  1. Don't forget I had to endure it throughout the summer... Mind-numbing 30 minutes were abound!Peter will back me up come January... Mark my words
  2. ^To be fair, the London Eye 4-D Experience has 3 of those 4 effects...So basically, effects do not make a show great... Although may slightly improve the quality of the show...Though nothing can save the London Eye one
  3. I need to go to China soon... FACT...
  4. Taken from Towerstimes who in turn took it from Park WorldLooks like we got a cinema on it's way...
  5. Like you you mean?I mean the day I saw you at Chessie for the 'meet', you woke up late, got Marc to leave the park and pick you up, came in at 1, and when you met up with the rest of us you spent 99% of the time on your phone...And then you left at like... 3... You can say it's a bore all you want, but if you only give a park 2 hours for a chance then you're not in the right mind-set... Especially when you don't even try and talk to other people just on your phone...

    SAW: Alive

    I'm sure someone will be hanging around Monk's Walk soon enough to stand and look at Thorpe closed...

    Random

    On the other hand, they're being very offensive towards those soldiers over the years who have died fighting for ours (and in some cases, their) freedom... I can understand people's anger towards it completely... It's the same thing that happened with the Qu'ran burning the other week...Those who did it should be sent packing though, if they don't like this country they don't have to live here...

    Th13teen

    It's real...And yes, considering it's several hundreds of volts coursing around there, I'd imagine if you were inside the cage you would become "Deep Fried" so to speak...And it's amazing...
  9. That's exceptionally random with the whips...Is it still Midnight Syndicate they use?
  10. ^Unfortunately the way our media works is that things only are interesting when stuff goes down...Like when Big Dipper crashed, as soon as they found out no-one was hurt/injured, it barely got a mention in the national news... Whilst when Rush tried to kill loads of people with the giant washer of doom, it was everywhere...
  11. ^Some great stuff there John...But three things really...Firstly unless they radically change Griffins it will never be surrounded by water due to the mechanics/electrics being underneath it... But I wish it were possible since the fake water is really poor...Secondly, Bubbleworks I feel doesn't have a capacity issue, just is very popular as everyone can go on it... Though I like the idea of an Omnimover, it would require a lot more work than just using the boat mechanism (and then we'd have no reason for the Fountain Finale to be there )...Thirdly, not too keen on the Forbidden Kingdom to Wanyama link up... Especially with Mexicana in the way, but then again it's something the park needs to work out... Either making them both American (Kingdom becomes Aztec for South America), or Mexican becomes African themed (Diamond Mines, and something else I guess for Rattlesnake)...But still, some awesome ideas...
  12. Considering they were advertising it at my uni under the name DEMOLITION!, I'm not too suprised...But certainly a minority doing it as per the norm... I don't want fees going up though, doubt anyone does really... But really it's very much a case of damned if they do situation... Not saying it's right for the Tories to do it, but odds on Labour may have considered a similar thing if they were in power...It's all Labour's fault that fees exist anyways...
  13. Evidently it's what people actually find offensive...Evidently some people take the internet way too seriously as well... May as well not have bothered suggesting it because what if people don't win and it hurts their little hearts? Some people need to lighten up and realise that these would NOT be serious and are for fun... If you took offense to being called a 'goon', 'credit whore' or 'fanboy' (as per the other site), then you need to look at yourself and think why you're taking it so seriously...
  14. Can we add Biggest Fanboy onto the list then instead?Though after seeing some people's reactions to nominations on other forums for certain awards, I can now understand the lack of wanting negativity... Some people just can't enjoy a laugh...
  15. ^You getting ideas for your future then Keith?Or will it all just be Vampire themed?
  16. And Storm Surge fits into this HOW?

    Slammer

    Why is it so?Thorpe 'apparently' (since I haven't been much this year and they were both usual days of busy times mixed with do not want), have improved it's reliability and other things... Granted Thorpe didn't particularly impress me on my two visits this year, but hey, my mood of seeing 2 coasters down in the morning was never gonna improve... They've evidently tried a lot harder to fix rides with Slammer being the obvious example (yes it broke again, but it's the only existing version of it atm, so hey)...
  18. But I'm neither dead nor a girl... So that makes no sense... Wasn' t the zone's actual theme to do with a zombie outbreak?The HHN zones don't really have epically intertwined storylines, just a lot of focus on theming around a specific theme... They could have easily worked well with the ride graveyard theme with some reference to maybe a dead ride op or something silly like that coming back and being angry and bringing back old friends to take the park over...However, if they want to do it again, one path does not a scare zone make...
  19. ^If Thorpe put in a Tiny Truckers like ride I would personally go over there and slap whoever made that decision...That's just what they need with their lack of children's rides, a low capacity one
  20. Well there's.....- Best Member (Obvious one really, who's been the best person over the year)- Best Newcomer (The person who since the start of the year has made the best/biggest impact)- Best Team Member (The Team Member who does everything and anything to make it all work)- Worst Team Member (As in the Team Member who doesn't exactly do a lot for the site/forum)- Attention Whore Award (The one who posts just to get attention or to cause some form of controversy)- Spammer Award (The one who never posts anything substantial)- Geekiest Member (The one who knows everything)- Most Predictable Member (Everyone knows what's coming when this person posts be it good or bad)- Most Enthusiastic (The one who enjoys rides and parks the most rain or shine)- Best Looking Member (Boys and Girls)Just a few to start you off with, but I suggest for this month we have nominations and then in December go for the voting rounds...
  21. Suggestion time...Forum Awards? Just for fun obviously but something that could be done as it's the end of the year?They've been done before and I've seen other forums I'm on have them so why not here?
