Port Aventura Trip Reports
Swear Sea Odyssey has just become a generic 4D cinema now... Rather than having the (rather epic) original film...

Port Aventura Trip Reports
That must be the first positive review I've seen for Stampida ever since they got those Kumbak trains a few years back...Aside from that, sounds like the usual stuff from PA reviews, the Spanish are annoying, Baco is rough, DK is bland but good... I both want to go back but not... Maybe if I manage to wangle Parque Warner and Terra Mitica into the equation I will... But I remember Salou being a dump, soooooooooo...

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
http://thorpeparkmania.co.uk/page/timelineBasically... Not that this stuff has anything to do with LC12, but then again since everyone seems to be getting impatient since nothing of any interest is happening... Not the worst type of discussion I've seen...

Top 10's
The drop and the helix are the only good parts of the ride... Then again, I wasn't in the best of moods at that park, so probably I was too annoyed to think that any of the rides could be any good... It did used to be in my top 10, but it left after 2009's America trip...

RELOAD - Under 18's Club Night!
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...

How Busy Is It Going To Be?
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...

Worst Visitors At Thorpe Park?
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...

Logger's Leap
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...

Samurai
I think Samurai has about 5/6 different settings...The higher the number, the more intense the ride cycle...

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...

Rant
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...

The Big Bad Movie Topic
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...

Tidal Wave
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...
