9-5?Good to hear they're expanding the zoo days... Just wonder if 18 (from park close) days is enough engineering times for Bubbles to be checked over...Also good that it's two indoor rides, good show...

This pageI tell you something that annoys me, universities creating courses which have absolutely no actual credit or give you the skills to get out into the world. Take for example this;http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2010/aug/19/harry-potter-course-durham-universitySorry, but studying things like Harry Potter should be left to the English Literature people, or indeed the Language. Trying to determine social context from it won't help you get a job (which is the main purpose of uni), and this is the main reason why universities were (since with the higher fees, fewer are coming) so full, is because of poxy degrees like this which are absolute crap.

I got a Masters Degree in Engineering for THIS!Bloody excellent, been too long since an addition to the UK has gotten everyone this excited. And looked this pretty.

Inclined loop to be finished before the corkscrew then?

Awesome sauce. As Mark says, one of the best soundtracks at Thorpe and certainly suits it better than Scream's music (which is still good, just fits it's own ride rather than Detty).

Best ride you have been involved with and why?Did you think your Wing-Rider concept would be as well-received as it has been?Will you ever delve into incorporating launch technology in the future?Slightly late to be posting a topic which will be popular eh Marc?

Madagascar sponsorship? Hmmm, if Towers can't provide a decent area for Dreamworks, I doubt Chessie can with about 1/10th of the budget ;)Shall have to see on it... But something needs to be done (that also involves blowing up Truckers)...

Stealth is the more iconic ride though for the park, makes sense for them to show it off the most, especially with the whole 'MEANING' behind it...Although, the mirrored/reversed shots were just another burden in an already BURDENOUS program...

Straight outta Vinewood!Atm, I'm in a ponder as to two things:1 - Buy Arkham City2 - Buy Skyward Sword and get Dad to deliver my Wii next week in preparation for it#1stworldproblems

Wild Eagle Virtual Video...

More pics off the Facebook...This thing is looking better and better...

Me playing Amnesia...

^Wouldn't be too surprised if it shared similarities with Raptor's advert, only instead of it being set in a forest, but a desolate city.Not a bad thing though.

I agree with her, I wouldn't want to spend my wedding at a theme park... Just going too deep into the hobby... One exception would be Disney Florida, but only because they have their own church

Likes Generic Theme Park.

That is quite simply, parabolic perfection.God bless you B&M!

Booking my trip to Poland for 2014...I can see the designers now, "Which parks shall we rip off for this one?""ALL OF THEM!"

Is a northerner no matter what he says...

Make it substantial. The Saw ones don't have much surrounding the actual video portion.Providing not only backstory, but a mixture of off and on ride footage could work in a way. But make sure there's B&M roar involved. Even if it's fake.

That curve after the Zero-G.Belissimo!

I must say I agree with James, this year seemed... So different from last year... Although Hocus Pocus was as good as always... I guess the lack of new experiences that seemed to pop up every visit for me last year not happening this year (and well as the general excitement/enjoyment) just didn't happen...Maybe next year eh?

Same rules for Fright Nights. Unless you have a Premium one obviously (I would hope, if they charge a fiver for them, out of order).
