  1. What they’re really lacking is a decent throughput coaster tbh.
  2. Not gonna lie, I don’t think I even have a most anticipated attraction for this year ?
  3. Mer

    Vortex

    “THAT BIG BIT O’ WOOD LYIN’ IN THE MIDDLE THERE LOOK.” “THERE IT IS. BIG BIT O’ METAL!”
  4. I must admit, when I saw the photo in the article I thought, “That doesn’t look 50ft!”

    Vortex

    No that was the sound of Rush Vortex doesn’t make any noise when stopped. The operator would’ve done a cycle stop/soft stop, as an e-stop on Vortex would bring the ride to an end, but would prevent the floor rising ? I couldn’t help but laugh at parts of that article - NOT the incident itself of course, but the overly dramatic way it was written and just the general Sun language ? And a chair?! I find the part about the staff “standing around laughing” odd and hard to believe though.
  6. Maybe they’ll start incorporating bits of Slammer into the mazes ?
  7. Whoa! What a transformation - that station! And I love that homage to the old Sat music ?❤️ Theres now a page for Eurosat Coastiality: https://www.europapark.de/en/attractions/eurosat-coastiality Wow.
  8. Wow, someone’s excited to see some scantily-clad clowns!
  9. LOL this. It is entertaining to witness though
  10. I had the exact the opposite the other week (Sunday 26th) - that was the first time I’ve had actors after riding it - pretty sure I’ve never been on and had actors in there before! Although I’ve not been to Thorpe that much this year and this was only the third time I’ve ridden The actors barely made a difference though...we came through the doors and they were just sat on the boxes, chatting, out of role...was pretty hilarious actually And yeah I know what you mean about that corridor smell - it’s kinda like really bad breath
  11. Edited for you, after our visit the other week and those actors in the exit of TWDTR
  12. Ahem It’s a meet, I’ll be going anyway for the social aspect and the laughs! (Also I never said that I only wanted to go back for Big Top and night rides, think you’re confusing your own opinion with mine )
  13. Given that Rameses now only does 1 cycle, the only place it’s destined for is a graveyard
  14. I’ve now got to the point where I’d consider not even going on with my group ? It’s not re-rideable anymore. But the worst thing for me is the queueing experience. The queue moves stupidly slowly, and in all my experiences has ended up far longer than the time on the app (which is pretty accurate for the other rides). I’m not just talking about break downs - there have been times where the queue has started off moving fairly regularly, and then it suddenly slows down drastically/stops for ages for no reason. In fact, every time I’ve gone on DBGT I’ve had a negative queueing experience! The queueline itself is just awful, claustrophobic and the most depressing one I’ve ever experienced. Glad @Stuntman707 has finally given up on this, means I won’t have to endure it as often now ?
  15. Brilliant But...could this mean the end for Tussauds Boris?! ?
  16. Meanwhile at Towers... ?
  17. On a positive note, the Europa Park press account tweeted this earlier (translated):
  18. Is the Blackpool meet date going to be confirmed soon or will there be a poll? Just thinking about how fast the accommodation could get booked up in July/the prices going up!
  19. New Flying Fish resin! Also, there seems to be a shortage of Colossus merch though compared to all the other coasters They were even selling Amity speedway hoodies in the Colossus shop (but they did have Colossus t-shirts).
  20. Brace yourselves guys, here’s a POV... Genuinely have no idea what’s happening in that tunnel Also it looks like the ORP camera is back where it originally used to be! Wait - WHERE’S THE ELEPHANT?!
  21. It was, and I loved it I thought it actually made it much better and more realistic! Also the staircase leading up to the station in Saw was almost pitch black (at one point we struggled to see where we were going!), but again this made it better as it fitted in with the theme Shame they can’t do that more often!
