In theoryX is a dark ride as its a ride enclosed in the dark (aside from lighting there) and only those riding it can see what's happening. One could argue though that it is just an indoor ride in the way it's enclosed in a metal warehouse and doesn't include much (if any) theming (not that it needs it really). Rides such as Scarab Bouncers are definitely not dark rides because thhohgh they are undercover, the experience is exposed to the passing guests and is clearly just an indoor ride.

That looks one mighty beast!

Last visited the Patk a couple weeks back for Christmas event which despite the rather pricey pass holder fee, was a very nice day. Very friendly staff, lots of loverly Christmas decorations scattered everywhere throughout the park and completely quiet with no queues at all (often rides to ourselves) making for a very relaxed day (which is something I definitely cannot say about Legoland very often). Full report of the trip can be seen here http://forum.maniahub.com/blog/34/entry-649-legoland-a-brickmas-special/ Videos of the trip can be seen below

TBH can't see Bubbles getting a refurbishment for a while (at least on an extensive note). Next year we will see a new penguin enclosure and new show, plus hopefully an improved Skyway (which needs lots of work) and by the looks a modified truckers and bouncers. 2016 will apparently see a major refurbishment (likely TombBlaster) And assuming we see another animal enclosure the year after that, it may be a while before its retheme not to mention Falls is in a state just as bad if not worse.

A Very Happy TPM Xmas - Saturday 20th December 2014
Matt 236 replied to AJ 's topic in TPM 2014 Meets
Agree, TPM Xmas is one of the best meets of the year for all the festive fun and cheers. Last year's was only second to Chessington for enjoyment so let's hope this year's is just as good if not better. -
Quite possibly, Happy Birthday Rubyred95, have a great day

Sorry to bring disapointment but dont think there's any chance of it being a Hobbit IP as apparently it's too expensive. Even Univerdal couldn't afford the tag line I hear. I think on the assumption an IP is used, Hunger Games & Dr Who sound likely choices considering merlin have connections with both company's currently (Cbeebies land, Saw & FN mazes).

2014 has been one hell of a life roller coaster, full of ups and downs. Song of the year Music Video of the year Film of the year Mockingjay part 1 Honourable mention- The Lego Movie TV Show of the year Breaking Bad (yes it's older but I first watched it this year) Personal Moment of the year first ever ride on the big one Honourable mentions- Recording in France, that TPMchessington trip, playing at a function at a theatre

Rides that could potentially oprn for fen half term Coasters/ Swarm Stealth Inferno X Fish Flats Vortex Quantum Detty Zodiac Other rides Dodgems 4d show Banana Depth Charge Storm surge (who knows) Is Braniac returning for February half term or Easter?
-
TBH both rides are as bad as each in most ways however Toadies is the one I prefer of the 2 (especially as Truckers can get nearly 2 hours on a packed out day). However Toadies is most likely of the two to go as apparently the park want to build a coaster on the site.

Before Merlin we had an SLC, screamin squirrel & vekoma corkscrew as the leading rides Now they have a decent mine train coaster, the best Wing Rider in Europe (potentially) and a Krake style dive coaster on the way. Definitely an improved line up since takeover, but just a shame about the minimum of this ride has been applied, thirteen style marketing, Oblivion style logo and a near identical layout to Krake with white track. Efteling on the other hand put a lot more effort on the theming experience and originality of their rides overall (which can definitely be seen in their upcoming dive coaster).

The way to improve truckers? Clean it WITH FIRE!
-
In terms of coasters, I'd say Swarm, Stealth, Fish, X & Inferno stand a good chance of being open. Maybe not all 5 but I'm sure at least 2 of the big ones will be along with the fish and X

Sounds like you've had a fantastic year of Themepark adventures, which I can only envy seeing Blackpool & Towers bring my highlights so far. I think Chessington may have well been the best overall uk park this year somehow.

Best sounds at Thorpe park 5/slammer working 4/ Swarm leaving the station 3/ Colossus antiroll back on the lift 2/ Stealth's air compressors before launch 1/ the roar of Inferno Worst sounds at Thorpe Chavs, break down announcements & storm surge
