  1. I think it's sad that park staff feel like they have to make a ride so awful just so it can actually be fixed up... Like, that's no way to run a park...

    The Smiler

    It's never gonna be running 5 ever again, we'll be lucky if it ever runs 4 on most days...

    Wicker Man

    To be fair, it does look great as an overall product; lessons seemingly learnt from previous projects going utterly tits up is a positive... Saying it's as good as Megaphobia is however, not particularly so... But think everyone knew that the layout in of itself was going to be bang average and a waste of potential...

    Wicker Man

    6.7/10 too much wood.
  5. Wonder how many Japanese Spider crabs contributed to that total...
  6. Knightmare is more fun to ride than half the stuff at Thorpe too...

    Wicker Man

    We're still waiting for that surely? Also that's not the ride entrance for Wodan, since the queue starts in a random wooden shack... All for Merlin bashing, but let's do that when they actually deserve it...
  8. Jordan works for Thorpe anyway, you see her name crop up a lot in the Trip Advisor responses... Think she's been learning PR off that Morwenna lass who used to work at Towers (remember THOSE stunts?)
  9. I literally don't recall any issues with phone signal on the park, guess everyone else just has crap providers...
  10. Irony being that Shambhala is probably the best operated ride in the park (to be fair to them, Shambhala isn't operated that badly platforming wise, it's the Fastrack balance)...
  11. Still a better contractor than TG Cruise.
  12. Yeah the Arthur baggage system is poor (made more hilarious that single rider queue completely skips it)... I'd rather do locker faff outside the queueline like Universal et al then a confined indoor space...
  13. Best way to describe PA is all skirt and no knickers... Which is a shame because when I visited with Mark those years ago I had a very good time there... @Mega-Lite you'll have to at least ride Baco in the back row outside seat once... Just the once...
  14. 3 rethemes in one year is impressive... Poor Seal Maybe you can get them to send it to you Mark?
  15. Pleasure Beach has good days and bad days... I believe I was also visiting the same day as Mark once and that day was full of dreadful people (and not just the goons)...
  16. It's a shame they couldn't bothered getting someone who actually knew about British parks... I gave up after the umpteenth inaccuracy from him...
  17. Like Ratatouille? Which is going to Epcot... Star Wars is about the only definite clone from the States, Frozen Land looks like what was meant to be going into DisneySea (and has gone quiet since announced), and Marvel is potentially a weird mix, we're definitely not getting Guardians of the Tower of Breakout, or likely to get the Guardians cred going into Epcot; so beyond the Iron Man RnRC retheme and the stunt show replacement I don't know what we might get that'd you'll find in America... Someone has mooted the Ant Man shooting ride coming into Hong Kong but without any solid concrete announcements we don't actually know if there will be much cloning going on...
  18. DLP has the best Magic Kingdom #truthbombs
  19. It'll be equally amusing and upsetting when the GP are completely non-plussed about this...
  20. HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS AND GLASSES! The Studios will no longer be the red-headed stepchild of DLP, it will gain 3 new themed areas (Marvel, Star Wars and Frozen) over the course of the next few years (I'm guessing)... http://www.ed92.org/en/news-disney-announces-transformative-multi-year-expansion-for-disneyland-paris/
  21. It's almost like these parks DON'T want me to visit this year...
  22. No Rocky Express? Joke of a place...
