Banned for thinking that YMAS are the best British band of all time... Seriously better than Queen? Utter lunacy!

Urgh, Saw might not involve head banging the restraints, but it sure as hell rattles heads like no tomorrow... Another ride that I'll never really bother with...

Of course, but considering barely anyone on here has done anything not Merlin owned or Florida, I guessed Aussie parks would be even more unlikely

16 people at most... This ride is going to have HORRENDOUS throughput considering it'll probs take a fair bit to get to the top of it... Oh wells, gonna be an unique experience if Superman launches along when you're on it...

Staff will never give distinct reasons in such a case, so there's not much that can be done about it... Just to keep things from getting over the top really...

I trust you pushed her in front of a bus for her ignorance?

Hell, keep the guns and call it a "defense simulator"... Which also goes wrong and involves an actual Swarm attack... Btw Thorpe Management, should you wish to use this idea, please send all royalty payments to my offshore bank account...

Why when it already has Tomb Blaster? Doesn't need two dark rides where random shooting does nothing Actually... Vengeance being retro-fitted to slot into the Swarm theme? Might not be the worst shout

Banned for being a hipster...

It's (unfortunately) not that cheap and/or easy to get to... Unless you like Ryanair and can get to Stansted at silly times of the day of course... On my booked trip I'm flying to Basel from Gatwick through EasyJet and booking (eventually) a shuttle to get us to the park hotel... Hotels for 3 nights start from 606 euros for two adults, not including park tickets... Bound to be a few B&Bs in Rust though, where you could probs walk to the park from... HOWEVER, it is worth it...

Lookie what I saw on park today...

Depends whether they lock during the actual ride...

As big as that place is, I doubt they could fit Tussauds in...They also don't own it, as a fair few non-Merlin things have been there for years, including Hotels, Namco, McDonalds, etc...

You can see it sitting at the top of the tower, smiling as it welcomes another murderer into the fold...

Fortunately having a ride like Terra/Alien Encounter would mean that costs of running it per hour in comparison to Saw Alive would probably be cheaper... Horray for not needing lots of expensive actors!

Apparently it can get 850pph... But looking at POVs it just looks boring and very much more a spectator ride... HANG ON! THAT MAKES IT JUST LIKE A TOP SPIN!

Never ridden it... Of course, I believe a water ride shouldn't rely on external effects to get you wet either...

Someone else has found this, but Merlin have applied for planning permission to add a Dungeons attraction into County Hall, right by the Aquarium and the Eye... This is... strange and interesting for the future of the London Bridge ones themselves, are they to be removed for this version? Or both kept? Can have a mosey at the plans here: http://planning.lambeth.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=externalDocuments&keyVal=LY9MTDBOHV000

For Thorpe or Chessie? As I have a list as long as my arm for the latter... Thorpe, it does need a good quality dark ride, but then again you have to ask if it would suit the target audience? Here in lies the issue really, they've put themselves in such a position in which a dark ride to the scale of say, Huntik (3D and lasers) wouldn't need to be outrageously themed because really, it'd be seen as very much a family esque ride, unless they pulled another Saw (Eurofighters remember are normally 1.2m restriction) or Sub Terra and make it 'scary'... Flat rides on the other hand do suit Thorpe, but there aren't many reliable ones in the world these days that don't already exist at the park... Gotta think in terms of space and throughput, and there aren't very many flats that have a high throughput... Fabbri Boosters have that issue, Huss Topple Towers are unreliable as well as the Jump 2 (one of which is also a boring ride really, dunno about the other)... What else is there? The park needs more throughput munching rides for the busier summer months... A ZacSpin would be unique to the UK and we can see what the fuss is all about, but then what? I have a feeling Thorpe's future is going to be interesting when it's reaches the peak of ability to expand... Probably going to start looking like Blackpool...

Unfair to say that there are similarities between Nemesis and Sub Terra because well, they've used an extension of an existing backstory and moved to enlarge it... And tbh, I much prefer Merlin's stories to places like Six Flags and Cedar Fair... At least we get attempts at stories here... Agree with the hype machine for Thirteen though, and the PR stunts which have been completely stupid... (BO, limb loss, etc)...

Storm Surge?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh those are some LUSH colours...

Damned if they do and damned if they don't really... Of course only those with insider info will know the full story, and of course serious incidents are unlikely to come into the fore so the reasoning behind this (to the majority) will be unknown... Therein lies the problem, they cannot reveal the reasoning, but because of that it seems stupid for them to implement this idea...

Banned for being ginger...

It has been done before, but why should another park have a big ride removed so another can have it? This isn't Six Flags... It's just simply not a brilliant idea, and it's bad enough Chessie don't get anything already, it doesn't need another Peeking Heights...
