After Knightmare, it was time for something a bit more gentler...Junior Dragon CoasterWe did it, it was rubbish (not so if you’re a child though), let’s move on...4/10Nearly lunchtime and since we had brought sandwiches we wondered back to the car to grab them, (as Nicky said the food was dire, proven by it having TWO Wimpys, though the chips were nice apparently), but first, one last coaster...Caterpillar CapersIt’s a Big Apple... Do you expect anything else?4/10Food grabbed, we headed to the Jousting show (as did the rest of the park), and this was probably the best thing in the park... The fact it wasn’t taken seriously was perfectly done, and was better than any of the shows I’ve seen Merlin conjure up at their parks... Perfect blend of entertainments, crowd interaction, dodgy jokes and action made it an actual must see for anyone going there... Show over, we wandered over to the random farm/zoo/animal area to waste some time before the bird show...Back to the jousting area, which was rather emptier this time round for the random bird show... Rather entertaining and worth the faff, since the park wasn’t going to provide time wasting with its rides (didn’t do anything other than coasters and shows, blergh)...And that was it, we wondered back to the exit and drove away, with me pondering whether or not the park would be worth saving or not... To be honest, if someone was willing to put in time, money and effort and not demand an instant profit back for a few years, it has potential... It’s probably only clinging on just because of its location (stone’s throw from the M6 and about an hour away from about 5 major cities), but it would take a lot of time spent on fixing the infrastructure and bringing in good quality rides (and keeping the maintenance up) so it might not even be worth it in the end...It’s dire, but the shows and Knightmare were good, not worth £22 to get in though (£26 on the day, no wonder it’s in the crappola)...

Hmmm, forgot about this topic, oh well... Who wants sexy B&M pics?Of course, since TPM seems to HATE the links from PotionMagix, here's the link to their construction page... http://www.potionmagix.fr/forumix/nouvelle-zone-attraction-2012-parc-asterix-t1271-990.htmlLooks different and brilliant... Bear in mind that the first drop is before the Dive Loop.

Just want to know really what on earth is that bloke doing in the second row in regards to the fire... Most random pose ever...

This, but if people aren't chosen they shouldn't complain publicly...Ask the mods by all means, but once they tell you why, you're not allowed to take it any further than messaging a mod...

I support this notion. We'll start with lost City and Saw.

The video is on Thorpe's Facebook now... Evidently the site's video is crap for lots of people...

Why? It did for others? How are you so quick to know?!?!Jesus christ.

Is it a fact? Or did you mean "Someone will now call me out on this. FACT!"?Besides, technically, Tomb Raider (Now known as Time Warp), was the world's first video game themed ride

People make promises they can't keep...Life sucks... Everytime I seem to get cheerful, something else happens to piss me off royally...

You don't realise how good Hex is until you've been on the Haunting at Drayton Manor!

There are models yes...SCARY WITCH OMFG!

So you're saying..WWE RAW IS WAR.

A ride called Raw in the same park with a ride called Saw?Sounds like a Bore...

That awkward moment when you realise someone is actually that stupid...Wonder how some people manage to exit their house in the morning or even get to the parks... Or do the turnstiles have some IQ sapping device that affects people?
