As in the stage isn't coming back or the Penguins show?

Needs more lights tbh...

I look forward to seeing the finished product on this, Asterix was missing a quality middle ground coaster after all, and Firechaser Express gets lots of positive reviews... Can't quite tell how they're gonna do the switch back towards the end of the ride though, cos Firechaser doesn't do that... Hopefully it's not a dull switchtrack section...

If the 25 year shelf life is to be based upon the last time the ride went through a MASSIVE refurbishment (something I don't think many Arrow Suspendeds suffered), then it'll be theoretically on it's true last legs in 2027, so we've got another 10 years of "will it won't it" to get through... Besides, on top of that there's still 3 others currently in operation that are over the shelf life... Shelf life means bugger all if the park has the desire to actually keep a ride in operation (like Slammer)... It could probably do with another massive refurb though... Imagine if they actually got Vekoma to do a proper job with it? Turn it into a SFC with tyre driven lift hills (that'll help with the neighbours) and the lifespan of it would be extended no end...

Because he's contractually obliged to appear in certain adverts?

It's just... Dull? Like it doesn't seem to do anything potentially interesting at all with the layout... Might as well just buy a Vekoma SFC... I do however ADORE the ridiculous rotating track switch design in their "high throughput" inverted launch... What WERE they on?

It takes someone 5 years to take a place of work to court over an injury? Surely that's nothing to do with the recent spate of incidents at the park? Someone else is taking them for receiving a broken neck off CuChu, though only getting a x-ray 4 weeks afterwards (if your neck was THAT broken, you'd know the difference in a lot less time)... Guess the Irish have just discovered how lucrative theme parks can be in the court systems... Merlin's payout list was enough before even Smiler...

You forgot it's not ORDINARY steel set up by not ORDINARY men...

My source is better than your source, my source is twice the size... Of course no source has ever said something that turned out to be wrong, for varying degrees of reasoning... Maybe Merlin are jumping on the 'alternative fact' train?

Clearly means a Hyper RMC Aquatrax...

Six Flags probably still have bugger all money, doubt they'll ever want to tread towards administration again... Besides, repainting some rides, ret racking a wooden coaster and a vr attraction isn't exactly pushing the boundaries of investment levels...

I'd assume no-one mentioned it because no-one cares... Strange decision though, what difference will a day really make?

Welcome to, job hunting... Sure the parks are looking for people if you're feeling suicidal daring...

Looks like one of those substitute rides you had to do in RCT because it didn't originally have the same style of coaster as what you wanted...

Nah, the worst water on a UK water ride is the one at Flamingoland... Grim...

Bad Walibi Holland...

£20 for the CuChu pin badge?

Had to double check I wasn't dreaming last night that Palace actually won a game... I hope Reading (or Leeds) continue their charge for automatic promotion, anything to stop Brighton please...

Surely the depiction of it is kinda realistic? Like that is how a person with multiple personalities could act? The change in body chemistry might be a bit far fetched but I'm sure there's some realism in there... Sounds like people just assume that as McAvoy is portrayed as a 'villain' it must be demonising it, whereas it really doesn't... Kevin is as much a victim as the girls and clearly at the whim of more dominant personalities... I'd imagine this film will dominate Psychology courses for a few years...

This post is useless without pics...

Banning anyone from 7 countries, citing 9/11 (even though these countries weren't actually involved, but those ones aren't banned for whatever reason), and even if you've got dual nationality or a green card you're still buggered? Imagine over a plane ride you turn up and are told "nope you can't come in" (especially American immigration being miserable buggers) and your entire life is pretty much finished as a result... Because THAT'S not going to help ISIS at all... Horrible times to live in, especially when our own glorious leader is staying quiet for the sake of a positive trade deal... Things are only going to get worse I fear...

You say that as if there's been any consideration towards that factor...
