  1. Yeah but who got them their passes? What do they purchase on a standard trip to the park? Etc.
  2. 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...
  3. Swearing is one thing, but abuse aimed at Figment should be an insta-ban...
  4. 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...

  6. 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...
  7. To really make me feel depressed about not getting that job at Vekoma
  8. 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...

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

    He was, and changed the first drop profile because it was terrible...
  14. Benin replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    I'll probably only be riding Wickerman and Nemmie when visiting, so at least I'll be riding stuff that looks nice...
  15. 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...
  16. Benin replied to Theme Park bloke's topic in The Real World
    I did that for about 3 years straight (Pony Express, Blue Fire & Sky Rocket), always frustrating when it those parks miles away as well...
  17. Benin replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    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...
  18. Benin replied to EC!'s topic in UK Attractions
    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)...

    There's only one solution:
  20. Sounds like what Chessie used to have about gorilla stuff in Trail of the Kings then...
  21. What was in the zoo nocturnal area? Need deets pls...
  22. Benin replied to yeah's topic in The Real World
    Only Palace could have the worst ever start to a season then break their unbeaten run in the PL... That bottom half is so tight though...
  23. Benin replied to EC!'s topic in UK Attractions
    Dreamland and Blackpool did it before Towers UK wise though...
  24. With this many U-Turns you'd think the Tories would be running the park!
  25. Benin replied to EC!'s topic in UK Attractions
    Equal parts hilarious (cos Merlin/Towers have been told off) and embarrassing (cos a goon actually full on complained)...
