Thorpe Park Trip Reports
They opened a ride 30 minutes before park closing?I've never really seen the point in doing this as it will cause more problems between staff and guests than keeping it closed all day...

Oblivion
No other Dive Machine has managed to recreate the tension Oblivion has... That slow turn actually makes such a massive difference and is rather ignored as to how well it actually adds to the experience...I love Oblivion... Certainly my 3rd favourite UK coaster...

Vampire
Talking tombstones!They are quiet (and Vampire itself is noisy), but a neat little addition to the queue line... Hopefully more can happen...Abdab's are looking worse for wear... Maybe get them refreshed and stick some voices on them as well...Station PA needs to be turned the hell down... I don't like being deafened in the Vampire station by anything but the theme...That is all...

The Blue Barnacle (Previously Black Buccaneer)
I was watching Buccy get loaded earlier today... It took 10 minutes at least to batch in, put bars down and check them all...In a major theme park, that is an absolutely PATHETIC time frame... I know it's cos of the Huss rules, but NO ride should take that long to load... Especially when Blade doesn't have that issue...

Chessington General Discussion
Whilst Chessie has been beautiful recently, can someone tell me why Fury's top walls have been stripped, as well as one of Tomb's extension walls? It looks crap...

Tomb Blaster
Interesting new addition to the Tomb Blaster queue in the shape of a hand-made marble maze game at the top of the stairs...Neat little addition imo... I'll put some pics up later...

Yep, enter the park as normal then barge pass all the other guests to the staff members and BAM... ERT...- THE SWARM: Construction Updates
But... That's not hard :)Interesting angle though... I don't think there's THAT many rides which have a story focusing on alien devestation... Of course, atm I imagine it'll all be diversions and what-not to keep us all guessing...Good times...- Oblivion
Sigh...There's nothing else to say really... Subtle sponsorship I can live with, but this is about as subtle as a brick...- Random

Does no-one else have Oblivion bear?- Drayton Manor
Ben 10 had it's media day yesterday, and here's a POV of it.. It does look fun... Not OMFG amazing, but considering target audience and what not, it could well be a solid addition to Drayton's rather quirky line-up...The queue theming looks interesting as well, though I'm not a fan of the 'unfinished' look of the buildings... But meh...- Old Vampire

This sounds like my kind of advertising... Nowhere near the silly cheap PR bollocks Towers brought out... I hope they keep this up to be fair, much more enthusiastic and interesting way of bringing hype, rather than just ULTIMATE this and ULTIMATE that...- Music
Lady GaGa refused Weird Al Yankovic permission to use his parody on his new album...Considering how big a badge of honour a Weird Al parody generally is, and how he actually doesn't need to ask permission for it as parodies are covered by a different law, it's kinda silly, and she hence loses points (not that I listen to her as it ain't my scene)... - Rant
