Add me please -
Brilliant read, can understand the opposition though. Another racing woodie would be great but for an area like Woburn it could have been pretty destructive. From the plans it was clearly a pretty serious proposition. Anyone know if plans were drawn up for the possible Disney at the Blackpool zoo site?

It had to brake on us just before the last spell of summer didn't think this was one that prone to braking, must be the lift hill right?

Whats wrong with Crazy Golf!!!!!!!!!!
-
The costs for these events though are pretty high and do warrant a small fee!!! Better pay the fee than not have the events. As someone that likes mazes the Thorpe method is much better as its cheaper

Its not a bad idea but the scariest bit is always being at the front, I guess an actor leading it would ruin it. The cameras could work if well monitored!!!!!!!! I'm sure they wouldnt get nicked if they were checked in and out.

If they'd done the original theming waterfalls and other features could have looked really good! The oasis theme would always have been a little weak though I guess which is probably why they werent too bothered about doing it, wouldnt have been very effective on ride!

Gonna be running out of maze space at this rate!!! A wood based maze around CCR could be interesting!!!!! Another thought could be a 4D movie incorporating all of these different films?
-
What planned theming??????? Heroes chocolates are all I know to associate with air :s
-
As Peaj know but may have forgot I'm now down for the whole trip
-
Sounds good!!!! A bit like Q bot at Legoland. Cant see it helping those in the general queue or fast track sales but for those that use it it should be great

Entered a week late :/ catching up to do!!!!

I was surprised to see that even Durham were in clearing today!!!!! Shows what you can do with ABB!!!!!
-
Well done glad to hear your still on track, for economics we did work and leisure instead of transport which didnt seem quite as interesting :/ To anyone else that had results today I hope all went well

How about Dragons Fury backwards instead

It also looks pretty impressive and draws you in more than most flats (probably more than any flat they could replace it with!)

In my opinion one queue could never work as once near the front a high proportion of people are likely to opt for the back rows despite this section having a lower throughput. For this to work I think an equal number or front and back rows are needed. If this was considered next season maybe the situation could improve! One fast track for both options also seems sensible.

Back home!!!!! A few parks to cover so will spread it over a few posts, too much for reviewing for one night First up universal ... Better get this out of the way first, I DID NOT DO TRANSFORMERS!!!!!!! The ride opened around 12 and the queue was three hours. As we were on a trip we were only given from 10-5 and it really didnt seem missing everything else for it. Bummer .... What I did do ... First up was the tram tour. This really is incredible for any movie fan!!!! The general scenes and special effects are out of this world. King Kong 3D is one of the best experiences I have ever done and the earthquake, psycho, mummy and jaws were also great too. I really couldnt believe how good it was. The actor for psycho must get really bored!!!!!!!!!! Next up was Jurassic park. This is a great water ride and really like the films. Really worth doing and up there with the best water rides ive done! Love the big T rex at the end Next came the mummy. For just a 25 min queue I was really impressed and it is also a great ride. The dark section was very well done and the coaster section is also really smooth and fast. For anyone that hasnt done it the scarab beetles make for an interesting effect My show for the day was Waterworld. Having not seen the film I didnt really understand it but the stunts were good the plane part is really impressive and unexpected!!!!!!!! Well worth a watch. My final two attractions were House of Horrors (twice) and the Simpsons. The horror house is good, good actors but people walk through too close together. Not as effective as the uk mazes. Finally the Simpsons My favourite ride ever!!!!!!!!!! When you say its a simulator it sounds average but it really is fantastic. The film is great and you have no concept of the other cars at all. Really realistic and pretty thrilling. Love the land and would have loved more time there!!!!!!! Overall great park and would have loved more time there. ALso impressed by the water sprayers throughout the park to keep people cool!!!!!

At least thats travelling fair country!! All of these accidents just go to show that no type of ride can be risk free :/ At least when you consider the number of rides in the world the probability is definitely in our favor. With regards to six flags I guess the weight restrictions can be pretty hard to enforce and also pretty embarassing!!!
Mini update to keep you entertained until Universal After Vegas came Yosemite, although not really a theme park related venue it is still well worth a visit!!!! Especially if your a big tree enthusiast Next came San Francisco. This is a brilliant city and well well worth a visit if you have a chance!!!!!!! Really picturesque and loads to do So why the update I hear you ask? Well ... On pier 39 there is a ride of interest!! 7D experience. This is a simulator with all the 4D effects, along with this the ten minute attraction is also a shooter and each day leaderboards are updated. With several videos this is a great little attraction and one I would be happy to see in the uk!!! With a capacity of 20 it has an okay loading time and although maybe not suited to the big parks the Dungeons or Tussauds could do worse!!!
Dr Pepper if only fast food restaurants served it in the UK!!!!!
