    Fairground attractions, channel 5.It is a bit channel 5, but it's actually quite interesting. One of the fairs they follow is http://www.carterssteamfair.co.uk/ , an absolutely beautiful vintage fair. Must track it down one day.

    I like the look, clean and clear.Am I being dense, or has 'todays active content' button disappeared? I liked that button, the easiest way to keep up with, well, the active content of the day.

    I know this is not going to actually help you, but PLEASE stop Mum driving an illegal vehicle. It is not cost effective, when she gets caught the fines and prohibition costs will cost a hell of a lot more than a couple of tyres. But mainly you can not put a price on safety, I'm sure you Mum could not live with herself if the worst happened and if that is not deterrent enough death by dangerous driving (which covers knowingly driving an unsafe vehicle) caries a 14 year sentence. I hope your situation improves, in the mean time stay safe.

  10. That is unacceptable. Greedy b'stards, sure they'd make more by charging less and filling them up instead.

  12. That's all of it then, when do we see the first test runs?
  13. The link to plans gives me an error message, do they show down to the internal layout detail?Just wondering, considering their target market, who are Thorpe aiming this at? Most (all?) AT rooms are family size with an adult bed and two bunks. Are Thorpe going for more twin / double rooms which would better fit their target? This could hopefully mean they could fit in a greater number of smaller rooms which should be a lower price. I always feel at AT I'm paying for the extra beds I'm not using as I don't have kids.

    How dare you!! The original few series were the best I grant you, and there were a couple of stinkers in the middle, but the recent ones have been right up there near the peak.I am quite surprised tbh, it has a hell of a loyal following. Not enough though, clearly.
  15. Sexy new shiny things are nice and all, but Lo-Q developments could be amazing if they are run as a guest experience enhancement tool and not just a moneymaking tool.

    Bob Mortimer has just tweeted that Shooting Stars has been cancelled by the BBC. Noooooooooooooooooooo.
  17. Quick, someone put you in charge!!Mirrors my thoughts exactly. The UK industry is so short sighted and narrow minded in it's park development it hurts sometimes. Giving people an amazing day out will increase the next few years gate figures a whole lot more than building something shiny and new around a crumbling soul less park and spending a fortune on advertising.It's some years since I've been to Aventura myself, but one of my strongest fondest memories is of a circus show near Khan which was truly outstanding, along with the fire show thing which also had a few live actors and blew me away. Neither of these things have a comparable equivalent here and with Merlins current thinking we never will. Shame for us and for Merlin shareholders.

    That awkward moment when someone you know randomly pops up in a Youporn video you're watching...
  20. I though it was obvious it was the one they would use to be honest, never really considered otherwise. Why would they keep buying fire engines? Didn't consider the planning side of things but that shouldn't be a problem, if it's the same size as in the plans then thats all that really matters.
  21. Dreamland looks like it is actually on the way after so many false starts...http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-15672978This could be amazing, all those classic rides in one place. Fingers crossed they get it together in the end.

    To agree with what's gone before:The Lion King is 10/10, as any fule kno,In 3D it's even better, so 11/10 ?It's still showing in some cinemas. If you haven't seen it yet go before it's too late, it will never be as good on a small screen.
  24. So do we have any opportunity for updates now other than what the park feed us? I can't imagine much (other than the tall parts which are complete already) is visible from anywhere on the park perimeter.As much as I want to see the progress it would be kind of good if they didn't show us anything beyond track completion, just have to turn up on the day and see at what point the budget ran out all that lovely lovely theming without any spoilers to what it will actually look like.
  25. Disney Parks are a magical place, like stepping into another world, a world of perfection. Universal are 'just' awesome themeparks.
