Theme Park bloke

The second powercut?! What about Vampire, at the highest point? Why the hell are servers for other parks run from Chessie? Is it the theme park or Merlin's offices in Barwell Business Park they're run from?This must've been pretty scary stuff, yet for passers-by, interesting. What time did yesterday's powercut happen and do we do know what rides were half way through when it got cut off?

Really?! Do we know whereabouts?

Cheers - let's get buying!

Mmm - Vanessa Hudgens. Hollywood Hottie Hun.

Do I just install it and then use the RCT3 as normal (with the RCT3 disc), and it should be there, added?

I've just planned my Alton Towers trip for next month (thankfully - I was beginning to think I wouldn't get there this year). After the recent Sky Ride fire, is the whole ride closed? It usally has been in September during the week because the park's quiet.

I know they follow the rules, but what I'm saying is that some staff leave guests waiting behind the wooden gate until the ride has started, whereas some let people through just as the people in front are stepping off Slammer.

How?! This is not making sense!

Who doesn't?!

No, I don't work on Vampire, I heard it playing louder last Sunday, and the station was just as packed when I went in June and it was playing quieter. It's instantly noticeably louder the second you get inside the station.I know the re-ride.net version has 7 dongs on the church bell, but for a few seconds worth of a long track that's different to the original, it just ain't worth it. It's the same with the Colossus drums.

I still love Vampire but the ride experience is changing for me all the time, depends what time of year it is and what the weather's like!

Mark9, you know what's going at Chessington, what was up with Falls on Sunday?

I am not spending £5 on a piece of plastic to shove over me, only to look like a right retard, when I can change into my own clothes for at no cost! I am Theme Park bloke, I am brave and do things properly.

Well whose fault is it then, it's hardly the visitors fault, is it?! I cannot believe how busy I've seen Colossus' queue this year, it's like and then you think " , look at that queue."

It's available on re-ride.net.Also, they've finally turned the music up in the Station!

I think a lot of people forget about Quantum because of it's location. Yet most of us walk past it went entering the Lost City, all they need to do to get people to notice it more is to cut down the greenery behind it to reveal it. Passers-by will then notice it more. If it's neighbour Rush is visible, then this can be too.

Me too - I've made myself a new rule that I'll take a pair of swimming trunks to change into, and an old crappy shirt. Then I can get as wet as I like without worrying.

I've only ever seen one when at the park, but there are plenty of videos of them on the net.

A sort-of cog mechanism then?

I popped down to Chessington on Sunday. I was wanting to get my first '09 ride of Falls but it was closed, anyone know what's up with it?

Now that we know a little more of what is happening in the soon-to-go Beanoland, this kinda tells us that nothing major will change with Bubbleworks next year, apart from the sponsorship removal. Would I be right in thinking this?Also, the SeaLife Centre was only planned for 2 years when it was put in last year, therefore it would have to go at the end of this year. Are they intending to keep SeaLife for another year or two? It would be a shame to lose it.

From TPG:We've heard that February Half Term Thrill Chill may not be returning next year

Save some money, get rid of the damn ride.

There is a lot of speculation generally at the moment that Michael Jackson's death was planned. You've only got to Google it to get lots of results where lots of websites are debating it.I'm interested to know the following from people here: Do you believe his death was planned? Is his death bigger than Elvis'? The recent Channel 4 documentary highlighted some interesting points, such as the incident in 1984 where a lightbulb exploded above him, showering him with glass. Therefore he needed drugs for the rest of his life. It also talked about Jacko going to bed with the agreement of 10 concerts planned, and waking up the following morning with the agreement of 50 concerts. The documentary also mentioned that his finances had been studied, and he was spending £20-30 million more than he could afford (I can't remember if it was per month or year etc).These 3, as well as his spiralling debts, the closure of his Neverland ranch that he said he never wanted to return to, and the haunting childhood abuse he suffered from his father, all add up to speculate that whether Jackson, at just over 50 years old, had really had enough and arranged to end his life?We've all seen this clip where he's announcing his O2 concerts - famously titled This Is It, is it possible that if Jackson had done 10, 25 or 50 concerts, would his death have been planned after them? This Is It - 3 carefully chosen words, hinting a planned end to Jackson's life?Now look at his hand in this picture below - a bad quality picture or a hint of self-abuse?I am unsure of what to think, and it's not nice to think that his death could have been planned. But when you look at all these, and others, your mind does wonder as to whether his death was planned?R.I.P Michael Jackson.

Nope, is that what I need? Does it cost to buy or can I get a free download?
