Benin

Mmmmmm Kambeleo indeed...9/10

If it's like Raptor, it will be un-noticeable/improve the ride experience even more as dashing around those elements would not have been anywhere near as effective.

TRIM!Also, looks nommy.

BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS!

3D? DVD? It's no Lion King...

This is AWESOME!

Laughed way too much at this...

It's quite tricky to compare them as they are both rather different. What Dollywood's does (or to be more accurate, will) have is an amazing landscape underneath with lots of potential near misses with the trees that should eventually grow back. Something that Thorpe doesn't have anywhere on the park.Two very different experiences really; at least Dollywood's is unique, eh?

Season 2 is even better... Made me laugh out loud a LOT more than season 1... Shame in a way the premise only sets it up for 4 (5 at a stretch) seasons...But then again, stops it from becoming stale...

Yummy...

BUMP...Go watch Community people, it's brilliant off-the-wall stuff, with plenty of spoofs and silliness going on every episode... Not the best episode example, but, it's worth it for season 2's Halloween episode and double bill finale, and the paintball episode in season 1... Plus Alison Brie

I lol'd.They might be quenching it. Yeah. That's why. The steel was too hot and slightly out of the correct shape, so in order to cool it, they plonked it in the water for a bit.Or they just messed up.

Because it's YOU holding him ;)Still, cute dog IS cute... 7/10

DO WANT!

But... It SAYS "My Chemical Romance"?Colour me confused... So you can have 5/10...

Since no new coasters are on the horizon, time for the end of 2011 season results. 1 - Nemesis (Alton Towers) 2 - Katun (Mirabilandia) 3 - Revenge of the Mummy (Universal Studios Florida) 4 - The Beast (Kings Island) 5 - Tonnere de Zeus (Parc Asterix) 6 - Top Thrill Dragster (Cedar Point) 7 - Fluch von Novgorod (Hansa Park) 8 - Megaphobia (Oakwood) 9 - Duelling Dragons : Ice (Islands of Adventure) 10 - Kumba (Busch Gardens Africa) As a quick break-down, two new entrants, one from each trip abroad hop in, with Fluch initially at number 6 (as mentioned before) due to the excellent story, theme and layout. Katun on the other hand just came in and promptly stood up to Nemesis bold as brass and went, "HELLO, I'M AS GOOD AS YOU ARE", and effectively went into joint first. However, for the purposes of the list, it's second, as Nemesis nicks it for the landscaping factor. And what about the manufacturer breakdown? Well.4 - B&Ms (including 3 Inverted)3 - CCI Wooden coasters1 - Premier1 - Gerstlauer1 - IntaminAnd two new ones missed out this year, both from Italy, Gardaland's Raptor, and Mirabilandia's iSpeed, which were both excellent coasters, but Raptor just didn't have that extra edge in what is a very difficult area, and iSpeed's restraints prevented it from being the 10 it's layout deserved.So in that list, only 3 coasters remain that don't have the 'perfect' Benin marks... Needless to say, it's getting harder and harder to do a top 10. But that's all part of the fun for me.

Did someone mention Queen? One of (if not THE) greatest rock bands of all time... Freddie Mercury <3

Thorpe's marketing team (for the ride, NOT the PR stunts) need to be commended for this.

^Swarm will probs open first, as generally the American parks open later on in the year compared to us and Europe...Dunno which will finish first though...

This happened to me on one of my last visits as well... Sometimes you forget how truly idiotic people can actually be...

If Swarm doesn't have a soundtrack to the same level as Raptor or Krake (hell, even Reset at Mirabilandia), then they will have missed a trick...Bring back the old entrance music I say, as I was humming it the other day...
