  1. That scene lost everything magical about it (as did the rest of the ride) when it got rethemed...
  2. Quiet days are amazing... <3Like today will be... If I don't crash my car on the way there 2'000 gate figures are lush...
  3. I realise this, and have done for a while, and it greatly annoyed me at Towers' Scarefest last year with the random music (though that may have been the Twilight link, I'm not sure), so I just generally dislike it, even if they had two songs I actually liked on that loop... It was too short and generally silly...Though Oblivion kept it's music <3Can't say about the other times, but it's usually changed for events only... Thorpe is trying to be very typical American Amusement Park atm, but it's not quite the same at all...
  4. I take it the others are then decided by the engineers? Mainly thinking the Lost City ones cos they're the most likely to have varied settings... Especially Rush... It doesn't make a nice change when you dislike the music... Ok same could be said of the themed music but hey, at least it's making it a THEME park...

    Rush

    Wouldn't go as far as to say it was sexist that comment, but it was still rather short-sighted to say... Especially for those male members who have worked their arses off at the parks themselves...

    If I hadn't looked on this topic I wouldn't have noticed those bits...Meh, least they're nice and tidy and not in one of them annoying pop-up boxes...

    Rush

    No... It's the person, not the sex that affects the way they work...

    Music

    Most bands do have relatively rigid setlists in their tours anyways, changing one or two songs per venue...It's like when I looked up Rammstein's setlists of the UK shows they did... The same basic songs played at each one... Such is the way of gigs...
  9. Different speed setting is the answer here... Paultons have a lot more belief in their version and obviously do enjoy making it a more exciting ride for the kids...Griffins of course can go faster... But it's a case of getting it changed and whether or not the management want to do that...Another mystery solved Watson...
  10. ^What mirror?Do you mean where the dragon head is?

    Music

    As much as I love Muse, seeing them twice in two days with most likely the same setlist would be slightly ott for me...Especially when Friday has Lily Allen </3

    Oh yes... Let's darken this page up a bit...

    ^But you're still being such a fanboy about Thirteen...Just saying...

    Th13teen

    Sigh, I assume this is because they don't know every detail about rides? It's all these bloody opinions again, seems to be a running theme on here atm...Thirteen is the very definition of average... The outdoor portion is poor, but the indoor portion is good... That's literally it...
  15. ^Same height restriction, yet completely different seating restrictions is what Mark's on about...
  16. Your opinion about opinions is wrong...
  17. Very easily if you think about it... Ok, I'm thinking of rather wilder opinions than "Thorpe is better than Alton" (Nazis for example), but hey, if we're comparing these two vastly different parks then we can compare the difference between opinions of such variance...When I put my last trips to the two parks it's clear to me which is the superior one... But that might be because I don't care about having to walk more than 2 seconds to another ride...
  18. It might be Will's opinion, but when his earlier posts (as quoted by Matthew) state that the exams are getting easier directly oppose his current "Oh they're not actually getting easier" reaction then something's up...There's no need for pointless circular arguements about exams since everyone learns differently and at different paces... I'm crap at exams, hence why I ended up doing a BTEC... But in the end, it felt like the BTEC was a better move since at college it's so much more similar to university and I was actually learning specific stuff to the course I wanted that people weren't learning at A-Level... The proof being that in certain lectures many people were looking rather blankly when some topics were mentioned...In all honesty, you're both being childish... Go sit on the naughty step...
  19. Ohhhhhh dodgy current connector alert...Yeah, I remember doing some army-esque manouveres down the platform to manual release every seat... <3

    Random

    A car, I has one...
  21. QUEUES?! At a theme park? Jesus stop the presses...Yeah, Towers is big, but so are three quarters of the parks in America... Don't see anyone complaining about having to walk 'miles' to get from ride to ride and then queue up again...And I've never really seen massive queues at Towers either... Probs seen them at an hour or so at most... So yeah, you must be timing your visits during busier times of the season...
  22. If exams are getting easier, why isn't everyone getting As and Bs?Also, what's with the BBC only showing girls hugging/crying/ringing parents on their newslots about results?British media sucks... But that's an arguement for another day...
