    But rather than being separate trains it was an omnimover continuous string of carriages type system that turned towards each scene.

    You really really wouldn't enjoy survive inversions on a suspended (as opposed to an inverted) coaster!
  3. ...or are these elaborately clad shipping containers?!
  4. If it ends up looking anything like that I'll eat Twirling Toadstall.
  5. As the position will require you to deal with customers mostly in English I would think they would want you to demonstrate your English skills during the interview so it could not be in Italian. If you have written the above post without help I think your English should be fine! They'll want to see that are confident as much as anything. Sometimes an accent and quirky way with words can make you stand out from a crowd so just be yourself and see what happens. Good luck!
  6. Hi Ho, Hi Ho... I don't really know what to think. It's charming, and how can you not love anything with that song in it, but as an actual coaster it seems bizarrely paced. I hope it rides better than it looked, Alvey seemed to think so and mentioned the swinging being more noticeable than expected. He didn't seem too excited by it at the end though, did he?

    Great read, I'm glad the SLC never came off! I don't think the cause of the fire has ever been confirmed, rumours of the cigarette butt have always been about I've never seen it reported as fact and I've looked quite a bit. Would be interesting to know what actually happened, or if they even got to the bottom of it themselves. Fire investigations are often inconclusive, what with most of the evidence being on fire.
  8. Errr? I don't think it was very popular to be honest. It certainly wasn't when I was there, and the LA times agrees I just don't think a standard off the shelf clone with low throughput is something we should aspire to for Thorpe's 'next big thing', and that is aside from my own opinion of them being dull, cumbersome, uncomfortable rattly piles of junk.

    I had no idea the Chinese translation of Coca-Cola was an owls eyes staring it you? 可口可 <TwitTwoo
  10. I personally hate boomerangs in all their guises. Pointless dull rides. Deja Vu was easily the worst coaster at 6FMM on my visit. We should be aiming higher than that, shouldn't we?

    It was a bit like flying into the 'island like no other' image, and looking about a bit using cut ins of various old ads and an odd Angry Bird mock up.
  12. Is it low throughput, or is it just insanely popular? I'd love one, can't believe the ToyStory didn't come with one initially either. I don't think it would even be that large an investment either, now the technology has already been developed it must be a lot cheaper than the original was.
  13. pluk replied to Ash's topic in General Discussion
    Because it's blackcurrants. And because it's crap.
  14. pluk replied to Ash's topic in General Discussion
    Now you've said it I'm thinking maybe it was like that actually.
  15. pluk replied to Ash's topic in General Discussion
    It's been like that for a couple of years, with rope lighting draped over it that is never on any more.

    @who?
  17. And just in case you are asking if they check the photo because you were going to lend it to someone else, don't. They'll take it off them and you won't get it back!
  18. pluk replied to Ryan's topic in General Discussion
    This is fan made or something, yes?
  19. pluk replied to Artie's topic in The Past
    They have been sending this stock reply when people have asked since a few days after it didn't open at the start of the season, nothing has changed. I suppose the longer it goes on the worse it looks for a return, but lets not write her off yet!
  20. pluk replied to Dan_Rush's topic in General Discussion
    No they don't. They have an announcement they play saying something like 'Due to the weather conditions riders may currently find riding Stealth uncomfortable. If you would like to wait until the weather passes please stand aside and let others pass you'. Stealth remains open in all but the wildest rain.
  21. When the science week display was up it included the woodie plans for the saw site. In the half hour or so I was there chatting to the host at least 5 or 6 people cooed over it asked "wow, when's that coming", everything I heard said about it was massively positive. Maybe that was just coincidence while I was there, if not you'd hope the general excitement for the plan was fed back to whoever needs to know.
  22. Let's see if everyone survives the mammoth treck to blackpool first, eh?!

    Reads like it's a neighboring property, unless B+M's are made from my baked bean tins I put in my recycling box? Always wondered where that stuff ends up.
