Sea World San Diego's Manta looks good... Chessie need to get a clone of this...

Rumba Rapids
London Eye sign is located in Calypso BBQ, been there for donkey's years, probs since Tussauds brought it... That sign is some form of dedication as well... Not sure who too though off the top of my head...

London Dungeons
Lot of stuff won't be moving most likely (Extremis won't be for example, different system at the Hall site), and the post Christmas time isn't the most busiest (Eye sees most refurb during this time)... They'll stagger the opening but it won't be too much of an issue...

Well, he'll be asleep for most of it so that'll help...

Awww, gotta go on the last day surely?

Weather Affected Rides
Usually in the UK we're not toooooo bad for running rides in heavy rain, although they will indeed hurt a lot (especially Stealth)... Thunder is a different matter, and excessive heavy rain may indeed cause closure to some rides... It's a risky thing really...

Now THAT, is quality...

Bracing doesn't help me for either of the two, but as I said, I've not had such an issue with the other Eurofighters that I have ridden...

But not only is the 10 looper just as painful as Saw, all the other ones made by that manufacturer aren't even rough... So that argument doesn't even make any sense to me...

Eh, World of Colour and Disney Dreams are certainly better... As pluk said, it lacks a story and doesn't really capture me... Just a bit meh really... I'm sure they'll improve it later, but at the moment, just not really that interesting when it's just an advert...

No fooling, that's another beautiful set of B&Ms...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Not sure how true this is, but some bad times for Verbolten... http://bgwfans.com/?p=1825

Nemesis Inferno
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...

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...

Nemesis Inferno
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...
