    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...

    Awww, it's good that you use such words to describe your mum
  3. ^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...

    QUICK EVERYONE!
  5. ^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...

    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...
  7. Looks fab...Damn I need a job to afford to go to these places...
  8. 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?!"
  10. 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...
  12. 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)...
  13. 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'
  15. ^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
  17. 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!
  19. A ride called Raw in the same park with a ride called Saw?Sounds like a Bore...
  20. 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...
  21. 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...
  22. Doors open?Where on earth IS the show? Behind Wild Asia? On the Fury picnic field? Give us full info dammit!
  23. That's just you though, what about the other staff?
  24. You mean the Tokyo Tussauds?
  25. 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...
