    I have a summer job at the London Eye... The grasp of Merlin is too strong for me to escape However, I will be spending a month doing nothing between finishing uni and starting it... Sad times...
  2. Well it's a hung parliament...Woo I guess... Though there'll be a few areas vying for a re-vote by the sounds of it because people all turned up at 10 to vote
  3. As an aside, can I ask if I'm the only immature one who cannot take the term "Well-Hung Parliament" seriously?
  4. We've been losing the battle since we went in... It's the modern day Vietnam...
  5. Did we need to go to war though? We didn't need to get involved at all...Bush said "Jump" to Blair and he asked "How high?"...That's the essential run-down of it...Brown is an idiot and Cameron is a slime-ball... I don't particularly want either of them in office... I see some of Blair in Cameron to a degree as well... Urgh...
  6. But did they not claim a few years ago that the current economy was 'recession proof'?I can imagine that a lot of families of the Iraq/Afghan troops will also have something to say about how Labour have run the country...
  7. Wait... What?Recession goes where?
  8. Or a Ferris Wheel that can use it's capacity and continuous loading... Basically a mini-London Eye, 99% of the guests compare Peeking to it anyways...Then they can also remove the crappy game things and put in a small flat ride...

    OMG!
  10. Not at all...Since Legoland attracts families and has the whole brand thing... Hence more people will go there because they know what they're getting more instantly than with Thorpe (and Chessie/Alton)... It's why Disney is the highest lot because of how well known the brand name is...Why do some people have a fixation with putting Thorpe in capitals? It's as bad as people typing Chessie in full and putting 'And Zoo' at the end...
  11. An entire day?I would throw up if it were Pizza Hut... It hasn't seemed to agree with me since 2006 unfortunately.,..McDonalds... Meh... Would get sickly after a while as well...
  12. No...Buccaneer is perfect where it is... Because of the height it reaches it can be viewed from most areas nearby it (indeed, you can see it from Greedy Goblin containment gates)...It also provides a great spectator element with the pathway placement...Pirates Cove does need a good fix up though... But there's more important things than that right now for the park...
  13. I think the term 'oops' just about covers that...Doesn't say if the people were ok or not though, so I assume they are... If they had been seriously injured or hurt that would've been all over the news...
  14. Benin replied to zkk's topic in Stuff
    YES! YES! YES! YES!What a bloody season... But Palace did it... This is the feeling of supporting a team, bricking it for 2 hours and then leaping around the house like a crazed idiot when the ref blew up...Absolutely amazing... I shall be buzzing on my way back to uni tonight...
  15. Benin replied to Sheepie's topic in UK Attractions
    Tesla times?Tbh unless they sort the queue out in such a way that you spend more time inside that area then it's a bit of a wasted thing...
  16. Sounds like one of those people "Don't you know who I am?"...God I'd be terrible in Guest Services
  17. It's not quicker... Just a much nicer side to be on since that queue is very very claustrophobic... Since the left-side is next to the open sides of the queue building...
  18. Extra Magic Hours ONLY is at the Magic Kingdom park and includes Discoveryland and Fantasyland... That is it... So no Crush...Therefore, you MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST! get to the Studios at latest 9:30 (when the park opens) and head straight to Crush... Otherwise you will experience a 90 minute queue at least... Santa Fe is typical cheap hotel fare tbh... That's about it for really useful tips... Big Thunder Mountain also gets 90 minute queue very regularly so either do that when it first opens OR get fastpass OR just endure the queue ensuring you stand in the left-side of the queue split...Also make time for Cinemagique, Animagique and Stitch Live... Each of them are very good entertaining shows...You might be lucky that Honey I shrunk the Audience will be gone... God that thing is so bloody awful...
  19. Benin replied to Harry's topic in General Discussion
    Water rides look so much better when the water looks clean...In the image above, it reminds of the the water ride at Flamingoland... God that water was mank as hell...
  20. Benin replied to Ryan's topic in Stuff
    God the Doctor had a ginger Scottish girl throw herself at him...I lol'd...But the series story is slowly coming together now... It picked up a lot of pace today for that part and hopefully it'll keep up...
  21. Towers' map does the job of a map 10x better than Thorpe's does...
  22. Benin replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    ^^Well Dr. Chessington would need a new place considering he got booted out of Burnt Stub by the wizard and goblins... Although I can't say the word time machine without thinking of Red Alert 3 and the Russian scientist guy saying it...
  23. Nerdgasm...If John Wardley couldn't be more loved tbh... He's left a great legacy within the UK industry and given us some of the best rides in the world (Nemesis and Hex especially)...
  24. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    MOAR!
  25. That's what they say...
