far one of the most amazing vacations I have ever experienced. In addition to getting to visit parks in a different culture than we see here, it is also a great opportunity to spend time with fellow enthusiasts and grow friendships while enjoying our common interests. When Scandinavia Sojourn was announced for the summer of 2011, I knew it was a trip I could not miss. Since the 2009 trip was my first trip to Europe I thought that there was no way the over- all experience could be better in Scandinavia. I was wrong. We landed in Helsinki, Finland around 1300 the day before we were required to be at the hotel to meet with the group. Helsinki is an interesting city and fairly new compared to many cities in Europe. Walking around the city you can see the Russian influence in the city’s architecture. In fact, many movies during the cold war would use Helsinki to shoot scenes that are supposed to be set in the Soviet Union. After making our way to the Crowne Plaza Hotel and getting a quick lunch at the hotel restaurant we decided to spend the remaining time that afternoon checking out some of the sites around our hotel. Some of these sites included the Temppeliaukio Church inside of a rock formation, the train station, Routatientori Square and National Theater, and a couple of the city’s art museums.

THE DOCTOR’S OFFICE - DAY 1 - 16.00 1 The quietest opening we’ve ever had. We’re in a reasonably untidy office. Dust and books. Obviously academic. A university lecturer’s office. We hold this stationary shot - there’s a pleasing symmetry. There’s a door on the left of the screen, and a slightly open one on the right - like the two doors on a weather clock. Through the slightly open door we can see another, smaller room. In between the doors, there’s a desk, facing across the screen. Two empty chairs. The one in front of the closed door, is a simple, wooden chair. Facing it across the desk is an elegant swivel chair. Distantly, a bell chiming. We hear the chatter of distant voices - young people, chatting and laughing. Under that, the drone of traffic. Ordinary and still, for as long as we dare. Then: Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! It’s like the squeaking wheel on a supermarket trolley - and it’s getting closer. Now the closed door opens, revealing: Nardole. Much as we last saw him in The Husbands Of River Song. He steps into the room (always a squeak on his left leg) revealing: In the doorway, Bill. Young, female, cheeky as hell. Nardole stands clear of the door, gestures towards the wooden chair.

    From your friends at Jackson Auto Worx JULY 2019 Summer’s Literal Ups and Downs It is said that life is a rollercoaster. It is also true that rollercoasters are, uh… rollercoasters. As summer is firmly here, we at Braking News are taking the plunge into one of America’s beloved summer pastimes; amusement parks. And specifically the thrilling feel of danger and excitement engineered for safety and mass consumption, the rollercoaster. • There are more amusement and theme parks in the United States than in any other country in the world. • According to the Roller Coaster DataBase, there were 4,639 coasters in operation around the world in 2018 — 4,455 of them steel, 184 wooden (3 of the woodies have loops in them! Take that, preconceived childhood notions!) • Of those 4,639 rollercoasters in the world, 19 of them are found in Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia California, the largest number of rollercoasters in any one park anywhere in the world. • California may host the park with the greatest number of coasters, but in order to experience the fastest roller coaster in the world, you’ll need to travel to the other side of the world. The fastest roller coaster, “Formula Rossa” ride, is located in Abu Dhabi’s Formula One theme park and launches its riders to a top speed of 149 miles per hour. • According to Guinness World Records, Bakken, located in Klampenborg, Denmark, opened in 1583 and is currently the oldest operating amusement park in the world. • The worlds fastest coaster may be in Abu Dhabi, but he tallest roller coaster is in the Six Flags Great Adventure Park in New Jersey.

  • Does It Have Fur Or Feathers? a Categorisation of Theme Park Attractions
    Does it have fur or feathers? A Categorisation of Theme Park Attractions Author: Frank Cornelissen Author ANR: U0396714 Supervisor: Pieter Cornelis 2nd Reader: Greg Richards Date: August 17th, 2010 Tilburg University Tilburg School of Social and Behavioural Sciences Department of Leisure Studies Preface & Acknowledgements One should think that the concept of ‘once bitten, twice shy’ would apply after finishing my bachelor thesis, yet a little over four months ago I once again found myself at the beginning of what then seemed an impossible task. The goal? To devise an empirically founded categorisation of theme park attractions. That task may seem simply at first, but when looking at attractions in the likes of, to name but a few, Tower of Terror, Hocus Pocus Hall, The Flying Dutchman, Lisebergtower, Hex or Dragon Khan, it will seen become apparent that each and every of these attractions is highly unique. As the seemingly endless imagination and the incredible skills that come into play in converting the most impossible of ideas into reality was part of what raised my interest in the theme park industry many years ago, that didn’t come as a surprise. It did, however, make things considerably more difficult. Luckily, I wasn’t on my own in taking on this challenge. First and foremost I would like to thank my supervisor Pieter Cornelis; I would not have been able to finish my thesis without his support, guidance, wisdom and ruthless criticism. I sincerely appreciate the advice Fetene Tekle, Marie-Anne Mittelhaeuser and especially Theo van der Weegen have given me regarding statistics in general and dimension reduction of dichotomous data in particular.
