  1. Cookie Cutter is more towards the rather atypical layouts you see in America... Whilst the WingRider is a new type, this doesn't really do anything new... Yes the entrance thing is nice, but at the same time, they could've done more to it instead of two plain thin towers... It's so typically bland of Cedar Fair to create a good idea but put zero effort into it... Shame really...

    World's first coaster being opened up, Thirteen got one, Oblivion got one, Air probably got one too...
  3. The film's depressing enough without need for this...
  4. >Not constantly in your face >First thing you see upon entering the park It's also one of the most over-rated parks ever, but as Mark said, aside from Millenium Force and Dragster, there's nothing else that is really big and brash (or anything bar the usual America style)... 2 rides out of... 15 odd now? Raptor, Mantis, Magnum are all big rides but show something more substanial than that, Gatekeeper fits into this category of big rides, but does that mean there should be more effort that two giant pieces of bare concrete (something Smiler gets hate for interestingly)... Maverick is spectacular to watch (and to some degree ride, but then Intamin restraints </3) as well, but I just like my rides to have more substance than the EXTREME cookie cutter experience you get at Cedar Fair parks... At least Six Flags theme some of their rides (N.B. this only applies to DC rides)...
  5. Is the right answer... Fits Cedar Point to a tee... Cookie cutter coasters that could be located at any park in the world...

    Theme is announced... So far looks like a decent investment for the park too... Although the posted concept art is a bit... Wrong

    To be fair, they don't even need to show images of the ride testing, it's imposing enough as it is...

    Who wants a teaser video? Official Towers peoples
  9. In the States you can see up to (and sometimes over) $20 to park your car... Indeed, for a long long time, the UK was the exception to the industry in regards to paying for parking, we Brits over the years have been extrememly lucky in the sense of being reasonably different from the foreign parks, including longer seasons and free parking... Until people stop going though, this charge will still happen, like most expenses anywhere leisure based... The business world for you...

    I'll be at Djurs Sommerland that day, riding Juvelen and Piraten... Denmark > Smiler confirmed...
  11. Not difficult mind... Literally though, they need to do regular (not yearly, that's silly, but every 2/3 years) repaints on EVERYTHING... Flat rides, shops, restaurants, theming and coasters... If they can do that (goes for the other parks as well), then we can say things are better... Presentation goes the longest way in a guest's perception...
  12. Would explain why TPM has stopped acting like a school...

    3rd video is up...
  14. Will no doubt be the right answer... B&M's in America just seem to lack a piece of quality on a rather regular basis... Enjoyable, but, nothing that's not been done before or is actually unique...

    The best solution would be to remove the piece of crap in the area, and then there won't be a need for the scaffolding...
  16. Something that only really happens in the UK, most other countries actually repaint their rides...

    That's cos it's behind a massive mess of track... Not plonked down...
  18. That's why you get changed in the loos beforehand
  19. And the stupidity of not wearing practical footwear when you're walking around all day... Then again, I saw someone in a blue dress you tend to see on nights out at Thorpe Saturday, so people have no sense...
  20. To be fair, I do remember going on Banana Boat a few years back during Fireworks and it was playing Cha Cha Slide... To which we danced to... It was fab <3

    The problem with the station is because it's so big and has a vast expanse of plain concrete it looks so plain... Needs sommat to break it up more than the piping... Fake windows would have been a start... EDIT It LIVES! ATG

    Logger's Leap

    With the way the English weather is, are we surprised only about 2 proper water rides in the country actually get people soaked?

    Advert being filmed tonight then...
  24. Actually, I've just remembered that Treasure Trove used to have music, whatever happened to that?
