For anyone that is interested, a Thorpe Park Brochure from 1991 is being listed on Ebay.See here. May make interesting reading indeed!Have also found a few other bits and pieces that are related to the Tussauds Group:Tomb Blaster ScarabRock Circus Brochure from 1991

Megafobia? or some Wooden

Yep, thats correct.

Have a go at that one.

I'm currently working through an application form that is 26 pages long! Its a proper bastard but will be worth it in the end hopefully!

A lot of employers won't take if you if you don't have GCSE's as you will most likely still come under 'Child Worker' legislation, which there are funny rules about.

Full ride availability from today.

Took a trip up to Alton Towers yesterday and was very impressed by Mutiny Bay.Battle GalleonsYou certainly do get drenched (similar wetness as Tidal Wave) on Battle Galleons, but the ride itself is fantastic. The theming is top notch and the layout of the track is well designed to soak other boats and innocent spectators! The ride also uses fresh water, slyly put into the boat every time it docks.The only down point to the ride, is that the targets around the course appeared to do very little. At the end of the day however, why shoot targets when you can shoot people!Heave HoThis is another good addition to Mutiny Bay. Very similar to Chessington's Griffins Galleon, it has an excellent interactive soundtrack whilst the ride is in motion encouraging riders to shout HEAVE as it swings one way, then HO as it swings back the other way.Marauder’s MayhemAgain, this ride has not been neglected; it looks 10x better then last year and really suits Mutiny Bay. Attention has still been paid to small details such as canon balls wedged in-between metal railings.The Pirate ShowAlthough I didn't see the show in action, it is a clever idea to build the stage in the Courtyard where people can watch it whilst eating their lunch.A lot of time has clearly been spent on the area audio and it blends well into Mutiny Bay. It is also worth nothing incase you didn’t realise, that The Flume is now part of Katanga Canyon.Overall the area looks completely finished and Mutiny Bay will clearly be a fantastic addition to the park! :DWhat are your views on Mutiny Bay?

Aye, it's awesome, and really will be a good addition to the park!

Expect a few changes around the Vampire when the park opens this year!

Chicken Korma Curry!

Done.

Loving the blend of colours in that photo!

Joleene by Dolly Parton?

Here be my desktop!

I've never really been a big fan of beaches, they're usually boring, over crowded, you always seem to get sun burnt (despite applying sun cream) and the sand gets in your shoes and socks.Quiet pebble beaches at sunset with a camera on the other hand are a different class!

Does anyone on here watch Whose Line Is It Anyway?For those of you that don't know anything about it, it is an unscripted comedy show where four performers create characters, scenes, and songs on the spot. It really is hilarious. It can be seen on week nights at 7pm on the new freeview channel called Dave (channel 19).Information about it on Wikipedia

I can't wait to ride 'Tower Of Terror' at Disneyland Paris. I haven't been on the US version but I have heard it is awesome!
