Camera ban - does this apply just on rides or around the whole park?
pluk replied to RJDG14's question in Quick Questions
No, not without special permission. They'd consider it a lose article, the ride staff don't have the time or technical know how to be checking if each set up is safe, so it's a blanket ban. -

UK - Spectator left with a minor head injury a couple of years ago. Owner of a Top Buzz in the poo after he fails to maintain his ride and a bit of it fell on someone. Update on the Texas Giant fatality from last year, 6 flag and Gerst have settled with the family of Esparza. Looks like we won't hear anything further of the details of how this actually came to happen. So that's alright then. That they have both settled without either publicly admitting responsability suggests to me both companies were at least partly at fault, but I guess we'll never know.

C'mon PLC, that's clearly a joke, and not one about your opinion but simply the way you have made it. Some posts deleted, some post edited, and that is the end of that bun fight please. Any more issues, take it to PM. Thanks.

The foot print of the new ride building is almost exactly the same as the total footprint of the X building, which includes the ride area, the queueline and the old queue line now used as a maze.

And his name is LC, I think you're on to something...

Oooh, with? Is this bringing an indoor queue experience as as part of Stinger, or will what's in the building be a separate attraction? I thought the old Wind in the Willows thing was quite charming, shame to see it go but I suppose it was a bit dated.

I wonder if there'll be anything new next year?

Merlin have purchased Tussauds debt as well as their rides. That level of investment was never going to continue, no matter who owned it. If you don't like the food, don't buy the food. Simple. If others enjoy it, let them. I'm not quite sure I understand the point of your crusade, are you a Jehovah's or something? I expect to see you knocking on my door thrusting a pizza hut menu into my hand.

Something a bit different I suppose, can see it being quite popular. Another Centre Parcs lite development.

Yes, I'm sure it has quicker loading times due to people faffing with bags in nets than a ride where people don't have any bags with them at all. Once again you've made your point badly then, because what you wrote bears no resemblance to the explanation you just gave. Don't get arsey at people who can't decipher whatever hidden meaning it is you have buried in your rant, make a clear point instead! The Universal system is great, and surely pays for itself pretty quickly when you've not got to pay two or three people all day every day to staff the bag drop? Merlins dedication to bag drops is quite baffling really, considering how cost adverse they are and how much of a revenue stream paid lockers can be.

Well that's just noise. This game is going to be depressing for me then, when this came out I was 23! Great song though.

Next year - no planning in - no building - unlikely any ride. But not impossible of course. This ghost train conversation is just daft.

What? Yes I'm sure they may have just forgotten they don't need a bag room. What on earth are you talking about? That's an interesting concept. I'm not sure it would fit though, that ball of screens would have to be pretty massive! I don't think they are going to / can excavate what would be required underneath.

Have you been to centre parcs? It's not like that. If it was going to be like a centre parcs that would be great, especially if it included a worthwhile pool complex rather than splash, but it isn't. That pic shows how crammed in these will be compared to the feeling of solitude you get in a Centre Parcs villa. Coupled with the lack of amenities being developed alongside the accommodation, I don't really get what they are trying to achieve. It seems to fall somewhere between a hotel and a CP resort, and I can see it ending up with the advantages of neither.

And if they are claiming that the Red Arrows simulator at The Science Museum actually is!

Musically it is awful. Sounds like it's been made over a pre-programmed casio keyboard demo track from about 1995, dull and soulless. Some of the vocals are pretty stunning though, especially Guy Garvey. He should have song the whole thing. He should sing everything. The message seems a bit shoehorned in too, can't put my finger on why it grates so much but we're still singing about feeding when the problem is Ebola. It's a right old mish mash and stops making any sense somewhere along. "Well tonight we're reaching out and touching you", but if you don't mind I'll be wearing gloves.

SATURDAY - simply the best record ever made Not something I actually know, what my favorite record ever is changes all the time. Some for their memories personal to me, some for their own brilliance. Sometimes it's this, sometimes it's this, sometimes it's this. Often, it's this... Often it's many many others.
