I have Bioshock - A game about a man who crashes from an aeroplane in the middle of the atlantic and finds a light house. Inside the lighhouse is a submarine (bathysphere) that takes you to an underwater city that has gone to hell after all those who lived spliced up on too much ADAM (took to many drugs) and became mutated. you also have to overcome the Big Daddies (Robots in diving suits) to Save or Harvest (save or kill) the Little Sisters who are 5 year old girls mutated by a seaslug and instructed to gathe ADAM.I'm also getting Bioshock 2 - Set 10 years after the first, rapture has got worse but now YOU ARE a Big Daddy and now must overcome the Big Sister, a robotic Little Sister who harvests other little sisters.Id recommend both

http://www.towerstimes.co.uk/Sonic Spinball - Alton Towers new ride.()3 Year Contract with Sega()New signs announcements and theme music()Brand new Sonic-themed Alton Towers Hotel RoomAwesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the things I really like about SAW is the smell in the station. It kinda smells like plastic but not really. Has anyone else smelt this?

If you actually looked at the minisite you can see the Alton Towers have spelt it Th13teenand personally, I like the name. It kind of gets you thinking "what relevance the number has to the ride and what you would associate whith it. It could really frighten people

"Please note that we have added a small 50p charge to our maps this year" -- http://www.chessington.com/plan_your_trip/chessington_map.asp?css=2This has been posted on the Chessington website.Do you think its another way for Merlin to make money?

I just thought of something:Not only do they have to build the new coaster, re-theme Rita and Re-theme UG Land but Alton also have to re-theme the UG Land and Rita holes on Extra-Ordinary Golf.Quite a bit of work if you think about it.

This a question of interest:What were MR Rabbits Tropical Travels & Trappers Trails?I know Mr Rabbits was replaced with inferno and Trappers was removed for Colossus and Slammer but what actually were they?

Just wonderingWhich areas cover which rides?

I went to THORPE PARK yesterday because I had the day off school. I was expecting the queues to be short but what I didn't expect was:SAW - The Ride --- 5 - 10 minutes --- 7 trainsStealth --- 15 minutes --- 1 trainNemesis Inferno --- 0-5 minutes --- 1 trainColossus --- 0 Minutes - 1 trainSamurai --- 10 minutesTidal Wave --- 0-5 minutesEVERYTHING ELSE was 0 minutes (walk-on)

Is that why Black Hole closed? Because it didn't pass its H&S Test?Anyway, it might be that Merlin decide to re-construct the Black Hole exactly as it was but with a newly painted and brand new cars for all we know seeing as its all still in there.

Is the new 'Black Forest Haunt' in Transylvania going to be a maze like 'Field Of 1000 Screams'? If so they've started erecting it today on the path from the Vampire entrance to Black Buccaneer/Picnic Field/Dragons Fury.

2010) []Mack Splash Battle Ride (in place of M H F Safari) called "Miss Hippo's Ranger Falls". Ride themed as a lake with a waterfall deep in the 'Fungle'. Cars themed as Rafts.

Restraints - Secure. Oxygen - Secure. Shuttle Navigation - Denied. Reboot: Navigation - Denied. System Abort.". Then as you come to the tpo:"Shuttle Rejected". Then you are thrown into a pitch black rollercoaster ride (like X:\ but spinning and no stops). []Detonator is moved to the new island and renamed "Anti-Gravity". The Tower is painted Grey and White while the Gondola is painted Navy.[]Hotel Opens along with Monorail to the Park.2013) []A new system is installed: Ride Time.

Why does *Fragons Dury (also Spinball Whizzer or any Mauhroh Sohne Ride) have a 1.9m Maximum height limit?*Dragons Fury - Sorry!

I went to Thorpe Park yesterday. The queue for Rush was ten minutes so I thought I might aswell go on it. I was queing for 5 minutes when the operator said "Due to an unfortunate case of the upthrust of food, the ride is temporarely closed until we clean the seats." it took 10 minutes to clean then they put it on a test run before I finaly got on. their was a commotion becuase no one wanted to sit on that seat so altogether I queued for 30 minutes.

When I went yesterday there was an effect that no one has mentioned before - The pond under the first loop blasts water at the riders. I have never seen this happen before, has anyone else seen this?

