    You see, I'm somewhat sympathetic. I'd be lying if I said I didn't kick a few balls over a neighbour's fence as a boy ever now and then, but it was only ever one and I always knocked politely asking for it back. It's the every day which is annoying, plus the fact how he has sometimes jumped into our garden to get some back...
  2. JoshC. replied to Theme Park bloke's topic in The Real World
    How on earth a little kid can own at least NINE footballs, and every day manage to successfully kick at least FOUR (or in today's case, all of them) over their fence into my garden and not learn is beyond me...
  3. Anything is possible though..Stealth grandstand, Saw windmill.. So many details like that have changed, and could easily change with this project also..
  4. I'd have thought it to be a little early to film an advert. I thought it might have been one of those talk group things about how they could improve FN and what a new attraction should be, as 16-24 is the main target market.We shall see though!
  5. I sent an email to them; should be alright.
  6. JoshC. replied to Ryan's topic in Stuff
    I had the thought flying in my head for a while now, but thought it was too farfetched.. Also, I don't really get why she's now so important to the Doctor, it just seems a bit 'why'? I thought the episode was a bit long winded and just basically 'here's a twist, here's another, blah blah blah, another twist, cliffhanger'. I haven't really been impressed with the series to be honest...
  7. Agree with Robot Wars - absolutely loved it. Hypno-disc, Panic Attack and Pussycat were my favourite 'classic' Robots, but must say I've got a soft spot for Dantomkia too.
  8. JoshC. replied to Marc's topic in The Past
    Well, it's darker than it was before. And there's more smoke around the attraction. Much harder to see what's going on; considering what it was like beforehand, I'm 'impressed' by that.When I went on Thursday though, there were 9 actors - the most I've ever had. I wasn't really interacted with that much though, which was a disappointment..Kudos to Thorpe for getting it back up quite quickly and for how well they've done with it, but the attraction is as naff as ever really...

    Razy Gogonea is certainly the one to beat in my eyes. Especially after that performance!

    As said above: Water coasters: YesDark rides: Only if they have a coaster. So, Hex - Not a credit, X:\NWO - Credit.
  11. JoshC. replied to Mr.man's topic in General Discussion
    Pretty simple when you think about it: A coaster credit is a roller coaster! Yeah, some people don't like counting powered coasters, but I think they should be to be honest. Duelling coasters I think should be separate for different track, as long as they have different layouts.I keep a track of my credits (to be fair though, it's not that high at the moment!) and of ride counts and all that. It's just something that I feel is natural with the whole idea of being an enthusiast, though I completely understand that some just don't do it. (Oh, and I probably would be one of those people who would try and get on every coaster possible, just for the credit of it. )
  12. The teacup had that added just over a month ago, which is an improvement.As for the sponsorship itself; 'That's Better, That's Tetley' is not what I think...
  13. Little bit disappointed that the mist today wasn't as large in quantity today. Didn't have quite as much as impact as the mist when it's at the beginning of the tunnel, like it's been for most of the season.Though a big well done to the staff today, who were dispatching absolutely fantastically!
  14. JoshC. replied to James6's topic in Stuff
    David and Karen and Two and a Half Men should have got through yesterday to be honest.Really liked Circus of Horrors (would love for them to be able to perform at Thorpe for FN ) and Les.
  15. JoshC. replied to Garyy's topic in The Past
    I've never found the water that bad - could be better, but it's not terrible.There was that dodgy smell after the tunnel mind, though I haven't actually noticed that this season at all..
  16. There have been plenty of times I can count of when staff have not followed the rules of the card - probably more intentionally than unintentionally!One time on Stealth a couple of years back, on a half hour queue, our card didn't yet signed at all. We even said 'here's our card' and the woman there just said don't worry. I won't lie, we didn't say any more and just went on the ride - but if staff won't bother, it's not our problem.Though, to be fair, 2010 onwards, they've been quite firm, but fair, when filling it out.
  17. JoshC. replied to Geo's topic in Stuff
    Sorry Rollercoaster, but to be a pain, is it possible to have the text in red? Cheers
  18. I've always heard and thought it cost £8million, which I've thought to be reasonable. :S
  19. JoshC. replied to Geo's topic in Stuff
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LNnTMoa5ig&feature=channel_video_titleFrom 0:52 (When you see the bloodied hand) to 0:56 would be amazing. Also, if you get 'JoshC.' to splash on the end somehow, it would be greatly appreciated.Cheers in advanced!
  20. I can't remember the last time I saw it it working.Pretty sure it's been 'unavailable' since last season, perhaps even since 09 season...
  21. JoshC. replied to zkk's topic in Stuff
    Manchester United are seemingly cursed at Wembley. I can't remember the last time they actually won there...
  22. JoshC. replied to Theme Park bloke's topic in The Real World
    When one of your teachers rights on your tentative end-of-year report 'You must meet deadline dates; you missed the last one', when you actually handed it in on time and when it wasn't actually marked.
  23. To be honest, if some Eurofighters can stall after the 'extreme' weather conditions of today (ie, a bit of rain and some faster-than-normal wind), then I wouldn't see the point in building them in the UK...If what you've heard is true, I'm more than a little bit surprised...
  24. JoshC. replied to NickD's topic in UK Attractions
    Firstly, it's Atlantis Submarine Voyage. ;)Here's stuff from opening day last Friday, including a video from onride: http://go-merlin.co.uk/wp/archives/2817 (Taken from GM, all copyright to them, yadda yadda yadda). From reviews I've read, sounds like a decent attraction for Legoland. Not entirely sure about Dino Dipper, been years since I visited Lego...
