Pick 1/6 for the 3 questions

I vote For Rita as it provides the best launch and good airtime, although RNRC has some great inversions.

Now all the wing riders are fully in action I have re-started this topic again! Which wing rider train looks better? Furius Baco Raptor Wild Eagle Or X-Flight I did not add The Swarm this time because I wanted people to choose the other section of wing-riders other than our own

Home haunts, yay or nay, have you ever been in one, worked in one, share videos, pictures and experiences here!

Since Nemesis open in 1994 the UK has not produced a world class coaster. Will any UK park ever produce another world class coaster?

Which of these famous Orlando resorts do you prefer?Although I love both, I have gone for Disney because of its charm.

What is Your Favorite and why

Hey, so I LOVE the Halloween event at Thorpe Park, I have been to theirs now for a couple of years but have never tried out any other parks Halloween events. Which UK Theme Park is the best for Halloween events? I think Thorpe Parks event is amazing and I love how they smoke the park out in the evening and the horror mazes, but can another park out do them? Love to hear your thoughts and opinions :lol:Many thanks, TomW

The two new lands of the southern parks. Both have the best themeing in their parks. But which is better overall. This can include themeing, quality of ride and shops. FIGHT!!

Can anyone tell me the rules for coaster credits because I really want to do mine, thanks in advance!

Dunno where exactly to put this, but this needs a topic due to how important this is to some on here (I.e. Marc )...LINK Outrage has followed on the MAP Facebook page, but they have retorted that free parking will last until you get your 2011 Pass (Which for me is October, SWISH!)...But regardless, silly Merlin is SILLY...

Seeing as it sparked some debate over in the rant thread, I've decided to make a topic about it. Feel free to rant, rave, whatever you want to discuss about the UK Theme Park Industry. _____________________________________Theme Park related rant/ thoughts follow:Right now, the UK theme park industry is making me feel sick. I feel like I've lost a lot of my passion for it over the last month. It's easy to target Merlin, but this is a much wider issue really, it's the whole country. I've become fed up with the budget tight and half- hearted attitudes of the theme park that the country has to offer.I do think our theme parks have the potential to be some of the best in Europ…

Hi everybody, Has anybody taking up this offer or think its worth it?http://www.capitalfm.com/london/charity/buy-merlin-annual-pass-nearly-half-price/Any thoughts will be much appreciated. ST

IMO the UK needs a new thrill park. Given the chance of complete control, tell us what you'd build, how you'd theme it, what you'd call it etc. It can be your "MTDP" if you will. No rules, go wild.P.S (I did search around to see if there already was one of these, didn't see anything but apologies if there is!!!)

Back when Tussauds were operating the annual pass, I'm fairly sure Heide Park was included on the list of attractions you got in to for free, but now that Merlin are in charge is that still the case?I can't find any mention of Heide Park on the UK annual pass site and it seems that a German Merlin Pass exists so it doesn't seem likely but I figured I'd check.Thanks in advance.

Well, as a small project, I've been researching what Ride Manufacturers are at what park. Just been a bit of randomness to be honest. Anyways, I've done the 3 major Merlin parks and here's the results:(Not sure about everything to be honest. If I've made a mistake or something, feel free to correct me . Also, I know some people don't class In House as a manufacturer, so that's why they're separated from the rest, and why the manufacturer count is x / x+1.)Thorpe Park Manufacturers:B&M (Inferno)Intamin (Colossus, Stealth, Rumba Rapids)Gerstlauer (Saw)Vekoma (X:\WTF)Mack (Flying Fish, SIAT, Loggers Leap, Rocky Express)S&S (Rush and Slammer)Fabbri (Detonator and Quan…

Simulator Theme Park Plunge Kills Six Death on Maurer Sohne Spinning Coaster1 dead in major accident at Tibidabo, Barcelona.All in under a month. This is worrying :PCould theme park bosses possibly be making cut-backs due to the recession, resulting in less thorough checks taking place?

Decided to make a sporcle quiz of rides in Thorpe Park.It isn't as easy as it seems (unless you have a map in front of you) as the kiddy rides are tough.Try ithttp://www.sporcle.com/games/EddyX/thorpepark

This topic basically asks you the question if you had your own theme park what would it be like.You can write whatever you like just as long as it's fairly realistic and not offensive.for instance:where would you have it?what kind of setting?what kind of themed areas?what kind of rides?there are so many questions so please do feel free to asnwer them and tell us all about what you would do with your own theme park if you had one.I'll post mine sometime to

I was looking through the topics and realised there was no Aqualand topic, so I created one ,Aqualand is a chain water park with parks around Europe, there are none in the UK (makes sense since the weathers no good) they have parks in the Canary Islands, Portugal, Spain, and the south France,they have amazing water slides with some rides re-appearing at different parks,I have been to one in Spain before and it was great each park has a differen't style ride so all parks aren't the same, I am going to one in Portugal next week in the Algarve, Here is a link to their Algarve site (I can't find the official one, there is one, but I can't find it) Click,Discuss these amazing …
