On the subject of Christmas, mine is going up tomorrow!

I take it there are still shows then? :)I wouldn't of thought Seastorm would be operational due to the fact I have seen boats around the ride area before. :POh well, at least their are 2 attractions in operation, as well as the Zoo and SEALIFE

I am considering visiting on a Chessington Zoo and SEALIFE day during the closed season.(Yes, I am missing the park) :)Does anyone know if any of the shows are still on during the closed season openings?Also, has anyone visited on a Zoo day on Mania Hub?

I am also loving the name Thi13teen! I like it has a nice ring to it.Also, the number 13 is related to a lot of people in a variety of ways. (Such as unlucky. I have also know some people to think death).The name will be good as you may have the fear of the name of the ride, as well as the actual ride! :PI also think that it is really good that Rita: Queen of Speed will be recieving some attention too as I don't think it would look right having the lovely female racer with a darkly themed ride. :)I have not been able to go to Alton Towers for 2 years now, but looking at the microsite, (with thanks to Magrathea), I will endeavour to get up there!

I didn't really want to see Dueling Dragons go and thought going to Harry Potter would be a big mistake.After reading your post Sheepie, I have totally changed my opinion, so thank you. :)As you said, it is going to be epic!

Been set a 1500 word essay to do in English for next week! (As well as the other work for Coursework in other subjects ).

I am glad you agree Ross! :)AeroplaneMobile Phone or Pay Phone?

Bus - Brighton's busses are just too epic to miss :)Car or Choo Choo Train?

Computer probably.Walking or Cycling?

I am going to be very short with this post to Theme Park bloke.Don't like us? Then don't let the door hit you on your way out!Ian has already stated he will more than happily delete your membership, so all you have to do is email an admin!

Who actually wrote that post above as no name is on the quote.

I only noticed it cause I remembered you said you used to work on Vortex. :PAnd Big Brother's reaction would of probably been "erm... okay?!"

I love how both groups had to mention a ride!Also, I love Michaela for going to do the Vortex announcement. :)Is that why you feel sad Paul?! :PWish I could of joined you guys that day

Dr GChristmas or Easter?

Am I the only one who fails to see the Nemesis Inferno Fright Night music?

To anyone who has Facebook and is on the offical Alton Towers Page:You will find construction pictures for SW6!

Mark - You say the operator has to be able to see the queue as it is a main attraction. What about Dragon Falls then? Dragon Falls is even more busy, obviously, in the summer. Isn't that queue line completely exposed to the sun too?Really, I think it is common sense that you take a drink with you if you are standing around in a long queue in the sun.(Or is that just me ).Dragon's Fury - I have also seen someone faint but this was just at the batching point.I felt so sorry for them as they looked so embarrased but obviously there was nothing she could do.

The only time I have seen people having to purchase a map is in the kiosks.However, even then, some just give them to guests.(Rightly so, I believe).

Nah. I don't think that Sheepie was joking. :)You are both right! They would be a cool couple!

I am loving that Santa has joined Mania Hub! :P

It does look quite well labelled and layed out for the Dragon's Fury operator.I just hope there is more than just putting the same 2 buttons now for the operator on Dragon's Fury!
