A little blog for when the need to be too much of a roller coaster nerd overtakes me. Images and video tagged #mine you are welcome to use for whatever you want.
Oh my God, I'm so excited! Thorpe Park just announced the opening date for Hyperia!!! 24th May, which is the day me and my dad are already booked to go.
This isn't what it looked like but I am having fun with this. I'll probably upload others on my art account though and reblog them here.
My roller coaster nerdery has breached my dreams. It isn't uncommon for me to dream about theme parks I've been to. The other night I dreamt I was at Alton Towers, looking at Galactica from a distance but the track had a round spine. I thought, "That's not right, B&M rides have box tracks." I looked away and when I looked back it had a box track.
My subconscious is trying to gaslight me into thinking it didn't get the track wrong.
On an unrelated note, it was misty in the dream and watching the track weave in and out of the mist was really cool and I might try to recreate it in Blender or something. (With the correct track of course.)

Also, can't wait to know what it sounds like. I'm going to miss the old really loud roar but given that a big part of that sound is because of how it echoes off the surrounding area, I'm hoping it still sounds pretty awesome.
