Benin

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

New record... Oh yeah, I remember now, didn't post it because of that STUPID inability to post certain smilies on here...

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

Thorpe and Towers' current maps are absolutely awful... Need to get a new design as soon as possible...

Yeah that's the plan, but what I mean is that I don't fancy joining 999 enthusiasts in a nice long queue in the Dome at 10:03am on Sunday... Would rather actually do it FORWARDS first and other rides at that time

Exchange it for a timed slot ticket at the Dome Fastrack desk... No thanks, I'd rather go and ride some other rides THEN come back to that, not queue with 999 other people straight off the bat...

Cos Burger King is crap?

Could always do what Heide Park did to their boat and sink it...

DC Comics will tire out in a matter of years? Nah, been around for years, will always be popular... Right about Saw though (And Ice Age, and Shrek, and every other IP Merlin get)... As for the map, it still looks crap...

Offt Seriously, that's a damn fine tangle of track... HYPE TRAIN!

5 rides for thrillseekers eh? That's 5 more than what Chessie offer...

I would refer people to my old Bubbleworks retheme idea that was posted on here AGES ago for some form of competition as an idea for a retheme... Although with the more 'realistic' nature Chessie are taking, I'm not sure what route they could take with a new theme... But the easiest method would be a complete gutting of the building and start afresh...

Hocus Pocus theme is actually fab, really under-rated... Actually, aside from the Bubbleworks Duck rape, I'm struggling to think of a bad music track at Chessie...

Erm, one side of the billboard has been shown, which looks to be a rather atypical cheese filled advertising poster you'd see in a "lost hope" horror film... The other side might well have the winning slogan... I like the Paradise Flights advert, brings the ride down to Earth (boom boom) and links the currently existing theming into a further background...

Bringing it back will never convey the same emotions or design that the original had... Need to change things, but into something new, not go back to the past...

You learn to hate it after hours on platform listening to it... SNEEZE ALREADY DAMMIT!!!!

Classic ECC... Fortunately, Thirteen is a hit with the GP nowadays since it's shifted that marketing scheme monkey off it's back...

Can't blame them really can you considering the amount of downtime it's had...

1 train operation on opening weekend?

The random Oktoberfest stuff was back this year... I prefer it over the Halloween music...

Maybe if Intamin had done their calculations correctly it wouldn't NEED the trim...

I would hope they mention it before the 10th tbh... Not that there will be people clamouring the gates and demanding a ride on it mind...

But pointless arguements are what enthusiasts do BEST!
