Could be a frontrunner for post of the year 2011...

Think the most weird one is Cobra (assuming Paultons here) is better than 3 B&Ms and 2 Intamins...

<3

As if China wasn't getting enough awesomeness...Remember Hair Raiser (the yellow B&M?)...Bloody hell at the location...

^Not that I needed the Wi-Fi... :)In actual park news, Duel has some new pieces of theming in the queue... And the spider-crabs replaced the rays... Making it really crap in that room now as they do NOTHING...Aside from that, nothing unusual to report, aside from many the conservatory work they're doing at Hex's exit...

Ohhhh, is it that time of year already? Where HAS the time gone...Yesterday, being the Facebook Deals day, had to be attended to not only ride Nemesis again, but also see how well the staff would cope with it, a decent test for the new year...Great news is, that it all went smoothly... Everything meant to be open bar Toadstool was open, we had absolutely no problems with getting the tickets, AND we even got the free hotel room from the opposite end of the park...Fab times...Weather wise it began ok until about 1 when it started to chill up fiercely... Was just "OMG!" for the rest of the day but Nemesis makes it all better (and Duel, as it was indoors)... However, getting rid of the rays in Sealife for the bollocky spider crabs was a stupid decision... Urgh...Had a scary-ass drive back to Towers from Leek (as we went back to Leek with the prospect of Paul, but couldn't really be bothered as seeing it next week), due to dark country roads and so much fog that we couldn't actually see where we were going... Scary times...All in all, a good day, and excites me for the main season...Ride CountNemesis - 2Air - 2Duel - 3RMT - 1Sharkbait - 1Heave Ho - 1Hex - 1Oblivion - 1Sonic - 1Doodle Doo Derby - 1Singing Barn - 1

I'm so awesome I appear in wordsearches... Who knew?

Car park thing is true... That much I can confirm...More interesting is the lack of Kobra fast-track, where's that buggered off to eh?And the likelihood of Vampire having the old entrance is... Low... Hopefully someone can prove me wrong about it, but I can't see it happening alas...

Good for you, but I never used that as part of the arguement because of exact factors like that... I didn't call out anything about glory hunting so yeah... The media change their tagets regularly... Liverpool earlier in the season, United when Rooney was with his grannies again, and now apparently as you keep saying, Chelsea... Because they're in a bad way of form and quite likely right now to not get into the top 4...There's a reason why people don't like Chelsea (and to the same degree, Man City), because of the way the success has been more brought in rather than earnt... Plus the way in which 50 million is being spent on one player is just stupid as I said in my earlier post when it could probably run an entire league for a year... It's horrendous to think that but there's no responsibility taken by the clubs for their actions...And now with them considering removing the 90 minute rule for youth setups, it's going to get even worse... English football is dying a horrible death right now... The World Cup proved that but because we apparently have the best league in the world nothing is ever done to prevent numerous clubs from going under because of overspending in an attempt to get more money... How bigger clubs are allowed to wallow in so much debt is beyond me... It's completely unfair but because it's the big teams it's always ignored... There's always been preferential treatment for the top teams, no ifs or buts... And because of the monopoly I doubt we'll ever see another time when teams like Newcastle or Blackburn will win because they won't want to risk it...I think all fans think like that anyway that the press think they're rubbish... Heard Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool fans all say it, so by logical reasoning the press must hate everyone right? Like I said...

1 - Nemesis2 - Hex3 - Megaphobia 4 - Oblivion5 - Detonator6 - Fury7 - Air8 - Wild Mouse (Blackpool)9 - Vampire10 - SpeedThink that's about right imo...

Of course I am, I don't beat around the bush... Of some actual interest, Vekoma have officially put up their version of Soarin on their website...http://www.vekoma.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=99&Itemid=57One is already going to Taiwan, and 2 more are expected to be announced soon...

These trains are just cute...

Stealth's promo poster involves in having B&M restraints...I highly doubt they care THAT much about really, really picky details like that when making it...

^TV spot for Krake should be released today from what I could gather on their Facebook (which is of course, in German)...2 brand new B&Ms for me this year

In Dougie I trust... And Steve Parish <3

Rep for you...Urgh stupid Watford... Oh wells, need to focus for Saturday... 6 pointer much?

This is shaping up nicely... Can't wait...

Bout time I can reply to this... I love the way you've kept editing your post from the original one... Throw your stats at me all you want, it's actually relatively hard to compare Rooney and Torres because they are both very different strikers... Whilst they share some trademarks of flair and skill, they are not equal, Rooney is often played in a deeper role, meaning that he probably will get fewer chances in a game in comparison to Torres, where he was one out of two outlets Liverpool had...For the record, they've both been crap this season... I support a team NOT in the Moneybags League, so I'm not biased in any way shape or form towards one of them, it's a joint hatred for various reasons... What if he doesn't? Then he's not worth it? Quite frankly for that fee he should be able to link into a team well... Chelsea are hated... As are Man Utd, and Liverpool, and Arsenal, and Spurs... Each one for different reasons... The media pick onto teams in slumps because it's easier to find faults... Saw exactly the same when Liverpool were being crap (I.e. every last couple of years), and the same for any particular 'big' player (you did read the papers after the World Cup right?) 1) He has been this season in comparison to others... £50 million is way too much... 2) Easily... What has he been like off the ball as well? Players are rather easy to see from the stands how much they want to play... It's a simple thing... Plus there is so much expectation of him... £50 million? Off rivals? 3) I don't support United, so couldn't care less about Berbatov, next...4) Everyone knows that English players are so over inflated... Mike Ashley walked to the bank beaming when Liverpool (or Liverfool in this instance) came knocking... One good season in the Championship and half of one in the Premiership? Now injured... Perfect, let Liverpool waste their money...5) That sickens me... Chelsea are posting HUGE losses... Yet manage to spend 50 mill? It's exactly that which is disgraceful about football... If that was any other business it would've been closed down ages ago, but because it's football, it's allowed (from more than Chelsea, Utd and a few others are guilty of this)...Besides, if UEFA actually bring in the monetary limits on European competitions, that 50 million won't look too clever will it? Let alone the 20 million odd for David Luiz as well...Another note, don't label me as a Man Utd fan... That actually sickens me... And please, UK football atmosphere has been awful for years now... I don't think there's been a game recently when I've thought "Wow, listen to the crowd, they're really excited"...

You'll find in life that as we get older around 18-25 there is a slight mental age regression that occurs...This is predominant in universities worldwide...

Torres has been crap all season though...

Press release from the park...

I don't think I'd ever see Alton setting up a Bullet For My Valentine concert...Most likely would be Muse...But I've seen JLS fans... They're annoying...

What a fanatastic line-up...Maybe if they all stand together I can hit them all with my AK-47...Although Eliza can survive...
