It's already had a 'marriage proposal' but that was so low key I think everyone missed it...So there's still time, but for this, all that gets balanced out by the amazing pre-construction marketing and theming like THIS!

You mean they UPDATED the diary? I'll be damned...Once again top work from Thorpe, simply cannot fault them at all on this project...EDIT - Thanks to someone else pointing this out that Thorpe are thieving pikies like their guests though

More Leviathan!Hmmmmmmm NOMNOMNOMNOM!

I love you

Patience, how long has it been since the last lot? A weekend? When most likely the construction won't happen?Least we're getting something, be happy for that...

Isn't that Old Gregg?

Both Sherlock's are very good, with two beyond excellent lead actors...But Game of Shadows has STEPHEN FRY

Mark is joking regarding the rather daft discussion of the plane not being accurate when it really doesn't matter...It looks like the best scenic addition to Thorpe in YEARS! YEARS! And yet people just seem to argue over it not being a particular type of plane or being slightly incorrect... It's silly to go on about...

Coar Hercules is bloody good (Disney 90s version)... Sooooooooo under-rated like Hunchback...James Woods is probably the best Hades in cinema ever

I used to care about that...Then I got an arrow to the knee...

I couldn't care less if this was a 1997 Boeing 247 plane fuselage, that won't affect the ride because this theming is so god-damn awesome <3<3It literally looks like the tightest fit they could design... It's AMAZING <3

Pfft, learning about how to measure the ratio of gyration in long slender members using Euler's Theorum... Allowing us to find out if the steel beam will sag or be erect...Yeah, Engineering is dirty...

Not particularly difficult really is it ;)But yes, hopefully they will pull it all off and Merlin will have a much better viewpoint on ensuring that effects are working for the majority... Let's not forget people that if effects break it is not as easy as just repairing it overnight... I sense people just expect things to be automatically fixed, but even Disney can't make EVERYTHING work 100% of the time (Disco Yeti)...

BEST MEME EVER!http://www.quickmeme.com/Coaster-Enthusiast/popular/1/?upcoming

Arnie REALLY looks like Slyvester Stallone there... :|

Also confirmed Phase 2 Expansion for IOA, and that Hogwarts (and the shed ) would be going to Hollywood...Not much in the way of details about either though aside from that...

A tourist focused place in London charging high prices?! SAY IT ISN'T SO

Add to the fact Storm Surge is utter cack and yeah comparisons are a bit unfair... ;)Raptor's work as well... The fire might not be on everyday (bloody expensive and wind will factor into it's usage I reckon, a la X2), but depending on where it might be (if it DOES have fire effects) it may not really matter...Though of course, ride promotional imagery doesn't always look the same, Raptor lacks the jungle that the promo was in, doesn't make the ride any worse though...

Plus, you'd imagine that for an anniversary such as the 25th, they'd be able to think of SOMETHING major to add to the park?

Plans are up... Looks horrid tbh...Plus turning the entire area into a sea of logs? I'd rather have the Monkey Kingdom thanks...

Argh!Epic pain in behind my rib cage for NO reason! Can't even breathe or yawn without a sharp stab to it...FML

If people can't accept you for being a ride geek (or whatever term they want to use) then they can bugger off...I'm proud of my geekiness, it's not something to be hidden away anymore I've realised, it's something that I should be proud of in a way... It's a hobby that has allowed me to travel the world sampling different rides and cultures at the same time, and has given me some of the most exciting experiences for a fraction of the price driving some expensive car/bike could give me...So the next time someone teases you about this as a hobby, think about how awesome it is... Very few things are as exciting and accessible as roller-coasters...
