Denmark > Smiler

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...

Would explain why TPM has stopped acting like a school...

3rd video is up...

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...

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...

That's why you get changed in the loos beforehand

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...

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

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...

Actually, I've just remembered that Treasure Trove used to have music, whatever happened to that?

Can just see the guests looking confused as they try and go on the running ride only to find a half finished construction site... Then they'll trot over to Guest Services to express OUTRAGE!

Weirdly on my visit (however briefly) on Saturday, only Stealth went down...

Maximum possibility of 360 riders per hour? Not a great idea...

Space and money would be my guess... Chessie have neither...

It's partly momentum, but the brakes can and do slow the train down (in the same fashion as any MCBR would)...

Merlin aren't beating their own record though, beating Tussauds'... [/pedant] Towers are really struggling to keep stuff quiet it seems this year, with the leak of the Sanctuary video, the papers releasing the Smiler story quickly, and now Krave... 14 inversions is a big thing, especially considering the space they had available... I think for me it's the way they've used the space that's the most impressive aspect of the entire thing... Inversions are easy to market and as Marc said, it looks like subtle gimmicks aren't successful over here, so we have to be more in the face of people...

Double post, but whatever... Yeah it doesn't stop on the brakes anymore (kinda, it still stops on the 3rd one which I think is down to stacking), making it weird tbh... Does it make a massive difference to the experience? Based on what someone else on my train said, nope, it's still turdio, they might have polished it but it's clearly still not good enough for the main target audience...

I seriously cannot get over the artistic beauty of this sign... I mean, so imaginative, the colours a perfect blend with the font... Quite simply, PHWOAR...

???

Think it's more that no-one cares about it... Is it open today then?
