    ^Were you even 'dissing' her in the first place?There's a lot to be said for staying in the rock/metal genre... There's a lot more talent and originality there...
  2. ^Considering Europa don't exactly have much to say in the way of major recorded accidents, I wouldn't say it's that...Having been to the park, I would say some people are slightly putting it out of proportion... Mark's image is of an empty seat... Because of their efficiency and view on throughputs, it makes perfect sense if they don't have to put it down and check it, saves a lot of time doing so...Effectively they just wanna get you on the ride more quickly... Nothing wrong with that imo...Also the Central Europeans are obviously much more lax on their H&S, just look at some of their park playgrounds and you can just tell the massive difference in between us and them...
  3. Edited for Accuracy...And yes, it's entirely like that, when I went on the Mine Train they put a bar does as the train was leaving... I found it simply hilarious, and it does show how they treat their guests with an ounce of common sense, maybe because that's something the Germans retain when entering a park, rather than losing the majority of their IQ once through the turnstyles...Europa's getting new stuff this year as well... Looking forward to going personally woo...
  4. It says it, but they don't bloody tell the arrogant sods that they're not entitled to immeadiate riding do they?Sales people...
  5. I never said I didn't get caught up in queues... Not buying fast-track DOES NOT mean the parks weren't busy... Just not busy enough for me to a) worry about not getting on rides, or wanting to pay silly amounts of money to skip queues...Visiting parks to me is not getting a high ride count, it's about taking in the experience and culture from an international side... Going on say TTD 5 times in a day would not be on my list of things to do...Neither did I visit 10-12 parks... That's just a silly idea...
  6. ^Mate, I'm 20, therefore, all my various international trips have been in school holidays-time... I'm even a student right now at university...I wouldn't give examples unless there was a precise point to them...
  7. ^Of course, should you plan an international trip well enough you may not even need fast-track there to get a decent day out...Rest of the arguement is sound though... Just stating a well planned trip can easily prevent the use of fast-track... I've only had it in the US twice, Universal (because of time frames being narrower than FF's platform), and Kings Island (as it was the 5th July and assumption of packed park happened, plus VIP trip of JOY)...
  8. Considering they recently revised their Fantasyland plans I think now's as good a time as any to create a topic for WDW in general, so incorporating all 4 of the parks and resort...Firstly, the Fantasyland expansion has been revised in the Magic Kingdom, killing off the numerous Princess based attractions, and giving us a new Mine themed coaster... As well as the Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast attractions...Scroll down here...Animal Kingdom recently opened a new Animal Trek paying (I think) attraction... This involves a special jaunt around the Savannah area there and looks rather awesome... Apart from the food, that looks crap tbh...Pictures can be seen here...And finally, Hollywood Studios has revealed that Star Tours 2 will open officially on the 20th May... That's it for now, hopefully we can get a lot of people discussing Disney in here as well...
  9. Or single rider...God I miss Inferno having that...
  10. 90 minutes... Or 10 minutes...FIGHT!
  11. How to advertise your new roller-coaster, brought to you by Gardaland... EDIT - Also it seems they've dropped the X from the title, leaving us just with RAPTOR...

    GO GO POWER RANGERS! etc.
  13. ^I think it's trying to hide itself in plain sight...But as it's a boat, it's logic is slightly poor and hence it can be seen by all...
  14. Extra food revenue does not and probably will not equate to another hours worth of pay to all the staff...Plus, as Outfit said, 90% of the time the park isn't busy enough for a 7pm close...

    Jobs..

    What's that Mr. Lecturer? More Industrial Placements? Well I'll just have a flick through the locations... *whistles*... WHAT'S THIS?! EPSOM?!!!! WHERE DO I SIGN UP?Yes, I applied for my 3rd Industrial Placement today, now to play the waiting game...

    ^Tbh, everytime I see that mentioned I read it as the "SATAN CLAW"...Maybe my head needs looking at...
  17. Everywhere/Everyone needs a Dave... It's the law I'm sure...Though I've got my quota of Dave, I don't think TPM has...

    Dreams

    I dreamt I was giving a presentation to the Chessie management about my personal plans for the future with a PowerPoint slide-show and the works...That was awesome...
  19. It would if Halloween wasn't on the Monday... Only seems to happen when Halloween is on Friday or weekends...

    TPM awardssss

    Surely Mr. Foot would win that award?
  21. Judging by my past experiences... Yes it does seem true... Especially when you have stupid merge people allowing about 5 normal queue people every 10 minutes...Sigh...
  22. ^Quite simply, hit up Baco or Khan first... Baco is right at the front of the park whilst Khan is at the back, so it's entirely your decision there...Aside from that, there's not a lot else to suggest aside from the usual things... Dunno if they do Fast-track or similar personally, so might be worth investigating... I haven't been for 7 odd years so things could be completely different...I would also suggest you don't miss Templo del Fuego... Apparently it's epic; also be prepared for Stampida to be rough, not get a choice in seating/standing on Hurakan Condor, and for El Diablo to be boring...Take it quite a few of the shows as well, pretty decent...
  23. Giant box on wheels then?
  24. The longer versions of the Maverick trains are essentially the accelerator trains...And even then, they also suffer from neck bashing issues for me... It's what made Maverick a less than perfect coaster for me...Intamin need to do SOMETHING about their restraint design in general... And I really cannot see Colossus getting new trains anytime soon...
