If they're gonna have a later park opening they'd have to put on a fair few more buses over the night... Wonder how much that'll cost them...

A correct Grammar Coaster?

No sarcasm, it's just a result of a stupid censor system...

Why the feck is Light-water on the censor-list? *facepalm*

By reacting, do we mean when the flame actually ignites, or when it fails to and covers the area in a gas cloud of death?

So gorgeous Also, the Hypnotiser leg is being done... Theme Park Worldwide

Hong Kong Disney have opened Mystic Manor, and it looks damn awesome... Massive spoilers obvs... Some of the animatronics in there are just amaze... And I want the monkey

Hah! I knew when I saw it from Skyride yesterday it wasn't set properly...

Right, car broke itself today and a bodge allowed me to go to Towers and home, but it needs garage asap... This combined with no trains means I'm not going...

</3 That's annoying as hell...

12 degrees is not shorts weather...

Banners down, Fences up! ATG

Animals are arriving! Legoland FB

Typical Merlin...

You might need this...

Slammer has let me down and should therefore be removed...

+1

It's time to Man Up!

If anyone still cares, here's a video...

Final turn being done today, I would imagine the first lift is next on the agenda (with the drops)... Aforementioned final turn... Supports for the drop(s) coming into place... Mechanisms on the lift hill... Coming off the vertical lift... Decent transistion for a Gerst Alton Towers Guide's pics

Hehe, you moan at me for twisting words, then naturally miss out that I said (with an air of tonuge in cheek of course) that Slammer had PROBABLY been down more than Rameses (although I would say it would be amusingly likely a situation, as Rameses' still has most of it's original manual untouched by post-its and appendices due to the botching of Slammer over the years)... Where did I 'forget' how 'complicated' Slammer is? Because it uses compressed air cylinders (which are actually in the Engineering world, quite a simple system, since all the system does is pressurise the stored air, pushes it into another container via the ride) to raise and lower the paddles? (Of course, there are naturally a different level of issues with the pressurised air situation, but that's another story all together)... Of course Rameses just uses both pneumatic and hydraulic systems within itself, with the additional joints connecting the arms and seating (changing from fixed to free positioning modes)... And I haven't even mentioned that all those components required motors to run (which of course, can't always cope and withstand the 8 hour a day 7 days a week 8 months of the year work they go through)... So really, looking at it with my engineering hat on and degree in hand, Rameses is actually more complex a system due to the multitude of moving parts with differing workings (the aforementioned hydraulics AND pneumatics) it has in comparison to Slammer... How weird... Author's Note - Unfortunately detailed information straight from the manufacturer's mouth is hard to come by on Slammer, since S&S stopped making the ride (and it's components) years ago... Of course it uses motors to power the ride's rotational aspect, but the majority of the workings is based upon the usage of pressured air to allow the ride to rise and fall into ride/loading positions...

I thought that was Storm Surge?

Huss have 3 ride categories on their website... Classic Family Giant Amusingly enough, there's this in the Giant category... http://www.hussrides.com/giant-rides/giant-top-spin.html And other rides in the Classic category include... http://www.hussrides.com/classic-rides/booster.html http://www.hussrides.com/classic-rides/frisbee.html http://www.hussrides.com/classic-rides/fly-away.html http://www.hussrides.com/classic-rides/shotn-drop.html That's quite a lot of thrill rides listed in the Classic category there... Huss can't have messed up their website THAT bad now can they? Although of course I'm not going to stop you treating your opinion as fact (even after it being disproved by myself and others)... As for Slammer, it's been open (redefining the term whilst at it) for 8 years... And has probably been shut more times than Rameses... Settling in is not a valid excuse for a ride that old (especially of a ride type where 2 were made and the other has been sent to the scrapheap)... Not that you read the entirity of posts against you, otherwise you would have noticed I mentioned I don't ride Rameses myself, but also understanding it's role in the park at being the big and scary rides the younger visitors can either: Aspire to ride Watch parents go round due to it's excellent role in visual ability Whilst also being a popular attraction amongst the older side of the park's family demographic...

I thought that's what the storage shed was for...
