  1. How much money will they make overall from those with very low expenditure rates?It's kind of a silly idea, as most parents won't want some sort of nightclub environment being exposed to their kids before they're legally allowed it... Plus it's really random with the age limit... Very low chance of them making a ton of money in comparison to having adults who can spend without much worry...Would make a lot of sense to have an over 21s style night event actually...
  2. Don't work experience people bounce from area to area?They used to...

    TUUUUNE...
  4. Summer has most certainly arrived...But in regards to AP, this is why I renew mine at the end of the season in the middle of the day rather than at the start or end... It's never surprising that the AP queue is busy when the park is busy, and that's not the park's fault (indeed, this would be the same at ANY park)... Personally I've never encountered issues entering our parks... So I guess I'm just lucky...
  5. What did you expect on a day when most schools were shut due to strikes?And you are stereotyping... Just because you're part of the thing you are stereotyping doesn't automatically mean you're not...
  6. How lucky the people were at the Legoland meet that Nicky was ill...

    Evidently then the quality of your other forums can't be up to much... Every one of the forums I frequent requires everyone to use correct spelling and what-not, and you act as if mods editing posts is something that NEVER happens elsewhere... They are not required to ask consent from posters to change posts, because they are doing so in order to make everything look tidy...Again, all the points you make here, happen on EVERY OTHER FORUM... In the world... Ever...

    I think Samurai has about 5/6 different settings...The higher the number, the more intense the ride cycle...
  9. It's amazing how much foliage can make a park so much nicer to spend time at...
  10. I would say there's already a topic for Asterix, but since that has 1 reply, don't mind ;)EDIT - Seems like Gerstlauer have done a Junior Shuttle Coaster now as well... Small park in Germany but it looks rather twee and nice...

    What a twunt...Cyclists complain so much that they don't get respect from other motorists, yet constantly flounce the rules of the Highway Code themselves... Then WE have to give up the pavement for them in some places cos the cycle lane is there... So even councils can't decide where cyclists should go...URGH... I hate people...

    Hard to base off that teaser but... It doesn't LOOK like a Pixar film...It also just reeks of the same atmosphere of How to Train your Dragon... Not a bad thing but still...Still, it's Pixar, and it looks different...

    Merde...Regarding kids tv...
  14. Benin replied to Harry's topic in General Discussion
    Enthusiasts will not bother with rides that have long queues or will begrudge them in certain circumstances...Why this has all stemmed from someone nearly 10 years ago queuing 3 hours for Tidal Wave though... So bloody what... Guess more fool everyone who's queued a stupid amount of time for things like Saw, Colossus, Air, Rita, etc...No-one likes to queue... But it's sommat that happens... Telling someone they are foolish to queue for sommat is silly...

    So Storm Surge now stalls regularly?What a truly amazing addition it has been to the ride line-up...
  16. This basically...Saying "I don't like my photo taken" to someone who has a camera, is a MASSIVE mistake
  17. But you DON'T look terrible... Cos you're silly...
  18. This is actually banter for once... ;)Not my fault she de-tagged herself and originally left a rude comment on the pic...
  19. De-tagging, it's not for everyone...

    Unintentional hilarity GO!
  21. Since Merlin are constantly expanding their portfolio at a unbelievably high rate (for better or worse opinion), I think it's time to collate all of these news bits and bobs into one little topic...Sooooooooo to begin with, Merlin are hitting up the Japanese market with a Tussauds and a Discovery Centre...http://www.blooloop.com/PressReleases/Merlin-Entertainments-Group-Global-Leisure-Giant-comes-to-Japan/2909So, is it a good thing that Merlin are expanding worldwide at this rate? Or should they be focusing on their current attractions and go for quality over quantity?
  22. Pictures on my Facebook... Hell yeah!http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150665107675220.699370.558160219&l=53862a264eIf I can be arsed later, I will do a trip report... But I'm too tired and it's too warm...
  23. I wish I could believe this, but if the staff consider that the PA has been turned down, someone needs to actually pay attention...The fact that the actual fencing vibrates with the announcements is an absolute testament to how stupidly loud the operator's PA is, and that something needs to be done...As an aside, I believe that the Conservation Evening appeared to go very well, but suffered from a lack of organisation with some of the feeding events and a distinct lack of food places... More of these kind of events need to happen though...

    Gorgeous?No... It was TOO WARM...*dies*
  25. OMG IT WAS SO GODDAM WARM...I took a fair number of pics so expect them tomoz, since I cannot be arsed tonight...*collapses*
