Colossus (Thorpe Park)

Colossus im Thorpe Park (Chertsey, Surrey, UK) ist eine Stahlachterbahn vom Modell Multi Inversion Coaster des Herstellers Intamin, die am 22. März 2002 als erste Achterbahn mit zehn Inversionen eröffnet wurde. Gemeinsam mit der 2006 eröffneten baugleichen Anlage 10 Inversion Roller Coaster (chinesisch: 十环过山车), im Chimelong Paradise in der Volksrepublik China, war sie damit die Achterbahn mit den meisten Überschlägen weltweit. Im Mai 2013 wurde der Rekord durch The Smiler in Alton Towers (Alton, Staffordshire, UK) abgelöst, welche 14 Inversionen besitzt. Die Inversionen Die Fahrgäste durchfahren auf der rund 850 m langen Strecke zunächst einen Looping, gefolgt von einer Cobra-Roll, welche aus zwei Inversionen besteht, einen doppelten Korkenzieher, einer vierfachen (quad) Heartline-Roll sowie, nach einer Linkskurve, eine weitere Heartline-Roll in entgegengesetzter Richtung als die vorherigen vier Rollen. Züge Die Züge von Colossus besitzen jeweils sieben Wagen. In jedem Wagen können vier Personen (zwei Reihen à zwei Personen) Platz nehmen. Als Rückhaltesystem kommen Schulterbügel zum Einsatz. Fotos Weitere Standorte Das Modell Colossus wurde auch an weitere Freizeitparks geliefert. Neben einer exakten Kopie von Colossus (Rev. A), gibt es noch Auslieferungen mit kleineren Abweichungen vom Original (Rev. B). Die Anlage in Flamingo Land sollte zuerst im brasilianischen Hopi Hari eröffnet werden. Aus finanziellen Gründen wurde die Bahn aber nicht errichtet und stattdessen an den malaysischen Park Movie Animation Park Studios verkauft, wo sie aber auch nicht errichtet wurde.

Colossus (Thorpe Park)

Colossus is a steel roller coaster at Thorpe Park in Surrey, England, and the park's first major attraction. It was built by Liechtenstein-based manufacturers Intamin and designed by Werner Stengel as an adaptation of Monte Makaya in Brazil. Colossus is well known for being the world's first roller coaster with ten inversions; an exact replica, called the 10 Inversion Roller Coaster, was later built at Chimelong Paradise in Guangzhou, China. It retained its title of having the most inversions on any other roller coaster in the world until The Smiler at Alton Towers took the record in 2013. The ride’s trains, manufactured by Intamin, are similar in style to those used on their Mega Coaster models, with the sides of the train removed to create an open design. This configuration presented safety concerns, as riders could extend their legs outside the train while it was in motion. For a brief period in 2002 and 2003, the trains were fitted with metal bars along the sides to prevent riders from extending their legs outside the train. Later in 2003, the trains were upgraded with new-style restraints that addressed this safety concern, allowing the metal side plates to be removed. The roller coaster is situated in the Lost City area, in the southeast of the park. Its layout features a vertical loop, a cobra roll, two corkscrews, and five heartline rolls. The ride is thematically designed around the ruins of a recently unearthed Atlantean civilization. Ian Habgood composed the music for both the ride and its surrounding area. During its planning and construction, the attraction was referred to as Project Odyssey. During the 2023-24 off-season, Colossus was partially repainted as part of the Sparkle Project. Ride experience Inversions The ride The train leaves the station and immediately begins ascending the chain lift hill, reaching a maximum height of 30 m (98 ft). After disengaging from the lift, the train navigates a 180-degree left turn into its first drop, passing through a vertical loop. It then traverses a long airtime hill that passes beneath the ride exit and gift shop, creating a “head-chopper effect”, before sharply ascending into a cobra roll positioned in a partially flooded pit, allowing guests to view the element and enhancing the attraction’s visual spectacle. Exiting the cobra roll, the train enters the second phase of the layout. It snakes slightly to the left before passing through two corkscrew elements: the first inverts riders over the airtime hill, while the second passes over a pathway leading to the ride entrance. On-ride photographs are captured as the train levels out after the second corkscrew, at which point the train’s speed decreases rapidly. The ride continues through four consecutive clockwise heartline rolls, passing just 3 m (10 ft) above the pathway. A final left-hand bend guides the train slowly toward the station, followed by an unexpected counter-clockwise heartline roll. The train then decelerates into the final brake run, coming to a complete stop before riders disembark.

