    Nothing sweetie wise is worth £4...
  2. I like you already...
  3. ^Loving the Monorail ideas Mikey... I would love it if they updated that mural in the car park station... New TVs abound as well with a much longer (and less annoying) soundtrack to go with it... Ride wise, the park does need one or two quality flats to support X-Sector and Dark Forest...For X-Sector it desperately needs updating, so I would personally remove Submission and Enterprise and replace them with new flats to start, before repainting Oblivion as well as updating it's queueline and the like (TVs, queue layout)... An indoor attraction (be it coaster or preferably dark ride) would finish off the area...Dark Forest a la Mikey I would want to remove Rita and make Thirteen the focus, Rita will ALWAYS look out of place no matter what... Improving the area's look to give it more of a theme (and interconnecting it with Hex and the square) would occur, as well as one (maybe two) flats themed to evil trees or the like...Another area that needs work is Storybookland/Adventureland... Both are a relative mess let's be honest... Spinball is just THERE and always has the biggest queue of the day... I'm tempted to keep the Storybookland theme but also to replace it... But in my world Spinball would be relocated (if possible) to Cuckoo Land (more later), and the area regenerated including a new show (of some description) and maybe a Vekoma Roller Skater and a few flats... Nothing too garish as to return to the original majestic entrance view...I picked up on relocating Spinball to Cuckoo Land (old Coaster Corner) themed to the Sir Algeon's strange machine of some form... This would also include a Charlie retheme... It needs to become a quality dark ride with original story-line and several animatronics... Again can be linked to Sir Algeon and the other characters they brought in... Driving School could also have some theming additions to help it link in more... Flume, basically themed to Mutiny Bay... Renovated and the like at basic... Or maybe being replaced by a new layout into the trees... Not sure...Elsewhere, generic improvements (Duel theming), would be added onto the park... And the Air tunnel getting some actual theming/styling whatever would be done...
  4. Revenge of the Mummy - FloridaThis is how to do a dark-ride-coaster hybrid... Great theming at the start with subtle little details... Granted the backwards section isn't long (or of any length in fact), but the launch up-hill and the coaster portion (and roof on fire) provide an extremely fun and enjoyable ride that made me want to go on again and again...Top Thrill DragsterQuite possibly the BEST accelerator in the world... Lap-bars, seat-belts, an amazingly tall structure and some awesome SFX (and a grandstand, take THAT Stealth), give this ride an excellent atmosphere... And when it's the first ride to make me nervous in years and then cause me to be extremely pumped up afterwards for 30 minutes, just shows how amazing this ride is...The BeastAhhhhh Wooden coasters are always fun, as are rides that you can watch from various areas of the park... But this ride goes against all reason... You only see the first (of two) lift hills on this, and then you get treated to 5/6 minutes of a very fast jaunt in the woods, picking up speed continuously over long downward straights... In the back and front this is amazing, and when you add pitch black night into the equation, it truly is stunning...Tonnere de ZeusAnother Wooden coaster, but this isn't nicknamed "Ton of Air" for no reason... Beautiful setting against the lake and again you don't see that much of the main bulk of the ride from the pathways/queue, just the ending and the brakes (of excessive stoppage and DOOM)... It's just an insanely fun ride that you will not spend in your seat 90% of the time...

  6. Don't forget who I support Marc, you're having a great season in comparison ;)And I agree with Peter...
  7. To see the England game at 9:30? Fair weather supporter
  8. I really don't see the point in 4D cinemas these days due to the massive popularity and availablity of 3D... At Chessie, we already have HPH, so there's no real need for any more 3D attractions...Plus, there aren't exactly that many good 3D films about... There's like two and neither of which I would like to see at Chessie...
  9. First place of the night is...TESCO EXTRAMore to come as Marc updates his FB
  10. Obviously when Truckers was built (all the way back in 1993) it wasn't blocking anything...Now of course it is...Can Chessie afford to lose it? At this actual moment right now? Not really... BUT if they build a new attraction somewhere else in the park that little ones can enjoy? Then yes... And I will personally tear Truckers apart with a crowbar if they want me to so they can save even more money on it...And to Peter, yes that's very true about the lost children thing, but if any parent is stupid enough to let their child out of sight then they deserve to lose them... Another reason why I want Playhouse and Capers gone, the staff are not there to babysit your kids...
  11. A few more images for you all...The new X-Train from Maueur...Funky light-up wheels...Forumla Rossa being advertised by Intamin...A Zamperla Air-Race car...Sally Corp bring a new "Scream in the Dark" thing to get bonus points on their shooters...Epic theme...Mack booth (for Mark )Twist and Splash (Please Chessie, get one for the Rodeo spot)...That's all for now...
  12. Benin replied to Marc's topic in UK Attractions
    Some people are never bloody pleased are they? You wanna make it a loop do it yourself, be greateful Outfit decided to give us the bit of music...
  13. What Ryan said... If you're gonna post up about eating out for food every single night for a long time then some banter is bound to happen... I'm sure Marc is taking this in good form tbh...
  14. I'm changing my to ALL possible options tomorrow judging by how this evening has gone...
  15. I'd be suprised if Marc travelled up to Nottingham just for some strange owl themed restaurant...
  16. I think tomorrow... It will be the Carvery...
  17. Sneaky Detonator is sneaky...

    ^Ok what?Firstly, the coil wasn't working at the start of the season, so it was never gonna go...Second, how does it not make an impact? In that room it just makes so much noise and effort it makes everyone go "OMGWTFBBQ!"
  21. The main part is up... And a 3rd inversion (after the advertised 2) has been added!B&M <3
  22. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    Ahhhhhh 4Chan, where those with too much time on their hands go and dwell on the finer parts of the internet...Anon will always get their man...
  23. 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
  24. ^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
  25. I need to go to China soon... FACT...
