Going off the concept art, I couldnt tell if the second to last element was an outerbanked turn of some sort of inversion, which I now realise is because the concept art is wrong, if you follow the bottom edge of the track from before to after that element, it ends up as the left rail. If you...
An interest one - as they also state, their nolimits design isn’t exact, and neither is the speed at which it would take the layout, so it could end up being alright if it’s ever built.
Seeing as it’s a launch coaster on a similar scale to Ice Breaker, I’d imagine that it could indeed be a...
No worries, I thought it was odd that it was an irregular shape and didn't show the CS, so did a reverse image search. That new image definitely looks like it. Not very good that the people applying for planning permission for a large project like that don’t even know which is which!
This map actually shows where the area that fixed wing aircraft can’t enter. The IHS and CS should form a radius of around 6km, Thorpe’s nearest side is about 6.8km from the nearest part of the runway, so should be entirely within the OHS.
If Thorpe is about on the edge of the conical section, then it would be on the higher edge of it, and as such the side of Thorpe nearest to Heathrow would still have a ~145m limit.
Indeed, from what I can tell from certain documents, Thorpe Park falls just outside of the conical surface around Heathrow and in the outer horizontal surface, which has a height limit of 150m. Which raises the question of why so many people believe Thorpe are bound by 200ft-ish height limits.
