    Ricky's point still (kinda) counts...Even though Oblivion has always had orange trim... Just it looks exceptionally bright now since it's the only bits in the area that have been painted in years...
  2. This is just slightly more complex than Saw...Just slightly...
  3. Benin replied to Ash's topic in General Discussion
    Ahh, it's at Six Flags New England nowadays...But S&S have stopped production of them apparently... Which if true, can't help the two existing ones much now can it?
  4. What with Oblivion's new Fanta rape of sponsorship, me and Mark9 have decided it's time to think about what other ways some of the UK's greatest rides can be transformed to become a brand new cash cow...First up... Nemesis - Sponsored by Wickes!Choose my new bathroom tiles AND ride the UK's best rollercoaster? Yes please!Please go on...

    ^Generally it's more telling how parks think of rides by NOT building them...Isn't Slammer like, the only Sky Swat in the world these days?Similar can be said of the Huss Jump2...
  6. Universal Studios Orlando...Yeah, exciting stuff isn't it?

    Another point with the Coca-Cola advertising was that is was subtle and unobtrusive... It is mainly kept by Rehydrator (including the old product placement vid of JOY) and not on the entrance/queue...This is rather the opposite...

    ^Nah, that top picture is a lot older than this year... And please... X-Sector's theme barely exists anymore, it's a very run-down area and needs refreshing, but not this way of course....
  9. Benin replied to Sheza's topic in Quick Questions
    Colossus isn't ratchet... Same thing for the other Eurofighters, Stealth and Vampire, which also use the hydraulic method...And quite frankly if anyone is stupid enough to even think of undoing the seatbelt mid-ride should anything in the unlikely happen, they deserve to perish...
  10. Well, at least the music is quite awesome....http://www.imascore.com/en/offizieller-krake-soundtrackSigh... A trick... Missed... It's actually rather depressing and considering how much 'worse' I find SheiKra and Griffon in comparison to Oblivion in terms of the actual dropping... It doesn't bode well...Even if they fix it later on in the year (like I've heard), that doesn't excuse them messing it up for opening... Especially as any fixing won't happen till close season...

    WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Where's THAT come from?Oiiiiiii vey...

    YES! THE BEACH THAT NO-ONE ON HERE GOES IN!GET IN!

    ^Keep winning please...Urgh... yesterday was dire... If Palace play like that for the last 4 games we'll be down... Simple as... No fight, no desire, and not helped by a ref who allowed the players to be bullied to sin...
  15. Benin replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    Well since I haven't signed one I can moan about it then :)Besides, surely with heights being checked at the entrance and batch this shouldn't be a problem? Why a kid should have to have their height checked 3 times (even with a bloody wristband) in a queue is rather stupid...Also yeah, 3 trains... OMFG!
  16. Benin replied to Sheza's topic in Quick Questions
    Hydraulics are redundant? Erm... No...And no, when re-checks occur, they are not focusing on the belts... What a silly notion that is... Re-checks are for when the restraints themselves may not be down enough to be 'locked' according to the ride system, the seat-belts are just an extra feature...And some lap bars DO feature seat-belts... Many of the Intamin hypers, gigas and early Acceleratos ALL feature seat-belts are part of added safety features due to accidents occurring on them... So often they are a necessity and not a stupid thing...It's generally a massive case of "What If?"... I would rather parks be safety minded... Seat-belts do indeed affect dispatch times, but really, for the sake of guest safety (as a whole), they are quite frankly warranted...
  17. There's a massive cage turnstyle thing along the walk... And is usually manned at the start of the day to allow people in...
  18. It's unfinished...
  19. Who cares about condoms, where are the bears?!!!!!!!!
  20. Benin replied to Benin's topic in Stuff
    The RoomSPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!10/10An actual review will appear tomorrow sometime... Bear with please...
  21. Benin replied to Mark9's topic in Nonsense
  22. That's another £13 (ish, dunno what they are in Euros), Merlin will get out of me...
  23. Benin replied to Dan_Rush's topic in General Discussion
    Yeah, I'm gonna pay £2 for a normal Durex just because I'm cool...Oh wait... (This isn't just for Thorpe here, Towers' ones as well... Surely this would be high up on the "How to make girls/guys go away in 5 seconds" list?)
  24. I love all the theming around the drop...Apart from the mouth... Just... I wanna know WHY it's not surrounding the track... Because that was the main feature of each and every piece of advertisement from the start, and now... Cast to the side like unwanted ham... :)Still looking forward to it mind, but just... That's a real annoying niggle...
