    I can understand them wanting to make a feature of the hotels to try and attract more guests but surely it would have helped to have Towers Street as an actual vertical line up the map. At least then you can orientate yourself, it's rather awkward at that angle.

    I am in the middle of wondering whether I have completely lost my boyfriend to Pokemon. It may be quite possible.
  3. Model thinks to herself I look like such an idiot. I didn't sign up for this.
  4. You can walk around Heide by yourself if you buy that.I am serious.
  5. Really did miss the rays. Only one of the crabs were moving when we went through. The rest were either not moving or hiding behind the "wreckage". Seems like probably going to have to make a trip to Lego and see whether they have the rays from Alton.
  6. It was good for me as it was my first time on Duel. Granted I did spend all the ride with either my eyes shut or just focusing on the score in front of me. Just about breaking 20,000 made me very happy since I wasn't even aiming or looking where I was going.
  7. Very very bad joke there. There isn't that much space in there that hasn't been used. Could it be taking over the space of the 4D?

    The last London show was amazing. Good to finally meet the creators and for them to be like "didn't expect to be doing this when we started writing it"Not seen any musicals yet this year but last year I saw the touring version of Les Mis, Wicked, Lion King and Avenue Q twice. Oh and Hairspray with MICHAEL BALL!!! He was so awesome as Edna.My Mum is a Joseph whore so I have seen that too many times both the touring and the West End version and know all the words and even the stage directions Avenue Q on Broadway was pretty awesome too.
  9. I understand why the system is there. Its a perfectly acceptable thing. What I mean is that it shouldn't be used to increase the ride count they can get during the day more than someone who has had to queue up for the rides.
  10. But then that is unfair on non-disabled people. We don't get to skip the queue on any of the rides, so why shouldn't all the rides be included on the list?
  11. Ahh yes us non-disabled people who instead of getting to walk around the park all day we get to queue up instead. Isn't that so much better?

    Not every supermarket do that. ASDA paid me when I was 16 the same rate as an adult of 40 because its "age discrimination" otherwise. I was on nearly £6 at the age of 16 and it kept going up the longer I worked there.I used to do five hours a week during my A-levels. It wasn't too much, didn't get in the way of my work but gave me some money that I could spend on what I want it. You are less likely to spend it if you have earnt it.
  15. At least it shouldn't be too noticeable with the brown OSTRs when they start to wear away. Six across will be different when comparing it to Oblivion. It also looks like there are 2 (quite possibly 4 or more) fat boy seats too on the train with the double belts.
  16. Different can backfire. There is something in keeping to the same thing and knowing that it will work. It is a different area for them to develop a consumer base in. Not exactly as if the London (and now Blackpool) are any competition for it.
  17. Torn between premium and standard now.I think just waiting for the renewal prices and see what the difference is between them and whether it's worth it. Being able to go to the London attractions in August would be nice.
  18. I am also intrigued as to the argument that they will be adding new attractions. The Blackpool attractions don't get included on the pass till late summer at the moment so are they technically charging people for a period of the year that they can't benefit from the new attractions (assuming they renew at the beginning of the season)By having an AP you have this perception that you are getting in for free as no money is being handed over at the point of arrival. By adding a parking charge, it makes you feel like you are now paying to get in for something that you have already paid for hence people feeling ripped off.Paying to park at Thorpe is ridiculous. It is poorly designed, not suitable for purpose (tarmac please) with no sort of way to remember where you parked your car. I don't drive but I pretty much always go to the parks with someone who does. Once or twice a year isn't much but to get your money for the pass it very quickly mounts up. We probably all spend at least £5 when we are in the parks now but if we knew we had to pay for the parking, we won't spend much more as the cost of our day is always £5 more.
  19. I don't think Merlin would have ever predicted this backlash, especially via Facebook, in nice visible view of everyone.

    No one is dead until the website says they are is the opinion I am taking at the moment.

    For the same reason that everyone lives on Coronation Street, because they have nothing better to do.I am remembering now how predictable Corrie actually is. Some of the twists you see coming a mile off.

    Work seasonally for ASDA on Music and Video. It gets kinda killer at Christmas but it definitely wears you out and makes the shift go faster. Not bad pay either, just I have to work Christmas Eve
  23. I made a new friend at Legoland Discovery Centre.
  24. It's OK. I kinda get the whole noob thing Thanks for the welcomes though.
  25. It seems like if they make more of a big deal about the restaurant in the hotel, more park guests would use it at the end of the day.
