  1. ^Well said Mark...Although really, my problem here, is that Storm Surge even with a themed lift hill, would still look awful because of everything else that they messed up with on the design side of it... It's such an American ride in terms of being reasonably large and brightly coloured, and it's always going to stand out like a sore thumb not matter what gets done to it...Unless the track itself gets repainted... I'd do a thing for that... But I just think that Storm Surge isn't worth the time or effort and other improvements to other rides are a much better idea (like repainting Colossus, adding heaters to Inferno's tunnel, theming Flying Fish and others)...

    Some kid on the BBC was just now going on about how the police and other people don't respect her...Maybe if you weren't such a stupid bint and actually worked at something in your life, you would get it...Respect is earnt... Not given...

    First fatality... The bloke in Croydon who was shot died in hospital...This is a complete joke and travesty... They do not respect the police and the police cannot do anything to them for whatever reason we're being given... Just let the police beat down a few of them and then they'll realise the consequences of doing this stuff results in a bloody beatdown...
  7. Just for the frame?Try the WHOLE ride sticking out like a sore thumb...

    I'd also advise people going out stay in groups... Just to be on the safe side looking at reports coming in from yesterday...Sick, sick world we live in...

    I'm planning to pop down to the Croydon clean-up at some point today, and I suggest that if you're near an area that needs the help, go out and do it...Can't let the scumbags who did this win...

    Banter know means looting and rioting?**** this country...
  11. Benin replied to Phyciodes's topic in The Real World
    Spreading even further around London now...Sickening that the police's actions are being questioned instead of the people involved in the riots... Stupid country...
  12. Gerstlauer's are much easier to put together than B&Ms... Plus hadn't construction for that started by now (Station/brakes at least)?

    See, for every good bit in Family Guy, it has a really, really AWFUL bit as well...However, I have been using it to help me prepare for Italy...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JhuOicPFZY
  14. Looking better and better everytime I see pics...More here - http://www.centralpark-fr.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=13295#p13295
  15. ^Towers MIGHT (stressing this immensely) put on one or two extra buses over Scarefest, but the last one will be around 7-8ish... Best check the website closer to the time...
  16. Sorry? I FINALLY GOT EVACUATED OFF A RIDE!!!!! :blink:Shame it was Tomb and only at the bottom of the lift... But an evac's an evac
  17. Milkshake Show Review...It's typical British stuff really for shows... Why are ours so goddamn awful? And WHY was everyone NORTHERN? At least the hosts were worth the effort I guess...
  18. I doubt the M25 issues helped people turning up to the park today...But yeah, queues will vary between 30 to 60 throughout the summer... Depends on weather and all the other bits and bobs...

    Riots and serious crap going down in Tottenham...http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-14434318Bus has recently exploded after being set on fire... All because some people want 'justice' after police shot someone who was shooting at them... I love the lack of logic people have in life now...
  20. In several areas, this park does look absolutely fantastic... But in others... Namely the kids area and the Mine Train, it lacks a general, good quality in comparison...Still looking forward to it in September though... Especially after hearing some decent reviews of the place...
  21. Loop completed... Trim spotted... Chaos ensues...http://www.potionmagix.fr/forumix/nouvelle-zone-attraction-2012-parc-asterix-t1271-1010.htmlHonestly though, they're really soldiering on with the construction of this... Maybe they've stolen a bit of Asterix's potion?
  22. Some concept art for the Woodie has appeared on epfans, and it looks AMAZING...
  23. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-14430072Now THIS is the sort of PR I want parks to do more of... Not bollocky bad breath related stuff...
  24. Freestyle Music Park (the park formerly known as Hard Rock Park) might get a 3rd chance to prove it's worth to the theme park world... http://www.thesunnews.com/2011/08/03/2314039/freestyle-music-park-bought-out.html
  25. After Knightmare, it was time for something a bit more gentler...Junior Dragon CoasterWe did it, it was rubbish (not so if you’re a child though), let’s move on...4/10Nearly lunchtime and since we had brought sandwiches we wondered back to the car to grab them, (as Nicky said the food was dire, proven by it having TWO Wimpys, though the chips were nice apparently), but first, one last coaster...Caterpillar CapersIt’s a Big Apple... Do you expect anything else?4/10Food grabbed, we headed to the Jousting show (as did the rest of the park), and this was probably the best thing in the park... The fact it wasn’t taken seriously was perfectly done, and was better than any of the shows I’ve seen Merlin conjure up at their parks... Perfect blend of entertainments, crowd interaction, dodgy jokes and action made it an actual must see for anyone going there... Show over, we wandered over to the random farm/zoo/animal area to waste some time before the bird show...Back to the jousting area, which was rather emptier this time round for the random bird show... Rather entertaining and worth the faff, since the park wasn’t going to provide time wasting with its rides (didn’t do anything other than coasters and shows, blergh)...And that was it, we wondered back to the exit and drove away, with me pondering whether or not the park would be worth saving or not... To be honest, if someone was willing to put in time, money and effort and not demand an instant profit back for a few years, it has potential... It’s probably only clinging on just because of its location (stone’s throw from the M6 and about an hour away from about 5 major cities), but it would take a lot of time spent on fixing the infrastructure and bringing in good quality rides (and keeping the maintenance up) so it might not even be worth it in the end...It’s dire, but the shows and Knightmare were good, not worth £22 to get in though (£26 on the day, no wonder it’s in the crappola)...
