Does anyone have any info about this "Adventure Service for families" ? I don't remember it from last year

^ I like a newly styled map as much as the next person but even so I really do like this map.I would still like to see actual ride logo's of some of the major rides though

Ah that map is great, particularly love how the distinct areas are back :(Also, new names for each entrance. "Explorer and Lodge"And that African Savannah experience looks great

Lol this page has given me a good few chuckles

Don't worry Keith, there's still like 3 weeks to go, she'll be fine

I think they are sort of showing it in reverse order, like what has happened to someone who's been on the ride, and then what happens on the ride etc. Whatever there doing it's pretty awesome

Dragons Fury isn't technically in Land of Dragons, well the station isn't at least

^ Same :PI find it absolutely hilarious when people around me talk about the rides and I know it's not true. For example someone told me the other day Rita is quicker than Stealth and they just wouldn't back down, I just sat there with a smug little grin :DPersonally I would say I'm more obsessed with Theme Parks in general to be honest although in particular Chessington and Alton. Whilst I am interested in Thorpe I prefer the other 2.

Personally I think it's more the snows fault, as the ride was built in Europe somewhere before being sent to England. Sadly snow is unavoidable... a few years ago I actually quite liked snow.

Hmmm on my next trip to Chessington I really need to actually go IN to the Land of The Dragons

If the ride wasn't planned to be moved/ removed within the next few years, I'd be a lot more bothered by this. Also had they not been building what looks like an unbelieveable coaster in the same year, I would also have been bothered. But yeah IMO this sponsorship deal will last just a few years...

Just saw one on E4, they are very spooky :s

Ah I love the one of Dragon's Fury. Where was that taken from? I assume one of the play area's in Land of The Dragons?

I personally love the ride.I think one of the reasons is because of it's size, for a flat ride it is huge. Also I think it's the fact that I doubt the majority of visitors have seen one before as if I am correct there are only 2 in the world.

It really does annoy me because Quantum was just incredible, it's still good just not anywhere near as good as it used to be.

I am also going next year, everytime I see pictures of this project I think it can't get better but then, it does...

You definately missed out on Nemesis, best ride in the UK :PBut yeah, where've you heard the queueing is "horrifying" ? If you can handle Thorpe's queues then at Alton you won't even feel like your queueing... :POblivion is awesome though

Awesome topic Here are a few of mine....I've tried to only choose ones which haven't already been uploaded Crappy picture but I love this bit of theming in Rattlesnake's queue.

We were going to have a new one yesterday however, due to me and being very ill last night , it will wait until next week

I have heard it is, I wonder if it will be of the same design or something different. Either way I agree with you electricBrill that I hope the ride experience itself doesn't change.

Where did you sit ?Because anywhere near either end and there is some awesome airtime

Ok, thats good , Thanks guys :DAnd JoshC any ideas are appreciated, that goes for everyone by the way

Hmm good point :DIt is difficult coming up with those creative ones whilst also making sure there not "samey." Hence why the odd easy single photo competiton is thrown in.But yeah, thanks.Anyone else got any opinions?

Ah thanks Even though I can't go because it's on a Sunday

Just going to announce AeRo and Treeis joint winners this week without even doing the voting. :DJust a bit of research :DThose who have never entered, what could be done to encourage you to do so?And those who have entered, what could be done for you to enter more regularly?Thanks