Ce furent les premières montagnes russes au monde à posséder 10 inversions et ont détrôné le Dragon Khan de PortAventura qui détenait le record du plus grand nombre d'inversions (huit jusqu'en 2002). Quelques années plus tard, une copie conforme, 10 Inversion Roller Coaster fut construite à Chimelong Paradise. Le circuit Le train quitte la gare pour entamer le lift. Arrivé en haut, le train s'élance dans la pré-drop (petite descente avant la drop), fait un virage à gauche et plonge dans la drop. Arrivé en bas, le train entame le looping vertical, puis un petit camel back (ou Bunny Hop) et un cobra roll. Après, le train fait 2 corsckrews, remonte vers la gauche, et fait 4 heartline rolls à la suite. Un virage à gauche, un heartline roll et c'est le retour en gare. Statistiques Trains : 7 wagons par train. Les passagers sont placés par deux sur deux rangs pour un total de 28 passagers par train. Éléments : Looping vertical / Cobra roll / Double Corsckrews / Quad Heartline Rolls (Quad Zero−G−Heart Roll) / Heartline Roll (Zero−G−Heart Roll) Notes et références Voir aussi Articles connexes Montagnes russes assises Thorpe Park Records dans le domaine des montagnes russes Intamin Liste des montagnes russes d'Intamin Liens externes (en) Colossus sur le site de Thorpe Park (fr) Fiche de Colossus (RollerCoaster DataBase) Ressource relative au tourisme : Roller Coaster DataBase Portail des parcs de loisirs Portail de l’Angleterre
Colossus (hullámvasút)

A Colossus egy hullámvasút a Thorpe Park vidámparkban, Surrey-ben (Anglia), építője a svájci Intamin AG, tervezője Werner Stengel. A Colossus a világon az első olyan hullámvasút, mely tízszer fordul át egy menet során. Később épült meg egy pontos másolata, a Tenth Ring Roller Coaster a kantoni Chimelong Paradise vidámparkban. A 30 méter magas hullámvasút legnagyobb sebessége 72 km/h. 850 méteres pályáját 1 perc 45 másodperc alatt teszi meg. Vonatonként 28 utas a befogadóképessége. A tíz átfordulásos menet intenzív, „utolsó fordulata olyan alacsony, hogy közben virágot tudnál szedni a földről”. A negatív kritikák szerint szegényes a vonatok designja, illetve egyesek szerint kényelmetlenek az ülések. Jegyzetek További információk Thorpe Park Roller Coaster Database

The Intrepid Fox

The Intrepid Fox was a pub at 97–99 Wardour Street, Soho, London, established in 1784 by the publican Samuel House, who named it after the prominent British Whig statesman Charles James Fox. The pub was located on the corner of Wardour Street and Peter Street. During the general election of 1784, House provided free drink to the public. More recently, it was a goth pub which also hosted heavy metal gigs. It closed in 2006, when the owner Mitchells & Butlers sold the building to property developers. It is rumoured that Mick Jagger poached a young Ronnie Wood from Rod Stewart's band in a corner of the pub. The Wardour Street building it formerly occupied is clad in faience, including a faience relief of Charles James Fox. As of 2017, the premises were in use as a branch of the Byron hamburger chain. Successor venues Later in 2006, the former Intrepid Fox management team opened a new venue of the same name, near Centre Point. The Guardian reported the new venue's imminent closure in 2014. Following the closure of this venue, a third incarnation of the Intrepid Fox was opened at the Archway Tavern later in 2014.

Grafton Hotel

The Grafton Hotel at 130 Tottenham Court Road in Fitzrovia, London, is part of the Edwardian Hotels group. In a partnership with Radisson Hotels, it is branded as the Radisson Blu Edwardian Grafton Hotel. The hotel was built in the Edwardian era and has 330 rooms. The building was designed by the architect William Howard Seth-Smith, FRIBA, and upon opening was furnished by Maple and Co. Shortly before opening, the hotel was advertised as being run on "popular lines". During World War II, the hotel was used as the temporary headquarters for the Ministry of Food. From October 1939 to April 1940, Albert Meems, "one of very few German agents who successfully moved in and out of the UK during the Second World War without being detected", made four visits to London and always stayed at the Grafton Hotel.

British Cardiovascular Society

The British Cardiovascular Society (BCS) is a United Kingdom-wide health organisation based in London. It aims to represent all healthcare professionals working in the field of cardiology, set standards for prevention, diagnosis, and clinical care, and communicate those standards to the community and the patients through training, education and public outreach. History The first idea for the BCS came in 1910 by the Scottish cardiologist Sir James Mackenzie. At an Association of Physicians meeting in Oxford on 22 April 1922, the Cardiac Club was formed by 5 cardiologists: Carey F. Coombs, T. F. Cotton, John Cowan, A. G. Gibson (as chair), and W. E. Hume. It was founded in 1922 at the Club's first active meeting by 15 founder members — the original five plus ten others, including Thomas J. Horder and Thomas Lewis — and with one honorary member, namely Mackenzie. In April 1937 it became the Cardiac Society of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1946 it became the British Cardiac Society. It was incorporated (03005604) on 1 January 1995 as the British Cardiac Society. It became the British Cardiovascular Society on 8 May 2006. Function It produces the Heart journal; this was established in 1939 as the British Heart Journal. The Editor is Catherine Otto. Another journal it produces is called Open Heart. Structure It is situated in Fitzrovia in the London Borough of Camden. It became a UK Registered Charity in 2002. Its membership (2,500) included doctors and nurses. It is an affiliate of the European Society of Cardiology. The current President of the Society for the 2018–2021 term is Simon Ray, Honorary Professor of Cardiology of Manchester University.

