  1. This is probably the wrong place to put this but I don't suppose anyone wants to meet up with me on Friday or Sunday. And to those that I invited on the fb page, I accidentally deleted it, I still want to go
  2. The choice does confuse me as there are much more eligible woodies to under go this, namely its cousin in SFA but yeah this is a cheap way of getting more people in the park and it will be interesting to see how RMC will make out of an already twisty layout by GCI. It's a shame really as I heard it weren't all that bad, in fact quite the opposite, anyway I'm excited to see what they do with it
  3. Looks like we have found the new six flags RMC hybrid coaster here
  4. Back on track now, supposedly this is a rendering... Source: vekoma's facebook page https://www.facebook.com/vekoma.rides.manufacturing/photos/pcb.1641146399504941/1641143836171864/?type=1&theater
  5. Believe it.... the video is german but go to 2 mins and there you go http://www.sat1regional.de/aktuell/article/nervenkitzel-pur-in-sierksdorf-steht-deutschlands-hoechste-achterbahn-178247.html
  6. Such an awesome shot and such a beautiful coaster!!
  7. According to sources on facebook as well as people on media day this ride has which is something that was long rumoured on smiler but never happened so could this actually be true, https://www.facebook.com/themeparkguide.de?fref=ts
  8. Some of the preshows when entering Baron.
  9. So since 2013 when I posted my original list my priorities have completely changed lol, I'm a completely different person as well so here we go 1. Watch the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo 2. Go to California (happening next year... Eeek!!!) 3. Go to canada and raft guide (I'm a raft guide down CIWW for those that don't know ) or kayak the rivers there. 4. Bungee jump 5. Scuba dive somewhere exotic 6. Kayak in the Alps 7. Kayak the kaituna as well as work for a summer in New zealand. 8. Eventually get a full time job in something I really enjoy. 9. Fully own a car (currently on a finance agreement) 10. Climb one of the big 7 mountains. 11. Go to China (shanghai and Beijing) 12. Go on safari in africa like my parents did 13. Go to Brazil and see the carnivals there. 14. Ride the respectively, tallest, fastest and longest coasters in the world. 15. Just generally travel to place I have never been before other the the places I have specified I really want to go to 16. Would love to enter a rally race even if it was just the once 17. Try and learn the guitar or bass guitar 18. Go to a concert 19. Go to Glastonbury or Coachella 20. Enter a contest for flowboarding 21. And go to a sausage dog hotel
  10. Very sad news, BBC news has confirmed along with her lawyers that Vicky Balch has had her leg amputated below the knee. I hope she gets the best treatment possible and make as swift a recovery as she can, poor soul http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-33296533
  11. That's because it is Baron is 98ft tall with a 123ft drop Krake is 135ft tall as is its drop. Hope that helps Either way this attraction is beautiful and I cant wait to see it some day
  12. Something minor, but they have added LED lights on Blue fire, so it should look fab at night https://www.facebook.com/EPstreet/photos/a.1559522617646243.1073741829.1424325221165984/1580808438850994/?type=1&theater

    Colossus

    There 4 at once on wodan when I went in 2013 lol but then the queue was like 70 minutes for it so is to be expected lol
  14. I will be there that day again a bit like Towers with Dean Gary Cox, So I'm sure I will see you lot anyhow plus I live in Cardiff so I'd feel like a bellend if I didn't come with you lot in cardiff for at least part of the day
  15. First POV and it looks fab fab FAB!!!
  16. Oh look here is another news story about an Alton towers breakdown that was blown out of proportion!! I knew this would become a regular thing.... http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jun/11/alton-towers-ride-evacuated-a-week-after-rollercoaster-crash

    I went on it once a long long time ago in 2002, but It was so long ago I can't remember the difference, I just have a distinct memory of going on both voodoo mansion and spooky 3d lol
  18. Several minutes..... Major facepalm... I can just see a new Alton towers news story every week now for the rest of the season with stories 10 minute breakdowns, its actually pathetic! An insult to the actual incident which is the only one that should be shown on the news...
  19. Tbh I still call it Hydro now lol but I think the rename was more of the new company not wanting the negative aspect of the name but yeah I get what you are saying
  20. While this is True, it is now called Drenched so they have changed its name to get rid of the original name's negative connotation, it wouldn't surprise me if they do the same with The Smiler but something more substantial that includes new themeing also. I don't think it will close, even my mum who is a stickler for Health and safety and is scared of coasters herself said it would be weird and a bit silly tearing it down as they would lose so much money, and they could just improve safety with updated trains and what not. Its dreadful to hear about this girl and I hope Merlin Pay out respectfully and give this girl 110% support and care she will most definitely needs. I prey her life will still be prosperous, and that she still can live her life to the full, poor, poor girl
  21. I can already see journalists planning to get in tomorrow to see if they can take some snaps of smiler, if Alton Towers were wise they would start the barrier from spinball. But I'm glad they can open again. I assume that Sonic is closed for the same reason as Rattlesnake and Dragon's Fury and will be closed until they have trained all staff with new safety protocols so I assume it won't be closed for too much longer
  22. Supposedly Sonic Spinball will stay closed (doesn't surprise me with Dragons Fury closed) as well and there will be no ERT tomorrow according to Alton Towers FAQ page. http://www.altontowers.com/FAQ
  23. Alton towers opens tomorrow! Here is a statement from their facebook page: Lets hope people support the park, when they open as Merlin have handled this impeccably and I think people should support that Source: https://www.facebook.com/altontowersresort?fref=ts edit: damn it Armarghh sort of beat me to it haha
  24. "The two additional rollercoaster rides taken out of service are both at Chessington - Dragon's Fury and Rattlesnake." This has really crippled Merlin, I'm happy they are making rides a lot safer but this will cripple Chessington as now only 2 coasters out of 4 are open, hopefully they can sort this soon as Merlin will lose a lot of money from this from people wanting refund etc, I am just happy though they are doing their upmost effort to make sure these rides are safe.
  25. Cu Chulainn POV here, I think it does look incredible! Many, many airtime moments, twisty, doesn't lose pace at all by the looks of things and a he man train, best looking woodie in the british isles thats for sure!!
