I'm gonna be so bored of Towers this time next week...Went on Monday and today... Sooooo...MONDAY - 28th MARCHThis day I went with Nicky and the day started poorly what with the Monorail dying and seeing lots of coaches... However, the park in the end was very much dead...Thing is, doing this report now means I've completely forgotten how the day went, but we did basically all the major rides (Thirteen twice in 5 minutes in the middle of the day as it unsuprisingly was shutted) and everything else... Was a fun day in the end, and got to pester Peter a lot on Ripsaw (which was dying horribly)... Sure Nicky can help with mentions of going on Duel and the like...SATURDAY - 2nd APRILToday I went to meet up with a couple of people from CF and was actually well worth it... The park was busy but it was still a very enjoyable day...I mean, ANY day at Towers that starts at 10 and involves getting 5 rides on Nemesis (once in front, twice in back), without any queue HAS to be good... Especially the way Nemesis is running...I was obviously by myself at this point but after my 5th go the others had arrived and so I pottered back to Towers Street to meet them... Only for the decision of first place to go to be Nemesis... Bugger... As I didn't fancy it again (I'm losing my touch), I bag-bitched and a short time later was rejoined by those who went on... After seeing Air's queue of silliness it was off to Duel...It's the first chance I've had to properly look at the queue additions this year, and they do look fab, aside from that was the typical Duel ride, and I was surprised to get 45000 odd with 5 people in the car... Even if I was second...After that we headed over to Oblivion via Haunted Hollow, which has lack of Duel guitar, upsetting one of my friends, so we laughed and headed towards a 40 minute queue, possibly the longest I've ever queued for Blivvy... Life eh? Still an awesome ride when the mist is on... Love it and it's gotten me really excited for Krake... ;)Lunch was called, and Woodcutters became the port of call, as I had their tasty as hell ribs... Seriously, this is like, the best place in Towers (though I am getting sick of it) for food... Merlin don't get praised enough for their food improvements in my opinion, unless it's Chicken Shack...Afterwards we learned that Thirteen was dead (queue evacuated), and as Rita is crap, we went on Hex, which was as usual fantastic... I love watching people's reactions on this and today was no exception... God Hex is awesome... Why can't Chessie get a Madhouse?Hex done and Thirteen still shut, we headed over towards Mutiny Bay, and 3 people went on Battle Galleons, which is really slow even without a queue... Strange times, and our interaction was denied by them being on the wrong side to the pathways... Shame ;)Some people then wanted to go on Flume, alas, some of us didn't want this, so we went into SeaLife... Which was bland as usual... Though they have a new Nurse Shark in the tunnel, which is MASSIVE! Awesome addition...As people were wet, Rapids were called, and with a boat of 8 we had an epically heavy boat of wetness... I GOT A WET ARSE! Water decided to come right onto my right side onto the seat and I was not impressed... Sad times...Runaway Train then happened, which was bland and involved yelling at people in the boat because they didn't wave at us... Idiots ¬¬To finish off the day, headed back to Oblivion for more fun times, even though the batcher was terrible... Oh wells...So was a fab day, was kinda nice to go with other people for a change lol... Might have been busy and not involving Thirteen, Rita or Air, but, still awesome...

As he's in Paris right now, I can't

Won't be doing the dinner meet...I don't even know where my day will lie yet, I should know by next week though... Hopefully convince the guy that we would have a better time with TPM people than the few people who have expressed interest elsewhere

It's SUCH an old school Tussauds ride at heart with the way it interacts with the path...However...Is it just me, or is that part of the queue on the left under the lift as well? Unless the bit that says ENTRANCE just leads you to that area...

Is he Irish then (As that's the weird version they do I think)...If he has a thick accent, shall be a fun game...

It has? Why hasn't there been outrage about it?Oh yeah... Storm Surge's 'theming' is obviously more important...

You've seen the plans for LC12 but don't know what the station looks like?Raptor seems to have a lot more chopping effects that LC12 does... There's about 5/6 on those POVs compared to... A plane wing and a helicopter?

Yeah, I'd say CCR is the best ride...

Surely we're talking about the wrong ride here?Raptor has a concrete tunnel, but at least it actually fits into the theme of secret government base... Air just suffered from budget cuts...

You mean THIS topic... http://forum.maniahub.com/topic/7483-gardaland/And just why has the cost of this gone up 2 million? Inflation?

Proof?This really annoys me to be quite frank... NO-ONE on here can say which of these two will be the better one... Since as (1) No-one's been on Raptor yet, and (2) LC12 hasn't even been BUILT yet!Obviously you have some form of amazing time machine that's allowed you to ride both rides and give us your amazing fact on life... I bow to you sir for manipulating time and space in such a manner... Bravo!

CAN... DIE... HAPPY...

Since when did CCR have a tunnel?And if if that's considered theming, Mark's point has been cemented...

YAY WATERSPLASH!This looks amazing... Pathway interaction, awesome theming... September needs to ARRIVE!

Does THAT even work these days?

Lorikeet Lagoon >>>>> Monkey Swinger

A cookie of death? #stillthinksstormsurgelooksturd

I actually used that for a Media Studies piece of work back in the day...NOM!

Hopefully doesn't cut it ;)I don't actually remember the last time it has 3 trains for the entirity of Easter...

Bear in mind that Merlin bunch theming, landscaping and development all in the pot, so the ride itself is not going to be 18 million...

Well I have issues about queueing at Thorpe...But really, you're not gonna go cos it involves queues? Even with a group of people to natter with? Le Sigh...

Dimmingdale doesn't seem to exist on Google... Where exactly are you staying?The road from Alton village (not a town) goes past Oblivion as well, so dunno where you get the having to walk back to it to get a bus...If you're at Oblivion, just walk around... Though without knowing where you're staying (as Dimmingsdale is the only answer I get and that's near WOLVES!), it's hard to help fully...

I think that advert underestimates how fun spinning around on a floor duster actually is...Especially if you're getting paid to do that...

Infrastructure is all well and good, but the water pressure is still cack... (Something I forgot to mention)...Do like the new look loos though, but... They're still confined and crap...Chessie just needs some more visible investment to the general layman... Be it a new ride (the preferable option), or just repainting some decaying rides (Runaway/Skyway), or BOTH...
