Chessington General Discussion
Has Vicky Balch commented on this yet? Am waiting for a tabloid article that somehow links this incident to The Smiler.

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

Music
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)

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

Music
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!

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

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

Wicker Man
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!

Walt Disney World Resort
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

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

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
