Storm Surge: Petition
^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)...

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...- Storm Surge: Petition

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)...
