    I feel like the tree line rule also helps to give more immersion in the different lands; the atmosphere in the Dark Forest is so different from X-Sector, in part due to there being no signs of the outside world except for the pathways. Really helps sell rides like Wicker Man and Nemesis as themed.

  • @86wellacre
    @86wellacre Год назад +32

    I do feel the biggest drawback to this height rule AT have is it makes the rides quite short in comparison to rides at other parks in the states for example. The Smiler is an exception as it’s a bit longer.

    I agree that the tree line rule adds to the atmosphere, one of my favorite parts going to an amusement park is seeing the chain lift peak over the tree line. It’s like a hype up before you even enter the parking lot. Even when you’re driving past it it’s like sight seeing.

  • @liamh3710
    @liamh3710 Год назад +1

    I’m glad that Towers have the tree line restriction. It forces them to improvise and innovate when building any major coaster. A lot of other parks are more focused on “taller = better” when that necessarily isn’t the case.
    Cool, you may have a 200ft+ coaster. Does it do anything unique compared to others of the same height? Not always.
    Towers always have to ensure both the layout and terrain work hand in hand and that’s what I love about it.

    I can't really see Oblivion changing that much. John Wardley's vision was to be entering the ground face-first, which no other dive coaster has done since.
    On the other hand, had there NOT been the height restriction, then we might never have got the B&M dive coaster - coasters could have just got steeper in the way that RMC rides feature 90° drops.

    • @MrLProductionsOfficial

    Life hack; built a massive wooden pillar at flight level 10 and put the old earls branch at the top. That's part of a tree so surely they now have a 1000ft ceiling to work with! Or just stick it on top of Nemmy's crane, they both seem to be round about the same height.
