    Slammer

    It was operating at least during this summer as I went on it. It does suffer from a lot of problems though I am guessing; loads of people who were surprised it was running.
  3. I wouldn't mind being called a goon as it has a humorous side. Most annoying is stepping over the line in my eyes though. I know it wouldn't be serious but it doesn't change the fact that the mods feel you are basically a bad member. (Not intending to start argument.)
  4. The comments on that article made me facepalm multiple times...
  5. I don't think there should be any negative awards, will create the wrong type of atmosphere.Also some rewards based around the meetups of the year could be good such as Funniest Member and Most Helpful/Welcoming/Friendly Member.

    Saturday was an amazing night. Even Guiding Light was acceptable.

    The lion prowls in NWO and Ryan gets hit in the face with sweets. Good times.
  9. The bird masks were probably the gas mask guys. The masks just weren't clear enough in the dark though. And a lot of actors touched me, including grabbing, clawing, stroking and even sticking their finger in my ear Yeah Mikey we only got one on one time with the ticket guy at the start.

    If you gave me more notice, I could have gone
  11. Foreword:I don't normally do Trip Reports but this one is a little special because the chances are that this maze will never be repeated again. Still, I am going to keep this short and sweet unless interest arises for extra detail, eg a written walkthrough. Tom Spindler - 13th Seance's creator - has become renowned in the scare attraction industry for making horror mazes that are incredibly detailed and going beyond what most mainstream attractions will do to be scary. While waiting outside on the aptly named Crucifix lane, our group of 5 TPM members had no clue what to expect.Memorable Scenes:Both the detail and the single actor wrapped in sewn up cloths, sitting at the table and beckoning us forward in the small first room were amazing. He slowly reached out for our tickets, examined them and put them inside his intricate moneybox. He then stood and cracked open the door to a near pitch black corridor which seemed to go on for miles, slamming it shut behind us. This actor needs to be commended, he managed to create a huge amount of tension and scare us without uttering a single noise and moving incredibly slowly.There is a moment in the heart of the maze where you turn a corner and have to look directly into a very strong strobe light which completely disorientated me. An actor suddenly lashed out at me, gnashing her teeth by my ear while trying to drag me back into her corner.The Good:1. The Asylum style parts were done very well. At points I felt completely lost and having barriers overhead as well made it very claustrophobic. There was also loads of blind points so the actors had great hiding places. There were even parts were the barriers had been removed and just the black cloth remained, meaning they could run through.2. The amount of tension built up was amazing.3. Having a maximum group size of 3 and not having to go in a conga line.The Bad1. Having nearly the entire maze in darkness seemed to be an excuse to not bother to theme most of it. The theme of a seance went completely out of the window after the first room. How a girl in a gasmask has anything to do with it, I don't know... For someone who has created great set pieces in the past, this was a huge let down. To add to this, there was only one actor who didn't have a generic costume, who was the actor in the first room. I would have thought for £8 per a person (£2 more than his last maze, Masks which got rave reviews), there would have been really good themeing. Once again, bar the first actor, none of the actors seemed to have been given scripting past the generic shouting, growling, etc which they had in previous mazes.2. Most of our group were more scared about what could happen rather than what did happen; we were expecting the worst but it never happened. There was absolutely no set piece for the end, just walking into the bar.3. This one really took the cake. The maze was 10 minutes, half the advertised time. How anyone could have thought it would last 20 minutes, I don't know.4. We had to sign a form before going in basically saying that we couldn't sue Tom Spindler for anything that happened inside. While I don't really mind this, it seemed to be used more as an excuse to not bother sorting out the steps in the building. There was one moment when I fell down about 3 steps and up another 2 in the pitch black. If it wasn't for Ellie then I probably would have smacked my head on the floor.5. While having small groups is a good idea, it's a bit stupid for an actor to lock us in a room for under 10 seconds with the lights on, with another group. Also, because he didn't lock up the group behind, we were now in a group of 8 and the later actors made little attempt to separate us.Conclusion:Overall, I did find this maze scary at points so I guess it did its job but it seemed as if it was a shadow of Tom Spindler's previous mazes. Hopefully the next one he will be back on form.The Disclaimer:
  12. I went to the LA Universal and I know ET was demolished for space and so was Jimmy Neutron I think.. They had Backdraft instead of Twister which is supposed to be similar and yes I enjoyed it more.
  13. There is a difference between the two companies. Six Flags used to be owned by Time Warner who had the rights to all of franchises (I think) they used in the parks so used them a lot.Merlin in contrast doesn't own Sonic, Saw or Shrek so is having to make deals which sometimes feel very lazy and out of place. The sonic retheme springs to mind...Anyway, if Alton does get a complete copy of the Universal movie I won't be too impressed as I thought it was the weakest attraction there. The pre show however was pretty awesome.

  17. This is why we can't have nice things
  18. Did you go on Corkscrew during its last few years of operation
  19. Ah I see. If I knew the ride photos were going to be so good, I would have got a Photopass, which is about £12 now with an AP discount right?
  20. Ah if I knew you could get the photos cheaper online, I would have happily paid £2 each for the Colossus and Stealth ones!
  21. Amazing meet and Ian's organisation was great! Over 7 hours with everyone together from 2pm and managed to do all the mazes and some night rides. I am looking forward to seeing the photos as I didn't get to see many on the day.

    SAW: Alive

    I agree with Benin. IGN has an exclusive clip up now of one of the traps looks like an inflatable doll being ripped apart and of course, the body parts fly towards the screen. Then again, I enjoyed The Final Destination because it got into the 'so bad it's good' region.
  23. Someone has been watching Salad Fingers
  24. I knew that but I meant having dedicated windows for buying on the day.
