That wingrider sure looks good at Gardaland. Anyone know if any construction on Krake at Heide Park has started yet?
-
Well, the new ride is Vekoma Junior Boomerang; so is it this that is going to be themed around Ben 10? If so, they may have well just left it un-themed... I suppose we will have to wait and see what the ride actually is like.

Orlando Thrill Park news!Sort of big news I think... The proposed 'Orlando Thrill park' has had plans come out with details of the rides which are due to open there some time in 2013. They are very exciting I must say!!! Here are some details and links below.Orlando Thrill park general plans & Information from LA times (I didn't post this as text because there is lots of info.) Photo gallery showing the 13 main rides and coasters. (from LA times). These rides are explained below. The park is planned to have 13 new rides from opening, with manufacturers being Vekoma, Mack, Intamin, Mondial, Chance-Morgan, S&S Power and U.S Thrill Rides. Intamin are planned to be the manufacturers of a 425 foot inverted hydraulic launch coaster - very exciting! and a ZacSpin, which will be a small ZacSpin model. The park will also feature a Mega-Splash, a clone of the model at Knotts Berry Farm. Vekoma are making an SLC, Probably one of their popular cloned models like Kong at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. They will also make a Motorbike Launch coaster, a 'Stingray' flying coaster and withChance-Morgan a new type of coaster is going to be made called a 'Pretzel Dive Coaster'. (In my opinion it looks a bit like the old Flashback ride at SF Magic Mountain.) Chance Morgan will also make a flat ride called a 'uni-Coaster'. Mondial are supplying a few rides for the park to, one of them is a flat ride called a 'Splash Over', this is very similar to a Topspin. The second ride being built by Modial is a 'Revolution', This again is very similar to a Huss Giant Frisbee. S&S Power are going to be constructing a 4D Coaster and a Turbo Drop tower for the park. Mack are also proposed to be the manufacturers of a 2nd Launch Coaster, this may be similar to Blue Fire at E-P. U.S Thrill Rides will be making a 'Skyquest' ride where riders are in a harness flying around the park in a similar system to the way a Skyride works. So, interesting news from this future park, the inverted intamin launcher is the most exciting thing in my opinion. Can't wait to find out more plans and news. But remember these are just plans for the park and the owners are the Baker leisure group. (They used to own the freestyle music park.)

I'm glad Stacey won I'm a Celebrity too, on itv2 Bob the medic just gave Gillian a picture of him and Gillian! Bob basically was in every bushtucker due to Gillian fainting/panicking, it was a good series of I'm a celeb though. Can't wait until next years series now!

It has just recently been announced that Alton will no longer be having a Shrek 4D attraction for 2011, Storybook land was also supposed to be re-themed into the Shrek theme as well, but has been cancelled due to issues with dreamworks. There is more info on TowersTimes (link below). LINK TO TOWERSTIMES ABOUT SHREK CANCELLATION.

Maverick at Cedar Point is probably the one I most want to go on. Also Top Thrill Dragster, Millenium Force at CP and Nitro at SFGA. Cedar Point is probably the park I want to go to the most, but six flags Great Adventure and Magic Mountain are also next on my list... In Europe I really want to go to Europa Park, Silver Star just looks amazing and would be my first B&M hyper coaster. Euro-Mir at Europa Park is IMO, the second best looking ride at Europa Park; then with Blue Fire third and Poseidon and then all of the others after. One park I have not yet been to in the U.K is Flamingo land, hope to go there soon though. But yeah, Maverick would definitely be the coaster I want to ride the most.

Where did the Waterfall go / how did it fall in? I also wonder why they turned the water off that usually soaks you before you go into the tunnel?
-
This is one of those things that annoys me so much , why do some people have to say THE, in front of every ride name. They make quite a few mistakes on that episode of the inbetweeners, especially the way that Will describes Stealth as a 'Pully Launch Coaster!?'
-
Sounds interesting, will one of these coasters be at Drayton Manor next year or have no plans been released yet? They are supposed to be having a new ride next year, but it has been confirmed that it will not be a flat ride or I think also not a water ride, so therefore they must be installing a new coaster. If so, it will do the park some good.

Do those new KMG Afterburner seats have lap bars? - I wonder if they might upgrade any Afterburners with these?
-
I have a feeling she will end up doing most of the bushtucker trials... She needed Oxygen , and she is scared of practically everything!!!
-
wow, I'm a Celebrity and the impressions show, two of my favourite shows!!! LOL to the lift thing with Dvaina
-
ooh... very interesting, a double barrel roll too. What park is this at?
-
People are right about Intamin and having to trim their rides, I305 on its first drop because of people blacking-out,and TH13TEEN because it has been going to fast for lift 2. - Do we ever see a B&M with trims on it's first drop; I think not.
-
I305 is essentially intamins version of Intimidator at Carowinds. If only Intimidator 305 was A B&M too.- it would not have had all of these problems.
-
Has the same name as me! (except with a few more e's!)
-
They have pictures of a person dressed up as a chicken on the Merlin Annual Pass facebook page too?Wonder what this is trying to get at? And with the Sea-Life thing, they might be extending it or something; I don't know.

About Mikey's post on his Chessington trip, what a great report! And yes, some of Chessington WoA's rides do need speaker/P.A upgrades, The environmental speakers in Fury's Q line sound rubbish whenthe Dragon 'roars', and Vampire would be even more Great if it had a Proper Bose system like in Nemesis Inferno's station; Vampire should have some Bass Cannons that ACTUALLY WORK, with some normal Bose speakers too! The theme would sound amazing then!
