Alton Towers Meet 2012
A days leave for the kids at school/college before the school holidays? I'm sure those wanting to do well in their exams want to do that...Towers is perfectly acceptable to do on a weekend if a trip is planned well... And a weekend/holiday are days that would suit the majority of people...For the record, I'd be anytime on this... Not at all fussed...

Park Music
I would still imagine that not EVERYONE in Staines and beyond enjoy the so called music that is played at the entrance...

Don't think so cos they're much easier to access through public transport...

THE SWARM: Preview Event?
Considering Raptor barely had any issues and is as simple as a normal coaster I doubt Swarm will have much problem on opening...B&M

DiVertical layout concept art...- Oblivion
Blivvy is still the best DM in the world, by far... SheiKra didn't do anything for me, Griffon was slightly better and Krake was fun...I think for the two American ones, part of it is the first drop being so big and that as you said Adam, all the elements are large and drawn out... The only element on Blivvy like that, is the overbanked turn after the drop, but since that's literally the journey back to the station, it doesn't really affect the ride...I dunno, it might be UK bias, but I think the American DMs missed the point of the ride, whilst Krake kinda remembered it in a way...- THE SWARM: Construction Updates
The pathways are still going to be an awful cluster of people... Would not look forward to the busy days like with Saw when that first opened...- Parc Asterix
Whilst not that well versed in Asterix comic lore, I can guess he's a big character in the Egyptian books...This park though- Parc Asterix
Official Logo and Concept Art!If it turns out like that, this should be an excellent addition to Asterix...- THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Not seeing what the fuss is about not having a food stall in the Swarm area...You know, not like there's a new B&M there or something which will matter a lot more than being able to get some burgers or whatever...- THE SWARM ERT - FRIDAY 23RD MARCH
^ Personally I probs won't be arriving for 12 (since I would have to leave at 8/9am and well, effort ), and then riding Swarm once when I get there before meeting up, otherwise I'll have nothing to discuss with everyone else (after all, most people will be hitting the park a LOT in that first week, whilst I will not)...- THE SWARM: Construction Updates
^Nah, I have no problem with news reporters riding it (aside from Towers' decision to keep it secret THEN reveal it a day before opening), because it gets the ride out there... The worst thing on the Thirteen segment was the ECC people looking positively bored...Celebs getting to ride it though whilst everyone else looks on is out of order though... They can have their celeb nights or whatever, but the park shouldn't bend over backwards for them... (I would be horrible in GS, since I wouldn't give them exit passes on the basis of being famous )- Music

Being an enthusiast =/= expert...I believe many posts of sarcasm have not translated well onto the site, but that's life...Either way, Wossy was wrong, but probably to provide some TERRIFYING PR for the ride, rather than to give out facts... Besides how many of the GP actually care about all the facts and figures of the ride? The majority at Thorpe will call it "THAT BIG WINGED THINGY INNIT BRUVVVVVVVVVVVV" anyways, so they might as well have said it goes at lightspeed, back to the future, gives you a cuppa and then gives you dental surgery...tl;dr... IT WON'T KILL/MAIM/INJURE ANYONE DELIBERATELY, OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE SHUT QUICKER THAN SAW BROKE DOWN ON OPENING DAY!!!!!11- Feedback of the Forums
Was the error message "Sorry, did you want to talk in Skype?"- Alton Towers General Discussion
Ring them up for MAP discounts...- THE SWARM ERT - FRIDAY 23RD MARCH
Gotta take the plunge sometime... Besides, most of us are nice- THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Yeah obviously the ride will maim as many people as possible... Cos you know, B&M are bored of Intamin getting all the injuries and incidents on their rides and want in...- The Big Bad Movie Topic
The MuppetsAhhh the Muppet films are very hit and miss in general, with such classics as Christmas Carol to iffy ones like Muppets From Space, however, this film is much more a homage towards the original Show, which only helps the film to become very good...It's amazing how emotional this film can be considering 99% of the cast are made of felt and ping pong balls, yet due to the addition of Walter, Jason Segal and Amy Adams, an extra dimension to the film is added, and with the great acting from Segal and the relatively under-used Adams gives a human element to the proceedings...Having had some experience growing up with the Muppets, this film is definitely made for the older Muppet fans, whilst introducing younger ones to the chaos... Some great scenes, some great cameos makes it an excellent family film that many will enjoy...8/10 - Parks, Rides And Coaster News
