    Get rid of NWO, the Arena, Storm Surge and even Slammer and Ranger County... That's enough space for a major coaster, maybe even two... And a smattering of flats...
  2. It does look a bit turdio... And likely to stall after the MCBR... Hell if it splashes down at the bottom of the first drop it might even stall before then...
  3. Looks fine to me, if slightly unfinished inside... Indeed, surely they should close off the indoor section a la Thirteen? Either way, it looks like a rather decent ride, considering the target market, the finale after the drop is a bit rubbish though, and you don't stop at the penguin enclosure... Indeed, the last point is perhaps the WORST SIN KNOWN EVER TO MAN!
  4. Says ride is improved but doesn't change rating of it... Sounds very logical...
  5. X-Flight's keyhole element seems complete... Looks rather snazzy and fits the ride quite well...

    Avengers Joss Whedon is SUCH a fab writer and director, he was a the perfect choice for this film and it really shines through... The characters all share a good amount of screen time and one liners, with no one character being focused on (which was a worry from fans as that Iron Man would get all the fun)... But some good development of smaller characters and lovely shots during the big fight scene showed a great piece of technique... Mark Ruffalo was also exceptionally good as Bruce Banner, and had probably the best one liner in the entire film... Great fun, great writing, great views of Scarlett Johansson's boobies... 9/10
  7. And that road already gets a fair amount of congestion... It's horrid around park close...
  8. Seems to be an issue with tall rides that they just lack some actual length because the cost is offset by the cost of building sommat that reaches 300ft... This ride needs a couple more airtime hills and it'd be fine... Now though, just seems even more pointless, especially with the existance of Behemoth...
  9. Sea World San Diego's Manta looks good... Chessie need to get a clone of this...

    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...
  11. 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...
  12. Well, he'll be asleep for most of it so that'll help...
  13. Awww, gotta go on the last day surely?
  14. 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...
  15. 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...
  17. Benin replied to th13teen's topic in UK Attractions
    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...
  18. 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...
  19. The one car that didn't move had the kid in it... Bless his confused face <3
  20. No fooling, that's another beautiful set of B&Ms...
  21. 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...
  22. Benin replied to th13teen's topic in UK Attractions
    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...
  23. Benin replied to JoshC.'s topic in General Discussion
    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...
  24. 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...
  25. 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...
