  1. Your English is significantly better than many of the native speakers here! Looks like your questions have mostly been answered. In relation to the evening entertainment it's unlikely to be anything to get particularly excited about, so don't go with too high expectations!
  2. Rubbish, Thorpe (and Merlin) advertise all over. I'm pretty certain other channels wouldn't care less about IAC on Thorpe advertising as long as it didn't include ITV logos and isn't around the time the program is actually on. Ceebeebeebebebies (which is a whole channel, not just a program) being plastered everywhere last year kind of proves that, as does deal or no deal gaming site and various TV board games adverts which appear everywhere. I'd presumed fungle was being used as the queue, or even space for part of the attraction.

    A great week there Peaj! Not sure I need Nightwish in my life though, what on earth is that noise? Next up Dan9...

    I can make more than one trip to the salad bar you say?

    Not a soap fan by any stretch, but thought this was pretty good...

  8. Too late suckers, your votes mean nothing now! Vamp is a shadow of its former self and in a sorry old state, but is still the best thing at Chessington. Sad times.
  9. Love listening to that video, isn't it the strangest thing they don't have a translation for? Hurdy gurdy noka jidwod uoewc pqwpo cnio[e cnpappojq d hdioq ipwi STOP BEFORE YOU DROP, mi niows oipjqio ipqojwojid jpqjpdj pod qjwp jopjwqd joo, ZERO G ROLL, jxpw nmiw nuenudn oio ij ndnw niod wo[an mlo, LIFT MOTOR, d nide I oe opsow jsowjd jsdow, THE MAKING OF hudy gurdy. It looks stunning, I think the post drop section looks pretty good really. I've not ridden Krake, but didn't rate SheiKra at all; the rest of a dive coaster seems to be very much secondary to the drop, I suppose it is so big and lumbering it's going to be tricky to ever do anything too exciting.

  15. Yep! Couldn't resist after the tubs!
  16. I actually agree with you. I guess my problem is with the way it has been developed, rather than the premium holders being given anything meaningful it is simply what was standard previously but has been taken away. The premium is standard, the standard is sub standard. Can't deny they are decent value though, but somehow whichever option you go for you feel a bit cheated. No matter what anyone says, the parking charges are unjustifiable and simply shouldn't be there anyway.
  17. Why should an 'annual' pass of any level not work the year round?

    After not being seen since Tuesday I can only presume that like so many DJ's before him last weeks DJ has been carted off by Operation Yewtree to help with their inquiries. Or something. Up next, Peaj. This should be a good one...
  19. Haha, it should have been difficult, but I love those things and know them rather well!

    Had a bit of a moment this morning, driving home after a long night at the end of a long week to 4 days off. Heavy atmospheric fog hanging in the tree lined valley of the A12, with the morning commutators headlights rushing towards me as I sped along the empty carriageway out of town, towards my bed to sleep while the rest of the world toils away. With this screaming bass heavy out of the speakers, somehow peaceful but urgent at the same time, for a moment my world felt absolutely perfect.

  22. I mentioned this to some colleagues last night who I would broadly describe as 'normal'. They hadn't heard about it previously and were pretty much only positive about it, they really want to give it a go. Overall I suppose it is a bit like a cross between a themed fun house, something I always love, and an effect rather than actor reliant maze, something quite a few people here have wanted. Although I don't care much for the program the work we've on the theming seen so far looks pretty high quality and if they manage to get some of the trial set ups realistically recreated I can see how that could work well. I think the hardest thing will be pitching it so it gives enough of a 'scare' to the older people without being too much for the families, and whatever tricks or effects they use are good enough to get people laughing along with the experience rather than at it. Overall though, who doesn't want a go in front of a massive fan? http://youtu.be/FIRFAOIXUPA?t=9m42s Side note, if you don't know Toast of London you are missing out on a lot!
