    Depends on what this ride is... If it's indoor then they would be no noise issues to speak of as long as the building was correctly sound proofed (unlike Black Hole's tent when the coaster was there in some cases)...

    IF this is SW7 (I am yet to be fully convinced), they better not take anything away from Oblivion... It would be such a shame for the park to have Oblivion lose everything that it does so well it being intimidating and what-not...Hopefully the plans will be about soon... Could be a good New Years with WLB being announced, plans for SW7 would be the icing on the cake...
  3. If it looks as good as Thirteen's then we are well and truly onto a winner here...It's MASSIVE! Like HUGE! Potentially the tallest station ever... Love it
  4. That's quite cool, like looking at old plans and seeing what did and didn't make it... Looking at Inferno's original bland old station compared to now for example, Colossus' original entrance was between the Cobra Roll...*Prays for Staffordshire to do the same*
  5. OMG! This actually looks SO amazing and it's not even finished for another year yet :wub:EDIT - Just saw a videoed trailer for Ridley Scott's "Definitely NOT an Alien prequel" Prometheus, adding another to the awesome 2012 films list...

    Not going to get excited until pictures appear, as it could well be anything at this time...
  7. Mental Vortex is mental...Wonder why KMG don't sell more park models... Some of them could be really good additions to a few parks...Innnnn other news, Heide Park are back to Krake's Mouth Tunnel thing on the drop after the construction faults last year...
  8. ^I prefer it when people generalise Merlin in a good light though, rather than being constant negative...Yeah Raptor's is very low key (indeed only the 'guns' change light, making little difference to the station), but it does work really well... It's hard to tell for Swarm really but as it's a church I would imagine say an organ and maybe a jet scream to represent the aliens if they followed a similar style... With Air like lighting of course...
  9. We can only hope that the Swarm announcements are anywhere as truly AMAZING as Raptor's <3Dispatch theme... Would depend on the look of the station, Raptor didn't have one (in the traditional sense) but it didn't lose anything for not having any music... Instead a light change and sound effects worked enough for it...
  10. Would imagine it would be specially composed, especially with Krake and Raptor being absolutely brilliant soundtracks...
  11. Sorry, but that list is quite simply wrong...Lack of Avengers and Dark Knight Rises amongst probs a few others if I bothered looking at my Empire magazine atm...

    Television

    Nicky's been watching American Horror Story and said I should watch it... Might give it a go eventually after exams...
  13. Gonna mention I saw this from the M25 (for all of two seconds whilst going faster than Stealth) and with the AWFUL weather, it looks bloody good... Gonna be yet another ride that looks as fab in crap weather as in bright blue sky...Nom Nom Nom B&M <3
  14. Bollocks, loads of people will turn up for opening time on opening day, even if it IS just a sea of enthusiasts, there will certainly be a packed entrance plaza come March.It doesn't need speeches from management; just pyro, actors and music. Get a quick 5 minute story going at the front gates, get everyone excited about it. So what if it's a one off, it would make the day so much more special.Pomp and circumstance IS something this country can do (Will & Kate), if the park's started making more of a deal about their rides opening in even just a simple way (rather than letting Wossy ride it in front of us all), then it WOULD make so much more difference. It just up to our parks to make the effort rather than just go, "oh yeah, this is open now, have fun in the 2 hour queue".Also, Garda's entrance theme <3 Why can't we be like that? (Aside from the Nation Anthem, sod that )
  15. Tasty pictures AWAY!Even MOAR pictures can be seen at http://www.chris-space.net/?incvar=bilder.php&path=news%2F2012%2F2011_12_18%2F
  16. I tried to put a pic in my signature recently and it said absolutely NO pictures...So dunno what's up with that then...
  17. Swarm will be naturally more exciting to basically everyone here as it's local rather than £3000 away (AND in Canada)...But they are two very different rides and both excite me in their own separate ways... Leviathan because should it be well received it could hopefully push more B&M's breaking 300ft, and Swarm because it's showing how successful their WingRider concept is as well as being easily the best addition to the UK in yonks...
  18. Yes Katun!Lack of Huntik :(Don't care about anything else...
  19. First drop looks fab...Shame about the trains and the fact your neck will be battered to pieces by the end of it...

    It's not Christmas until I've seen Wallace & Gromit...Wrong Trousers
  23. Thing is for the park as well it's really confusing, as they have a Flume, Rapids, Shoot the Chute AND Depth Charge... Considering people originally said that Pilgrim's Plunge was a water ride that didn't get you wet, it's very much a questionable addition to what is otherwise a really good park...Unless of course they want to make Katun look even BETTER... In which case this is perfect
