  1. Is the factor that the ride carriages move really the apparent big secret? Like, really?
  2. That queueline though </3
  3. Benin replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    I felt my wallet physically shudder...
  4. Benin replied to Ash's topic in General Discussion
    Probably due to a power cut rather than the park's fault, but never let facts get in the way of a booting...
  5. Show me a new ride that ISN'T massively popular...
  6. What sense would the Victorian dolls make to the storyline though? Sounds like the usual stuff that is rolled out for PR but never actually linked to the ride in real life...
  7. Thorpe - "Guys keep everything a secret so no pics or vids" *Thorpe posts vids and pics from inside*
  8. Actually, they're using timed tickets for disabled riders, so he wasn't entirely wrong... 200 minutes though... Just... Grim...
  9. I wanted to say PS1, but didn't want to be deemed too harsh...
  10. The PS2 called, it wants its visuals back...
  11. Benin replied to Rich's topic in UK Attractions
    I agree with pluk, a good water ride is the next step... Coaster wise they should go for as all-ranging as possible though, and with the locals I doubt they'd get anything massive either... Either a Gravity Group or the new Vekoma launched in Poland would potentially be a good shout...
  12. Benin replied to Aarron P's topic in UK Attractions
    People thinking they could buy something more expensive are clearly forgetting that the park is owned by Aspro, who clearly couldn't care less...
  13. Hopefully its an actual decent development, a Charlie replacement is probably the most likely though...
  14. Surely the transit system on this is a simple evolution of the Immersive Tunnel (also by Simworx)? A full circuit version rather than about 5 feet of track? I'm fearful that the terms of "ground breaking technology" have been used as a basis of a rather simple evolution of pre-existing technology... Though I am really simplifying the work no doubt put into some of it, from the sounds of it there are many similarities to the Immersive Tunnel system...
  15. Can't be any worse than the current service... #obviousjokeisobvious
  16. But Thorpe's social media team LIED to honest paying guests... How do we know who to believe? Maybe that's the greatest trick of the ride? We don't know if it will ever be truly open?
  17. Doesn't look like there's enough detailing, down to the codes above seats telling staff where equipment is... No wonder its a 4.5!
  18. Benin replied to yeah's topic in The Real World
    Football is the most popular sport in the world though, that's why it garners the attention so much... Besides, the English national team is crap in most sports most of the time, its often more shocking when we do well in one...
  19. None knows true fear until THAT has been ridden...
  20. Sounds like reviews for pretty much any ride though, however we won't get true opinions until the newness and whole "I rode it first" thing wears off and we actually see the thing in full flow...
  21. #sadgoonwatch
  22. Those however were official opening days (much like Klugheim yesterday), not a 'wait and hope it opens' day... Even Taron didn't reach that long yesterday (75 mins most of it, opened 90 minutes after park opening)... There's a massive difference between waiting that length of time knowing the ride is open, rather than waiting there in the hope that you get a technical rehearsal...
  23. 3 hours of waiting in the hope that it opened? I mean yeah it's opened but really? I've never queued for a ride for that length of time ever...
  24. It runs 4 trains as well at full capacity, which I presume will end up in Wodan levels of constant moving in the queue... Tonnes of airtime and throwing around, the second launch is also a standout moment as it zooms above the waterfall... By no means perfect, Mr 9 has summed it up nicely, though some will definitely like the constant relentlessness of it a lot more... Sometimes you need breaking up or just moments to compose yourself (like Nemesis) to make those moments stand out even more...
