  6. People have probably seen this before but thought it was worth a share. Picture from around 1979.
  7. ...and a certain helicopter please if you can!

  14. Was in park today and was keeping an eye on construction when I could. At the start of the day a crane was holding the final curve of the first drop in place waiting for the last piece to be connected to the top of the lift hill to complete the loop. Piece was lifted into place at 11 (I remember so precisely as I was climbing Nemesis' lift hill at the time!).Seemed like lots of work in the station area and other work was happening near the helicopter loop and the Helix, but couldn't see any considerable work to report. A few pictures from different angles and perspectives below. The ride is already starting to dominate the skyline from certain parts of the park.
  15. Another fantastic set of pictures. Thank you for all the updates. This thing looks HUGE! Looking forward to seeing it myself tomorrow...

  17. Fair point, I just noticed the set up on the screen actions like the scroll bar and the menu layout for viewing an image taken at a specific time we're identical to Lobster's interface. Must admit, it wouldn't let me see any additional info.Oh well, we'll see.
  18. From the image posted earlier, I'm willing to bet the time lapse camera/footage will be here on the Lobster Vision website.I followed the construction of Brighton and Hove Albion's new stadium on the website. They supply High Resolution webcam images and time lapse footage as you will see from the website.Click on the CLIENTS tab at the top, there's a Google map quarter down the screen, I zoomed in to the place point nearest to TP's location, hey presto, Client's name in Merlin Entertainments.OK, it's not the camera footage we want to see but something to keep an eye on...
  19. What Browser you using? I use Chrome primarily and it wouldn't load but opened up an Internet Explorer window and was almost instant.One word - Brilliant.Top Marks THORPE.
  20. From what I've seen it's the complete opposite when you actually get to the park, I'll be trying to block it out of my view!Map is identical to last year with the minor mentioned tweaks. It's a shame Merlin can't/won't align it's 3 major parks maps to all be same using Alton's as the benchmark due to the level of detail fitted in or Chessie's which is very pleasing to the eye.
  21. Got a point there but Ashford's nothing to be proud of either! Anyway, back to topic...
  22. ^Proof?That's a bold statement to make when all you've seen is a viral fansite marketing gimmick. Fair to say it could be true but there's no firm evidence of any location.

    I'm really sorry as a newbie to the forum (Hello by the way) but I've got a great picture I want to share but I can't work out how to post it to a forum message.Is it because I'm a newbie and won't have the permission? I only have an option to insert a picture as a link from a URL or a media URL but all I want to do it embed it onto the message.Any help?!?!Many ThanksA
