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...

Cant predict anything, just go and what will be will be...

Did you ever ride the original? Because this is all shades of wrong this...

Also everything at Efteling... And Silver Star <3 There's not many dedicated ride themes that aren't very good or don't suit the overall atmosphere of the ride...

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 on Facebook found possibly the weirdest metal sub-genre to grace the world... It's strangely amazing and silly at the same time, apparently they're also touring Europe this year, which is incredibly tempting...

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

New news about the lodges! Resubmitted a planning permission application with some slight changes: Apparently one of the reasons it initially failed was a local group worried about JCB noise pollution reaching the lodgings and hence would affect their manufacturing processes, shows how much JCB affects the local area...

Special delivery!

Arthur - The Ride has been delayed, and all traces of the original opening day have been removed from Europa's PR... Now it's only fair that they get an equal amount of abuse to what Towers got when Smiler got delayed, especially given Europa have been spending a much longer time building it...

Yes, yes she is... What did she expect bar a full refund when the park has chosen to do this at the behest of the local police? It's a shame that this has escalated to such a poor turn of events for the park, where those involved in getting the event cancelled will see it as a win against those 'immigrants who come here stealing our jobs and give us cancer' (Source: Daily Mail)... Their FB page is full of OUTRAGE because people seem to be rather self-centred about their life instead of the big picture... Not that I understand why people are staying there this weekend unless they were going to the event, since it would be shut on Saturday anyways...

Then tend to open midweek as well, especially more likely in June..

If anyone cares/is interested, there will be no Towers Live event this year, confirmed via Twitter... Shame, but such an event hinges of having a decent line-up of 'popular' acts, and budget... Considering most of that is going on fencing, looks like Towers can't afford anyone good to turn up...

T'Ultimate is probably one of the roughest coasters in the country... It's also one of the most (strangely) enjoyable though... But it is as said, a marmite coaster, just go for it with open expectations... Raptor Attack is pretty good as well considering it's an indoor Pinfari...

If it's quiet I'll have done everything I want to by 11 tbh... Bit random though it's opening earlier than anticipated... Maybe the uptake hasn't been as good for the days, hence saving money on needless levels of staffing?
