Yes...I do actually make comments based on experience you know... I HATE cringe/fart comedy, so it was never going to work on me...Wilfred on the other hand, has been quite amusing with some of the funniest one-liners ever...

Down all day today :DAnd Frazzle needs some TLC... Stolen off Peep

Tomb Blaster
Gonna bring this topic back for a quick discussion about the ride (or more specifically, the theming)...Now my blaster was broken so I was semi-forced into riding the ride as it was originally designed to, and you know what, the theming that is on this ride is bloody brilliant... It seemed a LOT darker today especially in the skeleton corridor (whether this is due to new lighting or closing the shutters I'm not sure), which really upped the atmosphere...Of course, the ride isn't perfect, but the scenery and theming, is bloody spot on and rarely gets complimented...To the Studios...

Angry Boys looked like some of the worst pieces of programming BBC 3 has ever seen...Which is certainly saying something...

Parc Asterix
http://www.potionmagix.fr/forumix/nouvelle-zone-attraction-2012-parc-asterix-t1271-1150.htmlIt would appear the layout is finished... Now for the theming, which if the rest is the park is any indication, should be suitably awesome...

I recorded and watched BBC Three's coverage of Muse...Not much has changed since their setlist last year, though apparently they didn't show ALL of it... Still bloody amazing to watch though and really reminded me how awesome they are live... When they touring proper again?

Madame Tussauds London
Quite dead towards the end of the day as well... Still though, I've never really understood the popularity/point of it, and would personally never have been if it weren't free...

Alton Towers General Discussion
Proof to everyone that B&M are the much better manufacturer...18% of people voted for the Intamins... Says it all to me... Rides over 10 years old beating the new blood... Brilliant...

Alton Towers Trip Reports
The boat ride is awful, especially so when NONE of the 3 characters meant to be seen on the ride, aren't seen...The ride is an embarassment... Even with the lifts (and TV room) being cool, it's not worth the effort... Next on the chopping board it should be...

- Doctor Who
Well, wasn't Hitler the most POINTLESS thing ever...I'm sorry, but this series has really unimpressed me... Too much blabber and action with very little of traditional Who based times... It's that child who just keeps fidgeting the entire time in class because it just can't settle... ANNNNND that was the most mis-leading title ever... Hitler got put in a cupboard and was never seen again... No wonder we won the war...P.S. The trailer involves Rory mentioning he's died again...- Random

- Chessington General Discussion
This insuinates that Chessie stick to their own plans for more than a month...Which is apparently from what I'm told, not always the case unfortunately.. They really need to stick with one thing and expand on it... The zoo is nice guys, but STOP FOCUSING ON IT...- Thorpe Park Blows It Up
The Ultimate Fireworks show?Thought that was trademarked by Towers... Well, as long as it's all my favourite fireworks in one, then it's good then- Chessington General Discussion
Chessie asking people for a 5 year plan on Facebook...Not sure if it's a good or bad thing... Especially when people want rides like Saw and Stealth going in...- Parks, Rides And Coaster News
Bear in mind Mark that the text I posted was a Google Translate, so some words might not be 100% accurate...Intamin prototype Dive Machine would be interesting... Still probably be 'breaking boundaries' even if they're ripping off B&M- SAW: The Ride
Say wha?Questioning why Saw is being advertised instead of Swarm is off topic now?- Parks, Rides And Coaster News
Talking of B&M, another possible entry into the European mob next year at Mirabilandia... 4 new B&Ms in one year for Europe? Winning...- SAW: The Ride
A name out of context means nothing to the majoirty though...Thorpe will advertise Swarm in Jan/Feb next year... They'll have enough testing footage (and other bits) to actually show off the ride to the public, rather than just go, "The Swarm is coming" and that's it... It would more confuse than intrigue people who don't know about it's existence...- Octopus Gardens Rides
This sign is NOT a rip-off... No siree bob...- The Big Bad Movie Topic
Pixar... Are doing a film... About... DINOSAURS?!!!!! *faints*- SAW: The Ride
What else are they gonna advertise?STORM SURGE!!! KING OF THE NON-WET WATER RIDES!- Your Top 10 rides in the UK(including flat rides)
But the topic sub-title says to debate... And let's be honest, that's a weird list, I'd like to see the reasons why StormForce 10 is considered that good personally... - Doctor Who
