  1. Confirmed as not being a thing... Plus Paris does have some originality in a fair amount of their attractions, it's more a Disney overall trait than Paris itself (where else can you find one park with 4 (FOUR!) Flying Jumbo rides?). Florida is stealing Ratatouille so I guess they should be more original Regarding Tower, I've heard it's something to do with the contract for Twilight Zone ending, which would explain the quick turnaround of the California version... But after the reaction to GotG Disney aren't too sure on retheming the other two Twilight Zone towers to it... If that's the case, there's only one option for these two:
  2. They do the maths? No thanks, it was already a very biased poll in the first place... Alvey being in control of the results is only going to result in further bias...
  3. Yeah, but they're getting rid of the soundtrack which makes me sad
  4. Yeah but it's not about the pass spend, it's the net spend when they go to the park with mates... Buy lunch and little else I bet...
  5. What point? Just because I had an annual pass at 14/15, who do you think actually spent the money on it?
  6. Yeah but who got them their passes? What do they purchase on a standard trip to the park? Etc.
  7. For the record, I don't think it's a bad idea, much like the sponsored Stealth seats... And I bet it's a darn sight cheaper than what people had to fork out for the ones at DLP... Like, I find it kinda weird that people are hating Merlin for such an idea? There's much bigger issues than charging people (who might have some real personal connections/stories to the park) to have some temporary statement of that...
  8. Swearing is one thing, but abuse aimed at Figment should be an insta-ban...
  9. I really hope people are offering those suggestions and giving Merlin money and not realising not of those messages will get made and Nick walks out of Magic HQ with a giant sack of money on opening day...
  10. People have begged to get on Shark Trip? I got that LOOK of "really?" but nothing more... I was also spited out of the spinner, I think it's SBNO... Milky Way (and Big Sheep) are both fab parks... I'm not even mad that Typhoon stalled on the last test run before the bloke was gonna run it (was windy as upon my visit) so I have to return... Though I don't really fancy trying to squeeze into Clone Zone again, you clearly missed out on the slides of death that are a damn sight more vertical when you're sat on them...
  11. To really make me feel depressed about not getting that job at Vekoma
  12. Might get them better KPI scores that they don't have to skew positive though... And reduce the amount of Ctrl+c; Ctrl+v responses on social media/Trip Advisor...

    Wicker Man

    YEAH! It's not like their last truly major investment in the park was a massive thrilling roller coaster was it?
  15. Presented without comment (Daily Mirror).

    Wicker Man

    He was, and changed the first drop profile because it was terrible...

    Nemesis

    I'll probably only be riding Wickerman and Nemmie when visiting, so at least I'll be riding stuff that looks nice...
  18. You can take any bit of data, and skew it towards what you actually want... Merlin use carefully selective questions and answers in order to get what they really want... It's just so they can say "Well people wanted this" with something tangible... I'm sure some companies don't like working for others, it's like with any industry that...
  19. I did that for about 3 years straight (Pony Express, Blue Fire & Sky Rocket), always frustrating when it those parks miles away as well...
  20. Would there be any outcry from enthusiasts if Rameses was removed? I'd wager that any outcry would be from those who are younger than the ride itself...

    Wicker Man

    Even THAT'S not a world's first though... It's such a shame that Towers/Merlin marketing seem unable to market things appropriately... If this didn't have the Wickerman nonsense and some strange Pirate theme we'd not bat an eyelid on it being slow (blah blah testing is always slow blah)...
  22. Sounds like what Chessie used to have about gorilla stuff in Trail of the Kings then...
