Couldn't agree less. If they can't do it properly then don't do it at all and close mid week. Or call it off peak and charge an off peak price. It is not in any way understandable or needed; Merlin are simply unaffected by the downturn, they have put prices up and attendance is stable so they are making more money (Towers is currently turning a profit for the fist time in a while I believe), they are using it as an excuse for coining in more profit and ripping us off.- Alton Towers General Discussion
That's shocking. For me that is 4/5hrs travelling for a 6hr day out. I can't be the only to think that this year, I don't think I'll bother.- THE SWARM: In The Media
I don't understand what your reply means?? Want to give me a clue?- Alton Towers Meet 2012
Students - famous for turning up every day.Well, the weekday ERT meet is not exactly unpopular, is it?- THE SWARM: In The Media
That's what I feared it would sound like, that's why I was being negative. I do hope it is not in any way near the queue line come opening.Maybe it's the new way of getting farcetrack sales; want to skip an hour of durge pumped into your ears? £6 please.- THE SWARM: In The Media
If you've managed to wangle yourself entrance to the media day today I hate you, but have a great day. Expecting some great pictures here by the time I get home from work.....- Europa Park
What a disaster, the dummies came back and it looks like all their arms had fallen off. ;)That is a structure of unparalleled beauty. Please, anyone, have the balls to give us this in the UK.- Post Your Desktop!
Pic I took of the Red Arrows I rather like, although a lot of the quality looks to have been lost on this screen grab for some reason.- THE SWARM: In The Media
Who says they are not? I can't work out if you've posted that in praise or mockery of it?!It's awful.- THE SWARM: In The Media
Hmmmm. I will wait until I hear it to decide I'm not going to like it, but I wouldn't take any bets on me liking it.Will have to see how it is used, but an ambient soundscape would surely be better than a pop rock song.- Random

Regardless of position here or anywhere, no one is supposed to encourage stupidity and laziness.Being nice is great, but only to people who aren't being morons.- Photography, Art, Music, Poetry, Videos...
This, in every way, is a lot better than this.Give that man a job.- Past Plans
Nemesis was the furthest thing from mainstream at the time it was made, and I'm sure if they'd described it to the public they would have told them not to build it, but look what it did for the park.Merlin need to trust their first instincts, make the first move and bring wood into this century in the UK, I can't think of a better way to do that than a modernised version of these plans.- Past Plans
I know it gets mentioned all the time, but the valley wooden plans could have led to something so so special. I wish they'd grow the balls to bring them back to life and force them through planning somehow.- Say Something About The Person Above You
Has changed their name, confusing me. Don't take much.- Parks, Rides And Coaster News
and it is clearly designed to be there, fitting in with what's around it, rather than just being plonked on top of a slab of concrete with the parking bay markings still showing.- Random Picture Thread.

Any of you in-the-know people got any expectations for the start of this season, any disasters found during winter maintenance which could impact season opening? S+S twins, I'm looking at you.- Chessington General Discussion
What's the point of this? It's just expensive tinkering. Out of the last 25 years Chessington has mostly been trading off of investment made 22 years ago or more, they need their next Vampire if they are going to make it another 25 years.- Name Your Favourite Childhood TV Programme

Really? You ever been to a 6flags park? Would not be at all surprised if that was the finished look.For example, this is the amount of effort they have given to millions of dollars worth of B+M in the pastThe infamous 'carpark, the ride'. Oh very dear.- Alton Towers General Discussion
