    Logically, they would, as to prevent an excessive backlash on the day and being able to manage expectations... But that's the logical answer, which as we saw this year, doesn't really course through Merlin or it's PR machine... It is behind schedule (to be expected with the god-awful weather this year), but it doesn't mean they're taking measures to get back on time (see working on Sundays)...
  2. Ahem... http://www.cwfans.it/photo/set.php?id=31

    See, I don't get the "oh Saw was built by now, therefore it will be late" arguement at all... Different rides, different construction styles, different locations, different weather... Just because one was built a certain way, doesn't mean that every other Gerstlauer will be, especially when different external construction companies are being used... If we're gonna compare, why not compare to Takibashi? That's the closest example to a large scale multi-looping Gerstlauer we have, and that was built in two weeks or sommat daft... I guess it's just a mixture of enthusiasts wanting Towers/Merlin to fail so they can complain, and a few who are just literally hitting the panic button because of how they think ride (or any form of) construction works, and as it's not working in that manner, it won't be built on time... I'll still be preparing the humble pie for March though... Even if it's for me, because I feel optimistic that just cos it's not at a particular stage in comparison to another ride doesn't automatically mean it won't open on time as scheduled...

    Only if you're part of the moderating team obviously

    That's how Marc is preventing anyone stealing the image...

    75% of teams in the Premiership are bloody awful at life... And the whole money and not giving a damn about the fan's to buy success is spreading to the Championship... Talking of which, 250k for Yannick Bolasie is the deal of the year... #betterthanzaha
  8. Benin replied to Confuzzled's topic in The Past
    I mean for the actual hotel, will it be a similar distance away from the park like Towers, or will it be just a 10 minute walk odd away? Remember, I think Snoozebox is a waste of money...
  9. Wild Maus XXL Bling ApenHotel I wanna go back and do all the funhouses after Alpen, epicness...
  10. Benin replied to Confuzzled's topic in The Past
    Will the hotel REALLY be that far away that a boat ride into the park would be worthwhile? Actually a serious question btw, would it be worth the cost of boat/staff/etc?
  11. Henry VIII will be sending us off to the boat ride... I'm not sure if Blessed will ACTUALLY be there, he is playing the character who will appear through projection techniques...
  12. Oh Raptor #betterthanswarm
  13. Benin replied to Sheepie's topic in Stuff
    3 good animated films there (Up, Dragon and Princess)... The rest are pretty meh tbh, I'll stick to having the Dark Knight trilogy on
  14. And people said I was optimistic regarding SW7 opening on time
  15. What is with the idea that longer coasters are automatically better than shorter ones? If that was right, all the American coasters would actually be good, with the Ultimate being the best ride in the world (or at least one of them)...
  16. Benin replied to Confuzzled's topic in The Past
    That's IF they are actually coloured... IF... Plus, those faces are terrifying, make them go away Thorpe... In fact, make all your current awful branding go away...
  17. Benin replied to Ricky's topic in Stuff
    Phwoar ZombiU... Actual sheer sense of panic it gave me at a point... Went to leg it then realised that would be a silly idea... Plus smacking a Zombie with a cricket bat
  18. Benin replied to Ricky's topic in Stuff
    Oh, turns out I don't have to wait till Christmas to kick things off... So that's ZombiU and Mario sorted then
  19. Benin replied to Ricky's topic in Stuff
    Mum has picked it up, it will be waiting for me at home (not that I can actually play it yet as it's TECHNICALLY a Christmas present)... Probably update it (1GB Patch ftw) and transfer the Wii stuff over though... ZombiU <3
  20. Giggity Storm at Etnaland...
  21. Benin replied to Theme Park bloke's topic in The Real World
    Like most relationships then Ohhh, that sounds like a house my mate looked at for third year, one of these fancy new cheap jobbies... Though in the end getting a proper house for 3 people for a max of £30 odd a week was nicer
  22. Benin replied to Theme Park bloke's topic in The Real World
    16 people in a house? Jesus how big are the houses in [insert name of place Josh goes to uni]? Yeah, you hear these stories about how awful people are at uni, I was very fortunate (although the lead up to the second year was only saved due to a coursemate looking for someone to live in Stoke, yay friends!), I think it's best to do it in smaller groups though to avoid situations like this... Smack him, and his 5 week long relationship...
  23. Maintenance, on MY Intamin?
  24. It's believed to be this new version, with a cable lift hill and different shaped drop (there's an image of it SOMEWHERE, but god knows)... EDIT - Aha, found it!
