  1. To the average guest though, Swarm and Inferno's seating arrangement are different enough to have 'a place' in the line-up as it were... At SFMM there's 3 coasters that focus on multiple inversions (Viper, Riddler's and Scream), but the park is big enough really to get away with that (plus Viper has a lower height limit, whilst Riddler's has the stand-up feature/burden)... Problem is at Thorpe, Colossus is the world record breaker, and I don't feel that the Floorless idea is enough of a differentiate for guests (aside from the fact it won't attempt to break your neck) to give much of a damn towards a ride that lacks much in the way of a gimmick in comparison...
  2. But they do move when they're not broken, like any animatronic... River Caves has a lot of still models with a smattering of animatronics with a lot more simplistic movements... I don't get your point... Unless it's that Chessie's maintainence is dire, which we all know anyway...

    The finale would be better if they timed the lighting to turn off when the strobes were on, like it used to be before it got ducked up... The lack of Imperial Leather stuff in some cases is hilarious, like one of the pictures in the stations looking like they let a toddler paint over the logo with a big paintbrush...

    Clearly filtered...
  5. Floorless in Spain, however, I feel one at Thorpe would clash with Colossus, due to only being a looping coaster with a gimmick which doesn't add much overall to the product... As for spelling, that's a given on any forum, if it's bad I'd hope the person gets a word in the ear about it...
  6. Indeed, so detailed, right down to only employing black people in the Africa area
  7. Nope, boat and drop design were part of the issues (namely weight of the boats causing either no splash or complete flooding)...
  8. Aside from Colossus, Hex, Vampire, Efteling, Disney, Universal, and many others...
  9. Desert Race is better than Rita though... Plus, it had to be white, regulations and stuff apparently... Weird mind... Still looking forward to riding it mind, especially once it's worn in a bit...
  10. Should've just done a horror train tbh... Anything would have been better than Blair Witch that's for certain...
  11. As a note, Tomb Blaster's animatronics are meant to move, dunno where that idea came from... River Caves is alright, good old fashioned bit of tat, bit dull as a ride overall (a trend with this style of dark ride mind), but inoffensive... Easier to maintain because it's cheap as chips really...

    Rides do open late sometimes... Scorpion Express opened 5 minutes late last week, and Vampire has always been a bit iffy at times...
  13. That was probably one of the worst looking rides I've seen... Thorpe can do better...

    Yep, how terrible of Towers to give life to an area that was always dead empty whilst bringing in a solid enough IP that won't age after a year...
  15. Any pics of Pirana and the inside of Dutchman? What about the fairytale forest of forever?
  16. Generic advertising is generic...
  17. The day G-Force gets a second train is the day Merlin builds a wooden coaster...
  18. How strange... Was a video blog thing like they'd done a few times... Silly Europa... Should work now though...
  19. Video!
  20. Another video, our old friend Bastian finally rides it... Seems like the speed flucuates between the front and backwards facing cameras... So dunno how it'll ride... Probably like the others... But the layout is alright, I'm mostly looking forward to that airtime hill more than anything...

    Love how the bottom part is ripped straight off a Sea-Life poster <3

    It's weird how off-peak days at Thorpe tend to not happen much anymore... Not helped by the lack of more than 1 train tending to be used on the majority of rides during this time of course...
  25. What about Easter Sunday though? The ACTUAL day of Easter... A weird decision should that be the case...
