The Smiler Incident 02/06/2015
Probably in vertical video as well, just as one last wind up...

Djurs Sommerland
It's like a weird blend of Orkanen at Farup with the ending of a Mega-Lite... Weird decision...

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
I'll never understand why they didn't just do a VR ghost train, though probably for something of Derren's, AR would've been a better option, as it really would work with the whole confused ride aspect... Plus not using the Victoriana style theming annoys me... Could literally have done anything with it, but it seems like such a botch, as even the floating train reveal is terribly done...

The Smiler Incident 02/06/2015
Shows how simple communication is the most important aspect when operating anything mechanical and involves humans... The inevitability of the crash is the worst thing...

Merlin Entertainments
Once you visit non Merlin parks of actual quality you'll understand... Also plus 1 for not knowing about the blue peter badge thing...
-
Europa Park
Yeah they did, but unsurprisingly no one is particularly excited by this...
-
SAW: The Ride
Still miles behind the massive poster I have of Flug von Damenon, but it's a start... How much they flogging them for?
-
Merlin Entertainments
Rates is just a posh term for price list, nothing to concern over...
-
Scarefest
Surely Texas Chainsaw Massacre and any form of cannibalistic group of people who flay their victims?

Port Aventura
Taron bars are the only good thing coming out of this project...

Slagharen Theme Park & Water Park
It's not a great park in all honesty, very peculiar in the layout and the rides are bang average at best... It does have a fab little dark ride akin to Bubbleworks with fire effects aplenty though... This new ride should be better than Sky Scream through assumption alone, but who knows...

Fuji-Q Highland
Unfortunately Josh I'm still basic in terms of rides in the East... One day though...
-
Disneyland Paris
Probably still better than Mission 2 though... I'm, unsure on it, least it actually fits the theme unlike some other rebrand exercises... Bring us Ghost Galaxy!

Fright Nights 2016
Sounds like it'll be part of the storyline for.... Some reason... Go exploring, do a seance, wake all the dead, the usual stuff because people never learn in horror stories... Someone at Thorpe clearly loved the Ouija film, which has a sequel/prequel out soon...
-
Bubbleworks
I doubt anyone on here bothered because no one with disposable income cared about the closure... In terms of people selling park merch online, it never tends to get too over the actual price at retail (apart from maps, I've seen people pay £10 for a Thorpe map!), and Merlin have a history of taking down a few sales on eBay (though granted that is stuff not available to the public, like the Nemesis audio that was sold off and then had to be returned)... It's an interesting conundrum really, profiteering off a 'charity' auction...

Bubbleworks
Wonder if Merlin bothered to have a T&Cs to stop people making their own money off their unwanted crap...

Chessington Howl'o'ween
Towers? Gotta make sure Ripsaw is still closed after all...

Do you not learn that you get held to such comments Jamie? Or are you gonna actually go through with that claim?

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
Or Hex, if it were open of course...
-
Fright Nights 2016
People are really thinking some red syrup is 'gory'... Y'all tripping...
-
Top 10's
I remember the reaction to it placing 6th in the Mitch Hawker poll and how incredulous the Americans were, calling it stupid that a ride that barely any of them had ridden could be rated so highly... Bunch of self centred tools...
-
Bubbleworks
What probably hasn't helped the park was the dreadful state DIC left it in... It's amazing how optimistic people were after Wild Asia opened... And now look...

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
From what the general opinion of Galatica is that doesn't sound particularly difficult to do though... VR is only as good as the content on display though, much like any media... You can have all the pixels or 1:1 motion in the world but if the animation is crap then it's all for nothing...
