    FIFA are money-grabbing corrupt old people...Who knew?
  2. Big fat massive LOL to Towers...Cutting corners is NOT the way to go... Considering what Dreamworks have seen Universal do with the Shrek brand in Singapore, Alton would've needed to get a lot of stuff for them to be happy...Glad though, IPs are terrible in our parks... Not to mention the rethemes that go with them...
  3. Yay for straight drop meaning it had to do something else before the zero-g
  4. Is the right answer!Look at Disney, rides like Teacups, Dumbo, Star Tours and similar are just effectively dressed up 'fairground' rides... What makes a ride fairgroundy anyways? Neither does Legoland, but this is due to the main target audience of the park... Chessie has only ever had 3 rides with a 1.4m restriction, 1 of them having a 1.2m one when it opened... What do you expect from a park that got aimed at kids (and now the tween/family market)? 90% of the park being adult thrill?Having rides with high restrictions doesn't make you have a good park... I've been on plenty lacklustre 1.4m rides which are very inferior to some 1.2m and less rides...
  5. Don't think Merlin are bad enough to put a Sea-Life in the Tower when there's already one down the road from it
  6. And York Dungeons, and Edinburgh Dungeons, and so on...What about all their Sea-Lifes as well?I've never been to the Tower itself when in Blackpool because I've just never really felt like it... And considering how popular the Merlin Brands are there is a very obvious reason why they're doing this for the Tower... And it may also help Blackpool in the long run... The thing about our sea-side resorts is that they are just not as popular as they once were... It's that simple really... So if Merlin can get people thinking "Oh the London Eye is good, let's check out the Tower Eye" and get more punters visiting who may not do normally will mean some more money in the future...Also, why are we complaining about Cheese in Blackpool? The whole bloody place is tacky as hell!
  7. MEGA BUMPhttp://www.theblackpooltower.co.uk/Confirmation of the two attractions going into the Tower itself...
  8. LIES!!!! STORM SURGE IS TEH BESTEST RIDE EVARS!!!!!

    Why didn't you embed this instead of stringing us to your youtube account?
  10. A ride like Storm Surge but not?Sense, your post does not make...And regarding Ice Age as an IP, they did the random attraction to tie into the third film, but they shouldn't dedicate an area to it, like Shrek for Towers, it's had multiple films and just cannot go any further... It should be left in peace... Originality is something Chessie should focus on due to the park's in place structure... No more IPs Merlin!

    Dinner

    Southern Fried Chicken and McCain Smiles ftw
  12. Thorpe did it with Saw, so I can see his reasoning

    Yeahhhhhh, random metal amusement...
  14. ^Where's this new land going? What's going into it? Why are we adding a train? Chessie had a train years ago... It doesn't need one at all... The park's too small to warrant any form of transportation...
  15. I still sometimes smell the party pod scene on occasion...I swear the show has scarred me more than Bubbles ever did
  16. Over-rated tbh... It was over so bloody quickly...I'm also gonna add that GCI Woodie at Knights Valley in China...

    Your Thorpe Park

    Inversions in many cases are not the point of the coaster...Stealth is one of them... In my top 5 coasters 1 inverts, and that's Nemesis, only 2 more inverting coasters appear in my top 10...Tbh, I'd rather pick on your idiocy of removing an entire coaster just because the sponsorship is going... Let's look at what Six Flags are doing atm when removing their sponsors on rides, are they removing the Tony Hawk rides? No, renaming! Evel Kenival? Rename! Terminator Salvation? RENAME!Then again, your plan involves 4 coasters in TWO years!!!! I know this is for people's ideas, but can we not at least be relatively logical in our ideas? Jesus wept...
  18. I don't get people's obession with Rapids...And if they're gonna have any ride in the Safari, it will be like Rhino Rally...

    More famously known for Airplane and the Naked Gun films...How far he fell in recent years with the constant Scary Movie (and I'm sure the other ones) appearances... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A5t5_O8hdA <3
  21. It's effectively porn Mikey... Pure utter delightful theme park porn... Now if you all excuse me I want to be left alone with my guide DVD of it... Even without ToT and Raging Spirits it's amazing...
  22. There's only one place really I want to go these days without any shadow of a doubt...Tokyo DisneySEA...That IS beautiful...

    Jobs..

    ^The student dossers money is currently the best thing...Of course, then when I get a job I'm screwed... But that's life... Bring on the debt I say!
  24. ^And water effects that amuse when people are scared of the dragon scene... As well as the foam/snow...And of course, the SEAGULL!

    It doesn't go at the same speed... 20mph is a BIG difference...And all Accelerators can rollback, in fact I wager a guess that all launched rides can rollback... Sometimes the power from the system just isn't enough... It's happened before I'm sure...Also, it's GOES... And, DOES...
