MattyMoo reacted to pluk in Thorpe Park Mania Merchandise
You'd never guess what my genuine favorite cereal ever is?! They used to sell it here when I were a lad you know, that's one of the main reasons I'm fat now!
Rather than pro TPM merch, how about anti TPR stuff. I'm sure it'd sell better...
Don't get upset TPRers, it's only a joke!

MattyMoo reacted to Mer in Thorpe Park Mania Merchandise
Well it's funny you should say that, as I came up with some member-based ideas myself
Max Wellingtons (too obvious, I know, hence why I put it first )
Luke Ayer Fresheners
Most of them however were food and beverages:
Liam_Tea
Matty Mousse
Smidget Gems
Pluky Charms
Rogan JoshC
Rice and Peaj
Mr Fish Fingers
Mermalade
Toof Pickle
But I think the best one is...
Myk Weaves

MattyMoo reacted to RubyRed95 in Rita
Nothing I have ever ridden is rougher than Colossus, but SAW is a close second. I mean I LOVE Colossus its one of my favourites and I reaaallyy don't care if rides are rough or smooth so long as they are somewhat intense. But Rita has always seemed fine to me- a little rough in places, yes, but far from horrendous. I like it, its a good launch coaster and while it is by no means my favourite on park (that title goes to Nemmy <3) it is clearly very popular.

As long as you are fine with queuing it's up to you Ruby - Won't be as busy as next weekend (or the weekend after) but if you've been already, you could go and just do the stuff you want to do again!

MattyMoo reacted to JoshC. in Re-Rides
That's the thing, people can't know the limit! There's too many factors (time of day, temperature, how hydrated you are, how much you've had to eat, when you last ate...) to know exactly "Well, after x number of rides of this coaster, I've had enough", especially when they're sat down all the time.
Personally, I think a blanket no reride policy is a tad over the top (limit it to 2 or 3 say), but I can see why parks do it. When I last went to Towers on a dead day in May (in the pouring rain too), I still got a brilliant ride count and the having to go round the queues again didn't affect any of our days in the slightest.

MattyMoo reacted to Fred in Re-Rides
Ah yes, but how would you know, or know that those around you are in a fit state to continue re-riding?
It's only a matter of time until you get someone being sick (downtime) or needing medical assistance (more downtime).
I love how it would be a disaster if you have to walk around. God knows how you enjoy a quiet day at Alton if that's the case..

"Yet again there was barely any park-wide theming, although this was the preview night so hopefully they will add more." where have I heard that before?

MattyMoo reacted to Benin in New For 2015?
So next year we're getting Fish moved for a second time with a retheme...
This is top tier theme parking right here...
Also, was Scorpion Express really a success? Given that Chessie's figures don't tend to fluciate wildly, and a lot of visitors probably didn't turn up last year because the park was dreadful and pointless...

Duelling Top Spins with 2nd Detty Tower in the middle.
From a reliable sauce.

MattyMoo reacted to pluk in Alton Towers General Discussion
Can only talk of my own limited experience, bur the whole atmosphere changes a lot, caused almost as much by the parks reaction (which I'm not criticizing) as by the travelers themselves.
By 'letting them do as they wish' I presume Fred refers to the excessive queue jumping, loud swearing and smoking everywhere (it's not all of them, happens every day, lets not be racist, yada yada yada), which are not things I'm able to tolerate myself. Last time I stopped a queue jumper pushing by me (which I will always do) I got threatened with a stabbing repeatedly for the remainder of my 20min Smiler queue.
It's not a pleasant place to be, I'd avoid those days and I wish towers could 'work with the community' in some way to stop these weekends having such an impact on their guests.

The 'old layout' just bolted together and can be put straight back as was with little effort. To build a new framework would take a lot of effort.
Helpful guide to the last 20 pages...
1) ZOMG! Asylum is the best maze, it better not go.
2) ZOMG! Asylum is going, it better stay the same or frightnights will be rubbish.
3) ZOMG! Studio13 is coming, it better be nothing like Asylum.

Not everyone rushes around theme parks in the way you do.

Top Spins and Sub Terra clones. Such ambition is unparalleled.

MattyMoo reacted to Benin in New For 2015?
Cannot remember where those plans are from originally...
But if you think Thorpe/Merlin would build that, abject disappointment is around the corner...

A permanent double Flow-Rider?
Was the temp one really that popular?
Will there be a point to add an attraction which will presumably be shut for most of the season?
Wish they'd just get rid of Neptunes Beach and use that space to make the park look a lot more welcoming...
