My photo challenge!
Got some great ideas for future weeks ( with the help of a certain someone ) to hopefully get lots more people involved :(Also guys , if there is a particular challenge you think would be awesome or if you've got a picture you think is great and you wan't a challenge to enter it in, don't hesitate to put forward your idea and it's likely, it will be used in one way or another

My photo challenge!
Due to the low number of entries, yes, but I don't think usually it would Wait and see what next week's challenge is

Legoland
I can't say I'm surprised , the past year it's run with covers on to reduce noise which made the already bad capacity even worse. To be honest they must've realised that there really isn't any point in keeping it when they have, for a while, had to run a system similar the the free fastrack that used to operate, just to get on it.

My photo challenge!
Ah ok , I was considering stopping doing this for a few weeks or so, but it turns out you guys just don't have a picture that fits the "criteria" :(It's getting hard to think of challenges that many people could enter

Alton Towers General Discussion
I don't remember finding it rough, but very wild. Also when I was there, a couple of times I think people fell off there dinghy and they had to stop the slide for a bit.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Especcially the inside lift!

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
It's been years since I've been on it , but it's just such an amazing ride, and I agree with Paul it's one of my favourites. :PBrilliant ride length, stunning theming and a Huge capacity it just has everything . On this ride IMO you actually feel like your on a Runaway Mine Train and your physically transported into another world the only way Disney know how

Terra Mitica
No problem ,I hope you have a brilliant time , I have whenever I've been there
-
Rush
Are the seats on Rush the same ones as when it opened? Or have they ever been completely replaced/ repainted ?
-
Terra Mitica
Well every thing's in Spanish so it's a bit hard to understand :PBut I think the jist I got is that you have defeated everything else and now you have to defeat the minotaur :)I may be completely off the button though
-
Terra Mitica
Well to be honest I doubt you'll be doing much queing in the daytime anyway :huh:It's never very busy even in the height of summer, and I've heard it's not doing very well at all financially so it must be getting even quieter. Oh there's also a good rapids if I remember correctly, as well as an SLC, and one of those Intamin Zacspin coasters.As well as this shooting ride, sort of like Duel, but when you get to the end , if you scored high enough , you are treated to a special ending

My photo challenge!
Need more votes everyone :huh:

Terra Mitica
Yea I've been there a few times, and I'm going in a few weeks :huh:A few tips.Check what time ride close is, and what I usually do is get the evening ticket which is cheaper, and go until 10, it's a lot quieter and cooler. Magnus Colossus is extremely bumpy and vibrates alot so prepare yourself The Log flume is awesome ( Catarats del Nilo)If you ever went on the legendary Boneshaker at Alton Towers, there's one of them There is an Intamin Drop Tower which is awesome As well as a brilliant big splash boat ride.Overall I think Terra Mitica is a well themed park, with a decent selection of rides

Which Ride Do You Most Want To Go On?
I would love to go on the likes of El Toro , Balder, Boulder Dash and The Voyage.Too me they all look stunning , and with the lack of wooden coaster in this country , I would love to try them. :huh:Aswell as the obvious, X2, Millenium Force, H:RRR ( should be riding that next year ) etc

Alton Towers General Discussion
Definately :huh:It's up there with even many of the ones I've been on in America!

Alton Towers General Discussion
I love the waterpark :huh:Master Blaster is awesome
-
Colossus
I know so many people who find Colossus rough. But I've been riding it for years and not once had a rough ride anywhere I've sat.It is in my opinion though an absolutely amazing ride in the front row, Better than any at Thorpe and only behind Nemesis in the UK. :huh:I think it's a top 10 ride if you sit anywhere but easily a top 5 ride at the front.

Maverick
It looks sensational and I'm really hoping Alton Towers' SW6 will be a similar ride
-
My photo challenge!
Just a couple of hours left for you to get entries in for this weeks challenge. ( 1 is the closing time for this week )I would just like to apologise for not being here this week and with the 2 challenges, I am hoping those things are the reason for the few entries this week I am running out of ideas for challenges though :PThanks very much to all who have entered and hopefully we'll still get a good amount of votes

The Blue Barnacle (Previously Black Buccaneer)
Ah thanks very much, but why was the old style of loading removed and surely this new style just causes a scramble for the back rows?Edit: Thinking about it , it's the same as The Blade's loading, and that works so I don't really see what I was talking about , thanks anyway

Your Thorpe Park
I love your idea's about Rush, especially the SRQ, But, if you look at reviews for Topple Towers, you will find that they are better to look at than to ride and are quite boring.Also, IMO , I don't see the appeal for a floorless coaster whatsoever. I am guessing most of you haven't ridden one of them and I can see why you would want one , but really unless your in the front row and stare down the whole ride, it's just a B&M version of Colossus. The same with Stand-ups, Looking at reviews for them , you can see the majority of them aren't great and that a much better addition could be made.Also, I think Depth Charge's time is up and has been for a few years now.
