Well Merlin have invested in a Town which is having millions invested in its regeneration. There's nothing there about BPB
-
Interesting news there. Could give Blackpool a serious shot in the arm, attraction wise and make for very interesting times ahead.

I have no idea what you mean monsterdan5

40/50 minutes for a brand new ride is pretty good. I can think of Stelf, Shlamma, Roosh, Sore, Sore Aleeve and Fish all having much longer queues when they were new, so I fail to see your point.See it sounds it, thorpe had alot more than that too, but 40/50 mins for cobra, or 20 mins for Detonator I know which one I would choose!

Chessington on Saturday was excellent. Lewis and I met up with John and Benin at Wild Asia and headed straight for the Lorikeets.
Many photos were takenCaptain Benin
Benin the Birdman
We then met Elvis 
He was gorgeous
We did Bubbleworks, after an breakdown
Daniel will explain this one 
John and Benin were due one 
We then met the amazing Meerkat 
Fab Tree
Lorikeets were revisited!
How many?
Elvis was on a mission
He really is gorgeous, if only he came in blue 
Meerkats had to be visited
Speculation was rife
What is this?
Time will tell!A great first UK RGOT of the year, it was great to meet JoshC and monsterdan5 for the first time and to see Benin for the first time in years. It's been a whole 3 months since I had seen John too! We met up with some CFers too, it's always good to meet some old friends, and a certain Neal and Neal junior ... yes there is another one! 
Exit passes on Vampire and Dragons Fury were great, thanks to John and his contacts Full Gallery is Here -

Every little helps

Good stuff

Funny how people moan when there isn't a competition, yet don't take part when there is.

I think that's unfair. I haven't seen too much of the fanboy coming through in Marcs posts. Yours however ...

Yeah, I don't think Mothers Day would have been such a huge factor. Personally I think this may be a sign that Thorpe may have got it wrong, in terms of target audience, whereas Chessington have got it spot on. If they can collect an average of 13,000 over 32 weekends, they would get almost 730,000 ... then they have the summer weekdays and Halloween to further boost the figures. Well done Chessington.

Judging by the capacities for Navigator and Edge, we should expect little from Kobra. Loading and unloading is extremely time consuming, although I have heard that Kobra doesn't have secondary restraints installed, so that should save a little time. The thing about Zamperla Diskos is that they look spectacular rides, and Kobras theming looks to make that look one of the best seen. So, with a capacity of perhaps 300-400 per hour, this will never be a queue cruncher.A 13,000 gate figure is quite something for an Annual Pass Preview. Did that beat Thorpe? I am now extremely concerned about my visit on Saturday :S

Dislikes having his image taken by a camera

Shares my liking for extremely Smart Phones

It's Holly .... *hugs* Nothing else to say really

Good stuff James, I am looking forward to visiting on Wednesday after our text convo

Is it rude though?All you are doing is taking a photo of yourself, and surely you own the copyright to your own image?I had a bit of grief at Alton last year with a jobsworth who insisted that I could not take a photo of the screen, I did get a photo of him though

They may be playing to a shameless generation, but this is one 'fan' who is ashamed of this map, and the endless failures in Thorpes PR machine.Looking through the screen caps, some things are actually clever, and well thought out, others are simply reckless and cavalier - which leaves one image so out of place that it becomes distasteful.
This poor guy (and I have seen this for real in Blackpool) is being made a fool of by people in the shop.
Drug induced stars?
Looks like beer bottles at a Theme Park is acceptable?
Quite humorous actually.
The minister who blessed Stealth is a clever inclusion.
No ideas about this one.
Gay cowboys?
As JoshC pointed out.... no doubt whats happening here with trousers, tshirt and pants lying on the grass.
And finally, to ensure they comply with all of the minority legislation requirements we have this guy.
As most of you know, I do have a pretty good sense of humour, am pretty open minded and certainly not a prude. However, for a Global Corporation to endorse such publicity is beyond my comprehension. The website was bad enough, but I bit my tongue and said nothing. The map is something which will have been printed in hundreds of thousands, and distributed to all visitors to the Park, and will form part of the lasting memory of peoples visit - I am sure that most people have a collection of maps from places visited. How will this map stackup in the grand sceme of things in the future .... I suspect not that well.As Steve said, Sort it out Thorpe. -
You aren't blonde by any chance?

No sign of it anywhere I'm afraid Josh.

^ lolRegardless of whether this forum is supposed to be a lighthearted and fun place to be, in the off topic section, members are able to discuss anything they want. Personally I would rather have something different such as this, than discuss a fence in all of its intimate detail.

Yeah it is the number of coincidences which surely makes a conspiracy.

Okay neither of those were too long, and I did read them.I rarely say that I hate anyone, and if I do, it's because of things they do deliberately, not accidentally. We live in a society where tolerance is expected in a number of areas, and I have to admit that I can't always find it possible to be so. However, in these cases, I have no problem whatsoever. I remember a conversation with Will a while back where I was just a bit alarmed in terms of content and context, yet carried on with it, understanding the difficulties he has with social interaction. I also wanted him to come to the London trip in December as we had a great time the year before. Michaela is awesome on here and Facebook, although still a tad quiet in person. I don't count that as a problem though, we hardly know each other yet. If people say inappropriate things to me, I will tell them ... then move on, simple as. Life is too short to get bogged down with silly stuff like this.