Tidal Wave was down today. I went on Monday and saw a Original Source sign/logo and when I went today it was gone. I also saw a few OS signs in the station. I dont know if this is why its closed?

(prepare for boredom)I went to Legoland yesterday and there some Good points and a lot more bad points.Bad()The Jungle coaster has been ruined by the new cars.()The Dragon coaster's indoor section had only 1 thing turned on.()Fairy Tale Brook was ok but the Water Jets had been turned off.()Pirate Falls was terrible. None of the objects moved, The squirting rats and cannons didnt work. Two of the lego models had fallen of their plynth and fell into the bushes behind and I even saw one of the gravestones near the lift fall backwards - very poor.()Laiser Raiders kept braking down. We went on a car and only 1 of the 4 guns worked, we then got another go but still one didnt work.()Viking River splash was very wet - the only negative thing was that the carwash - like bit was broken.Good()The man running Scarab Bouncers was great fun!!!()The queues were short cos alot of people had bought Q-BOT meaning the normal queues were quick.()MiniLand was Excelent!!!This is quite a dissapointment seeing as Legoland is usually better at caring for their rides and keeping their theming switched on.But the trip went alright!!

That would be very much appreciated thanks!!!!Also I think its very clever that you thought of the "children in control" theming and then basing it around a playground.Well Done!!!!!

Why did Thorpe, Alton & Chessie install all those Fastrack turnstiles then remove them after less than a year of operation?

I read on www.reallyrollercoaster.com that the Jungle Coaster at Windsor is closed and will probably be removed after just 2 years of operation. Can anyone confirm this?

I am going to Chessington soon because I want to go to beanoland for the last time. I have also never been on IL Bubbleworks (I've been on Prof. Burps Bubbleworks) so I dont know what to expect. I've heard good reviews and bad reviews so I would like others opinions. I also would like to know what the highest queue time there was and what you would queue for.Thanks.

2016/2017) Infill the area between Stealth and the new Island. Some very secretive is going on.Late 2018) Stealth closes and ticket prices are put down (-£6 online, -£5 on-the-day) 2019)No Thrilll Chill. Construction of a coaster on the infilled are behind Stealth. Stealth Still Closed. 2020)Pathway way built from stealth to Coaster(now called SHUTTLE LAUNCH¬(a Maurer Söhne Spinning Coaster)) Stealth and Shuttle Launch themed to a Sci-Fi area (stealth extended* and re-named BLAST-OFF) Both rides and area open to the puplic(late june/july) Tickets back to nonrmal price.*()Station Made Smaller. Start in station, move to a dark room where there are 3 TV screens(1 infront of you and 2 either side of it) Video on Screen 2 of a general saying "Good Luck to all of you." Then a women is shown counting down while on screens 1&3 the numbers flash up, then...."Blast Off!!" as you are launched out of the room at 80mph in 1.5 secs.¬()Start in a Docking Station. Then move slowly out and up the lifthill. At the end you fall down into an X:\NWO like ride but with stars instead of just black.

If I wa Thorpe Park, I'd open TP Hotel with themed rooms (like AT hotel) eg.()Stealth Room - Themed around a racetrack()Tidal Wave Room - Like a Wave has just hit it()Colossus Room - Themed around a lost temple()Nemesis Room - Themed around a Pompei-like room (next to Versuvious(Nemesis Inferno))()SAW Room - Room in a warehouse with blood and body parts()X:\NO WAY OUT Room - Very Sci-Fi()Calypso Room - Tropical Rainforest()Canada Creek Room - Canadian Areaand then the rest could be normal()Adventure Rooms - A Basic Hotel RoomJust an Idea

I noticedthat.Last Trip When I went on X I did it first and there were these really bright yellow lights at the bottom & top of the lift hill and right in the middle of the pyramid.Then when I rode it again after lunch, only the flashing blue and green lights on the lifthill were on.X:\NO WAY OUT is the best!!

I was just wondering to myself:What if Rumba Rapids was sponsored by Imperial Leather?Then I thought that I could edit pictures to LOOK like its sponsored by ILPictures:http://g.imagehost.org/0580/Rumba_1.jpghttp://g.imagehost.org/0551/Rumba_2.jpghttp://g.imagehost.org/0945/Rumba_3.jpgMaybe IL's boats (if they sponsor it!) have a way to stop people moving about as much.
