  1. Least Europa's throughputs can actually handle fastrack, dependant on what system they use... Watch Europa make paid fastrack amazing...
  2. It COULD happen is a lot different to an incident actually happening though... No one had fallen off Tomb Blaster's queue in how many years? One kid does and then we get 6ft fencing everywhere... The modern world is so focused on danger preventation especially after incidents actually happen, and most rides that involve going over major pathways use nets in order to prevent these risks...
  3. Dragons not duelling is more a result of the sue culture they have, cannot blame them for risk prevention when all it takes is one idiot to throw sommat at someone else and the injured person to sue them... Then court costs and a bad name... Not a good thing for any park... Any sensible park management would attempt to prevent any injuries, of course sometimes it can be overdone, but in the long run, they cannot be blamed...

    My point was more than ever since NWO opened there have been rumours like this every single year... A case of believe it when I see it... As it is every year with NWO's improvements...

    Not really... If it's the same style as a Eurofighter train, it wouldn't be exactly like two of them stuck together, more so adding two extra rows to the existing design... Would be quite small still really...

    Music

    So yeah, Muse at the O2 on Friday, that was good, decent set for lighting and Matt prancing about everywhere blaring out his guitar... As for the new album, Unsustainable has grown on me, and live was pretty much an epic opening to a gig, with Survival being at the end and again being a decent finale song, so much cheese but <3 Supremacy is also good, with Madness having an exceptional laser show, same for Follow Me... Panic Station was also well received and a bit silly... Then the slow songs happen... God they're awful on the album, and not much better live... I just cannot get myself to like them and after Explorers (I think) the crowd was extremely subdued... Shame... Still, they played the usual mob of songs as well, the classics, including one very old one I hadn't heard before, and Stockholm Syndrome... Wahey... And the best moments of the night? Well...
  8. La, la, lalalala ANIMAGIQUE! God that song...

    NOBODY KNOWS *waves hands magically*
  10. If Mark thinks Universal is a better Thorpe, I dread to think how you'd feel about Cedar Point I obviously still disagree about the whole Mummy thing... Such a fab ride <3 And also I lambast you for not seeing Despicable Me yet STILL... God sake Mark..
  11. More than that, as I'm sure it gets more people than Chessie (which is around 15k)...
  12. Those old trains also added to the overall thematic experience, Translyvania hill with those bats coming off the second lift... Sigh... I miss them... I even remember the year it was closed due to the refurb and being disappointed...
  13. Poor? Cat in the Hat... Poor? You know nothing...
  14. Didn't do Dr Seuss Land? FFS Mark.. You're rubbish...
  15. Thorpe's operations are just so poor... I mean like, Passing had a 45 minute queue when I went last week Friday... How does that happen for a timed slot system?
  16. What a weird layout... Especially the extensive tunnel... That'll cost a fortune to build...
  17. Rides working at Thorpe in February? Arguable... But considering the state of Thorpe during their Half Term times, it's too difficult to judge... The different temperatures that affect the two parks (due to location, etc) will effect each a lot differently, it's a strange one, although I'd imagine if it was really cold Thirteen and Rita would be much more likely to stall...
  18. No Sub Terra or Tea Cups is a big downer really... Dark Forest is never open early though, maybe the Hydraulics on the two attractions do not like the cold weather... Not a surprise that X Sector will not be open though...

  20. There's lots of tall flume rides in the world that don't have restraints... Let alone some of the rapids... But knowing people, it probably is a matter of time as if people are stupid enough to jump into a Rapids ride (at both Thorpe and Alton), there will eventually be someone stupid enough to do it on Storm Surge... But of course, you could probably stand in Storm Surge's pond and not have anything happen to you...

    Weird how Europa then still manage to dispatch their rides without stacking with their bag holders on their rides... Station holders only affect throughputs when people are useless at life... Such as taking off shoes and must ensuring their bags are neatly placed...
  22. All the rides were open? What about Chief Ranger's Carousel?
