Legoland
No, the SeaLife part was great , I meant making it a "ride" would've thought it'd be better left as a walk-through attraction and making the ride run a transit system was the possible un-needed cost. Don't see what is gained by it being a ride. Still should be awesome though
-
Legoland
Sounds interesting, next to the lake and going to replace the Dino Dipper Attraction although it is planned to be re-located. Also, personally I feel that an aquarium is something that'd be no different walking through as riding through. Seems like an un-needed cost that could be put towards another new attraction.

Hidden Chessington

Good to hear somewhere else who really likes the ride. To be honest yesterday I was talking to some chav "friends" of mine who had been on it and they absolutely loved it, thought it was the best ride in the park. These are those "general" people who visit the park once every year/2 years and they honestly thought it was amazing. Really shows that whilst not being the scariest or most intense ride, even those looking for a huge thrill love the ride. It really does appeal and give a great ride to everyone.

Stealth
When was the last time Stealth's live DJ was used? Does anyone have video's of it? And do we reckon it could and/or should come back ?

Europa Park 18/05/10 - 21/05/10
Absolutely fantastic report and you really do see what is wrong with UK parks when you see things like that, the theming, the care in all parts of the attractions, capacity, and of course no guests without common sense!Europa has for a while been one of the parks I HAVE to visit and every TR I see makes me want to go more and more

SAW: The Ride
See I think they still could have had the inversions possibly not the drop though otherwise a huge building would have been needed. And like you say, a ride on the scale of RotM is always going to be out of the question, but a compact indoor coaster carrying on the feel of the current beginning section would have been possible. And yes whilst the building itself would have cost more, the actual coaster itself wouldn't have been as much I assume ) There wouldn't have been the same roughness as it would have been more smaller, tighter, surprise elements taken at a lower speed rather than the coaster we have now. But I also think that with Saw, it's success and what has drawn people to it has had very little to do with it being a coaster, it's more that there is a ride based on the Saw franchise which appeals to Thorpe's target audience and that is why I think even if it had been a "ghost train" type coaster it would have had to same pulling power even with different aspects of it to market.Just my opinion and how I think Saw could have fulfilled it's potential
