  1. Okay, seriously, isn't it that BIT obvious he wouldn't say that. I mean that he would say the names of the lucky four who won their places. Of course he wouldn't say that. I think people are just trying to start arguments now...
  2. God, people stop being so sarcastic!!!I also like the idea of the final vid being:"And so I invite:- Lucky Person #1- Lucky Person #2- Lucky Person #3- Lucky Person #4... to join me in Thrope Park, Staines, KT16 8PN in March. Let the game begin da dadaa dada..."
  3. Gareth replied to Sheepie's topic in UK Attractions
    Yeah, I agree.
  4. God, Tommy's such a jerk...I sure hope he gets warned for this...
  5. I think it only hurts on X... XD
  6. Gareth replied to a post in a topic in The Future
    To solve the ugly problem of X, I would create a large fibreglass Aztec pyramid, and plonk it right on top of it, then put amazing theming indoors, with the whole pyramid lit up through fire-effects {torches and the odd flameball, all safely done in a well ventilated area zzzzz}
  7. I think it might be 'elongated' a bit through block brakes indoors, perhaps doing a shuddering effect like in xnowayout...
  8. But in the past they have made a great deal over the number thirteen [scratching on the box, putting at the end of vids etc.] so what was the point of all that then?
  9. In a PM to me only months ago..."I seem to have been here for 2 years now actually thanks - I've been to more theme parks than you've had hot dinners."
  10. You're the one who old me you've 'been on more rollercoasters than I have had hot dinners,' so if ANYone needs to get out more, it would be you, my arrogant 'friend.'
  11. Well, as sheepie said, they have made a whole point about the number thirteen, so I think it shouls have come out YESTERDAY!!!
  12. AHAHAHAHA!--
  13. That's your opinion, for me, the magic is lost.
  14. Neptune's Beach should be replaced by a family ride.... Perhaps ANOTHER runaway mine train, but this time themed to be the Black Mamba of family rides?!? Something like a thundermountain would be great, and provide an excellent area for those with young children to relax, while the thrill seekers of the group head over to lost city and the rest of the park.But I am all for a flyer going on a new island, perhaps, and going over water as well!
  15. Well, no, it's the person's job to put the video up on the 13th, and if s/he doesn't do it, then they are not doing their job. Cleaners get paid to clean, and accountants get paid to account, so a day off is in no way an excuse.Each video has to come out on the 13th - otherwise the whole atmosphere of the ride goes down a notch... Now, when I think of the ride, I think of a small publicity shin-dig which even those behind it don't care about. The whole atmosphere behind the storyline of SAW is ruined, as the number 13 isn't as meaningful, and the SAW scrutiny to detail is lost.If they are going to do a series of consecutive videos released every 13th day of a month, then they should make it their duty to abide by this ongoing tradition.[/rant]
  16. How do you know?There may not be some space for many objects, but what evidence do you have that it won't be that good?As for the exterior queue, I think it will be good; the 'windmill' bit may be small, but the building itself is interesting from all angles, and the gate, entrance etc. is great theming.
  17. But if they had released it in January, then we would all guess it by the time we first saw jigsaw's face on the screen.Do you mean not have ANY videos until January?
  18. I personally can't wait until the 13th... I want need more information. People here should really lighten up...As for what will be in the video, I think we will get an introduction into a main part of the story line - like who the poor guy is. I think he is the guy in the original photo... I bet his name is:
  19. And Colossus didn't really provide much opportunity besides a bridge, and Stealth did not live up to it's potential.
  20. Couldn't agree more...Because it is on an island, it can be seen from all sides, but because the park is closed, we cannot see the 'front bit' as well...When we finally get some detailed photos, we can then start commenting on the quality of the theming which this project relies on so greatly.
  21. Gareth replied to Cringle's topic in Stuff
    - That is the best bit of the song.
  22. This is not the main side. While it is seen, it is not the main focus. The main focus will be found in the more divese and rough side with the headchopper [which looks great so far from what I can see,] and other elements, such as the photo kiosk which juts out of the side.
  23. That is loooking brilliant, so far. When they distress it more, and add the 'rougher' features, we are going to have the best themed ride in the UK...
  24. I couldn't agree less.
  25. Oooo, the new photos look great, but I would prefer the interior to stick a little more to the Sawmill style, but, these are only artistic interpretations, and we can't see the whole thing yet.I was walking down Monk's Walk yesterday, and I heard a small 'explosion,' I guess, and then a thud, and a small plume of smoke rose above the construction area. Has anyone got any recent photos?
