  1. Really love how the parks been improving lighting at their parks a lot recently, makes night time experiences much better in my opinion.
  2. Absolutely gutted! Was supposed to be going to this tonight for my first ever Chessington Halloween event (even when it was Hocus Pocus). However due to reasons out my control, this was cancelled last minute. I guess it'll be next year now, just hope they keep the current mazes there.

    This Or That

    Cabin in the woods Mystery of Hocus Pocus or Haunting in the hollows?
  4. Banned for triple posting ;)
  5. Banned because I didn't get to Chessington today
  6. TBH I think Samurai needs extensive refurbishment or just complete replacement. For a 15 years old (fairground) ride, it's done quite well to last as lo as it is but seeing it not seeing the last few seasons out does show it's towards the end of its life. Could do with replacing in the near future, either with a new too scan or even an air race (which could work). Dare I say even Slammer seems more reliable than old Sammy so far
  7. Very happy/excited about this new addition. Though Air Races (look) good rides, I think it's a good choice by the park as not just is it more unique addition to the park and uk overall. At least we're getting one decent ride for 2015 in the uk.

    This Or That

    Tricky one (as they're both B&M's) but Oziris Helix or Bluefire?
  11. The Hunger Games (that's if this is true and happens)
  12. Went to thorpe park (once again) again last Sunday. Ride count Closed rides- Fish, Samurai, Caroulsel (after 3pm), Loggers & Rocky (after 5pm), Rumba (broke down later) Inferno Swarm x3 Stealth Colossus Saw Loggers Leap Rocky Express Rumba Rush Quantum Slammer Depth Charge Caroulsel Banana ride Teacups Dodgems Angry Birds 4D Detonator Total 20 Maze count Cabin S13 x3 (one was face it alone) My Bloody a Valentine Blair Witch Saw Alive Total 7 Reserve and ride was running this day and despite hearing mixed things of on the Saturday, the system seemed to work well for my group (at least to begin with) where one of us would reserve one thing and someone rose another. We pretty much hot on the mazes within 5 minutes or so except our second run on Studio which took a lot longer. Did face it alone again, this time in Studio which was really good, actors dragged me along, shouted at me among a number of other things too which was a intense but good experience and still related to the studio theme too, not to mention being chased alone by the chain saw, but I think that's enough spoilers for now but it's an experience if recommend for those ego love scare mazes. Definitely recommend studio for face it alone. Pros Face it alone Champagne (for face it alone) Night rides Bar 360 were good today Mazes were running better today One of.my more relaxing thorpe trips recently Reserve and ride actually worked Colossus front row (and short queue) Cons One train operation at the start of the day (fantastic Thorpe ) Rumba broke when we were nearby Teacups are too stiff (need to loosen up) Samurai died Will be returning next Monday and also for a few hours Friday morning too, this was also my tenth visit this year.

    Scarefest

    Looks amazing at night, the colours around the ride areas blend so well, Merlin have definitely put a lot of effort and improvement to park lighting at their parks this year for Halloween. Even Rita looks good.
  14. Inferno is a decent sequel to the original. Whilst Nemy is (obviously) the better ride, both have their strong points, Nemesis uses strong forces flying through twists, helixes and inversions while gaining speed, whilst Inferno features an amazing tunnel (when the mist works), interlocking corkscrews on top of lots of little moments of force and bliss, plus an intense helix and shrubbery for the ride to interact with.
  15. Loves the Lego movie & agrees Legoland has passed its best
  16. As much as I absolutely love and enjoy face it alone, I think I'll pass on this one.
  17. Here I go Themepark Alton Towers Steel coaster Nemesis Wooden Coaster Megafobia Country Spain Band Oasis Disney Song- Friend Like me Non Disney song Summer Restaurant anything, but I really like Thai/Chinese Restaurant chain- Nandos or Harvester Tv show Family Guy or breaking bad Uk City Blackpool (where could you find so many amusements in a small space in the uk) Ice cream- Caramel Book Hunger a Games Disney film Aladdin Non Disney film Gladiator Articles of clothing, shirt and tie for smart ocassions, otherwise casual hoodies with t-shirts that either mention music, themeparks or Disney. Mah
  18. Banned because so many people have banned him because of that
