  1. This, only for basically every single talentless 'reality' show...
  2. Let's be honest here, losing HPH is no MAJOR loss...
  3. Gonna back up Neil here and say it was decent enough... Cannot compare Krake to Novgorod since they are completely different, shame about the unfinished theming, the bollocky queue and the bollocky station organisation... It's a solid enough ride to the park, and the guests LOVE it... There was so much excitement around it from everyone... Great to see...
  4. This is a fair point, but you could at least attempt to watch the Leopards/Tigers instead (dependant on your route out)... They went to GS to ask about the refund, which makes sense, but parks very rarely give out refunds/free tickets to return unless there are extreme cases which cause mass closures (so for example, powercuts), indeed, the T&Cs do say that all tickets are non-refundable, evidently though if they didn't get what they wanted, they may well have increased rage, which never gets you anywhere in my opinion (although this is arguable again, but if people ever had a go at me for following rules, they got bugger all)...
  5. So why didn't they leave?I have no sympathy for them as they could have easily just walked off once they realised the situation, but obviously I'm wrong in assuming that logical thought of child protection from stuff that could prove 'traumatic' is a widely used thing...
  6. I'm guessing both... They went to GS, who proceeded to probably explain to them that this wasn't the fault of the park and they wouldn't get a refund for something so pathetic, which naturally pissed them off and they may well have made a scene and caused security to come along...Probably with the yelling of "IF I DON'T GET A REFUND, I'LL NEVER RETURN TO THE PARK AGAIN!!" because their day was ruined by watching something natural happen when they could've just simply meandered off like most SANE people would have if they had realised... That is the main issue yes... But there's a whole load of factors like the parents not paying attention, past instances of the babies escaping at least once and a few more...But really, if as a parent would you let your 2 year old watch this? I'd tell them to go look at the Leopards whilst I watched the Lions personally...Really, if there was no faults with the enclosure perimeter (assuming such) then the park really isn't at fault for the incident... Once the bintarongs landed in the enclosure, natural instincts kicked in and the lions fed...EDIT - Saw this comment on Chessie's Facebook, people astound me with their stupidity... *head-desk*
  7. Horray for untrue sensationalist news stories!
  8. He does a lot of voicework for Disney, he was Kronk in Emperor's New Groove, Kim Possible, Chicken Little and did the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the animated version...Legend...
  9. http://www.thesun.co...-Adventure.htmlhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX07j9SDFcc Real shame but... Nature innit...EDIT - Here's the HILARIOUS Daily Mirror article for your funnybone... I really hate the press... Bunch of over-sensationalist numpties...

    Video Games.

    Sorry, must have forgotten about the time when New York had submarines launch missiles at it and when someone managed to drive a vehicle in the Underground...The trailer shows New York being attacked, no different from Independance Day blowing it up... Even the Underground sequence is so unrealistic as there is NO place on any of the lines where there are more than 3 tracks together in the same way...Or maybe we should just ban this sick filth?
  11. Isn't it magical how her face also magically gets thinner without the winge or whatever...Wish these photos would actually have some form of continuity with them...
  12. Considering the ride stalled first thing, no...

    Video Games.

    Taking it too seriously...Might as well call out people for making films like Independance Day, 2012 and the like for showing off places being wrecked...The majority of people won't find it distasteful, it's not real, realistic maybe, but there's lots of games and films that involve places being blown up and it's just a select few that bat an eyelid for some reason...
  14. Sounds like you need one of them things what they were selling on the Apprentice last night
  15. Poor excuse of being dark rided out... Revenge of the Mummy is fantastic and worthy of everyone's top 10...In regards to Terminator 2, oh god the CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE... Just wow... It's something that can only work in America since us Brits are so serious but it's bloody hilarious...Shame people seem to be ignoring the Studios... It's a good park really and deserves more than half a day there, you didn't even do any of the shows (Beetlejuice, Horror Make-Up) plus Shrek 4-D or Disaster...
  16. Robb Alvey take credit from someone else and act like an arrogant person?Well I never!

    The Smiler

    ^To be fair, he is probably talking about next years attraction, basing that on what was being said before opening this year with the failed Shrek area and cinema...Though if anyone's saying that it'll be better than LC12... Well, I must be blind...
  18. It does a lot, but at the same time, not a lot at all...Weird ride... I feel that it's TOO long and rather outstays itself... The pacing is weird for such a long coaster and just... Overall weirdness...It's probs great but... Really not something that I can see blowing me away...
  19. To compare Oblivion with Rumba is ridiculous in itself...Rumba is/was never as bad as what has happened to Oblivion... Simple as... It had very little theming already and indeed actually suited the Calypso Quay area, Fanta suits Oblivion as much as a sword suits my chest...
  20. Yeah, but some of our parks are no better than hovels...Nowhere is perfect, but the UK parks are very much miles behind Europe and the US in many ways...
