I think the most interesting thing said there is the apparent major attraction hitting Towers next year...Will Merlin keep their word?

Btw, Blackpool charge £189 for an annual pass...Food for thought...

I refuse to use the same term for the Croydon Tramlink and a singular carriage 'train'

Is two appearances a day and intermittent characters elsewhere in the park enough though?I think each area of the park needs at least one, or maybe two constantly appearing characters... So we could have a pirate and his first mate by Buccaneer, banditos in Mexicana, pharoah in Kingdom and so on... This will obviously strain on the budget a LOT cos of the numerous staff needed for this but it would give Chessie a bigger edge on the other parks since we seem to lack costumed characters in general...Actually an idea has sprung to mind for a random little show in Mexicana involving a shoot-out up in the rafters of cantina and photo shop/etc... Fulfil my dreams Chessie!

Squirt-a-lot being fixed?Now you ARE just pulling our legs

LOL...Squirt-a-lot is the epitomy of the poor design of Land of the Dragons... He's just stumbled upon by guests in the same way they stumble upon Griffins...In all honesty, I wouldn't mind seeing him and Truckers) removed in the future... It's kinda a waste...EDIT - Another point, is the Griffins ride music buggered or the operators just not playing it? I don't think Land of the Dragons ever recovered from the powercuts music wise what with all the fuses blowing out... Since then the music has been rather buggered...

Might as well make comment on last week's episode...Much improved over the terrible pirate one, what with an actual interesting story and actually challenging the canon of the past series... I doubt we'll see Idris again but I hope we do...The corridor scenes were pretty well done even if the budget could only stretch to one... That should be done more in the future, more scenes in the actual OTHER parts of the Tardis and not just the control room... Oh, and finally...

^I'm sure with renewals you get the year added onto your original expiry date...Soooooo, if I renewed now (with my current pass expiring in October), it wouldn't expire May 2012, but rather October 2012...

Once when I was on Playhouse Spike actually came in and took the height stick off me and started doing my job for me...Needs more of that...And I think it's generally based on the Ents team and budget... Another part of Chessie that needs more investment...

DESPICABLE ME RIDE?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1*Books trip to Orlando*

Online Prices Normal Prices

^So true, some rides benefit from PA use, Black Buccaneer I always used as a chance to interact with guests because of the proximity to them and the fact that everyone was up for a good time as there were no queues...Yet on rides like Sea Dragons and Griffins, they benefit from the pre-recorded more because... Well, there's barely any interaction that can be done during the ride due to the nature of them... And quite often, Vampire's atmosphere is ruined by an operator... Booming music changing to someone yelling "RECHECK" loudly into a loud sound system is deafening and completely killer...I want Fury dispatch announcement back btw as an aside... Was rather epic...

Gonna bump this because........... Hmmm... What are they up to?

For every operator who's good on the PA there's one who loves the sound of their own voice...Pre-recorded? Maybe... There are many other things Chessie need to spend money on... A queueline theme would be a good start...

The Bubbleworks original soundtrack saddens me about it's general rape from Tussauds...However, Vampire <3<3<3

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

One word...JEALOUSY!

Shouldn't this be by the definition of an Oxymoron?Oh wells, have some classic Iron Maiden...

Just a reminder of Zierer's most iconic ride and best they've made so far...

I've realised how much of a joke Northern 'trains' are...Case in point, a single carriage to Derby does not consistute a train... It is a carriage... Not a train...

Busch Gardens Williamsburg's new coaster for 2012 will be named Verbolten and manufactured by..................ZiererOhMyGod!More here... http://www.screamscape.com/html/busch_gardens_williamsburg.htm#2012Coaster

All I wanted was a house to live in for uni next year...Evidently, that was too much to ask my Dad to bother...

Holly should be everyone's number one...

I don't use iTunes so I can't be helpful...No problem with going outside and buying music still... Hell even Play do digital downloads these days and that's a simple Zip file system...

You expect Apple to be helpful?Keep going, there's plenty more Apple based stuff in my cupboard...
