Port Aventura has many draws to visit there 1/ a top hyper coaster & decent sit down looper 2/ I pressive shows & theming 3/ lots of water rides such as the longest splash battle 4/ A rough intamin

Following a few uncertain conflicts (which have since been resolved), I'm happy to announce I can now definitely attend this meet now. Look forward to seeing you all there next week

Just when I though Merlin were strict on ride possessions, Universal surpassed this. By a thousand times!!!

As far as I'm aware, here's what I reckon will be happening for SW8 1/ It will either be an RMC or B&M prototype 2/ the coaster will either be in Forbidden Valley (where Blade & Ripsaw are) or Cross Valley Hopefully the track will not be Merlin black, (since we have three coasters here already with that colour scheme)

Why does the track here remind me of Helix?

JOSH C IS CORRECT Actually 3 is the lie (Inferno Martin wins). Unfortunately I never went on a (proper) school music tour in my time, but my sixth form school did the year after I left 2/ I did watch Robot Wars at Wembley stadium and it was great fun. Had to support one side of the different battle thingies. 1/ I did do work inspiration at ITV back in 2011 for a week. Got too see TV sets such as Daybreak & this morning plus even got to see a few familiar faces such as Bradley Walsh & Keith Lemon.

Right, not sure if I should take this go I'm doing it anyway 1/ ive done work experience at the ITV studios London 2/ I watched Robot wars at Wembley arena when I was little 3/ I went on a school music tour to Austria in 2009

Plus quite often you won't see more than one merlin park each year install something big (though that said the last big merlin ride in the uk we saw was during 2013).

Here's another of my many videos as part of a new series of clips where I react to things that have happened in the theme park news or situations. It's not meant to be serious

Even Legoland is (now) better at throughputs than Chessington. Compare this: Legoland Atlantis 1200 Viking River Splash 1200 Jolly Rocker 1000 Dragon 900 (3 train) Pirate Falls 700 Laser Raiders 500 VS Chessington Falls 1000 Tombs 600 Fury 550 Bubbles 600 Zufari unknown Rattlesnake 350 Scorpion 500 Legoland isn't perfect but does seem to have better throughputs these days (says a lot ImO).

10-7pm for park hours at Drayton is fantastic. I'd love to see other uk parks fo that, cough cough Alton. As for their closed rides, all I can say is it's not been a good for them in the uk with thorpe with Detty, vortex, Samurai & slammer closed & Chessie having issues with Vampire whilst Towers still have Nemy closed.

Sky ride fastrack? Next you'll be telling me Jungle bouncers, Tuk Tuk & Jungle Bus will be getting it

I'm still yet to try this new attraction, so have no understanding so far how this attraction will work as a whole, but hope it's as good as the pictures make it.

A queue line should be more than just somewhere where people just move around a small long pathway merely waiting for a ride. It should be at least one of the following: 1/ a place to bring people in to a story or setting. Examples, Duel, Hex,Oblivion, 2/ showcase and build up different elements of a ride. Examples, Nemesis, Colossus & Black Mamba 3/ Bring you through different themed rooms & settings (slightly similar to 1). Examples, Maus Au chocolate, Tower Of Terror & Dragon A cattle pen is only acceptable if: 1/ it is the extended queue line and is only used on very busy days I.E space Mountain mission 2 2/ The ride has a high throughput I.E Ratatouiee 3/ the park isn't a leading park I.E Oakwood & Lightwater Valley Ok, a cattle pen is the easiest & cheapest option for a ride queue, but it isn't generally nice to queue in especially on a hot busy day with disruptive crowds and the like. Unfortunately, most of Merlin's new rides seem to have cattle pen queues and only a few of them actually work, Smilers only does because you have the excitement of interacting with the ride above you & Atlantis because there's a short but immersive queue indoors (and it's generally good at throughputs). Saw for me is generally the worst to queue in (but maybe that's supposed to be duty its torture theme).

The First bits of track are now starting to appear on the new structure of the ride. Dare I say this for me at the moment is perhaps the most exciting thing happening in thrmepark in the uk at the moment?

2 Or is the lying game a lie

The difficulty of the big six is getting them all done with Towers queues and open hours (think I'll miss Rita). On another note, Towers have released the a Nemesis 21 talk to their YouTube channel (or at least parts of it)

Number 2, I reckon

Maybe were all going to see Doctor Who travel back in time to the Victorian era where we meet Jack the Ripper herding a Swarm of Daleks at everyone. It could work.

Wow! I never realised how much great Disney & Universal elements at this park were, think Ill need to check this place out one day

Ok, I feel that I should ship in with some interesting facts then for this new addition. 1/ It's opening next year 2/ It's a dark ride which means it will be indoors and undercover 3/ It's going to be at Thorpe Park which is located in Surrey United Kingdom
