I suppose, worst case, my demon costume can be painted brown for 2018. Can't need too much tweaking to change it to a Gruffalo

Was saying to @RubyRed95 t'other day - it amazes me that IACGMOOH is "only" 2 years old... it feels like we've had it a lot longer Is this year the last year of the IP before it's due for renewal? Gruffalo Maze, lads?

If Ramases is still alive (just) after 22 years then I think Colossus has a little while yet.

My source still can confirm that WC16 will feature a train carriage if this helps. I have heard that there will be some new music on park this year (Sauce: Daddie's) but I'd be very pleasantly surprised if a CD is released. Do the kidz even know what a CD is nowadays anyway? Surely just put it on iTunes or Spotify bruv. Isn't getting near park map time soon? Or was it last year that we didn't see that OLD TOWN existed until AP day?

That's because by the time you've said the new name of the ride in full you forget what words you started the sentence with.

Southsea now for 3 and a half years after living in Farnborough & Camberley the rest of my life - I don't miss home one jot to be honest, there's always something going on in Southsea/Portsmouth - free music, events, markets, arts and craft events... then there's a great community of local independent businesses (pubs, restaurants etc.) that I'm proud to know as friends. Portsmouth has a bit of a bad rep but I honestly love it here. Having the sea at the end of my road and Southsea Common 15 minutes away... plus Victorious Festival every year, I just love it Oh and and it's considerably cheaper than home too! It's things like takeaways and taxis where you notice it - at home I'd never ever get a taxi but round here there's so much competition (even more so with Uber too) that it's cheaper if there's 2 of you to get a taxi than get a bus!

Exactly. Never forget the train carriage...

Awesome. Carry on as you were Merlin! :-)

Literally no words, just saw that video on Facebook. Something has gone seriously seriously wrong for that to happen... Assume lap bar not locked correctly or she was too short to ride? Anything is possible with a Chinese knock off I suppose The poor girl had no chance judging by how bent the safety barrier was after she was thrown into it

@RubyRed95 This made me/us laugh and that's all that matters.

This aren't my listings (!) but someone is having a massive clearout on eBay of lots of Merlin merch/pins/badges... http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/notwhoyouthink/ All I want is a Smiler Hoodie though tbh

That was top secret information.

Vicky Balch is back in the papers today doing a nude photoshoot because obviously a lingerie shoot wasn't enough publicity...

Platform 15 can't come back because Loggers is reopening this year.

I hate to be defeatist but you may find that the X7 doesn't get you there early enough if you are a member of staff.

They are definitely sorting out some foundations in Old Town as those rows of triangular shaped long wire things (called continuous wire chairs) that you can see below the boat are used in concrete slabs. I only know this as it's my job haha.

Yes would agree that's just pretty unlucky with Stealth - she's normally quite well behaved!

@Mitchada04

Slightly off topic but I genuinely keep thinking this topic is "Thorpe Fam"

My job here is done. PS. I genuinely can't make the 25th

If this ends up being on the Saturday then alas I can't make it (sad times) - it's my first day at my new job, and I'm just really hoping that demon costume still fits.

Would've been Flying Fish or Loggers back in the olden days when you risked injury from the bushes on the Flying Fish haha That queue line never really felt like you were queuing, you just felt you were in a garden centre No loitering on the bridge please! Also - I've been sick on backwards X. Too many chocolate buttons before riding - believe me, that exit took FOREVER when you can feel the chunder a-coming....

As a supplier of reinforcement mesh and bar, that's one intense mesh double layer there just waiting for concrete, lads.

Do you think they'll remove the signage and characters on the Ice Age building if it's SBNO? Did they do that for Charlie last year? I spy more fences to hide the closures...

Very odd in the current climate to spend money on something one year for it to be SBNO the next...
