  1. Referring to Bubbles' pink with blue/yellow/red trim... And if you think THAT'S bad you haven't seen the shop interior yet...
  2. Looks fine, it's part of the village, rather than the cauldron which was a castle (meaning the place had two castles in the area, LOL LOGIC!)... Think we're over-reacting slightly... Although the interior lack of theming is a valid disappointment... Such is the way of brand recognition (yes, look how similar this is to other Burger Kitchens in the Merlin chain)... The old buildings looked tired, and this looks TONNES better than what's behind the photographer...

    I love how the Depth Charge exit goes straight into a Fastrack booth now Kinda just sums up Thorpe don't it?

    But why would Thorpe, a park aimed at extreme thrills decide to change one of their coasters to be more inclusive of a family market? Is it because they've realised the family market is more profitable now?!
  5. So the near-misses are ineffective backwards... SHOCK!

    To be fair, they know it's the same (well, similar) to Saw... Unfortunately it's only the manufacturer that's the same...

    Lol Thorpe... It's that they haven't even got rid of the entire thing that makes this so hilarious, why even bother removing one section? Amazing scenes...
  8. Complaining that a Facebook competition entry didn't get used... It's FACEBOOK, all that thing was some cheap PR stunt stuff... A billboard advertises things, not spread random slogans that mean nothing at all... I'll find out tomorrow... I'm not that excited for it though to be quite honest, just glad I'm not gonna have to queue excessively to get it done...

    Erm, one could actually say that all of Towers' coasters are custom, indeed, with 3 World's First coasters, hard NOT to say that... Battlestar Galactica spent most of it's early life shut... No thanks, many better options available... Really, an Intamin Blitz, Mack Mega Coaster, B&M Hyper or GCI Wooden coaster are all valid options Towers could look at... As well as perhaps a new water coaster to replace the Flume...
  10. Very few people come off Bubbleworks with any form of excitement... I worked on it for two years, seen enough evidence to prove that the sterile boredom of New Bubbles does not fulfill any form of entertainment...

    Yeah I remember their pottery factory being complained about shortly after they'd started another campaign against Towers... Since then it's all been quiet...

    I swear they've not been involved in any spates recently... Part of me thinks this is because they moved away, not that Towers could change anything back on Oblivion because of being under a court order... I think...

    Hmmm, whilst it is one word against the other, I'm sure Fred would actually know about the inner workings of Legoland and Towers (especially Towers) quite well... Just a thought since you're throwing the old "I DO know better than you" card around...

    Enterprise is silver and Submission is blue...

    Again we'll just be going over the same ground... H&S might deem it unsafe, BUT if Thorpe had maintained it properly it wouldn't have gotten into an unsafe situation... Let us not repeat the Dragon Falls topic again... Please...
  17. To be fair, I think only a handful on here (5 at most) have even been on a Wing-Rider other than Swarm... #TheExperiencedPercent Again though, it's all US bias really and whatever TPR's flavour is... This whole 'experienced' riders issue annoys me as well, which I why I couldn't ever give a toss about ANY coaster listing aside from the only one that matters, my own...
  18. I don't, but that's because of Sequioa Adventure...
  19. Nice to see the parks jumping on the phone app bandwagon...
  20. I love their random ways of putting some clones together and others not... MEGA-LITES EVERYWHERE! Fluch #51 though, YAY!
  21. Actually, what Drayton needs is a GOOD coaster... Aside from Ben 10 and Troublesome Trucks obviously...

    Just a point about the fickleness of enthusiasts regarding Oblivion... "Waahhhh Merlin are building ANOTHER Black ride!!!" "YAY Merlin are repainting Oblivion Black!" Just a thought
  23. New record... Oh yeah, I remember now, didn't post it because of that STUPID inability to post certain smilies on here...
  24. Yes, yes it is... River Caves was really weird last year as a result of this, as the caverns section was blocked off by fabric based theming... And was my bad joke REALLY that bad enough to warrant removal? It wasn't even spam but topical to the theme of the ride
  25. Thorpe and Towers' current maps are absolutely awful... Need to get a new design as soon as possible...
