THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Thorpe's going to sink to the bottom of the quarry because it's quite simply too heavy due to the quick investment, causing enthusiasts to BAWL loudly whilst many also cheer at the demise at the park...Either that, or LC12 will be officially announced... It's anybody's guess...

Is Alton Still Going To Be No.1 In 5 Years Time?
^Unless you're part of Thorpe's main target market of course..."If I wanted landscaping, I'd go to a garden centre" ;)Seriously, whilst many on here would like some form of effort put into the landscape side and some actual trees, why would Thorpe bother unless they get a mass of complaints detailing the lack of shade and what-not... Indeed, the lack of greenery is one of the worst things about Thorpe, hence why crap hit the fan when they dared to put Storm Surge by the Amity Cove sign and lawn

Merlin Imagineers?LOL...And they've been doing this whole 'catch up to the mouse' thing ever since they took over... I remember nearly bursting out into laughter at an induction before cos of it... In fact, the walls of the Studios are covered in imagery of the Wizard beating up Mickey... Cruel people indeed...

Sharkbait Reef - AT Sealife
^That... Though I'm not sure how bad the other Spider Crabs have been at killing each other/being shocked about their shedding/being generally crap...

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
^Sure it got mentioned briefly before... But since these topics jump so wildly between what's going on, it needs to be discussed...Indeed, it's gonna end up like Saw's entrance when that first started... Crowded, claustrophobic, and highly uncomfortable I think... Hopefully they'll find some way of helping the flow...

Alton Towers News
Be interesting to see how long it takes for them to sort it out...I'm HOPING it'll be finished by my birthday, but I'm not holding my breath as this is quite a tricky thing to do during the open season...

Aren't haikus meant to have a 5-7-5 syllable system for each line?

The Earl impatiently demanded why the carriage had stopped..."WHY HAVE WE STOPPED?!"

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Maybe cos the ride WON'T have anything to do with Gears of War?It's about as likely as it being themed to it based off it using the same font...

Taking pictures of the attraction with a camera flash shows NOTHING of the actual experience... It NEEDS to be ridden to be understood why it's the best dark ride in the country by far...

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Blergh, actually meant to say roller coaster there, but yes, Tomb Raider rides existed at Paramount and one still exists at Movieland Studios in Italy...Still rather technically though, since really, they based the rides off the films rather than the games... But since the films were based off the games (etc)...

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Is it a fact? Or did you mean "Someone will now call me out on this. FACT!"?Besides, technically, Tomb Raider (Now known as Time Warp), was the world's first video game themed ride

Click me for some Hex based pics!And Sheepie's right... The atmosphere is so different and more 'real' than Saw's... Eerie and creepy and you will poop bricks if you found Saw scary... At Drayton... You can never tell how serious they're trying to be... That gives them some 'charm'

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
^On the other side though, they spent so much on getting the IP which 'arguably' could have been better spent on a much better layout/theme/anything NOT related to Saw...Any ride can be termed successful, indeed, I'm a believer in the great "Build it, and they WILL come", shame Merlin seem to think that they need gimmicks and easy marketable pieces rather than quality...Hopefully LC12 and SW7 will buck the trend, especially after Raptor...

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
This would be the best IP ever... Hands down...Btw, I think the whole similar font is people looking FAR to into things once again... Not every minute detail actually ends up as part of the ride...

There are models yes...SCARY WITCH OMFG!
