Looks fab...Damn I need a job to afford to go to these places...

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?!"

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...

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)...

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'

^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...

Bat on a Stick <3

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!

A ride called Raw in the same park with a ride called Saw?Sounds like a Bore...

Thing is, if we compare Thorpe's level of investment since Tussauds took over to Towers' level, they tell very very different tales... Thorpe have had 4 major coasters, about half a dozen flats and a high level of focus on getting a teen brand... Towers grew just as much initially when Tussauds brought in, and in recent years has seen a much lower investment since it didn't need it as much...Indeed, it wasn't hard to improve Thorpe by adding rides when the biggest one was Loggers...

Good question... Since I don't really understand fluent German, I have no idea what bar that stuff went down and that the ride is amazing...

Doors open?Where on earth IS the show? Behind Wild Asia? On the Fury picnic field? Give us full info dammit!

That's just you though, what about the other staff?

You mean the Tokyo Tussauds?

It wasn't a link... It was stating how his actions were very tasteless and very idiotic given the recent incident...Wonder if someone would pull this on Sea Dragons with wet seats...

On the other side of the coin though, I've seen times when Chessie have run 3 trains on Vampire which has caused a 5 minute queue tops... Which whilst nice is really crap to work in with the constant trains when there's no real need for it yet...It's not in parts at least this year... Will probs be on in a week or so give or take... No need to panic since as been said, this is not the busiest time of the year and it was only the first summer weekend... It'll be on when Chessie feel it's best to put it on, and not before...

I know it's in France, but why does Disneyland Paris get all the miserable people?http://connexionfrance.com/disneyland-paris-evacuated-unhappy-customer-bomb-hoax-arrested-police-fine-12901-view-article.html

California Screamin' valleyed the other day...The reason? A bag dropped onto the train during the loop and naturally it caught the train as it fell and BAM... Valley...Want proof of even MORE stupidity? Here's an actual POV of the incident and someone dropping coins EDIT - Video was removed by the user, but apparently has been reuploaded... So a quick search will probs find the stupidity...

You know you could speak to me in a more acceptable tone... Instead of making silly comments like you think you're talking to a 12 year old... Especially as I don't know any local routes from Stoke as I don't ACTUALLY live there, the only route I know is the signposted one from the M6, so don't assume that I'm totally oblivious to how bad the roads are... I've been to Towers when things break, but since Rita makes no difference to me, and indeed when I went once when Nemesis was broken it still wasn't busy... Maybe I'm just lucky with never actually experiencing these issues that constantly plague you? Difference is that when stuff breaks at Thorpe people don't have to walk further than 2 feet before meeting another coaster, indeed I always find Thorpe busy, narrow, depressing and generally un-exciting... I can go on only 4 rides and be done... Since there's nothing else to do at the park aside from enjoy the company of the general guests... Who are not very nice people (not to say Towers don't get their fair share, but they're easier to avoid)...Then again, I'm as bored and tired of Thorpe as you seem to be of Towers... Indeed because Thorpe is new to you you don't have this vision of it that I do... A barren island full of idiots with a terrible reliablitiy that on more than one trip has made me want to kill myself... Towers never has done that to me...And if you think the fans think the streets are paved with gold, you haven't read TowersTimes...

I love the books and still have ALL of them (literally, including the Science, Maths, Geography, etc off-shoots)...The series however, is pretty epic too... But the mediums are very different and both are very good ideas to let kids do... Though I will personally by throwing books at my kids from the moment they're born...
