Holiday Park's Log Flume reverses, so it's doable on most 'traditional' flumes...

Bioshock Infinite made my head hurt... Still fab

The cable moves only in the horizontal plane, and indeed, the winch either increases the cable length to the station or decreases it... Stealth is in basic terms, pretty damn simple, hence why I could recreate it (scaled of course) in an university environment...

Actors cost at least £2 more an hour than ride staff... Terry only has about, 2/3 actual actors right? Hell the ones who let you off the lifts are probably used in the actual corridor itself, saves money (and lots of people in one area)... I guess Sanctuary might have at least double that, and as mentioned, the other costs such as lighting and other effects will make a difference... But the main cost is definitely the actors... In addition, what with the low attendance so far, one could say it's the extra fat being trimmed off as well to save some money... And as I said, they need to have the Towers opened up as an agreement with the council, hence it was never going to be permanent... I really couldn't care less mind... Never interested me...

I know, as just being sarcastic about the whole thing... Probably not releasing any info on such a record until they feel like they want to push marketing to the next level... Let's be honest there's been bugger all since the ride was initially delayed, so they are blatently waiting till a confirmed date before pushing such stuff...

Washing Machine of course...

Considering I just went for £610 (including a deal granted, but that would've taken it to about £800) for the Sequoia for 4 nights and then add on £132 for Eurostar, I cannot see how you spent that much...

The stops were silly when it went backwards...

And the fact that the ruins have to be open for a set amount of days throughout the year might have had something to do with it, as you can't access them at all atm...

http://rcdb.com/rhr.htm?m=4 11 years Colossus held the highest inversion record (and as the first one, Chimelong's can be ignored as it didn't beat or grow on Colossus)... Indeed, Colossus was built at the peak of the record breaking era in the industry, where everyone was trying to better each other with heigh, speed or inversions... Nowadays, it's just not deemed as big a deal to break a record like that (we went onto steepest drop and other assorted crap)... The numerous inversions will probably make some form of appearance in marketing, as it's simple to market to the masses... It'll be used in support to the rest of the ride though, and probably won't be the major calling to it...

What an advert

Close for a year, meaning that when the park gets busy (ish) they don't have their highest throughput ride... Not worth that problem, even without the rockwork (which was falling apart for about 10 years anyways)...

It was significant when Thorpe did it... Better secret element than a washing machine...

Not even that, they can just look at what they took down two weeks ago...

They don't really NEED new suggestions, just use the original concept and ideas... Job done...

KILL THE BLOODY THINGS!

I don't think any other park in the UK does have a Wild Mouse anymore (bar Blackpool, but as that's made of wood, different situation altogether)... Sure someone's who worked on Rattlesnack can give us a fuller answer as to why it closes in the cold, as Vamps and Fury are pretty standard (along with Skyway in any form of crap weather)...

This... For what is the in-house design team, they are a ridiculous burden on the parks that should be using them straight off... Charging stupid amounts for signs and what-not...

I'm not holding my breath...

BUT THE WASHING MACHINE!

It's probably a case of it actually being ABLE to run at the maximum speed, rather than slower in case it tears itself apart... Throwing caution to the wind...

I used to use TinyPic, but only for RCT related pictures... I don't think I could handle posting 100 photos onto there just for trip reports...

Because those two are the rides unable to work in the cold for definite hence it's best to inform guests about it (as it's not the clearest of things)... Any other closed rides are due to whatever else...

Photobucket? But I used Facebook... FFS, can't be arsed to do that...

I've noticed that a lot of older topics (trip reports mainly) seem to have lost their links to photos, there a reason behind this? Is it fixable (as the photos in question still exist)?
