  1. Meanwhile, back in serious land... THAT turn after the non-inverting loop
  2. Thing is now, Nemesis will win, since you can vote once an hour and I can only see the enthusiasts constantly voting every hour...And since 99% of said enthusiasts will put Nemesis... It's ruined the excitement -_-However, I did apply for that 2013 helper thing... Woo...

    Since SOME people want my post to be less like Thirteen and more like Nemesis -_-Nemesis was my first inverting coaster and arguably first truly MAJOR ride, so for me, ride-wise it's the way it just doesn't seem to let up and keeps going until the brakes, even the stall turns are an important part of the ride in order to give those small moments of calm before the next kick in the balls, rides that are just constant intensity aren't fun, that balance was really done well by John Wardley and B&M...Elsewhere, the atmosphere and interactivity are very well done, I love the music which just compliments the ride nicely and of course the B&M roar also makes such a perfect combination of things...
  4. Interested to hear in much more detail what you thought/did at the park...

  6. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1Mp6jl5i7A TV ads with TOM BAKER <3<3<3<3Oh yeah, vote Nemesis

    Nope... You're confusing that with the continent plans...The park plans to join up several areas together in order to create continents, so Translyvania would come under the Europe area with Market Square, Land of the Dragons and Pirates Cove...

    American theme?Have they moved the Translyvanian region from Eastern Europe then?
  10. They usually reply regardless of whether or not you have the interview... If you don't get a reply, pester them... It's only Monday and HR don't work weekends...

    Fire regulations say we should cramp everyone into one small area rather than keep it empty? Colour me confused dot com...If done CORRECTLY, Vampire can excessively benefit from row batching, just need to get the staff trained up to a decent level, which is what also should be happening to even the most average of staff... If they're average, why is this? The trainers are as much at fault for poor platformers as the people are themselves...
  12. I do hope you mean Forbidden Valleys B&Ms, otherwise someone needs to look behind the sofa for a missing coaster...
  13. Benin replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    Oh darling, you think I wanted to go back to Chessie...If you want to think that you can, but university > working there...
  14. Benin replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    ^To be fair, there hasn't been a good rides team on Vampire for nearly 3 years now...
  15. Deserves a bump cos of this video... CANNOT WAIT TO RIDE THIS!
  16. Benin replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    Vampire rarely uses three trains until the true busy season... Basically any day that shuts at 6pm, is usually a 3 train day... Hell in Halloween it struggles with 3 trains unless they've changed something...What's the point in turning up the music if they're not going to turn down the PA though? RAWR, wonder how the platformers must feel (or indeed hear)...And Tomb is ALWAYS slow... Least they don't have the stupid rules of earlier in the year anymore...I need to go again soon... Hmmmm...
  17. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Stuff
    I think you're confusing my post content here... I speak my mind a lot more than people seem to when things aren't brilliant... If you don't like it, you didn't have to reply to it or indeed read my post...Indeed, my post was incredibly tongue in cheek, like all of my other posts... Someone's on a bit of a un-needed rant... No need to fly off the handle for some rather tongue-in-cheek comments about a band I dislike... I don't care that you think Rammstein aren't good, but you evidently care that we don't like the Artic Monkeys enough to reply back...I don't like Gaga either, but hey, I better like her otherwise I'll be TOOOOOO NEGATIVE!!!!111
  18. Benin replied to Sheepie's topic in UK Attractions
    Shame you can't polish a turd really...Bubbleworks needs flushing...
  19. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Stuff
    Better than the Artic Monkeys... And it's a free download away off the Portal 2 site... Winning!

    Total nutcase...AVOID!
  21. Benin replied to Theme Park bloke's topic in The Real World
    ^There are a handful of supermarkets that sell little bits of Milka... Saw some in Asda recently...As for the bitchiness... We all do it let's be honest, part of being human innit... But there is a massive difference between being bitchy when having a moan about someone being generally annoying (which I do a fair bit, it's called venting in my world), and bitching behind someone's back telling lies/trying to ruin their life/spreading discourse/etc...There's always someone ready to ruin your day...
  22. Benin replied to pluk's topic in The Past
    LOL...I don't even remember Treasure Island ever being open when I was a young'un, and I do remember the days of the Bumper Boats, Dodgems and the amazing Golf <3In hindsight though, Thorpe was an awful park 10 years ago in regards to rides... And now it's an awful park in regards to atmosphere... Funny old world
  23. Benin replied to Sheepie's topic in UK Attractions
    I swear there are actually NO strobes at all in the finale now...Urgh, why did Tussauds have to be so dire at that time...And yeah, Prof Bubbles has had his time, and since most of the props are now in the hands of several various people it would need all the models being remade, so you may as well just go for a new fresh idea rather than an old idea that shouldn't be revisited...
  24. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Stuff
    Only when I think something's crap...Like the Artic Monkeys... They're AWFUL...
  25. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Stuff
    Words cannot describe......How terrible Artic Monkeys are...
