Merlin expanding some more into Florida, and more specifically, the Orland area...http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/os-merlin-announcement-orlando-20110302,0,1456902.story

I think... What settles this is that Ricky voted for Wild Asia
-
It really does look snazzy...I think it will be a very good solid addition to the park, especially with the theme, and it looks like fun...Well done Drayton...
-
It's comments like that that make not not only depise people's stupidity, but also make me feel better about myself because I'm not that stupid...Funny old world...Reminded me of the woman on Towers Facebook complaining about the hotel serving Halal chicken and telling people not to go because of it... Daft person...

Why can smaller parks theme their rides better than Merlin though?They should have less budget, yet we get things like Fluch von Novgorod, Mystery Mine, Raptor Attack... Hell even Troublesome Trucks is more themed than Saw...

Neither have the best theming in their parks...But Wild Asia has Lorikeets and Banyan <3

Despicable MeIt's a good film, unfortunately with Toy Story 3 also out this year it certainly was over-shadowed to a degree...However, it's still great fun, because it's a lot of slapstick comedy which helps it work on a world-wide level...And the Lehman Brother joke <3 Joke of the year by far...Also, Minions <39/10PaulI really really enjoyed this... There was a slight worry that it wasn't going to reach similar levels as Shaun and Fuzz, but it damn well tried it's best and succeeded in my opinion... All the characters involved were very entertaining, from Mr Tambor's turn as that famous guy who hates his fans, and Jason Bateman's sneer... Everyone involved played their roles extremely well...Paul himself... Is weird... It's a CGI alien voiced by Seth Rogen... And considering he acts like Seth Rogen in many of his other films, it's hard to actually not see Seth himself... A slight blergh on my part, but never the less he was very entertaining and actually partly loveable...Is it as good as Shaun and Fuzz? I didn't think so because of the slight lull in the plot speed at points, but, it's not too far away from the two...9/10

How much was Fast-track last year? Last I remember was 7 quid for 6 rides but that was in 2009...Thing is, if it's gonna work like that, gonna be some messed up pieces of paper... It makes little sense to have Vampire, Kobra and Fury on the same one as Toadies, Truckers and Jumbos... (Of course saying that, I of course will ride Toadies and Jumbos should the queues be acceptable)...

And this is not abusing Mark as we love him...

Defo the same by looks of things...Since it was always a shop, the main entrance (into Octopus Gardens) wasn't enough and rather claustrophobic when busy...Hence, another entrance was made... Simple solution here... Help reduce everyone trying to get in and out of one section by building another in the side...
-
Trucks needs to go die ANYWAY...Fast-track added on... It's just going to be a nightmare for everyone involved, I honestly feel sorry for those who have to work on it this year with that added on... Absolute shambles...It's very similar to Lego having Q-bot on loads of small attractions, but at least they are limited by the time-frame given to them, unless Chessie revamps the system here, the queue for Truckers WILL be an hour in peak days... And that's not right at all...Jumbos as Mark said is similar... It's always got consistently high queues in peak days, and it doesn't have the full overall capacity to allow easy acceptance of Fast-track...And Toadies? Just... WHY?I liked Chessie's low number of rides on Fast-track, especially as they were all rides that could take on the extra number of people without kicking up too much of a fuss aside from those exceptionally busy days... Why are Chessie wasting money on things like this when there are a lot bigger and more important things to do... It's not like they don't sell enough surely?And if they're doing it to help warrant an increase in price? What crap that would be, yeah I wanna go on Fury and Vampire before hitting up Truckers... Bloody brilliant...
-
It does seem very random this, as there's no way I can see people saving money using this...If they did it for families rather than individuals, then I could see an idea forming, but... I don't think the average spend per head in March will be that high just for f&b...

The great Chessington website war of 2011 begins TODAY!

This is Chessie's problem atm though, it's stuck in a loop of investment versus income...The park CAN get the people in... That much is certain, but it seems that it needs to prove that fact to the big bosses, because it appears that if it doesn't do well enough in their eyes, projects like Toytown get cancelled, yet that would give the park something to heavily advertise and get more people in...Consider the fact that between Fury and Sea-Life, with barely any investment bar Peeking and a hotel, the park was still able to bring in a million guests a year... And in 2009 broke into the top 20 visited European parks...I don't really remember working there when it hit capacity, but my point is that if they CAN do it, then they can prove that the park is completely worth the investment of a Gerstlauer Launched and beyond...
-
Good for Chessie I say...Now they need to hit capacity during the actual season to show how popular and in need of higher investment it is...
