  1. 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...
  2. 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...

    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...

    Bloody cosplayers...
  7. 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...
  8. 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
  9. 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...
  10. 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
  11. Say wha?Questioning why Saw is being advertised instead of Swarm is off topic now?
  12. 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...
  13. 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...
  14. This sign is NOT a rip-off... No siree bob...

    Pixar... Are doing a film... About... DINOSAURS?!!!!! *faints*
  16. What else are they gonna advertise?STORM SURGE!!! KING OF THE NON-WET WATER RIDES!
  17. 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...
  18. Storm Force 10 better than Nemesis...
  19. Merlin ARE bulk buying... Just with B&Ms rather than poxy flats
  20. Oblivion in a similar fashion, ran in such a way that was a prototype to the UK, so that would also have been a possible reason for it not working well...The double loading/unloading station that is...
  21. Benin replied to Theme Park bloke's topic in The Real World
    I moved 3/4 hours away from all my friends and colleagues, and to say that those who stay in constant touch with you are the ones who are worthwhile...Indeed, no-one has actually ever come and seen me up at uni aside from Nicky... So my friends are bloody useless really
  22. Glorified StarFlyers in my opinion...God knows if they're actually any good, but did anyone see the epic amount of warping Cedar Point's had? High wind doesn't seem to approve of these...
  23. The ride LOOKED a death-trap... And this could well be another nail in Camelot's ever growing coffin...
  24. Never do I pretend that I know something, however, often an external look can give a much more balanced opinion of it all...The way in which rules seem to change at Chessie in some cases is remarkable to me, indeed, once Bubbleworks suddenly changed to only having 4 to 5 in the middle of the season, in order to reduce throughputs... Yet the COSWP at the time said a maximum of 4... This is what I'm getting at...From the outside, it's all rather questionable why one park gets one rule whilst another park gets another... Indeed, Fury has already tried to wind me up twice this year through the whole hoodie around the waist not being allowed and then the staff taking interaction OVER throughputs... I couldn't care less about the max 3 adults since it's been going on for so long, but surely to groups who have NEVER been to the park before it looks like a poor show?I know they do have these risk assessment meetings, I'm not an idiot, but when you see a Huss pirate ship that has one rule of a minimum AGE in GERMANY, then you have to wonder about H&S in general... Indeed, Sohne spinners seem to vary so wildly as to how many adults are allowed, in some cases it's so damn random...
  25. German manufacturers that also have rides in the UK which DON'T have the same rules?Buccaneer and Blade don't follow the same rules...Spinball and Fury don't follow the same rules...I never mentioned Falls, as all the parks follow the same rules... Why would I bother using rides to back up my arguement about Chessie's rather stringent following of H&S rules?Look at it from the outside here, a group of 4 adults goes on Spinball and get on together, then go to Chessie and cannot... They have no knowledge of rides so to them, it will look like there are rather random rules from rides that are exactly the same won't it?
