  1. 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)...
  2. 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!
  3. Instead of clogging it (Nicky's topic) up you instead steal the limelight :)I mean, part of the parade... Fab <3
  4. 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...
  5. 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!
  6. It's not black track, so I doubt going to Merlin since all their coasters have been black... (Saw/Thirteen/Krake/Raptor)

    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!"

    It's a tracked ride through the aquarium...Simples...
  9. 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...
  10. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    The forum makes new look Coasterforce look good...That's saying a LOT...
  11. 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...
  12. 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...
  13. 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...
  14. 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...
  15. I think you should go sit in the corner... That's bad form
  16. He quite frankly looks like a serial killer and more suited to Saw...

    ^Holly created the thread to stop the whole arguements of Gaga being all over the place in the Music to help and prevent further arguements like what happened in this topic...Considering the way in which the arguement happened, you'd imagine there would be some thanks involved...
  18. ^I saw 2 today...The shark and Sonic...They do NOT have that many walkabout characters at Towers... Even Towerstimes only lists 9... Where that number has been plucked from, only you know...
  19. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    Applied for two jobs for the summer...Now to sort out a house for next year and all will be well...
  20. Benin replied to Mark9's topic in The Forums
    Same goes for gifs... How else am I meant to entertain the lovely people here?
  21. Yes, because Towers has so many past the shark, Sonic and Squirrel Nutty (off the top of my head)...
  22. After having to endure that for several hours constantly I'm happy to see the back of it...
  23. You mean the music you couldn't get away from the entire time you were in the park because it was essentially played on EVERY ride I like the music btw, so this is Benin approved...
  24. Landscaping is the correct name I think...You will probs need to either contact HR orrrrrrr if lucky they may advertise for them on the usual website...Not too sure though, not my cup of tea...
  25. Benin replied to Sheepie's topic in UK Attractions
    It got replaced...They're not THAT bad...
