I've given up caring about themeing. The 2009 coaster will be exacly the same as the trinity before it - average.
Tussauds took over Thorpe and started making a difference too late. They are in their lazy days now.
I'm personally hoping for a B&M mega. I don't want a flyer. A Floorless would be okay. Whatever it is, i hope it's somthing the UK ain't already got. A B&M floorless seems unlikley, because then it would just be like a forceless Colossus... And why woudl Thorpe want that? Mind you, this is Tussauds - nothing make sense.
Fact is it won't be a mega, i think it's unlikley to be a B&M at all - Intamin have given Thorpe both their signature coasters, Inferno means little to the public.
So, if it's a B&M - it will be a flyer i suspect. Hateful. Eugh. They will do exacly what they did with Inferno - try and build a coaster on the sucess of an Alton ride. Which probably means a more intense, but lacking in consideration and badly designed Air. Inferno is, afterall, a more intense but lacking in consideration and design Nemesis.
Intamin mega? Unlikely. But i can dream. No, wait... if Thorpe did get a mega that would call for more bashing from American enthusiaasts.
Lets face it, Thorpe can't win enthusiast's hearts. Not now.
