  1. Home Haunts

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I built one last year for private use and am building one this year for the public. Website, facebook, twitter and Youtube are already online (http://www.vortexhorrormaze.weebly.com) Starting small this year (just front garden) and I hope the haunt will grow each year. Hoping to have next years haunt bigger (still looking for a venue such as a pub).

    I am releasing public plans to the website, facebook etc very soon which includes a basic layout to give the public time to speculate. I will not at all release the private plans which include what is in each room and what costumes, props etc.

    The project is still in the planning stages so dont have very much information avaliable for this specific haunt.

    Feel free to ask any questions about my haunt and haunts in general!

  3. The Swarm

    I am going on Saturday and now can't wait :wub: just wondering, can you access the island by going round the back of depth charge, and is this quicker than going over neptunes beach and past flying fish?

    You can access the island by going round the back of depth charge but there is not much difference than going over neptunes beach and past flying fish. Its about the same time and distance.

    Hi,Thought I should just put a few photos. Anyone who hasnt been on the swarm get ready to be amazed! :wub: The evil vicor was there but was only stalking guests in the q line not talking in the station. For those wondering about the on ride videos, when I was sitting at the back I could see a circuit board named 'Video' so that may be something to do with it.Anyway the pictures are below:Queue line TV ScreensPosted ImageSome sections of track and a bit of the lift hillPosted ImageSome more track sections (and the sun)Posted ImageTV SatelitePosted ImageLift Hill and the most incredible bit of track!Posted ImageFiretruck and depth charge behind. (missed out on the smoke coming out of the truck.)Posted ImageEnjoy!Edit: Can someone resize these if needed. I tried and it didn't work.

  9. Legoland work experience

    in UK Attractions

    Posted

    Unless they've changed since last year, you CAN check bars at legoland. You just have an attendant shadowing you. It's brill.

    Wow that does sound good!Any idea about what rides you can check bars on?I want to do rides but the school are organising it so I am guessing that when I get there they ask what I would be intrested in or something.

  11. Nemesis Inferno Super Size Seats

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    The original press release did mention providing larger seats for other rides. Cant see it happening in a million years, but I would welcome it myself on Colossus - have ssen a lot of people not fit on there and I'm getting close!

    Yes if any thorpe park ride needs car modifications it would be Colossus. You head gets banged around sometimes as well. The head rest is not exactly soft.And I like you signature. Funniest life of brian moment.
