Gah, stop trying to play it so cool. Admit it to yourself. You know they are belters for pop songs, and she seems like a lovely genuine person, which is so rare for someone as famous and beautiful as she is. What's not to like?!

One of the other shots from those taken at the park confirm they've got the equipment in to really restore Screams theming to its former glory

Taylor Swift I think she might actually be perfect?

This'll do, I'd rather some screens and 3d glasses though.

Boutros Boutros Ghali, ess-ess-essess, Chris waddle. That stopped pretty damn sharpish! I guess the ride 'knows' that nothing should be going through there while the train is on the lift, so applys all the brakes and shuts down immediately? Either that or the op was really on the ball; if that car had continued through and then back down to the station from the other way under gravity, and the main train been released, there would have been a hell of a coming together. Fatal I'd expect. I presume Vekoma have been buying cables off of Intamin?!

Balls. I hate you all.

I'm thinking the park capacity will be set pretty low with the limited lineup, so it's just all relative and might get 'full' to this much lower then normal number. While I absolutely agree with that sentiment, it should be taken as read now that that is not the case with a standard AP. It's a mess, but at the cost they knock them out at it's understandable. To me the AP is more like a discount card; there's always parking, there's often extras. They have greatly devalued the meaning and value of what an AP is, by taking things away to allow for the introduction of 'premium' versions which all include things that were and should be standard anyway. As I say, a mess. But I'm confident this event could not exist at all if it were free to standard APs, so this result isn't the problem. The AP price and structure is.

Apparently confirmed to be Octonauts on the staff newsletter.

Well there's confidence! Good luck, I know job applications there are very over subscribed.

Half of 27 is not 16.2 ! Still a good price though. I'm reliably informed that the prices go up on the first of March, but don't hold me to it.

As opposed to none of the park being open like uaual. Think about it.

They can call it what the hell they want whenever they want to. Don't get me wrong, I don't like it and won't be going for that line up AP or not, but I can entirely see why they've considered this necessary. Half term opening isn't a given, they have to make a business decision to justify opening and they will only consider that at a profit. The prices they've been knocking APs out at in recent years I imagine the percentage of the gate is substantial, and opening in February the attendance expected to be modest with a higher than usual AP percentage enticed because it is 'free' (if it were) than people prepared to pay. The problems behind all this are many; the pricing structure, the Merlin target system, the AP price, confusing AP layers and the reliance on FT for profit, all of which I think it would be fair to take issue with. But I'm pretty sure the bottom line is this; if all those with a dirt cheap AP could go for free it would make no money and therefore wouldn't happen. The alternative is a closed park, which before the event was announced no one would have batted an eyelid at. Getting pretty bored of the whinging over this. If you don't like it, just don't go.

Another excuse to share a bit of music I love and play a little game. I'll post a selection of videos which are clues to or associated with another track, you guess what that track is by posting a video of the one you think it is. Get it right and have a go yourself. Or I'll do another one if you can't be arsed. Does that make sense? There should only be one track that fits. So... ... go!

Looks like the tram ride parking on a simulator for a bit. Woo.
-
And yet they leave Falls, Bubbles and Tomb looking horrific, along with two hugely underwhelming recent developments in Zufare and Scorpian. I get they can't do everything at once but as lovely as the new square is their priorities are all a cock. The actually rides should surely be first? And what they do do needs to actually be good.

Cmon, one more vote for the 28th so I can still go...

I don't think anyone can be able to appreciate the deep deep hatred I have for that song.

Sounds fun, would be up for that. Although I don't know if I'm your target age, and I might be a little dull compared to some of the freaks here!
-
Yep. Opening day, first public bird strike!
