I can see them adding some sort of mist jet in the gaps they have in that billboard, I wonder if it's something they'll do?!

That is going to be epic heading towards that!

It even made it onto the Sun's website http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4815822/Workers-carry-out-safety-checks-on-UKs-highest-rollercoaster.html

Completed the game now, loved it, especially when you scan the cover photo Towers have on their facebook page, it brings the image to life! Also if you do an alton towers logo image that has the black and yellow stripes behind it it brings it to life! Love that new pic aswell!

I think the majority of people that a pre booking won't be at school at that time, I think that it's a good time to do it, means people don't have to get up early for it or stay up late!

Yes and I am friends with one of the members who was part of the team that was on that day when it got stuck, he told me that that rope was put in place as it's much cheaper than hiring a crane, and like Benin said, it doesn't take that much to push it!

I believe the reason why that zipwire will remain there is because it's alot cheaper for someone to climb up it and give Stealth a push if it gets stuck at the top again, cheaper than hiring a crane out to give it a little push at least!

Bilboard is going well...

Oh how I wish it would be like Templo del Feugo!

So Zufari is down on the Chessington website to be opening on the 20th March 2013. Here's the picture on the website: Do you reckon it will open before this date on the annual pass preview days? Could this date be the one for the website as it will be the first time the general public will get to go on it rather than advertise it being open for Passholder day?

It sounds a terrible line up... the only decent ones on there are Rizzle Kicks.

Looking forward to hearing the new updates in the coming days

Just a new video on the Thrill Nation page, It's basically a quick video gearing up for Thorpe Park opening day Have a watch and see what you think!

Could this be a hydraulic tank meaning that the "marmaliser" will move?

I actually really like this, I can't wait to see what it'll be like when riding it either, should be great for photo's aswell

It's a brake run isn't it? Rage at Adventure island has one the same

It's comfier than a lot of other coasters! Don't see what's wrong with it at all? Plenty of room in those seats!

Ok ta! Couldn't remember if they had it last year... I doubt they will have it, the website is a bit vague with it!

Quick query really... is ERT open during Feb half term?

Hopefully they start building more rather than taking pictures all the time haha

Just seen an advert for Towers on Discovery, it's basically the other one that was posted before but they've added The Smiler into it and got the eyes spinning, looked pretty good!

The story you probably heard was something about them considering going on the New York Stock market if I can remember

Hi Em! Last year on opening it seemed pretty dead! The biggest queue on opening was the annual pass queue and there were hardly any people in the normal queue, Swarm was dead for pretty much most of the day as were the other rides, until about 3pm when the schools finished and they started coming to the park! I'm hoping for the same again this year as it provided plenty of rides! Enjoy your day

Check out new pics of the the "Staffordshire Knot" in the construction gallery on the website : http://www.the-smiler.com/the-ride/

So far I've got: Alton towers - 18th Feb, opening day and then whenever! Thorpe Park - 14th March, then regular weekends Chessie - AP Weekend and then when I feel up for it Drayton Manor - Probably once or twice BPB - Trying to plan 2 trips up there Fantasy Island - Going to have a day there PortAventura - Got a week booked in June and will then probably go for a Noches Blancas weekend if they run one!