Holy Trinity Church, Rotherhithe

Holy Trinity Church is a Church of England parish church in Rotherhithe, south east London, within the diocese of Southwark. History The original church on the site was built between 1837 and 1838, as the expansion of the Surrey Commercial Docks drove a growth of population that exhausted the capacity of the original parish of St Mary's Church, Rotherhithe. The building was designed in a neo-Gothic style by Sampson Kempthorne, better known as a designer of workhouses: The church consists of a shallow sanctuary recess and a wide barn-like nave with vestibules and a tower at the west. The nave is lit by large lancet windows and the whole church is meanly designed in 13th-century style. The tower has an embattled parapet. The churchyard was closed to burials in 1858, and was converted by the Metropolitan Public Gardens Association into a small public garden in 1885. The original church building was destroyed by incendiary bombs during an air raid on 7 September 1940, making it the first British Church to be destroyed in the Second World War. The bombed church had an organ by Henry Bevington. The Vicar throughout the War was the Rev Joseph Thrift. On the night of the bombing, Thrift escaped with just the clothes on his back. He made sure that all around were safely away, before making his way from the burning remains of the church by rowing-boat to Stepney, bombs falling around him as he went. After the bombing, Thrift advertised in the Church Times: "Holy Trinity, Rotherhithe. Church bombed and everything destroyed. Can you supply one of our immediate needs?" The adjacent school buildings (already condemned in 1939) survived the War, were used for services until the completion of the present church in 1959, and remain in use as the Church Hall. The WWI war memorial also survived the bombing, and is now Grade II listed. The new church building was constructed to a 1957 design by Thomas Ford, and features a distinctive mural of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus by the Jewish-born German artist Hans Feibusch. The church has been described as having a fine acoustic, and since 2016 has hosted regular concerts of music written in the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries by early music ensemble Musica Antica Rotherhithe.

Century House, London

Century House is a 22-storey building located at 100 Westminster Bridge Road in London. The building was designed in the modern style and constructed between 1959 and 1964. It became the home of the Secret Intelligence Service following their move from 54 Broadway in 1964. Though the location of their Broadway headquarters was classified information, The Daily Telegraph reported that it was "London's worst-kept secret, known only to every taxi driver, tourist guide and KGB agent". After 21 years in service as the headquarters of SIS, Century House was described as "irredeemably insecure" in a 1985 National Audit Office (NAO) report with several security concerns raised. Chief among those concerns was that the building was made largely of glass, and had a petrol station at its base. The SIS subsequently moved its headquarters to a new building at Vauxhall Cross in 1994, after which Century House was acquired by a developer, renamed the Perspective Building, and converted into an apartment block to a design by Assael Architecture. The conversion work was completed in 2003. References
54 Broadway

54 Broadway, sometimes known as Broadway Buildings (now renumbered 50 Broadway), is an office building in Broadway, London. History The building, which has a prominent mansard roof, was completed around 1924, when it became the main operating base for the Secret Intelligence Service. In 1925, the Government Code and Cypher School co-located within the building, although it was on a different floor to the Secret Intelligence Service. GC&CS moved out to Bletchley Park in August 1939. During the Second World War it had a brass plaque identifying it as the offices of the "Minimax Fire Extinguisher Company". Sir Stewart Menzies, Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, had access to a tunnel, which connected 54 Broadway to his private residence in Queen Anne's Gate. Kim Philby, who worked in the building during the war, described it as "a dingy building, a warren of wooden partitions and frosted glass windows...served by an ancient lift." The Secret Intelligence Service moved out to Century House in 1964. During the 1990s, the building was used by the project team for the Jubilee Line Extension to the London Underground.

St Mary and St Peter's Church, Wennington

St Mary and St Peter's Church is a Church of England parish church in Wennington, in the London Borough of Havering. It is a Grade II* listed building. History Management Wennington Church is recorded as being in the possession of Westminster Abbey during Richard de Belmeis' term as bishop of London early in the 12th century – this may be one said to have been given to the Abbey by Ætsere the Swarthy and his wife Ælfgyth before the Norman Conquest. In 1541 Westminster Abbey's advowson was transferred to the new but short-lived Diocese of Westminster and then to the bishop of London, who retained it until 1852, when it was granted to the bishop of Peterborough. In 1867 it was transferred from him to the Crown and then in 1958 to the Martyrs' Memorial Trust. Renovations The south aisle was knocked down around 1600, and extensive repairs occurred early in the 18th century. The church had fallen into disrepair by 1874 but was restored and expanded to meet a growing local population in 1885 and 1886, by rebuilding the south aisle, adding new chancel windows and an organ chamber, converting the base of the west tower into a vestry, and removing a west gallery. A new porch was added in 1900. Present day On 19 July 2022, the church survived a wildfire which destroyed much of Wennington village. Architecture The present building is medieval with a 12th-century doorway reset in the vestry, early 13th-century font, parish chest, chancel piscina, chancel, nave and south aisle, and early 14th-century north aisle. The west tower is later 14th century, whilst the chancel arch and nave roof were both rebuilt in the late 15th or early 16th century. References External links "Wennington | British History Online".
