    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...

    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

    Shame you can't polish a turd really...Bubbleworks needs flushing...

    Better than the Artic Monkeys... And it's a free download away off the Portal 2 site... Winning!

    Total nutcase...AVOID!

    ^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...

    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

    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...
  9. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Stuff
    Only when I think something's crap...Like the Artic Monkeys... They're AWFUL...
  10. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Stuff
    Words cannot describe......How terrible Artic Monkeys are...
  11. Well, I had to make up for the lack of legs the victim had... [/offensive joke]
  12. ^It's ok that you posted, it deserves it...PLUS, I can change to a more sombre topic...The Intamin curse struck again at Darien leg with a war veteran who had amputations on both legs was thrown from the ride... News articles can be read below...http://www.buffalonews.com/city/article482793.ecehttp://www.wgrz.com/news/article/127015/13/Deadly-Accident-on-Ride-of-Steel-Coaster-at-Darien-LakeBut really here... This cannot be Intamin's fault can it? I know I blam them a lot but here, it's impossible to as this just reads like the fault of the park staff OR indeed the guest himself... Either way, it's another death on an Intamin and this could all really add up for them in the end...
  13. Who wants a POV of the crazy Fuji-Q Eurofighter?EVERYONE! No idea what happens before the launch indoors though... Hopefully that will have stuff happen...

    Ohhhh I forgot to review Transformers 3...It was better than the second, with an epic opening sequence... Then present day happened as did the new version of Megan Fox, who was actually brilliant in making Megan Fox both look good in the looks and acting department (I don't rate Fox at all), which was quite an achievement...For the rest, it was typical Michael Bay... Big explosions, big sequences, big EVERYTHING... Some random Inception like music was cool though and the entire last sequence was actually really enjoyable...7/10Next time... Harry Potter 7 Part 2... Expect tears...

    Who just won £9 on Euromillions?Quality of your numbers over quantity bitches...
  16. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    Phineas and Ferb?Whatever happened to GOOD kids cartoons? Duck Tales, Recess, Hercules and Tarzan animated series... Hell Pokemon...90s TV was far superior... Far, FAAAAAR superior...
  17. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    Kids today...
  18. You seem to think that the theme there is better than Euro-Mir's... Silver Star is NOT Bon Jovi... Or very good for that matter... A good ride should be good in as many rows as possible... Just the back? Nah... Dunno how trimmed it is now though... Hopefully less than it was 3 years ago...
  19. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Stuff
    Oh HAI 3 Rammstein standing tickets for the O2 in February...Which sold out in 10 minutes...
  20. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    Evanna Lynch is still AMAZING though...Her accent
  21. MASSIVE PICTURES ARE MASSIVE!How many rides were open for ERT though, what did you do? What order? etc. etc.I want MOAR than photos dammit!
  22. Hexperience for me too...A ride with a real story behind it, or themeatic elements that give the feel and look of something that is much more than just a ride, can be often 10x better than just thrill rides... Good case in point would be Revenge of the Mummy...There's nothing wrong with thrill rides, but often they just don't leave as much of a lasting impression than experience based ones...However, it is entirely possible to have a thrill ride that is also an experience ride... Look at Nemesis... One of the most thrilling rides on the planet and also uses several different parts of experience (theme, landscape, etc) to help support it and become effectively the ride we all know...
  23. Benin replied to Marc's topic in General Discussion
    The technologically was not needed Mark... You know that...
  24. Assessment is the thing you do to GET the job...Induction is the thing you do to LEARN the job...Very very different things, so NEVER will you do both on the same day...
  25. Benin replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    Does the resort REALLY need a map? Not exactly Downtown Disney/Disney Village is it?Looks nice though... But feel it's a bit pointless...
