  1. A moment that will forever stay with me... The staring people watching me dance in the control box after my first full load on Truckers... Memories...

    The Smiler

    Not really rushed is it? And besides, as Dan said, it's good to see that location actually getting something rather than a rotting corpse...
  3. Again... The park is not that stupid to close their major new addition that everyone will run to so they can get the fire effects (which whilst may well make a difference are not that necessary atm) working... Or indeed turning them on...
  4. Cedar Fair don't use vibrant colours? Could be going anywhere... Even Asia wouldn't be a bad shout at this time... Patience indeed with this...
  5. Less than 200 people an hour... Soul sucking doesn't even begin to describe the emotions felt operating it alone... And that was BEFORE Fastrack...

    Depends what kind of things really, it's hard to tell sometimes with plans what would be good or not...

    Not faffing about are they?

    2013 Changes

    The Thorpe Flyer decision may well have also have been the result of the problems that Air had (and still to a degree has)... If you believe other rumours as well, Saw was intended for Chessie in a sense until the Merlin deal went through... So there's a whole mixture of potential reasons as to why things were and weren't built... Indeed, the list of potential planned rides easily outnumbers the list of rides that actually got built...
  9. Not sure how true this is, but some bad times for Verbolten... http://bgwfans.com/?p=1825
  10. All the cool kids are doing it these days... Some for fun, some because they thought it'd be a good idea to make his university project be associated with rides...
  11. Maybe the queue cover can work to the advantage when it gets burnt to the ground? More wood to get the fire stoked and ready to melt the bloody thing... Personally, I would get rid of Trucks, Berries, Toadies, Madhouse, Playhouse and Capers and just fill the resulting space with a few more flats/assorted things that improve the park throughput... And it's likely that only two rides would actually balance it out...
  12. Holy crap at the 6g spike... Trying to work out where that might be on the ride... But yeah Inferno has always been reasonably forceful, but of course, every Invert ever in compared to Nemesis... Bless it, so inoffensive yet derided...
  13. Why would Sub Terra need one of those signs, that's only there because it's Soft Opening... One thing the all year around parks can do, whilst the UK parks just have to risk it for a biscuit come opening day...
  14. Walt Disney Studios... Original California Adventure... No one company is perfect...
  15. Dunno, it might be possible to get one as Huntik opened in Italy last year, Universal do not have the rights to this ride system (see also: BGW and DarKastle)... Universal just have the money to plunge onto these unfortunately... And I can't see any of our parks having one of these really... Unless Towers removed Charlie with this...
  16. They still need to remove half the rides in the park and replace them with things with actual through-puts though... IF the safari thing manages 1000 an hour, that's one thing, but the actual park side of the thing needs to get rid of anything below 500 pph and get things above that figure... Wonder how people feel when they queue 45 minutes for Truckers...
  17. Pirate show was there last year, the other new thing is the scare maze (which has had barely any details come out)... Also pretty late with this

    SAW: Alive

    I like how two things can instantly displace the new found love (in the shape of a B&M) of a couple of enthusiasts (N.B. not just on here)... Oh Thorpe...

    SAW: Alive

    Either to Germany or maybe we'll have some Swarm actors milling about peak season... That would be nice...
  20. Shame it ends the day before my birthday then... Now THAT would have been a present and a half...

    SAW: Alive

    One thing I can say to this really should this be true... LOL...
  22. I highly doubt Thorpe will close the ride to test effects... They'll work them during closed hours...

    Football

    Lol, that's so awful, only catches the leg because Young moves it towards him... Least Palace are having a bland end to the season... Makes a change from the last two...
