    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BghoxY4rho&feature=player_embedded Found by Phill Pritchard. Nice one.Oh, the memories. I miss it, and Time Voyagers is pathetic.

    BUT, will it feature ****ing trims every few yards. If not how do they expect to emulate the mighty **** experience of 13's outdoor section?
  3. The time laps is for release next year - ie once it's complete. They're just posting a couple of little teasers.And they've described that last pic as "half" the lift hill!!
  4. I don't know if it is possible, but can I suggest somehow making it an automatic change to a persons profile that they move from 'gone away' to 'members' as soon as they log in? I don't know why, it just niggles me when people are 'gone away', yet making posts / logging in frequently.
  5. Confirmation on the construction diary that there is a time lapse camera recording the build.So, yay. Can't wait to see this.
  6. It's well worth it.Did mine in seconds earlier, I guess the PR is working and the site is just too busy.
  7. That is freakin amazing. So clever and brilliantly done. wowowowow.

    It'll come with time. Remember homosexuality was illegal in living memory, it was the norm legally, socially and religiously to be homophobic - so most people openly were.My grandparents - disgusted by it, and made no attempt to hide their venom.My parents - would rather pretend it didn't exist I think, but would outwardly accept anything.Me - couldn't give a crap what you are.I'm sure the same thing is happening everywhere. Kids at that age are merely expressing their parents views, as the more modern, tolerant people start raising kids those kids will not have the same hang ups young uns have now.
  9. Would love to see a time lapse site overview. Anyone know if they have one running for release on completion? Sure they did for Stealth.
  10. HUGE!!!!!Look at the dwarfed station frame that seemed so massive yesterday.My head did not figure out the scale of this thing from flat technical drawing plans.Wow.
  11. I always thought, from looking at the plans, the lift hill would be the last section up. It kind of cuts straight across the only island exit for all the heavy plant. I assumed they'd start with the station and work their way round anticlockwise so they have full access to whatever they're building and it looks like that is what's happening so far. The larger pieces of theming will probably have to go in at the same time as the relevant track pieces do for the same reason.Cladding/theming the station will not require the heavy plant so could be done later.Building on an island - challenging.
  12. Think this is from it and probably this tohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L98eWnPyPE&list=PLEE63C3CC21088F89&index=17 Sure I remember seeing the same thing when I was at school (at least 16 years ago!!), would love to see the whole thing again if it's out there somewhere.
  13. ^ Yes, Barry and Steward are pretty amazing. I love magic, I love comedy, I love sick stuff. They really must not be missed (if your not too squeamish!)
  14. The original press release did mention providing larger seats for other rides. Cant see it happening in a million years, but I would welcome it myself on Colossus - have ssen a lot of people not fit on there and I'm getting close!
  15. No, I went about the same time last year and it was dead. Even mazes were walk on (except Asylum).Unless there's a local teacher training day, or whatever they call them now.
  16. The seats have always been there and nothing has changed. A non story the press are tricked into running.Shows how a cheap bit of crappy PR can work though, a free mention in the US press for zero dollar.
  17. It's big and sexy.This for Thorpe 2015

    I have done both. Job you enjoy is worth more than money.

    The feeling of relief when you realise you are not dying, you just ate a lot of beetroot yesterday.
  21. Don't know, that was some time ago it was being thrown about as an idea so think it might have been shelved.But they are making space for something.....http://riderater.co.uk/?p=1054
