  1. One of my posts on Facebook recently got as many as 20 likes so I await my invitation to this year's press night.
  2. Yep it has to be a big coaster really - probably another woody to match AT's, they like to buy their coasters in bulk
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
  7. 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
  8. OUR LEADER IS HERE.
  9. Is the X Factor tie in the worlds first attraction? Surely not....?!
  10. Merlin love a good "accidental" leak. They've been doing it for years. Just try walking under Storm Surge.
  11. Another IP that's past it's sell by date
  12. Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear.... Not even a mention of VR
  13. Quoted by Benin #lifemade
  14. When's this "world's first" attraction happening then eh? Summer is winding down now
  15. 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
  16. 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
  18. I applaud AT for these videos - like I said on Facebook, they shouldn't have to explain themselves - but it helps shutdown (no pun intended) the Daily Mail fake news articles. I haven't read the article, but I wonder if they mentioned the Smiler accident in it - I'm sure they did....
  19. I see no planning applications have been made so it has to be something they wheel in and plonk down somewhere...

    Thorpe's social media will keep saying a mixture of it's closed permanently and under redevelopment, ad nauseam, because they don't know. Looking forward to another 10 pages of Twitter and Facebook screenshots until closed season.
  21. Don't h8 m8 apreciat8. Soz m80.

    This is/was Merlin at their most desperate IMHO. There's a reason why it's a world's first Surprised they didn't come up with a World's First for Storm Surge... I can think of a few It's a shame tagging world-first (or UK first) on to everything - The Smiler is/was a strong enough brand without it. Evidently doesn't always work or make any difference, with The Swarm being billed as the UK's first winged coaster being a case in point.

    Anyone know where the washing machine element is going? Or have I spoken out of turn?!
  24. Excellent addition to the lineup to soak up those queues, and the blue fences fit in a treat with Old Town
  25. DBGTROTD opened after a couple of days of unplanned downtime this afternoon.
