    How do you know that it definitely won't be painted green, it's more likely than any other colours.And prices may be lowered, but Rita's was lowered substantially more.
  2. James6 replied to Sheepie's topic in UK Attractions
    It is more likely than not that it is going to be re-themed/ re-branded.Rita merchandise had been at very low prices for the last half of the season
  3. I think that is just left from a couple of years ago.It used to be like that but I guess it changed as literally noone is prepared to pay for a map.I would be surprised if you do have to pay for a map next year.
  4. I agree , But also, at Chessington there isn't as many obvious changes for Halloween I don't think, like at Alton all the mazes and extra Halloween attractions are on there.
  5. I agree with Paul, I think for a park the scale of Alton a map is needed, at least for infrequent visitors. As for example you can't actually see the rides and then walk to them. Also there's not a particular route to go through, for example Chessington and Thorpe have a sort of circular shape which you can make your way around.

    He felt he would have struggled to find the time to start and then end the quiz this week.Answers, and scores will be released Sunday ( Tomorrow) Afternoon

    Are you joking?

    I'm sure what you have to say is quite interesting, but I physically can't understand what you've typed...I suggest you read the " Tips for New members" Forum as well as, of course, the forums rules....
  9. No it's for next year, when they are releasing 2 types of Merlin Annual Pass I loved having a sort of unlimited ticket to loads of Attractions and ugh, it's just so annoying. Till now I've sort of understood a lot of Merlin's Money grabbing things, but this is just... I can't even explain!
  10. A Merlin Park in Italy

    This week I'll be helping Matty22 with the quiz :oSo therefore I won't be able to enter this week, which means I'm going to get behind on points! :)Here are this weeks questions.1)When was the park bought by Tussauds?2)Name 6 of the 7 rides in Octopus Garden ?3)Name the 8 rides (not including Octopus Garden) which do not have Onride photos? 4)What piece of Samurai is still at Chessington?5) And where is it found?Good Luck, and if you have any questions, I'll have a go at answering them :)This Weeks quiz will as usual close on Sunday afternoon.
  12. I used to have Guinea Pigs when I was younger, and then I had a few fish, but so many died I ran out of names, I think the last one I had was imaginatively named number sixteen.
  13. Thanks for the update :)I really am so excited for this area, and for the whole of 2010, the re-launch is going to be amazing
  14. What!? <_<I must say I feel completely the opposite, and I think that all of Chessington's food that I've ever had, has been delicous...
  15. The planning application to rebuild the Skyride station in Cloud Cuckoo Land has now been submitted. It's in the same style before, which to be honest I'm quite happy about.
  16. To be honest, even with great people, I struggle to enjoy Thorpe anymore...Chessington all the way
  17. You can't be talking about the same place I am...I think it is delicous to be honest, and much MUCH better than most theme park's food...
  18. Yeah, this was a great listen, and like you Sheepie, I've listened to it more than once! :DI also believe, that the way he talks about the "New" B&M, that it is destined for the Towers, or at least a Merlin Park.What could it be... :DPossibly a Sit Down Version of Vampire, if you get what I mean. <_<Where, the seats sort of rock, a combination of a 4D coaster, and swinging coaster. I wish I was good enough with paint, so I could explain through a diagram.
  19. Oh, I expect that would be awesome. Probably similar to the Run Chessington thing I did, but for a whole week/ 2 weeks.I'm on my Work Experience at the moment, at the MK Dons Football Club.The office work is diabolical and I just do the jobs no-one else will do, but the coaching part of it is great <_<Really wish I could have done it at Chessington/ Legoland though.Make sure you let us know how you get on
  20. Well Done, I'm very jealous ;)But surely you should have thought of transport first ?Edit: What are you doing at Legoland ?
  21. James6 replied to Matty22's topic in Nonsense
    Edit: Also, I think more quizzes a week is only a good thing. People will end up remembering about it, and also it means it is easier for people to catch up.
  22. It won't have been sped up...It does feel faster in the dark though, So I can see why you may have thought that.
  23. That was pretty good :(I got 21 , but should have had 22.I typed in Mr Monkeys Banana Boat! Instead of RideEdit: There is an Alton Towers one Alton Towers Quiz29/34 for me
