    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!
  4. Benin replied to Artie's topic in The Past
    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...
  5. 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...
  6. Benin replied to Adam J's topic in General Discussion
    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...
  7. Photobucket? But I used Facebook... FFS, can't be arsed to do that...
  8. 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)?
  9. Premiere Screaming Event? Was that REALLY 10 years ago? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

    In other news, the Pope is Catholic...
  11. Benin replied to Marc's topic in UK Attractions
    God they abused the hell out of that Halloween music didn't they? Was so sick of it after like, a year of it being used across half the park... The oompa music suits the whole Bavaria realism vibe they're going for now anyways... It didn't affect me over Zoo Days, I doubt it'll affect me Sunday (indeed, it seems that the area music is the least of the worries in that area right now)... Dunno what this toning down thing is though, more getting these areas into a more realistic/down to earth (ish, purple building was silly in that regard, though dunno how it looks in real life) look and feel... Hence why Burger Kitchen is no longer another castle on the outside (and extremely bland on the inside it seems)...

    Weren't Pixar meant to be doing a Dinosaur film? (Answer, yes, as well as 3 other original stories over the next 3 years) To be fair to them though, at least their sequels for the most part (Cars 2 is the one exception, but that was Disney going IT PRINTS MONEY!) are actually pretty decent... In fact Toy Story aside they've not done many sequels/prequels (Research tells me that this would only be their 3 non Toy Story related sequel)... I'm not sure if Nemo was worth a sequel though...

    He means one working swing... As in where you sit...
  14. It's so simple TPR could do it...
  15. Benin replied to Theme Park bloke's topic in The Real World
    I enjoy playing the pedant game...
  16. Benin replied to Benin's topic in Stuff
    Pixar really do have an obsession over sequels/prequels atm... And STILL no Incredibles one? FFS...
  17. The soil being different to the expected was the issue, hence the concrete walls that suddenly appeared unexpectedly... Either that or Merlin are following other trends, as the UK is rare in that majority have their rides open with the parks themselves... Europe and USA don't tend to do this for major rides...
  18. Benin replied to Adam J's topic in General Discussion
    Feet don't make the difference; length of leg does... Hence I can't sit in the back rows because I'm not a bloody contortionist (even then the front rows are a struggle)...
  19. Benin replied to JoshC.'s topic in General Discussion
    Dragons Playhouse... [/end discussion]
  20. I'd suggest re-wording your post then Safe to say that first drop is good though... Clearly is world class since Expedition G-Force does it too
  21. On a personal level, I could never really count a ride's lift hill alone as world class... Especially when the reasoning for it being such is a trait shared by all other hyper coasters (and some other ride types as well)...
  22. I dunno, never ridden them... Millenium Force and Expedition G-Force do suffer from it...
  23. Nope, like most big rides, it suffers from great first drop, dull rest of layout syndrome... See also most Intamin Hypers... Only ride Alice 2-3 times a year? After my first go on it last year it's turned into a must ride whenever I visit it <3
  24. Benin replied to th13teen's topic in UK Attractions
    That's the vertical lift then... Still holding out for a launched first lift
  25. Benin replied to th13teen's topic in UK Attractions
    See with it expiring it's a bit silly, as it means that most people might not be able to use it... Make it for all year then they'd get some money from it... And please, for the analogy, it's like winning an apple pie </3
