Swear (like Kevin) that it always shuts after summer...Tbh though, it needs to go as it really doesn't suit the park anymore... But really, I wouldn't like it to be replaced by a ride, but some form of general entrance type thing... Allowing a nice area to sit or sommat...Maybe get a fountain... Fountains would be good...

YOU'LL BE SEEING YOUR BREAKFAST AGAIN.... BLEH!!!

It was a random assortment of kids playground things...Was actually epic back in the day, but Action Man lost it's popularity so it's death was to be expected...Oh well, least we have Playhouse and Capers now...

A double bill on Sunday...Super 8Tbh, I wasn't sure what to expect from this film, but damn it was just good... It was just a great mix of acting, visual effects and storytelling, with the kids proving that they have an excellent future in the business... It was a good old fashioned Spielberg film even with Abrams directing, and there was just really nothing wrong with it...Family film with plenty of jumps and scares, but not being off-putting to kids aside from the beastie's look (Abrams likes them he does)... Plus the train crash of epicness is just awesome...9/10Rise of the Planet of the ApesAgain a film I wasn't expecting much on, what with the history of this franchise being mixed and what-not... But again, there was a very good film within, and rather realistic, considering the subject matter... The animation was very well done and rarely did you think the animated apes were awful to look at... A rather slow and ponderous start led up to a final frantic 30 minutes (like Super 8 in fact) but it meant a well developed story and characters were allowed to breathe next to our primate relatives...Andy Serkis has been typecast as well... But still, a very good actually enjoyable film that actually makes you think about our attempts to create genetic superiority without thinking of the side effects... Damn dirty science corporations!8/10

There's BOGOFs EVERYWHERE atm I swear... Every advert I see on tele has sommat Merlin attached to it...

^Judging by reviews of Raptor neither side will be rough... It's traditional B&M smooth and flow... Hmmm, wonder if a trim will be put on and how much panic it will cause...

Oh god... That makes me feel old... Lush is such a relatively young shop brand and I remember the pomp and circumstance of it opening in Croydon only a few years ago...Bleh...On topic... It smells weird... Not my thing really...

They're BOTH awful...Pirates was better though... But that's not hard... A dancing beetle for 20 minutes would be more entertaining than Time Voyagers...

Yes you would be banned from the park FOREVER.........In seriousness, the only things I guess Thorpe would look out for (if they cared) would be flashing, gang signs and other such nonsense... Not a small phone which could be easily hidden...

I don't...It wasn't great, even with the decent cast... But what's the point in 4D cinemas at parks nowadays when 3D is such a prominent thing now...

Interesting sweeping statement to make on a forum when not everyone is scared of it...

It's a spare, since Rita proved to be a rather annoying ride and was often down to 1 train in it's opening, Thorpe elected for the third train to ensure that 2 train operation occurred at a regular basis...

Vampire on two trains for summer it seems... Annoying...Nothing else to report so far...

Don't know, don't mind I believe here...They've really downed the number that exist now in comparison to 10/20 years ago anyways, so I've not died yet? I think it's just one of them things were it get used as an example about being unhealthy when really it's done to add taste and ensure the food can remain edible for a few days or even weeks...There are much worse chemicals out there more dangerous to the body than sodium chloride and whatever else is used... Especially when the additives are usually rather small doses...

Eclipse had more theming than Storm Surge... Just it was (and still is) bloody useless at being a ride...Kinda like Storm Surge actually...

If I had a quid for everytime someone said that X had been or will be rethemed... I wouldn't be worrying about my uni debt...

Sod them, people who evidently think like that aren't worth the time or effort... People who put looks over personality are just really stupid in my opinion...

Maybe we would be better off with the Apes taking over the world...I for one, welcome our new primate overlords...

**** me... Some terribly lucky people survived that...As an engineer, some questions have to be asked about the structural integrity of that... Even high winds shouldn't blow sommat down like that...Horrible to watch...

Yeah, cos it was spotted a week ago, instead of 2 days...It's nice to see proof in statements sometimes you know...

Latest rumours are that some Halloween mazes will be set up in the park...Where you ask? The Black Hole tent...Not sure what to think of that tbh... Nice to see it used... But for Halloween mazes? Meh...

Well it's back...Predictions? Good team performances? Gonna be awful?Palace did well yesterday but awful last week... Some things never change...

Latest update...http://www.potionmagix.fr/forumix/topic1271-1060.htmlNot the first half is complete, tunnel being built, zero-g next to the station... Looking pretty epic so far...

It does sound hilarious... It made me lol...My other favourite doors are those random ones on South-West that require constant pushing to open... It's amazing how incapable people can be when challenged in such a fashion...

Swap the bottom two around and then you're talking...
