  1. Great - thanks for that.
  2. When I visit Mania Hub.com I am greeted with a great page. But Chessington and Alton Towers Mania are still to launch I see, does anyone know when they will? Becuase I have noticed they've been waiting to launch for a while now.The logos look great, but I don't think Thorpe ride shapes in their backgrounds are the best of ideas.
  3. The site's been accessible for months via this link:http://www.tussaudsmedia.co.uk/teaser/audio/thorpe/index.phpAll Thorpe pictures and audio have been there, but the officially the site's been closed. It's only recently that Alton Towers content has started to go up!
  4. Lastnight I gave some feedback on the forum, and not even before midnight someone had deleted it.Well don't worry, I'll re-post my views after christmas. Or then again I might not even bother as some people feel they're not appropriate complaint material.I'm being honest by telling you that people sign up here and leave afer seeing it may be too strict for them. I'm sorry if that truth hurts but then doesn't that tell anyone here to ease back and relax?
  5. Snap! That's what I was wanting on the site.Anyway, Merlin Media isn't open yet. Mind you, let's give the bloke a chance to get up and crank up his computer.
  6. The content is still on there as I was browsing it earlier. If you do a Google search for say "Fotowhizz Alton" you'll get the pages of the site listed in the result and you can get into the site and view the pages.
  7. Better late than never - Merlin Media, a great christmas present.In other news, I see that Fotowhizz has packed up shop.
  8. Now he's got me...
  9. Gareth, you're a berk. But then why the hell are there video links on Renny's website?
  10. Merlin have already confirmed they're passing on the VAT reduction, so prices may not move at all. But then again, that's hardly likely.
  11. I am smiling, but trying hard not to.
  12. You're right, there's some videos of the Oblivion queueline on his website, Renny Krupinski.comAnd here's a picture from his site, you can tell it's him:
  13. I'm really surprised how far down the line they are with ride. It's not supposed to open until the spring, have a rest Gaustler workmen! I assume the link to the Colossus queueline will soon be being sorted out? Is it going to be a second entrance?
  14. I was at Alton Towers in October, and my mate spotted him working on Oblivion after seeing the video. I'd have never recognised him.
  15. Yes, but if you be a good by Santa will come on Thursday.
  16. Something I've just stumbled upon (this is funny):He writes:Thorpe park is currently building a new coaster with a below vertical first drop designed by Bolliger and Mabilliard. It will be pretty similar to this. Opens 2009And then shows the picture:Putting aside the colour and surroundings, the track layout is nothing like Saw, especially after the drop.Click here to view the page.
  17. According to the calendar, Christmas is on the 24th.
  18. There's loads to look forward to at Alton Towers next year: Ug Swinger will be in Cred Street The new Sea Life Centre in Mutiny Bay The new cable car gondolas (about time!) And now I've heard that both KFC and Pizza Hut in Katanga Canyon and X Sector are to be replaced by "pasta bars", anyone have any more info on this? If so, I wonder if Thorpe and Chessington will follow.
  19. Here is a picture from 11 years ago when Oblivion was under construction:(In Borat voice): Nice! :DI didn't realise this but the bloke in the queueline videos actually works at the park!
  20. Unfortunately they're not made anymore.
  21. Another day, another day...I see in the last couple of days the McCanns have releaed yet more photos and videos of Madeline, and are reminding us all not to forget that she is still missing. It's been just over 600 days now since she went missing, and since then, to this day, the McCanns still still believe they'll find Madeline alive. Although they have been cleared of having no involvement in her disappearance, do Gerry and Kate really still believe she'll turn up alive?I'm sorry to say that I don't think she will. It's been over 18 months - where has she been all that time, and how has she survived? Last Christmas I could understand Gerry and Kate still believing, but now, I do think that they're living in a dreamworld.I mean no disrespect for the McCanns, however, it's what I think.
  22. Merlin Entertainments' head office is in Dorset, and there is some office for them in Chessington, who knows what it's for.
  23. I was getting the little X come up in the box, in the place of where the image should be. But since about Thursday it seems to be working OK on any computer I use now, so problem solved.Cheers anyway guys.
  24. I know what you mean about Loggers. Every time I go up the conveyor I think to myself "Oh yes, we're gonna wetter here than Falls!"
  25. As we speak, Tussauds Studios are no doubt composing music and sound rides.Is it called Tussauds Studios anymore, or Merlin Studios?
