  1. I don't see how Thorpe can be number 1 when it has a much narrower market. Also, you are doing something wrong when a lot of the people on here within in the target market for Thorpe prefer to go to Chessie or Alton.

    I don't see what positive outcome there could possibly by saying one artist sucks without any explanation. That's the reason why a Gaga topic was created in the first place.

    can a cover improve a song so much...
  5. Yeah that would have looked messy. Silver Star sort of gets away with it only being at the very top of the lift hill. Sadly that soundtrack wasn't played too loudly. I think Blue Fire's was my favourite, though that may be due to the amount of time I spent in the station in the single rider queue.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkriWmk6-rA&list=FLSyqRh3caaLI I think Euro Sat would beat WDW Space Mountain if the outside queue was more than just a cattlepen. The coaster experience is better and is much more disorientating. Paris Space Mountain would be my favourite if it didn't try to knock you out..The first ride on Poseidon, there were some pretty nasty jolts going up the lift hill the coaster section was quite rattley. The other rides only had minor bumps on a certain helix. Matterhorn Blitz didn't seem any worse than any other wild mouse for me. Maybe a bit faster on the turns. It went down a few times the second day I was there and didn't open on the third day so there were problems it seems. You could argue that Europa didn't want a complete all out thrill. Regarding the trims, I hardly felt them at all. All the trains flew through the MCBRThis weekend is pretty busy for me but here is a video of Blue Fire showing how quickly they batch the trains.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy0GxCB5oWs&list=UUEeULLmrlS_o
  6. Good luck getting on Takabisha with Fuji Q's reputation for reliability and throughput/queues. Also, if Saw is anything to go by, some of the elements could really hurt. It looks good though from the POV. Isn't it Darien Lake?

  8. I have a photo of the ERT, beat that! I know it changes around a bit though seeing as Phill's in May were different.Basically did log flume, mine train a few times, Atlantica a few times and then Blue Fire for opening.All the photos are on Facebook but the quality leaves a bit to be desired http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2110007985409.125863.1101890385 Just tell me if there any you want in high res in particular.
  9. I just got back from Europa Park last night. This is going to be a trip report as it will probably end up turning into a rant at my dad's dismissal of the entire park but I will be reviewing the rides, Hotel Colosseo and the park as a whole.I also want to test how well my photos come up so prepare for high res spam.Hotel ColosseoCan't think of a single fault here. Beautifully themed (the fountain shows in the centre are brilliant), 5 min walk to a hotel guest only entrance to the park, great food, friendly staff who nearly all speak German, French and English and even though we were told it was fully booked out, it never felt overcrowded.All the on-site hotels give you access to ERT before the park opens (and some rides after closing on certain days), a separate entrance which is the opposite side of the park (very close to where Blue Fire is and Mythos will be next year!) to the main entrance and offer evening tickets for the park which is good if you want to go in on the day you arrive. Blue FireA launched coaster that has a good length, an original theme, lap bars, headchoppers, an astronomical throughput with very efficient batching and a single rider queue that actually works without holding up the batching and is both intense and smooth? So, so, so, so much better than Rita, Stealth, Rock 'N' Rollercoaster or any other launcher I have been on. The queue is very cool, winding through a misty area with jumping fountains, a museum with 360 degree screens and then finally back up outside through rock work in between the back run and the launch track.Due to it's crazy throughput, there is always 1 train launching before the one before has hit the final break run so you always have something to watch. There is also a path for non-riders which also goes through the museum and then splits off going through the centre of the ride which is very cool. Silver StarI had heard a lot of people saying that this ride was pretty 'meh'. They must have not got a back row ride then. At the back you will barely touch your seat. The amount of airtime you can get is ridiculous. There was a front row queue but it was always coming out of its extension so I never tried it. Technically, this is a car park coaster but it works. It's sponsored by Mercedes and its queueline winds around TV screens and exhibits showcasing cars and there are counting down lights in the station (think Rita and Stealth) and a photo finish. Also, unless you queue for the front row queue, you never go outside the building before boading so don't see the ride at all. Euro MirOne of the most random but also fun coasters I have been on. It consists of techno music, UV paint, strobes, astronauts, spinning, a spiralling lift hill and some really forceful helixes outside. Euro SatThe closest comparison to this is Space Mountain inside the Epcot ball. I don't understand German well enough to understand why there was an astronaut who looked like the Terminator. Very forceful and jerky in parts especially at the back but featured a great techno track with lasers.Matterhorn Blitz Best themed wild mouse I have been on. The queue winds its way around the track and log cabins filled with animatronics. The lift hill is also replaced with an elevator which has a few surprises.PoseidonStunningly themed queue. Probably the best one in the entire park. It's therefore slightly strangely designed ride in contrast. The coaster section is before the more traditional drop. I would have thought it be more dramatic to have a normal drop and then the rollercoaster section inside or at least hidden from view so that guests do not know what is coming. Oh well, still a very fun ride, especially the helix going under the queue and then into the water. All the photos are on FacebookI just tried to put the photos in spoilers to make it a bit more readable, however the photos no longer automatically resize. Will fix soon!

    I saw them last night for free and the amount of auto tuning, backups, blatant song stealing, etc was pathetic. Also, the sound mixing by the organisers was pretty bad but that's not the Peas fault as complaints have risen from other days of Hyde Park as well. It got into so bad it's good territory. I think I would have rather paid to have seen the wonderful Arcade Fire or The Chemical Brothers the nights before and after respectively. Also David Guetta fans are one of the worst crowds I have been in for a set.Speaking of Arcade Fire, the short movie Scenes From The Suburbs is finally out.
  11. Deadmau5 is capable of running his own 1 day festival, it's not going to happen.
  12. One of my friends works at a nightclub and says that under 18 nights are by far the worst to work. People just get drunk before going. Fright nights is normally bleeding guests from the gate way before closing at 10. Plus, getting the 950/ train if you stay until the end will not be fun. Bringing back Thorpe Blast or even just the old disco music on the rides seems like a better idea.
  13. Last rides of the day, the OPs quite often pick more intense settings.
  14. Yeah it was fun despite the crowds and weather with little shade in most queues.
  15. I thought that was the plan anyway?
  16. Here is a video of the Expedition Everest Queue for those who have not been through it. Notice how the people can barely keep up with how fast the queue moves while being distracted by the themeing.http://youtu.be/0T6IlowUB-I
