What part of investment doesn't the park's management understand?Just bored of it now... Get some great ideas for redevelopment, plans submitted, approved, cancelled due to lack of funds... Someone involved with the park (be it the park themselves OR Merlin) needs to pull their finger out and get a shift on...Or sell it... Cos atm, it's going absolutely nowhere and I don't really want to see the park decaying further and further anymore...

Paultons are building something...www.theresnosmokewithoutfire.comWhat... Dunno, but nice to see them continuing the expansion...

Really? A foreign park would use it's own language instead of ours? Learn something new everyday I guess...I'm just unsure how it sounds in my head... It doesn't sound like a roller-coaster by my tastes... Voooooodarn just sounds like a play on Wooden... Quite unimaginative in a way...Personally, hope it's not that... Just doesn't fit...

Dazza :wub:Great reception at the match for Speed as well... Thought it was going to be a minute's silence, but the applause was just as good... Amazing how everyone is supporting the incident in this way... Brilliant to see...Of course, it was the most noise the United fans made all game... 5000 people drowned out 47000 without so much of an effort...

Ticking ALLLLLL the right boxes with this Thorpe.Simply not a fault with this ride at all, brilliant stuff. Let us hope that this level of theming continues not only for Thorpe, but across the Merlin parks as a whole.Wonder what all the Merlin haters are thinking right now.

Lol wut?That is... Well... Erm...Not sure...

Could be worse...I'd rather this random Lezbo stuff than some crap celeb being strung onto it for absolutely no reason...I'm indifferent to it... In a way it does work in amongst the overall theme and story, and these sort of videos do exist from crackpots like the character Lez is protraying... But on the other hand it does seem rather cheap in the filming style and the like...Both good and bad really... But as I said, at least 'Thrill Scientist' Brendan or some dodgy awful celeb hasn't been tagged onto it yet...

^Complaints have been made and the bint was arrested yesterday...<3 Internet

Can we have a facepalm emoticon?Like this:

I knew about Tobuscus, but the rest of the post is true...Back in my day of course, the only meme was Hamster Dance <3

Millenium Force at least uses it's height and hasn't needed to be retracked...Blue Tornado or Limit?

So Lez is part of the Swarm then?Ah I swear she said Lezzers... Swear...

Both...Croydon leading the way in race relations once more!But yeah, that kid stopped her getting beaten to an inch of her life... Some VERY restrained people there looking in the background of that tram... I DETEST people like that you probably do even less than some of the immigrants who actually do work and pay taxes... Pop out a baby and not bothering to work gets you money in this country... No sense...Broken Britain...

When I posted there WAS NO OPTION! THE GAME WAS BROKEN!Regardless, Tobuscus is AMAZING <3Neither, I'm a rock/metal person, just not my thing...Speaking of which, Germany or France?

^Since you don't bother posting a new one I'll repeat the one you missed...Snakes or Ladders?

What a horrid question, it's like asking me what I condone, cheating on your wife or doing drugs...Neither, both scum...Snakes or Ladders?

OMG new logo!!!1 :oActually pretty snazzy...

It's ok... You didn't Against a GCI? Norfolk in chance...

Sidders a late entry for Funniest Member?

I'm going to take this moment to be sombre and philosphical, but don't know what topic is suitable for it, anyone want to move it, be my guest...Today it was discovered that the Welsh National Team Football Manager Gary Speed was found dead in his home, the cause? Suicide.This is a man who only yesterday had appeared on national tv and was happy talking about his work, family and life in general, a man who was a legend in the game, mutually respected by many, and had left his mark on former team-mates both domestically and nationally.He was also bringing in a new era to Welsh football, so was on such a rise.Yet commited suicide.Some deaths cause you to think really hard about life and put things into real perspective, here we have a family man, with a well paid job, yet evidently something behind the scenes was up to such a degree that it cause him to commit suicide.We as humans always require social support for emotional and physical aspects of life, yet how do we feel when we have no support? It feels terrible when you lose friends and feel like you have no-one to talk to, and it can literally affect anyone and everyone, age, race or gender doesn't come into this at all when it comes to such a thing as depression and it can quickly spiral into something much worse if it isn't caught onto to quickly.Depression is something that I feel that no-one notices until it's too late, because of today's event I have contacted a friend of mine about this and informed them to talk to me if they ever feel really down, because I want them to know that there will always be at least one person they can turn to no matter what, if they don't think anyone is there for them, they always have that one person available for anything and everything.I implore everyone here to keep a close eye on their friends because of how silent depression can be, and how deadly and effective it can be on not just the person who is depressed, but family and friends who did not know they were.And if you do feel exceptionally down and upset, try your best to talk to anyone about it. Even a doctor if there is no-one else. By they friends, family or professionals, there is always someone out there to be there for you, it's just a case of finding them first.Sorry for being downcast here, but I feel that some things need to be said in these times, and that we all need someone to be there for us when things aren't quite right. Considering we all here have a common bond for theme parks and rides, some of the most fun things in the world, we all share a common passion and can discover friends in the strangest of places throughout these realms of internet forums and the like. It's probably the hardest thing in the world to first admit to anyone, no matter how close how you might be feeling, but once you do, you'll realise that there are so many people who do give a damn.Thankyou for reading.

Photos can be excessively deceiving though, just look at some of the Swarm ones.This is why judging rides by photos is never going to give anyone the entire experience.It still looks amazing, dunno who's moaning about the colour though. Evidently that's the new thing for enthusiasts to complain about...

Probs cos it is just a slightly bigger B&M Hyper?
