Is Alton Still Going To Be No.1 In 5 Years Time?
I did, and had no problem with it.Am I one of the few people who didn't find Corkscrew's 'roughness' an issue? Yeah. it was rough but I found that to be no issue, and actually made the ride more... interesting. I wouldn't say more enjoyable, but definitely added to my experience. But Corkscrew's removal will have no affect on AT's number one status.

Thorpe Park Ride Game
^Points get reset to 5 for every ride when a ride bites the dust. You'll need to reset the scores.I think

Chessington General Discussion
The Flying Island idea has pretty much died out with Peeking Heights.But yeah, agreed with Benin - rides and more rides are needed.

Yes Will, seriously. I don't disagree that Radcliffe is good at his job - so is Rooney. However, for what they do, does it warrant millions of pounds worth of fortune. No.And what you say about Rooney, very much based on recent media revelations. So if the media revealed Radcliffe was doing similar things to Rooney, your opinion about him would more than likely change, very much so too.And why do you feel the need to say "but am just giving my opinion, which I am allowed to"? No one has said anything that would have a go at you for what you just said there. So why say you're just giving your opinion - we know. There's no need to try and make a deal out of something when there really is no need.

SAW: Alive
I think we can see Saw Alive slowly decrease in quality (as hard as that may be for some to believe ). The Entertainments Department will probably have other things they want to invest in as the years roll on by, especially if it's only a 'quick fix'.We may see one more room to represent Saw 3D, but that's unlikely in my eyes. Also, with that being the last Saw film, I can see the franchise it self becoming less popular, and that reflecting towards the attractions.

Ah sorry, my mistake Mr 9 150. Oh, whilst we're ranting about people too...People who just go on and on and on about the bad things in their lives. Seriously, get over it. Everyone is going through some form of a rough patch at the moment, stop being melodramatic.

In fairness, is anyone worth that much? The highest earner at Blackpool is on £10,000 a week and the club are doing fantastically well. Some would even argue that £10k is too much. And, whilst we're on the topic of celebrities and money, why is it footballers get all the stick? Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter in case you've lived in a cave for the past few years ) has a fortune of about £25 million for doing what - learning some lines and pretending to be a wizard. Yet very few people moan about that. Don't get me wrong, I'm not singling out Radcliffe, nor defending footballers, but is it fair that they get all the stick?

SAW: The Ride
The scariest thing about Saw was when I saw the SRQ had closed down...

Ride 11 - Vampire
It's a great attraction - the music is great, the theming is fabulous (I get a chill seeing the organist move still!) and, for what it is, the layout is very good too.But for some reason, the cynic inside me is saying I shouldn't say it's excellent?! Perhaps because it's aged a lot and is rather noisy and is getting rougher.I'd more say a 4.5/5, but I'm voting that it's excellent!
-
SAW: The Ride
I think a darker feel would have got across the abandoned theme to be honest.So you're saying Saw is now fart-proof. Excellent reasoning there!
-
SAW: The Ride
I really do think the natural light ruins what would be a near perfect station. Especially from where the cars re-enter; the building should have been longer there.
-
SAW: Alive
The Belle doesn't really have that much potential to be honest. It's restricted to one floor as a maze, unless you have basically no theming whatsoever, and probably requires more H&S check then most other buildings. It's great that Thorpe have done this and effectively used the Belle, but it doesn't really have as much potential as you may think.

At least you'll be going! Tickets have already sold out after about 3 days, despite the number of tickets being sold is no where near the capacity of the venue...(Then again, I wasn't actually going to bother going - but meh, loads of people are fuming.)

Mazes And Using A Wheelchair
I don't think H&S would allow it to be honest. Some areas are rather small and dark, and it could be deemed unsafe more towards to the actors more than anyone else to be honest.

Time Voyagers
I agree it's a terrible film, but it still draws people in and gives people a break. I think it's pretty pointless personally, but in every other aspect, it's just fine.

Is Alton Still Going To Be No.1 In 5 Years Time?
Very convenient that you say Thorpe only need what they are considering of getting to get the number one spot. To be honest, plonking new rides won't make any park great. They're only half the story. The experience is the other half. And if Thorpe continue with their bare thrill ideology, then they won't get to number one, no matter how good the new rides are...

Legoland
Personally, I think Paulton's is leaning towards Chessie and could well do so even more in the future. But that's just my take on it.
