Heide Park
Was it always like that then? I unfortunately missed out on that Flume on my visit, I don't recall it being on the Q-Bot which could well be the reason why I didn't because the place was awfully busy and I had sunstroke... Not my best park visit ever...

Suvat is good, but it isn't a true reflection because the acceleration isn't constant in real-life... We did Oblivion as an example at university, the difference between Suvat and real-life results is incredibly drastic... For the record, RCDB reckons the max speed is 74mph...

The Smiler
Different manufacturers, different wheel assemblies... The fact is that it's not actually rust in the same vein as an oil stricken Colossus, but clearly some paint has been taken off at points of high contact between track and train... The orange colouration is down to the now bare metal reacting to the air... Oxidising rather nicely if I say so myself...

Friction causes objects to lose layers of paint, who knew?

Either that or they're fixing all the bolts in place...

So there will be a partially indoor queue... There's also a short video about one of the near-misses...

Spinning Spider at that TPM meet a few years back was mental... Still, Chessie's Carousel has the awesome spinning carriage of death...- Liseberg

Alternatively, a good way to see it is that the parks will add whatever they want whenever they want... These cycles were very much reliant on all the parks being of equal success to each other and given that now all the income goes into one big pot the 3 year cycle system was slightly out-dated... It's not the end of the world if we don't get a new coaster in 2015, unless any new addition is cheap crap...- Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Aside from the fact that it focused on a SLC...- 2014 Season
So basically you say it's down to the engineers being lazy? It's not very emergency is it if it's on all the time?- Doctor Who
Ah yes, classical judge every aspect of the new Doctor's personality off a still image... Or we could wait? Most of the individual aspects/quirks get introduced in about 5 minutes of the first episode anyway...- Nemesis
That's because in 1994 they designed queuelines to be interesting and interactive with rides... Shame now they must all be dull cattlepens with barely any interactivity at all (bar Smiler, but that's because you queue under the actual ride)...- Oakwood
How about a decent looking entrance? That'd be good...- Your Plans for 2014
You're really loving the DLP times atm aren't you?- 2014 Season

Magic Hours do exist in the Magic Kingdom park, in Discoveryland and Fantasyland, which means half the park can be done in a morning before the plebs arrive... Then you can position yourself to join the massive crowd to BTM... As for Crush's Coaster, I did maintain that it should be ridden first, though I'm not too sure about the affect of Toy Story Land on it on a busy day these days... It could well be that it's settled as I've had to queue the 90 minutes with the whole thing full... Not fun...- 2014 Season
Not sure why Fright Nights is free for Premium Pass people but not Summer Nights... Is it because it's not as financially assured to be a success? Probably...- Chessington 2014
