Adventure Island - Southend
Well yeah, British seaside resort related things are tacky... Ever been to Blackpool? Tack central...AI is a fine enough place though... It has a decent enough atmosphere...

'The Wizarding World of Harry Potter'
Darkness in a DARK ride? How dare they?Onto the actual ride POV... Wow... Has anyone watched the Ollivander's video as well? There are gonna be some really happy kids at the end of their trip if they get chosen on it...

Peter, red is by FAR the most awesome colour I've seen in there... Green can go away...

Thorpe Park Meetup - Sunday 30th May 2010
I left the park early due to the epic busyness of it... But having been at meet-ups of groups of 50+ people going around together all day only splitting up for lunch, it's not impossible to have such a day out where you pick and choose rides based on the majority decision and if people don't wanna go on they wait near the ride...Instead of meeting at 1:00, why not meet up 30 minutes after park opening? So everyone gets to spend the day together?Simple...

'The Wizarding World of Harry Potter'
YES!This is theming ladies and gentlemen... Absolute class theming from top to bottom... I can't wait to see the ride now... That queue is just so epic, with it seeming to have several different coversations for the characters you see... PLUS Sorting Hat giving out safety spiel in rhyme <3

Chessington General Discussion
For this year there will be TWO more species added into the safari... Gazelles and Ostriches!It's nowhere near finished yet, but after a month or two that area will be great...So much potential as well... I'm so excited

Chessington General Discussion
If I recall correctly, basically all the 'side' zoo areas (Monkey and Bird, Creature Features and Trail of the Kings) get closed and closing...Not too sure on that one though...

Chessington General Discussion
Certainly hasn't been the case in at least the last 3 years...
-
Chessington General Discussion
Yes...I think they close sometime before actual closing...The only things open at closing are the snack places and shops...

Hex
Peter's already mentioned why Hex is buggered (a rather annoying thing considering) but Duel has NEEDED the attention, Hex has only had a sudden attack of the bad times...Hopefully Hex will be back up and running to it's full potential soon, but my only worry is based on how long it took Chessie to get the new fuses last year to sort out the LotD PA systems...

Future Of Chessington
Nah I'll just sit on the platform floor instead...Veering back on topic, won't we also (finally) see the back of Imperial Leather next year? Not that I'm expecting a full retheme anytime soon...Do hope a Toytown redo isn't the only thing next year as well if that's the plan...

Th13teen
They did, it was opening weekend, then obviously since then it's decided to mess about after giving the staff the glimmer of hope that they wouldn't have any problems

Suddenly, a great sound of disappointment was heard throughout the TPM land as many users had also hoped for such a privilege...

Legoland
So this isn't a new attraction which has already been a successful addition to not only two of the UK parks already but to quite a few of the other Legoland parks?Sea-Life will be popular as hell...

Legoland
Windsor is applying for permission to construct a Sea-Life...http://www.rbwm.gov.uk/pam/planning_application_search.jsp?appnum=10%2F01122%2FFULLInterestingly though, it could be an actual ride system rather than a walk-through...

Thorpe Park Meetup - Sunday 30th May 2010
I may be at the park Sunday depending on parents...So probs if bump into the group may say some hellos (especially to Mikey T )
-
Future Of Chessington
Hopefully that means it could be themed to Forbidden Kingdom then...Although would that be a replacement for Jumbos or a completely new ride?Yay for rumours!

Oblivion
Same thing for Griffon... Both of them have nothing compared to Oblivion's forcefulness...

Oblivion
Depends on if you have a fear of heights or not don't it how terrifying it is for you...

Chessington General Discussion
Geeky chats with staff? No way!

Lightwater Valley
Raptor Attack was redone by the theming team behind Wild Asia...Ultimate however is the most strangest and awesome coaster I've ever been on...

Blackpool Pleasure Beach
I have indeed been on the ride...And most of the stuff didn't work...And of course it's such a BRILLIANT idea to have such a wet ride on the coast...
