THE SWARM: Preview Event?
Let's get this straight people: this is a B&M. The restraints won't break. Don't let's be silly.End.

Alton Towers Meet 2012
Voted for October, as it's the only month I'd be able to do it.

It's going to be positioned over the entrance to the queueline, which in turn puts it over the point where the train exits the station too. It's going on top of that station structure, with talons outstretched so as to give the impression it is swooping down to pick up the riders.

Park Music
Would it not be easier, thi13teen (lest we ever say anything to deter from Rihanna's high and mighty omnipotence) to simply remove the Top 40 music? Nobody likes it at a theme park because it's an attachment to reality - theme parks are meant to envelope their guests and make them believe they've escaped for a few hours. Also, we won't need to refurbish the entrance that way.

Sidders' Friendly Tip: For your personal item, do not bring a music player/device. It's just a little predictable and many people do it.

50ft wing-span and a weight of 800lbs! Looks awesome!

Anonymous makes a statement when they take down a website. It's sending a message to Robb Alvey if anything... Kudos to them I say; they're the ones who permanently disabled the Westboro Baptist Church's first website and protested against SOPA's boycotting of online piracy by rephrasing their bill to mean almost exactly the opposite of it's original intentions.

For some reason, the number of images allowed in member's signatures has reverted back to zero, and on top of that, many members are having trouble finding their "Edit Signature" button to start with! If there's any adjustments you'd like to make to your signature, I can do so in the Moderator Control Panel if you send me a PM of the new content. :)I'll talk to Marc and Ian about rectifying the signature feature.

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Agreed with Saz. Photos from as early as late December show the other station façades as being a darkened, bullet-strafed beige colour. The pristine whiteness on the one wall just looks out of place to me.

Nice to know they do all the important stuff before the track leaves the fabrication plant...- Parks, Rides And Coaster News
Key Stone Thrills have spotted an s-bend on SkyRush. And what and s-bend it is!Looking awesome, if you can ignore the colours. And considering SkyRush's newly-modified lap-bar restraints, riders' necks might be preserved until the end of the ride in a world's first for Intamin.Oh, and some funky-lookin' doohickey thing is clamped onto the track for whatever reason.- Music
Happy St. Valentine's Day, guys! I'm not doing much myself except feeling intolerably miserable but earlier I was watching Shrek 2 with my little sister Dearbhla and of course, this song's in the soundtrack, and all of a sudden my lovelorn bitterness vanished because I just can't help smile at this song. It makes me a little bit happier to be alone. :DCounting Crows and Dreamworks.- THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Well-spotted, Liam. :)At least we can be happy they haven't called it something ridiculous that doesn't fit in. It's like a vigilante resource depot where the last few survivors can stock up ammunition against the apocalypse. I wonder what kind of emergency supplies there will be...?- THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Celebrities shouldn't be given exit passes. It's an absolute farce that they should get priority while us normal people sit idly by and watch them go round before anyone else. I don't care if they're the nation's treasures; they should exercise a little modesty and queue like everyone else. This isn't the US, where they treat their celebrities like demigods.And TPGG, that's no excuse. Why should they expect a "nice day out"? If they're the kind of celebrity who can't go to their local corner shop without a swarm of paparazzi commenting on the quality of their dress sense then why should they assume that if they were to go to a theme park, where thousands of people congregate each day, that they could have a nice peaceful day out? If Princess Diana can visit the park and insist that she and her family queue, unassisted by guards, for every ride as a normal quest would have to, then I don't see why a second-rate comedian/TV presenter should get the privilege of exit passes. - Parks, Rides And Coaster News
