2006? Blimey, shows how much attention I pay!

Park Music
The only way you can tell is when the "boom boom boom" part of the Nemmie track plays at the beginning and end.

Slammer
Yes, you're right, it's tops were still over the other side of the pond! So it must've been 2006. I remember 2006 kicked off midweek on Wednesday with the Stealth opening, and it was that Sunday (4 days later) that Slammer got stuck.

You've just contradictated yourself - look closely at your avatar, James. And what does it say underneath? Critical Error Detected. ;)Hilarious.

OK. My swearing is really starting to annoy you? Today I have logged on, and what do I find in 3 topics? You dictating me on how to behave. You have no right to tell me what to do. Any more and I shall filter back across your replies to me in posts and all of them, and I shall also inform the "people at the top" of this forum. If you've got something to say, PM me. Yeah, you've deleted over 2,734 accounts, for one reason or another - mostly accounts for people who sign up and abandon them literally straight away! Me aggressive. Naa. Are you talking about anyone in particular?

X-Sector
An interesting article from Towers Nerd that I've just been reading:Black Hole tent work (click)X Sector sign temporarily removed, a cherry picker outside tent possibly going in?What's going on, nobody knows. Mystery.

Dragon's Fury
Who cares? Well I don't, but Skips might. They might not want their logos on there anymore. What's to say Skips and Tussauds might have fallen out since 2004? We don't know.

Rattlesnake
I wish they'd make a flaming decision on what they're going to do with the Rodeo area. It's been gone 3 years now! It's the only ride I've ever seen removed and visible evidence of it being there in the past 3 years down the line.

Queue Times
I can't see how it looks longer myself, when it clearly is a few metres shorter.

Tidal Wave
Perhaps this is an issue for Guest Services! Let's inform them of this.Has the A in Wave never worked? Whiteknuckle correctly answered you question, but also to add, the wave does hit the Splash Zone, I've seen it hit right on target. This is on a day with no wind.

Park Music
I thought they working again, blasting out the main Nemmie theme?
-
Slammer
It did, back in early 2007. Or was it 2006? It was when the park was open for February half-term.

Park Music
Sometimes they don't - Samurai's recently f**ked completely and they had to be replaced.

Feedback of the Forums
Admins, I know how hard you slave over this lovely forum. Here is a request:Would it be possible to brighten up (in some shape of form) a way of alerting you that you have a new message? All it says is 1 New Message at the top and you have to look closely. Could the green strip possibly change to another colour and have some large text amongst it?Other forums have a better way of telling you have a new PM - not that I'm criticising you system of course.

That's strange how you can hear piss in the toilets.

This Or That
Christmas with family.10p slot machines or 2p ones?

So if we've got 400 members, it means that over 2500 of the people who have applied have simply applied and thought "Sod this" and left their account to rot - correct?This is the kind of numbskull that irritates me - one member who signs up, posts one topic and then f**ks off:Clicky: http://forum.maniahub.com/index.php?showto...amp;#entry27390

Legoland
When I went to Legoland back in April, I didn't know what to expect - apart from everything made and themed with Lego obviously. But the whole place has changed since the Windsor Safari Park days! I barely recognised it. Well, it was about 16 years since I last went (e.g. my first visit as Legoland).
-
Dragon's Fury
Stone me, I better take a closer look at the cars when I'm next there then! I'm sure the logo at the entrance has gone. And I'm sure it's still on the stone dragon in the queue (well that would be hard to rub that off the dragon). Well that's in breach of contract then!

Rameses Revenge
Top marks that man! And no doubt they'll put a pumpkin in the recess of the wall behind the ride.

Park Music
I love it. I've noticed this year it's actual jingle at the end has been slightly changed. Not sure which one I prefer. They now play a mixture of the old and new one. No, no, this cannot get any worse! Yes, and it's bloody annoying. The current Slammer music may be such a simple and boring tune to some, but to me it's awesome. And sometimes I bloody wanna listen to it when queueing!
-
Queue Times
Yes, I've noticed Colossus queues have been long lately. Especially since it re-opened after the nets, and especially too when Stealth is closed.
-
Tidal Wave
Imperial Leather and Original Source are both made by PZ Cussons. There may be more that belong to Cussons, but I dunno.I'm like Original Source, I'm packed with natural stuff.
-
Slammer
It gives me an adrenaline rush and the freedom too. I do hate it though when there's some ****er sitting next to you holding their hands out to the sides of them, and your view is blocked.I remember when Slammer was built, the guy ordering the blocks didn't know how many he needed for the trench.

Rant
You get this a lot, especially on the quieter stations.Also, Mario on this year's Big Brother was targeted because of his over-the-top health and safety. Well at least some sod spots it out, health and safety is something most of us don't look out for, and in this country, H&S is disturbingly appauling.
