The Hour of the Bewilderbeast was one of the first albums I bought I think. Pulp are amazing live. Jarvis Cocker is a great frontman. I seem to have a habit of associating songs with negative times which just results in less desire to listen them. Rather annoying.

What; accidental irony?. Anyway, fair enough if they are negative but I don't see any problem with neutral stuff. This is done everywhere, including this forum. It's just easier to see everything not posted from an official source as speculation. The people who have the facts won't risk their jobs telling us.

I don't really understand why people are picking on this site in particular. There are dozens of other sites like this, yet there has been no previous negativity towards them. Pointless maybe but people may enjoy running them.

Good luck trying to cover the entire park in a trip report! Blue Fire is indeed a great ride and I really do hope that more parks start to value the fun of Mack launchers. The last inversion is just insane with that type restraint. I think the sponsorship is pretty hilarious: "COOKING WITH NATURAL GAS".

The bands and artists that go on to become something are the ones that actually go out and actually play some damn shows rather than causing gossip. Go to a local festival or £5 local band night at an O2 Academy. In the words of LCD Soundsystem, "shut up and play the hits".

Yep it works, thanks!

Any chance the imgur image extension can be allowed on the forums? I find it the easiest site to upload photos onto.

Going to disagree here. Firstly, I think this maze's 'trick' will be completely lost after the initial time through because it's no longer shocking. The only way I can see this changing is if the actors get more intense which at a big park at Thorpe has a limit. Also, on peak days, which is basically every day of Fright Nights, the groups are just far too big (although we did find a comedy act 'lad' losing it last year in Experiment 10 which was entertaining). To be honest I think this is the main downfall of the event as a whole. They haven't managed to get a big successful show to eat crowds off the ground and mazes either have big groups or massive queues. This is just going to be compounded by rides either broken or taken out of the lineup this year. And yeah one less free maze. I don't think they will risk any separate ticketed event of a large sum. I think they would rather pack the park and upsell stuff. The £5 AP charge seemed to cut crowds quite a bit simply as a deterrent for locals I guess. True, night rides plus mazes is nigh impossible without some sort of fast track.

Thinking about it, Towers can get away with charging for some of its mazes (even if it is a pretty high price) because it's a family park and there is no extra cost for Halloween (though I guess you can't use BOGOFs?). Thorpe having an entry fee and a maze fee means that this maze had better be pretty amazing. Experiment 10 fell down on busy days because of the amount of people in each group.

The description seems to give away quite a bit. I can see why it's upcharge now as the throughput is probably going to be low.

'MERICA. It looks like it was angled away from anything else though at least. In other news, Cedar Point is the number 1 theme park in the world and Millennium Force is the number 1 steel coaster in the world according to the Golden Ticket awards. Go, go Cedar Fair fanboys!

Doesn't even make sense because it won't be dusk at 4 in the early days of the event (I think).

9pm closing along with FN only happening on peak days and Thorpe Blast being scrapped means that it's going to be difficult to get a day which is both reasonably quiet and has a decent amount of time in the dark. If you want to get all the mazes done and have time for night rides, I'd suggest queuing for Ayslum or Experiment 10 well before they open and then moving over the other one immediately. I really hope the mazes open earlier this year to compensate for the earlier closing.

RIP lionman who got stuck in the fridge. You will forever be remembered with Hellgate's "Don't touch my baby!" woman.

I cannot handle the cyclonic forces of Rock Rage.

Well this is a shame. Thorpe Blast (better name) was the best day on park last season for me. Hopefully this means Fright Nights gets a bigger budget for some themeing outside of mazes.

I think this looks way more promising. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMX166sWPjM

It's a cool idea but the whole backwards launch thing is not what Magic Mountain needs at all. They just changed Superman to launch backwards at higher speeds. More importantly though, this park does not need another big coaster with a potentially low throughput.

Happy Birthday Ryan! Enjoy the rest of Reading!

Guys I've worked it out. Curse is going to Towers because there's a cursed tree. It all makes sense now.

Anyone up for explaining this to someone who doesn't follow Football at all?

Calling you out on this one. Things don't get resolved by having a go at 'anonymous' people in the Rant topic, especially other members. This has happened before and it just descends into madness.

I don't think a low capacity coaster is a good idea. And I think I remember someone saying at some point that Zacspins are family rides. They really are not, at all.

It's interesting because I'd rather people say something to me in person than just talking about about it behind my back. Then again, in this case it was just an unfounded comment.
