  1. Concept art's a wonderful thing like that...You know, like Thorpe put B&M restraints on their image of Stealth in recent years...

    I already used this joke a couple of pages back... Keep up love...
  3. Well considering what Gardaland have announced today I think it's time this park got it's own little topic...Onto the juicy stuff then...Gardaland has announced it's newest addition, which is a new B&M type where passengers sit on the sides of the track. The coaster's temporary name is X-Raptor. Some more information:- The station will be underground- 800m long track- 30m tall- 90° high speed turn- Close encounters with objects- Will go over water with special water effects added- 2 elements where passengers will feel zero gravitySo yeah... Discuss this and also the rest of the park (which has rides like Fuga Atlantide, Ramses, Mammut and a Screaming Squirrel)
  4. Amazing that you can tell the age of a person from the back of their head as well... Maybe you should go into the psychic business?

    There aren't many great flumes in the world anyway...The best one are usually the ones with heavy theming around it (Splash Mt and Europa's) or rather good drops (Loggers and Kennywood's)...I do wish they would replace the rocks and other theming on Falls, the new canopy is a start... But it would look so much better if the entire top was themed to the Great Wall... Plus extra stuff being added into the tunnel would be even better...Hell, make the Gold Wash thingy 'indoors' with the new rocks...

    Should be complain about that?There's only one park in the world that has better Intamins than B&Ms...

    ^^^ Touche Josh... Touche... ;)EDIT - My new house doorbell has "It's a small world"'s theme on it... So guess what I wanted it to be...
  8. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    Edited for accuracy...

    Apple products are generally crap...Just thought I'd throw that out there...
  10. Benin replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    HAH!Sorry... But no... Very few rides can even be placed near Nemesis, and Thirteen is NOT one of them... A good family coaster, but nothing special...Yeah, don't be like Keith...

    ^Queueline wise, it used to have the rotating tunnel, and the lifts...Aside from that, all I can remember really... Like many things, it had a budget crisis, and hence did not become the thing RMC wanted it to be...
  12. How 'entertaining'...Yeah, I didn't find it amusing in any way, shape or form... So yeah...You're a bit of a pillock aren't you... Know I wouldn't be happy if a complete stranger came over to me and sprayed me with crap...And saying your video on youtube has a high number of hits means nothing, since the average IQ level of youtubers is pretty low...

    Different people have different tastes? Who knew...I can easily tune out music (and indeed, could easily put on some of my own music and easily win the battle) but when it's being played at such a volume that the walls of my house are physically vibrating then it's obviously too loud...
  14. Benin replied to Theme Park bloke's topic in The Real World
    Hmmmm, neighbours have a very good bass system...Unfortunately, it's being used for r'n'b music, rather than music that's any good... Annoyed times...
  15. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    ^Surely it was 5 already considering helicopters were out t'other day?

    Benin replied to Garyy's topic in The Past
    Funnily enough I've had the complete opposite, all the times I've ridden it in the dark and it's still boring...
  17. Benin replied to MikeC's topic in The Future
    I bet that it'll follow a train of being excessively over-hyped through a mixture of marketing and enthusiasts bigging it up to be the best thing in the world...Then we get a rough and unreliable ride that breaks down in it's first hour of operation...And it won't be what any enthusiast wanted...
  18. Benin replied to Garyy's topic in General Discussion
    Hot damn... Who'd thought that a water ride would be most popular on sunny days...
  19. Benin replied to MikeC's topic in The Future
    Yes, because EVERY X-car ride looks like Abismo... I only said X-car as a joke...
  20. Benin replied to MikeC's topic in The Future
    ^So it's gonna be an Intamin then?I KNEW there was gonna be something wrong with this... -_-In regards to me not thinking it looks like a 4-D drop, it's mainly my thinking of "Holy crap that's gonna hurt"... It starts with excessive hangtime, followed by half a pretzel loop, which after experiencing one on Tatsu a few years ago, is something I don't particularly want to repeat on a regular basis since it tried to rip my legs off... One hopes that the final design resembles at most 0% of that image...Just my two pence really...
  21. Benin replied to MikeC's topic in The Future
    Erm... 4-D drop that is not... In fact I see that and instantly see a Mauer Sohne X-Car drop... -_-Though granted because I cannot seem to enlarge the images it's hard for me to actually tell...
  22. Benin replied to Sheepie's topic in UK Attractions
    Next time you go hand out the stuff you were on so we can all enjoy your experience on this piece of faeces...
  23. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    Ruthless German efficiency strikes again...
  24. Benin replied to MikeC's topic in The Future
    Since whenever a new coaster is planned Aquatrax is ALWAYS mentioned...
  25. Benin replied to MikeC's topic in The Future
    Intamin Aquatrax coaster will be the second one coming in...Simples...
