Nemesis: Sub-Terra
Think an issue with dark rides is that sometimes they are difficult to get right first time unless you've had a lot of experience with them (see: Disney and Universal), but even they sometimes don't get them right straight out the door and seek improvements... Speaking of which, I've been informed that Terra has had some further improvements, including a new briefing pre show before the lifts, and an extended ride cycle... Intriguing...

The Swarm
Opens 30 minutes early, but how long does it usually take for them to add the new train (when they also run it at least once or twice empty just to check it?)...I dunno, it's half one half dozen the other... Would rather them be prepared for the 10am rush than have to stop loading to do sommat that should really have been done at 9am that morning...

Alton Towers General Discussion
It's the same forum where some members stated that the Pleasure Beach Annual Pass was better value than the Merlin one...Need I say any more?EDIT - Yes I do, here's a picture off TTF...If that doesn't prove that it was dangerous to be in the park, I don't know what is...

Alton Towers General Discussion
Bit slow putting it out on the social sites today...Typical reimbursement there tbh... Does look a bit windy outside actually too...Shame... Maybe they can do more work on Sub Terra now though?

Alton Towers General Discussion
Source?Power cuts aren't unusual around the park, but it's weird how if it has closed due to snow, that it's settled there, whilst here in Stoke it's barely doing that...

Chessington General Discussion
It's weird how there's been no pictures taken of Jumbos yet... Maybe everyone's just so embarrassed about it no-one can bring themselves to photograph it?

Parc Asterix
It's been soft opening recently, so here's a few pics...http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyril_groue/sets/72157629726446047/with/7040031857/And also a poor quality POV...https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=353869704658747Looks like a typical B&M, fun, re-rideable and the theming is lush... I look forward to riding it...

They might not have even decided what to put there yet... Sub Terra was only really pushing forwards last year as an full fledged ride, and that's a medium investment...Let them have a break after Swarm at least...

I doubt the marquee will become redundant because of the hotel, Towers still has one, Chessie still has one...

Sub Terra is anything but a walk through... More like a 100m dash...

Nah, Saw Alive is a completely different kettle of fish to Sub Terra...Although, I wonder if such a ride would be as successful at Thorpe...

A ride isn't a ride till it's killed a pigeon...

SWARM TERRA!Blates why Merlin are using Sub Terra as a test of the waters and seeing how such a ride is to be received... Although a Thorpe version is liable to be more scary (cos it's not a family park)...

Europa Park
Looks a bit slow after the Atlantica turnaround...Of course, as we should all realise by now, POVs NEVER give the true feeling of the ride
