    This Or That

    TOPIC REVIVAL! Episodes IV-VI by a country mile (even though I grew up with I-III Digger Challenge or Mia's Riding School?
  2. Plus, I've never been a fan of Digger Challenge and prefer Mia's Riding School much more, part of me is even a bit glad.
  3. I think we may have a future trip reporter on the way Thanks Peaj for organising another fantastic meet and was great to everyone again.
  4. So want to go Efteling & Europa right now

    Slammer

    Glad to see Slammer is testing again, let's hope it opens ASAP The day I see slammer operating from beginning to end of season will be the day of great amazement
  7. This is the most exciting thing to happen since my first trip to Disney :D which probably means I need to get out more
  8. Twisted Colossus looks great fun, we need to get one of these in the UK

    Legoland

    No you should be fine hopefully. On another note, Lego Friends area is opening this weekend which is replacing Lego City along with the new disko coaster which is the best thing about the new area by a counteymile. Any word yet on the haunted house appeal yet as this ride needs to happen for the sake of throughputs, immersive experiences and major park rides.

    Slammer

    Detty is a great drop ride despite it's low'ish throughput and for me only second to Tower Of Terror ( but then that's another league there). Slammer though we're almost 4 months in to the season and there's still no life in here (which is a shame as its 10 this year). If I see nothing by June/July time we could safely say the ride is gone and SBNO this year.
  11. Put me as an unconfirmed yes for this, Would anyone be able to give me a lift? If you can't get to me I'll be willing to meet closer to you

    Legoland

    As far as I'm aware, there are no restrictions when it comes to age groups at the park. I've been there many times with people over the the 16 age group (whilst none are within that bracket) and I've been able to get in to the park hassle free. It's not like Gullivers which is very difficult to visit without children and if you they are a little OTT about it (so I've heard)
  13. I'm getting the impression this Pop badge thing is a merlin equivalent toDisney's pin trading Still a fun concept so don't see a problem with it
  14. I wouldn't hold your breath on that one, last year it cost me £9 for two small bottles of Magners and discount wasn't available. Does anyone know if tickets are on sale for this event yet?
  15. TBH I think the wooden coaster here is the only major draw to this park (aside from the fairly decent Pleasure Wood Hills & Joyland (with the last Virginia well, snail thing & WGH coaster) within very close distance. It's a place I really want to go, but aside from the woodie, it would be just for creds.
  16. It was 3 weeks ago today that I started my voyage to the most happiest place in Europe (although it may actually be second after Europa), Disneyland Paris. Doing a weekend trip at Towers in a few weeks plus My first ever lift hill walk then too (I'll let you guess which ride ) which I'm excited about. Aside from numerous thorpe trips and another Lego & chessington trip, should hopefully be making it back to Oakwood in August (on the condition potential 'family holiday' plans don't tangle things). Really tempted to do Efteling this year, but don't want to face it alone (Baron ) I also wanna do dreamland too (Unofficial meet anyone?)
  17. Well it marginally better than that other metal coaster thing they have, but it's no Octonauts. Wasn't the thing they removed some kind of car ride themed around Dellboy or something?
  18. Colossus has been cursed with one train operations since the beginning of time, The day thorpe put it on two all the day will be amazing!
  19. Don't forget Tidal Wave's fire ball, Is Slammer going and CCr returning
  20. If Colossus receives it's (forever long speculated) repaint, I will let the park off everything negative thing they've done this season apart from Slammer

    Scarefest

    Whilst I am yet to properly experience a Scarefest myself, from what I've heard about the last few years (which generally sound like it was getting repetitive and going down hill), a new maze sounds a very welcomed and much needed addition and it's good to see there will be some big enhancements to the existing ones.
  22. Well it's no Baron1898 on appearance, however we will have to see if they can make this beast look more appearance friendly in 2016.

    The Simpsons

    I couldn't find a topic anywhere for this surprisingly, so I decided to make one. The Simpsons is a long established cartoon television show that's been around now for over 25 years and in its time has been very popular. However today, one of the show's long running voice actors Harry Shearer has apparently decided to quit the show, following some disputes including wanting to do other work. Some of you may not know who he is, but has voiced a big chunk of some of the show's primary & secondary characters including Mr a Burns, Smithers, Principle Skinner, Kent Brockman, Ned Flanders & Reverend love joy. Source-BBC news If he's gone for good that's potentially a big chunk of characters that will disappear from the show and would need a big chunk of new faces to fill in that giant gap. Could this be the beginning of the end for the Simpsons?
  24. Staines don't sound a bad idea, but I do like Harvester very much (can't go wrong with the salad bar & lemon blizzard to finish)
