  1. My first thought was Floorless. However, never really paid any close attention to the Mega track honestly.From what we know about X Raptor and the released concept art, I think the track is too small for that too. Then again, I could easily be wrong..
  2. I can see it already.."New 4 2013! Try out our INSANE bins with added ash trays! Can u handle the WICKED task that lies ahead?!"
  3. I had a nosey at these photos on FB earlier. :PReally did seem like an awesome day! . (But no Lorikeets!? )And I do agree the staff there are amazing this season. Friendly, funny and helpful.
  4. I cannot believe I actually laughed quite loudly at that!They're chessey and all that, yes, but they are brilliant!
  5. Ooh, very interesting. Can't wait to sees.

    Ah right, must've missed that. Ta

    Though you were actually at the event; I've heard it could be either. I'd always assumed 2014 to be more likely as AT usually did SWs on a 4 year thing, but that of course could've changed.
  8. Ah right. Personally, I think it is explain to a good enough standard but, as you said, the maze itself just lets the story down.
  9. I think that is probably what they tried, yes, but I think the execution was very poor. That is probably the best back story you can get for it. The SWAT room of the maze does really give the back story, albeit a weak one.
  10. Brings back out of sheer boredom...
  11. Very true. Just a case of damned if they do, damned if they don't I s'pose.
  12. Hmm, strange. Every time I've visited, it's been on time, give or take a minute. The earliest I've seen the park opened this season is about 9:25. Strange.
  13. I disagree with this. It just annoys people more. For example, Chessie opens its gate at 9:30, but practically all rides don't open till 10. And the amount of people I've heard saying "What's the point in opening the park but not the rides" is uncountable...

    I do agree. To be honest, when Ricky pointed it out, I did realise it, but it was only then that I did. Then again, I very rarely bother Tidal Wave, but that's no excuse. You also say how 2 people notice how the Tidal Wave sign was fixed. As far as I'm aware, no one has mentioned about the removal of the Sea Snakes and Ladders (or whatever it was called) play area by Depth Charge, or the extra paving CC side if the Slammer toilets..
  15. Good luck Gemma. :DBy the way, anyone know why GCSE result day has been moved to Tuesday?
  16. My school being my school didn't bother to open for our results, what with only about 12 people collecting results. I wouldn't have got them anyway; only got back home at about 5ish. :DWhether I'll get them on Tuesday or in the post is a different matter...
  17. Well come on people, share.
  18. There aren't many back stories, or even front stories, to the rides to be honest. Even Saw's in unclear. One moment we're police officers, then thrill hunters, then test subjects...Inferno hasn't really had one, but the closest you can device from the park's marketing is how you are riding a Volcano. Personally, I like to make my own little back story to Inferno; the eruption of 2000 caused a monster to awaken inside the Volcano - and you must 'feel the heat' of both the monster and volcano to tame it.Tidal Wave. Do I need to explain that one. X:\WTF. The above is the easiest way to put it, but it isn't really that in some ways now. That's it really.
  19. JoshC. replied to Dan_Rush's topic in General Discussion
    Remember 2006 and 2007. They were hammering Stealth in. That means, if we were to follow your theory, Nemesis Inferno and Colossus were the 'what' rides of then, and they're even worse now?Nu-uh.
  20. Thorpe doing a special offer for Bounceback...£1 for tomorrow, £10 for any day, £12 for FN.Chessie I think is £5 for tomorrow and £12 for any time, though not sure...

  22. JoshC. replied to Adam J's topic in General Discussion
    Never got that before to be honest. :blink:Get the head bashing, but that's it really. Little roughness on Saw, no leg cramp on this, maybe I'm lucky? Or just very strange...
  23. I agree Ian with everything you said, but... I'm wasn't trying to be rude or anything, but I get frustrated in general how this forum seems to be the only place where I can never get across what I mean, yet on every other forum now, and in person, I seem to get what I say across just fine. As I said, I agree with Ian, and just think this should be dropped. I gave me feedback appropriately, and it was discussed.
  24. Gate figure for today was around the 6000 mark today at 1 o'clock. Was higher in the morning, but the rain drowned people out.Queue times and such to follow in a TR this evening.
  25. *sigh*I dunno what it is with this place, but on here I never seem able to say what I mean...I'd write the articles in such a way that the GP could gain the basics, but the majority of the articles is the meaty stuff that fans would be interested in. That way, the GP get what they want, have the oppotunity to become a fan and fans get what they want from a fan site. No snobbery or elitism involved.And at no point did I say and 'Enthusiat only' site. A site that would aim towards fans, but still give GP info.And Marc, I think you don't offer that, as do others I've spoken to, but you think you do. I guess that's where a lot of this has boiled from..
