Sounds like the old "Be Discovered" thingy... Did a quick price check for a weekend in August, 2 nights, 2 people, 2 day park ticket, comes out to £268 total... Decent enough value, the Ryanair of theme park hotels... -
Probs realised that it sounded too 'respectable' and 'serious' for such an awesome and cool park... Yo...

Probs advertising FN on the old giant wall of screens, they did that a LOT... And look kids, that's what Colossus looked like when it had been painted, you'll never be lucky enough to see it for real though, sorry...

Video on the park's opening back in 1992... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRfZpqja4-4&feature=player_embedded Features planned rides and second gate, a Studios park meant to open in 1995... That went well then...

I liked the part that effectively involves a victim being abused/spanked by something... That certainly wouldn't be deemed suitable these days...
-
A wild logo appeared... Hooray for the park choosing the interesting concept...

Have an update on Ratatouille! Lovely facade and shed combo going on <3

Being a bad B&M is like being a bad Pixar film, it's still got some quality to it, but lacks certain aspects that made the older ones true classics... It's nowhere near the worst B&M I've ridden (Top Deck at Great America takes that prize), and it's probably my favourite coaster at Thorpe... I'd take run of the mill over all the apparent record breakers the park also has anyday...

Implying that there isn't much nonsense posted on here already...

Ahhh, but don't forget this is the park that told people off for taking pictures of a dead Rameses... Hopefully they can have the path open between Vampire and Buccaneer if need be...
Having just downloaded it and heard it pretty clearly for the first time ever (it was never THAT clear on park, even when I was cleaning McDonald's external tables right next to a speaker), and it's obvious why they've since removed it... 90s truly were imaginative...
If that rumour is true (Source?) then they may as well not bothering opening the ride... That version of music was only removed a few years back... Possibly with the changing of the brand? I cannot remember, possibly linked into them adding the new area music in Translyvania rather than Bubbles remix... Shame, was one of those things that was just nice in the background to complete the scene...
At least Oblivion wasn't sponsored by an evil Russian gas company... In the wider picture, that's a lot worse than some tacky posters...
They need to just destroy the thing and start again...
Did you ever ride the original? Because this is all shades of wrong this...
Did anyone actually buy a XBone or a PS4? Cos, there was a lot of hype, then they got released, and the excitement all kind of flat out vanished...
Someone dumped some bunnies at Chessie who didn't take them in because of quarantine issues random animals could cause to their own... As such, OUTRAGE occurred... Cos of the poor bunnies...
You think about it though, would it be in Lego's best interest to cancel it whenever? Especially so last minute, they've only done this (I reckon) at the behest of the police... Facebook is certainly not the place for serious complaints though, I'm still waiting for the BOYCOTT over BunnyGate at Chessie t'other year...
If I recall the main idea of the lodge hotels is to provide alternative style accommodation for those who aren't fully into all that theme park guff and wanna go see the local area... I think the hotels during the busy season are quite busy as well, and this would be well welcomed if it becomes the 'cheap' hotel as it lacks the 'facilities'... Hopefully the next step would be an entertainment complex... EDIT - Link to the planning site - http://publicaccess.staffsmoorlands.gov.uk/portal/servlets/ApplicationSearchServlet?PKID=51414
