I forget the exact name, but on Hulu, I think it is, there is a show about the making of Velocicoaster. Not too in depth, but a good find and it's a nice little thing. More for the GP but I still got a little amusement out of it.

Dunno if this is "Small News" or "TV and News Articles" really (and dunno whether we have even discussed it much on here)

But Blackpool's BIG DIPPER is 100 years old today.

BBC Breakfast this morning;

EDIT : and on the main news site now;

Some more local news stuff;
(some fab old pics on that report - I can never get enough of the pics of it just sitting on the sand)

EDIT : some more old pics (some repeats from above) on this ECC thread;

and the park mini-site (they have some event on today);

This from 2005. How far can you read before you want to tear out your own eyeballs?

The Big One repeatedly quoted for the 235ft height, plus a loop.
Rita as the fastest ride at Alton, before talking about Oblivion.
Nemesis being likened to a pair of testicles.
Nemesis Inferno being referred to as the better of the two.
Thorpe Park is now near Barnes.

Any more triggers I've missed?

Did anyone want a reminder how the primitive mechanisms of rollercoasters work from a Japanese theme park?
