Most of these competitions often have a non-disclosure agreement, so even if someone on here did win, they wouldn't be allowed to mention it...Oh well, does it really matter who won? We'll all get on it eventually...

Quality wise though... It's not the best form of marketing... Especially when compared to Les and this teaser...

That's cool...I don't think Thorpe have made any major wrong steps with this ride at all (let's ignore the morphsuits and the limbs falling off )

It might be another British thing (and perhaps European as well) in that we don't really see massive birthday celebrations as worthwhile for a park... Although with Vampire's 21st last year and Ultimate apparently doing the same, this may change in the future...Tbh, all I wanted from Chessie this year was a roller coaster, or a decent new ride...

Towers did the gig, Thirteen and the Corkscrews at the entrance...That's about it

I swear like, every theme park does the over speeding thing for their ads?Thirteen did it, Colossus did it, Inferno did it, Saw did it, Stealth even probably did it...Just makes the ride look more 'extreme' to the casuals...

They're essentially the same game, so yes... Simple mistake when I don't particuarly care for either series...Point still stands, but we don't know if it's EA or Game's fault here... It's well-known that game companies want to remove the trade market from the industry, but on the other hand, Game have been renowned for being a bit awful too...Oh wells, someone will pick it up if Game die...

Game shooting themselves in the foot, considering EA have some of the biggest players in the general gaming market (Fifa and Call of Duty)...Dear oh dear...

Beautiful B&Ms <3

And it's great to see that they're celebrating the year with a FANTASTIC addition to the park!

Surely it's no worse than what we see on the Facebook pages?

I do know why rides break down, evidently even adding a wink smiley at the end of a joke doesn't mean crap...I've worked with a few of the rides at the park, and some rides are just really awful system wise, regardless of any external or internal issues... Truckers springs to mind...So yeah, thanks for the lecture that wasn't needed, most people on here understand the basics...

Explains why the ride systems are so bad then

Cos London

Maybe so, but Bendy Buses were bloody awful in a road use sense...

And Saw broke down on every single one of those days...Also, the weather will affect the queues let's not forget, Thirteen's opening was an absolute wash-out for the park due to the rain and the Uttoxeter derby... Combine that with throughput over the expected, and it ended up with 20 minute queues later on in the day...Of course, Swarm will probs have more people re-riding it (but maybe about the same amount disappointed ) throughout the day, but the simple loading should make it a relatively easy day on queues...

This could be said for most rides tbh...

It would be a bit dumb if B&M had such a flaw...The answer is of course, no, the angle in the photo is the issue here, making it seem like less material than the actually is... Let's not be so silly as to think that people would be able to touch the track whilst on the ride, any good design team will have sorted that first and foremost...

The whole ride just shows what happens when a park puts in zero effort into adding a ride... In a way it actually looks WORSE than any car park coaster, which is quite an achievement...Just goes to show that sometimes, it's just not worth adding a new ride...

The turn looks like a more epic version of Apollo's Chariot's one...DO WANT! But it means going to awful Salou

They don't NEED music to be epic

Rammstein concert last night was amaze <3Fireballs, flamethrowers, fireworks, explosions, steam, platforms, bridges, giant penis cannon... Made of win

Faker than fake...EDIT - Also...

27k is bloody good tbh... Could easily live off that...Better than the average 16k most graduates seem to go and do... Maybe I'm ruling out that too early?
