See them in Old Town replacing Loggers soon

I've grown to love Inferno too. It looks particularly good after a bit of TLC over closed season when they make sure mist, red lights, coloured wood chips etc. are all present and correct <3

I'm taking none of this as fact - even the facts - until Jart appears.

My mate is in a bluegrass band... so naturally asked these guys if they'd do a song whilst we were waiting for the haunts to open last year

She songwrites in her spare time (she's always been a musician) - at present it's not enough to be her full time job though! This is the first "big" cut she's had. And the trouble is, money for songs takes a long time to filter through - and when pitching for artists, things can change/fall through right at the last minute. She was down to the last 2 for a massive soft-drink ad campaign for example, and then they switched at the last second. It's a bit of a rollercoaster, if you pardon the pun... It's been confirmed yesterday that a song she co-wrote is going to be used as the end theme to the new series of Gundum Build Fighters (first episode airs 04/08)

Fun times at AT today. Galactica and Enterprise currently closed... Rita 130 mins, Smiler 120 mins, Nemesis 120 mins, Thirteen 90 mins, Spinball 90 mins, Oblivion 70 mins, Mine Train 50 mins. Choo choo!

Can't see them using the Sunken Gardens as a queue line - they'd get completely trashed

Can I have a little brag please? My super talented other half (now wife, to be exact but that makes me sound super old) - Becky Jerams - has a track she co-wrote on the K-Pop act Red Velvet's "The Red Summer" mini album. The album is currently #1 on the Billboard World chart, and the track itself "You Better Know" - which isn't even the title track - has has 1.5 million streams, 84,000 sales and charted at #14 in Korea I know we have some K-Pop fans amongst us so hope you don't mind me sharing.... those figures obviously don't include Youtube streams/usage above so we are super excited. Just a shame it takes a good a year or so for the first royalties to come through!

One of my posts on Facebook recently got as many as 20 likes so I await my invitation to this year's press night.

Yep it has to be a big coaster really - probably another woody to match AT's, they like to buy their coasters in bulk

I'll have that Twitter user know that the smell of rubbish is all part of the abandoned themeing in various areas of the park.

Anyone know when the IP runs out for IACGMOOH? Reduced operating hours surely means the beginning of the end, if it hasn't been said already.

Assume Slammer is still sitting there untouched, complete with pigeon nest, currently? #Rip2ndBae

SW8 gives me a reason to visit Towers next year, that's already agreed between my friends and I - although I best not book any accommodation for a little while, what with the previous track records for opening dates. I have to say though, SW8 does seem to be progressing nicely. I'm sure the dry weather has helped greatly - if I recall, the summer when the Smiler was built was particularly wet!

Ellen's Energy Adventure was a good laugh but it is quite dated now - amazing how even the "old" rides at Disney/Epcot are a lot more impressive than a lot of attractions over here The Great Movie Ride is "classic" Disney and we did enjoy it when we went - I remember laughing quite a lot at the animatronic Tarzan and his battle cry as he swang in on a rope

OUR LEADER IS HERE.

Is the X Factor tie in the worlds first attraction? Surely not....?!

Merlin love a good "accidental" leak. They've been doing it for years. Just try walking under Storm Surge.

Another IP that's past it's sell by date

Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear.... Not even a mention of VR

When's this "world's first" attraction happening then eh? Summer is winding down now

Preview Night is the cheapest night The Colony went into the cornfields I think but there were random fires, actors etc. so maybe it was that maze that had been adapted? The sheer size and length of the mazes astounded me like I say! 100% going again this year. Also to keep on topic: How long until SAW Alive gets binned? And also - FN's starting on 29th September this year now

100% going to Tulley's again this year - purely just to meet the popcorn girls again haha Was very impressed last year, and that was on the preview night, so assume it would have been even better once the actors had got used to the new mazes etc. Hopefully Hellements goes this year as that was laughable, that was my only negative. The size/length of The Colony is something that Thorpe can unfortunately only ever dream of.

Don't mind me, just quoting myself
