Rameses Revenge
That's... Arguable... Especially considering since Rameses only really Rattlesnake, Land of the Dragons and Wild Asia have been the major developments park wise...

Next Big Thing - 2016 Development ?
*cough*Swarm*cough*... EDIT - Also, "you're", what sort of example of spelling and grammar is that from the owner?

Next Big Thing - 2016 Development ?
No, it doesn't NEED to be a RMC hybrid to be defined as 'good'... That's just an unfair statement to make considering there is a reasonable amount of perfectly good (and great, and amazing) actual wooden coasters out there that have been around for years without being a hybrid or having inversions...

Flamingo Land
Bugger, I forgot this thing has one of them spiral push lifts... Everything about this ride just screams "I'M GONNA BE TURDIO!"...

Next Big Thing - 2016 Development ?
I'd hope not, Intamin Woodies are vastly over-rated... GCI please...

Oblivion
It doesn't need my help...

Oblivion
This year being the exception of course... I don't really know a time where Towers had something akin to Slammer's downtime... Besides, if that comment isn't the kiss of death on Thorpe, I don't know what is...

Six Flags Magic Mountain
What you get when you build rides in the EXTREMELY hot Californian sun...

Oblivion
Oblivion died a week or two back, unsurprisingly as they had to wait for a new part, the focus was on Smiler being fixed up... It's been down ever since...

Chessington General Discussion
Not really, cos of the way Chessie works it's seasonals, I doubt there will be many returners from last year returning from whence they came... And there's always a air few newbies for Summer anyways... So I wouldn't hold breath for decent staff appearing...

Thorpe Park Monopoly
+1 for loving the "Go ride Storm Surge" space

The Banning Game
Banned for being inexperienced...

Rameses Revenge
So apparently all you need to take down a ride are some ladders and blocks of wood? My degree taught me nothing...

Themeparks & attractions I've always wanted to visit
Port Aventura is the new Disneyland Paris... Also, lots of love for Dollywood, I approve of it... Although it's funny how Cedar Point and Europa are on everyone's lists, yet they're parks on the opposite end of the spectrum... Shows the difference between America and European park styles...

Scorpion Express
Repainting them red... Methinks the rumours of Mexicana becoming generic Wild West land might be a little bit true...

Tripsdrill
That's my "ride looks slow in testing video" box ticked then in new coaster bingo...

Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Calling Blackpool tacky isn't really an insult though, indeed, tacky is what I'd expect from a British seaside park... This tacky level is seen in the dark rides, I wouldn't say that they are all of top quality though... Alice in Wonderland is so crap it's fab for example... Aside from that there's only 4 others and even then they are not what I would call top quality... The TLC is only a very recent thing though to large quantities... Nick Land has made them have to revamp the park a lot (and has probably brought in the income TO revamp bits and bobs), the state of Beaver Creek beforehand was dire... And let's not say they keep all their classic rides, otherwise what about the Whip, Turtle Chase and Noah's Ark?

The Big Bad Movie Topic
Film of 2014 confirmed...

So we all knew this was coming..
Bearing in mind only about 5 people on the forum have actually been on Smiler so only their vote counts

Tripsdrill
Looking at the trains more... Great concept, bad execution... Biege? </3 Everyone and their dog are putting lights on coasters now though...

Zufari
Maybe they'll just have it so any kids sit in the middle, hence adults will be in the way of any attempting to be thrown out of the truck... Like the Black Buccaneer system they have... Doesn't make sense though yes...

Park Operations
I can say that in my experience it wasn't relating to sales, but that was 4 years ago now and at a difference park... Not knowing the inner workings of Thorpe's operations, can any of us really tell why the queue times are constanly incorrect to high levels? Maybe it's a KPI thing so people can say "no, queues didn't spoil my day as I queued less than anticipated"... Of course, it might just lead to boosting sales of Fastrack... I don't truly care tbh...
