  1. I feel like picking up on your point James, such is the mood I'm in... Can't say much on this since I think I've been in that car park once but it does need something... It's not too bad having it as an overflow (I.e. Towers), but to have a major parking space as grass is very dodgy... Similar can be said of Thorpe's overflows... I'm sure they can find a way to make it all tarmac eventually... And again, so so true... There's one decent set of toilets in the park, and that's the Tomb ones... The rest are very small and very pathetic (my personal 'faves' being Mystic East and Market Square)... Though why you decided to walk around the park instead of queue confuses me, even with a 4 year old... Surely it may well have been quicker to queue at one... But yeah, toilets are in definite need of a rebuild... And maybe one or two more needed around the park, maybe one in Wanyama (since the nearest are at the entrance), one close to Buccy, and Mexicana... Parks should have a minimum of one set of decent toilets in each area... Chessie doesn't have this and if they get more popular NEED to improve it...

    Something wrong with Stealth only having 6 points? I think not...

    Lack of neg rep disappoints me :PShould be done to at least give some people an indication as to who's useless
  14. Control would be evacuated as well since they live on top of HPH...As to why, who knows, fire alarm, panic alarm... Could be anything...
  15. That's because:A - Mauer Sohne suck...B - B&Ms are awesome...C - Chessie appear to have some silly ruling about capacity in the rain...Thankyou for that fact, I can now sleep easy knowing that Fury has a lower capacity than Inferno when it rains... (And when it's sunny/hail/etc)...
  16. Backdraft is nothing like Twister... Completely different... Main difference is the amazing COW <3LA Universal isn't that great anyways... Aside from the tram tour... Shrek is still amusing though regardless... Certainly one of the best 4-D shows around...Still don't want it at Towers though...

    Such is the nature of these rides...You get similar feelings on KMG Afterburners, Gyro Swings and whatever else has some form of spinning disc holding the riders...It's popular and fun, that's what the park needed, and I for one am glad of it's presence at the park...

    I'm suprised they've managed to get it working with three trains this Halloween... Considering how much the chain doesn't like the cold and changing speed so regularly...

  24. Oh how I wish the theming had been slightly more substanial...We all can't get what we want though...
  25. Now, Shrek 4-D is actually amazing...But, assuming they just re-use the same footage, it's a 7 year old attraction... And the film's are worse (and possible/hopefully finished) then it was all those years ago...I have... Minimal hope that this happens... Especially considering that image of why it's reckoned to be Shrek... Dear oh dear...Does Storybookland need something done to it? Yes, preferably by getting rid of that red and blue turd next door and theming all in one piece... A decent sized new attraction that can promote itself to families based on it's substance rather than "OHHHHH LOOK AT THE BIG SHINY CHARACTER!" would always be my choice, this is why I'd never do well being in charge of a themepark...So much for Merlin's in-house stuff eh?
