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

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

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
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...

Alton Towers General Discussion
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...

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

Chessington Trip Reports
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...

Rant
I know 40% is a pass... I just don't get that low ;)Hell, even 30% can be in some cases... But I don't think about that...

Buck your ideas up ;)Alternatively... Go to a college... If you're considering uni, 6th Form is actually so bloody different from uni it's a real culture shock to many...Plus, they don't care (at uni) unless you do REALLY crap... 45% is considered a pass <3

Dragon Falls
I have that as a postcard <3

The Smiler
Yeah, but who moaned loudest when Thirteen wasn't the best thing since sliced bread?I don't pay attention to hype anymore... It's never really greatly structured and would rather the coaster speak for itself... Look at Raptor, it doesn't need that random winter sports dude to help promote it because the ride looks sexy as...

Rameses Revenge
As long as it doesn't end up sounding like Ripsaw

Dragon Falls
But Rattlesnake's changed with obvious reason with some 1.2m kid or whatever height they were hurting themselves quite badly on it...This... Has a 'security' reason? That's a rather unambigious reason and want to go deeper into the rabbit hole to find out why only Chessie's is changing and not Thorpe's or Alton's... That's the main issue, neither of those two are changing, yet Chessie's is?

Hmmmmm...A friend of mine is doing a birthday trip on the same day to the park...Hence I'm being torn between this meet and that meet...Epic bern

The Smiler
I saw lots of dirt today at the park...Hence, I've determined that it will be a 4000ft long sideways coaster (hence the world first), and will interact with no more than 2 major pathways and be themed to Cloud Cuckoo Land and Sir Algeon...You heard it here first!

Chessington Trip Reports
Couldn't agree more...Half the park just looks so tatty these days... I'd say that includes Toytown, Mexicana, Market Square, Pirates Cove and Translyvania... And Land of the Dragons has just no identity to it... Same for Market Square and Pirates Cove...I feel incredibly strongly about what the park needs to do... And to heavily invest in regenerating and hence reinvigorating the park... This would not only improve the park as a whole with making old rides look new again but also adding new rides will help bring in new guests...Just Chessie never seems to get enough of the Merlin pot of money to do this though... And it's disappointing when they can't even retheme an area, just because they had a poor summer (like the other parks did)...So instead of celebrating the 25th with something massive... An area retheme which will involve very little if any new rides? Sigh

Dragon's Fury
Hint - It's not the side you got on...And the control cabin is not the exit...And it helps not to panic when you realise you're an idiot...Oh Fury... You cause so much havoc with people's brains...

Chessington Trip Reports
I think you were batching at the time... But, you weren't on platform who were the crap ones so you're absolved...I've been rather meh about it really, there are SOME improvements to the park like paving and signage for EVERYTHING... But it was just lacking... something...
