  2. Rant

    in The Real World

    Posted

    That doesn't sound very good Mer on how it was organised.

    Anyways,

    As part of my college course which is Music, I have to plan an event with a band I am organised with for the whole year. After I booked a gig at a local venue for late may, the other band members were supposed to have organised many other acts to support us during the event.

    However after to posting in my band's closed fb page over the lack of info I have of the acts for the night, instead of receiving helpful info or advice, I got blunt criticisms saying I was joking on the matter when they're the ones who are supposedly organising this with me. One member said I should contact a certain band member who should have the info however I have received no response and when I responded on the page, one band member said to sort it even though I'm not the one responsible for it.

    My band members are really driving me up the wall ATM (some more than others) as they're either not doing their roles properly in the band, not giving me the required information, advice or just brutally criticising me over various problems that aren't completely my fault which I think is not on. There's one particular band member who is completely unhelpful and criticises everyone else while he is not retaining his own duties when the gig is in just over three weeks time.

    Can't wait to finish the band as I'm just not enjoying it in terms of management and certain band member's attitudes towards everything. Rant over.

    I wonder how this will affect the ride in terms of operations and throughput, I have no idea how four train operation would work or if it would even be possible.

  6. Places To Eat

    I think in terms of the main Transylvanian eatery, I could argue it has been going down hill in both quality and experience since each renovation.

    Black Chateau/ 1st generation,(1987-1997) know little about this place but I know it had lots of decent theming inside and on the face as well as a music animatronic.

    McDonald's/ 2nd generation (1997-2007), introduction of the count cauldron facade when there is already a castle in the area and removal of the organist inside too.

    Burger King 3rd generation, (2008-2012), not much changes apart from signage but prefer McDonald's.

    Burger Kitchen 4th generation (2013-present), castle facade is replaced with a simpler one although with some odd colours. Creepy theming is toned down inside and the awesome count chairs replaced by more bland common chairs and tables, the food is also much worse than Burger King and McDonald's.

    I have to admit, the pre show is very interactive and quite entertaining as it can detact who is and isn't taking part in the audience as well as names of people. However the audio sync is rather shocking and the pre-show appears to be more aimed at kids.

    6/ If you have any technical problems or queries, message a moderator.

    7/ If you feel there are any members bullying you or anything related, contact a moderator

    8/ Don't post anything sexist, homophobic, racist or any other form that may be offensive towards other members otherwise you will be banned.

    9/ If you wish to attend any trips and meets, check the TPM meet topic.

  24. The Smiler

    I've found in some cases SRQ is a longer wait than the main queue. For example when I queued for Oblvion, the queue wasn't moving for a good half hour and at Rita they closed it due to similar reasons.
