Green. tbh =DHeres a fun fact fo you: On packages of Canadian Smarties, a Smarties 'Fun Fact' states that Canadians eat enough Smarties each year to circle the Earth "350 times". However, a grade 6 math class in Thunder Bay, Ontario proved otherwise in December 2005. The math class calculated that the amount of Smarties Canadians eat in a year would circle the Earth only once. Nestl? Canada has promised to amend the packaging.

Every winter, we see the 4 month closure of THORPE PARK and Chessington & Zoo, not to mention many other Merlin attractions. This topic can be for anyone, but especially for the people that visit theme parks a lot of the time.What do you do to replace going to theme parks?Does the closed period go quickly for you? What do you do to speed up the time?These ones are easy for me. As many people have mentioned in other topics, going to theme parks is more of a social thing for me - just somewhere fun to go with friends (although I do LOVE them ). So when the parks are closed, I just find other activities to do with my friends to replace my theme park trips. The closed pe…

Fun game, which most people already know how to play... For those of you who don't, welcome to Corrupt a Wish! It works like this:One person posts a wish... Then the next person corrupts it!

So halloween 09 is shortly coming up, Has anyone got anything planned or costume ideas or even previous halloween ideas or costumes.My Home Haunt 09This halloween I'm planning to create a home haunt maze based around an abandoned circus. Welcome to the CARNEVIL!!! The haunt attraction starts with a mad ringleader (ME) who invits you to come and see the circus. As you enter you are put into group of 5 or less and dared to enter the circus. At the begining of the attraction you come across several clowns and severeal intresting rooms. A Coconut shy with heads as the cocnuts, A room full of ballons, a hall of illusions and an caged area. ENTER THE CIRCUS HAlloween 2009!!!

What is the one main thing that you would ask for on YOUR pizza?

Fast forward 6 years...Saw's contract is soon to run out and Thorpe are in desperate need of a new theme. Good Luck :unsure:This Challenge is likely to last 2 weeks to give you a bit more time but if the majority of people entering have after a week, it will end after a week

This is similar to 'You know when you are in 2008 when...'... But with being a Fanboy / Girl.I will start with my example:You know you're a fanboy when you ask to eat at Stealth Diner for your birthday treat!Go wild!

There has been a lot of talk about Bubbleworks and what you'd like done with it, seemed like the perfect topic to start a challenge on, here is the place to put your ideas :)Good Luck everyone Can't wait to see your ideas!

Would you rather drizzle your saliva over a tasty beef burger or slobber your chops over a cheesy, meaty pizza slice?The choice is yours

Right well, The Challenges are back after a 2 week break :PAs is quite clearly said above, please don't vote in the poll. I have trouble editing in the full editor to create a poll when needed, hopefully by doing this I'll be able to change the question etc when voting is set to begin :PAnyway, this weeks challenge is... "To enter a picture you've taken of the worst/ most unusual weather you've experienced on a day out"Good Luck, Voting will open at the same time as before the break.

This weeks Challenge is to create a ride or park advert with any of the following pictures.The advert can be for a "new" ride, the existing ride or a new/ actual park.As always, got a question, ask it
