  1. X

    Benin replied to Garyy's topic in The Past
    Drive X can indeed exist... My uni has it as it's often used for local drives across a singular network...And just search WTF in google... You'll find out soon enough...
  2. I have never seen the point in trying to do more than one park in a day... Especially when they're as far apart as they are at WDW...I've only really done two parks in one day once in Florida (Animal Kingdom and Studios) due to time constraints, and quite regularly at Disneyland Paris, because it's a lot easier to trundle in between the parks...But in Florida... What's the point? Including both waterparks as well? It just doesn't add up to me...
  3. Another point... Kawasemi and Piraten are clones...How does that work when other clones get clumped together?EDIT - Actually, why are some clones allowed and some aren't? No bloody sense at all that makes as the two Rock n Roller Coasters are separate... Yet the Batmans aren't?Consistency...

    Would like to see them attempt to go around Towers or the Translyvania/Fury hill at Chessie...Also, I'd like to have a rant about the McCanns... What with their new book and begging the PM for help... They need a slap... Because there were only TWO people responsible for Maddie's dissapearance, and that's them... You never leave children unsupervised and they're lucky only one was taken...It does annoy me how they get support for their own bloody idiocy when people who try but unfortunately cannot take care for whatever reason get punished... Absolute arse I say...

    Where at?
  6. Benin replied to Cat's topic in Quick Questions
    £10.50 for 4 rides?When the hell did that happen?Although, how Towers get away with £10 for Thirteen and Rita... Sigh, I miss the days of free Fast-track that was easy to cheat on
  7. HISTA makes Time Voyagers look like the Godfather of 3D theme park films...

    ^More like...
  9. Captain EO is probably better than Honey I Shrunk the Audience...Epcot is such a mission... But a cool park regardless...
  10. That... And it tries to attempt brain surgery in the worst way possible :PPlus, themed experiences don't get highly rated... Revenge of the Mummy is 73 for crying out loud... Atlantis Adventure is the highest "exceptionally themed" experience, and who bums that? Oh yeah... :)EDIT - Sod it, Pegasus (EP) is 258 places too low... What a crap poll...
  11. I do hope they've briefed staff about the possiblity of that, otherwise I can imagine very amusing results...
  12. I put this forward on Coasterforce last year as was told that it was because the all their spinners are too alike to each other that they don't deserve their own place, by an American...It's just the Americans in general...And I know TPR aren't any good, but it pisses me off how sheep-like some enthusiasts are (and not just TPR)...
  13. Les Coogan is just part of the marketing of the ride...To paraphrase Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, "Marketing doesn't have to have a point, that's why it's marketing"...It's like with all these random clues and stuff which mean very little in the main run, watching people on forums trying desperately to work out what they mean is a very entertaining part of the all show and makes people interested... Which is the primary goal of marketing...More Les please!
  14. Instead of clogging it (Nicky's topic) up you instead steal the limelight :)I mean, part of the parade... Fab <3
  15. Edited for accuracy...In actual seriousness, why is it that all the Intamin airtime machines actually get so much love? Millenium Force and Expedition GeForce are both very over-rated and are certainly not top 10 material...EDIT - More to say...There is a gap of 70 places between Nemesis (UK #1) and Stealth (UK #2)... That shows a lot of things really about the quality of our rides, especially as Oblvion (#3) is followed by Speed at Oakwood... That, or shows the bias of the thing...PLUS, they still think all Mauer Sohne spinners are the SAME! Stupid poll...Mirabilandia has two in the top 10... A park which no-one on here seems to have even been to (aside from NeilFever)... Which leads me to believe why it's so highly rated... Hear nothing about the actual park but Katun and iSpeed are amazing apparently...Just meh... Intamin the best coaster manufacturer? When the top 3 have all had some problems associated with them? Do me a favour...
  16. http://www.ushsho.com/steelrollercoasterpollresults2010.htmThe TPR Mitch Hawker coaster poll results are up... And.........1. Bizarro2. Expedition GeForce3. Intimidator 3054. Kawasemi5. Piraten6. Nemesis7. Millennium Force8. Goliath (Walibi World)9. Katun10. iSpeedYay for stupid love for over-rated rides!
  17. It's not black track, so I doubt going to Merlin since all their coasters have been black... (Saw/Thirteen/Krake/Raptor)
  18. Benin replied to Theme Park bloke's topic in The Real World
    But buggy racing is practically a sport in the American themeparks...."AND IT'S TWO CHINS COMING IN ON THE INSIDE! BUT WAIT, FOUR BELLIES IS CHARGING THROUGH, FOUR BELLIES HAS OVERTAKEN TWO CHINS AND HAS WON THE HOT-DOG!"
  19. Benin replied to NickD's topic in UK Attractions
    It's a tracked ride through the aquarium...Simples...
  20. Benin replied to Sheepie's topic in UK Attractions
    Best arrow ever! Really... The old arrow took up the entire radius... Even as a temporary measurement that's pathetic...
  21. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    The forum makes new look Coasterforce look good...That's saying a LOT...
  22. Benin replied to Theme Park bloke's topic in The Real World
    I get the feeling this is aimed towards me (and others)...If you have a problem with it, actually take it up with me personally... Or ignore my posts... Some people actually don't play the "I have amazing rep" card...
  23. Staff entrance is on the right side of the main entrance (Being North/Lodge/Zoo/Whatever they call it now)... Just follow the road down to the barrier and sign in at security...
  24. Benin replied to AltonThorpe's topic in UK Attractions
    I actually saw it with my own eyes today...My opinion generally amounts to this image...Quite honestly, when someone who isn't an enthusiast notices how bad it is (plus when your new vinyl sticker is ALREADY peeling off), something's wrong...Horrible... Horrible thing...
  25. I'm just gonna list them for easiness...- Spike- Cinders- Meerkat 1 - Pip- Meerkat 2 - I forget the name of this one...- The Cow- Gorilla Cage man (Also Frankenstein/Dracula versions for Halloween)- Ray BatThat's 7 different characters already in the park's closet... They just need to get out more...
