Kerfuffle

What worries me is that if this rock face continues to fall apart, a major disaster regarding the water circulation might be inbound, because I think the wall was leaking slightly last time I went...

Hate to say it but...Angry Birds 4D! King Pig's or Tuk Tuk Turmoil?

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear on that one, but that rant is basically targetting anyone of that age group who's always after some attention. What irritated me about that kid in the queue for Colossus is that while his friends were buying something basic, he goes a little over-the-top and buys a can of Relentless, and as I said in the rant I made, he WAS possibly after that energy kick, but surely if he made a more sensible decision, he could've easily just bought a coke or something. You should know where I'm coming from now...

I really do love the fact that at some theme parks today, a few fairground rides are taking some sort of twist! 'Black Revolver' at Drayton Manor for example. That's basically a waltzer enclosed inside a building, combined with fog, strobes and sound effects! Not forgetting 'Drunken Barrels' as well - a genuine teacups ride with a difference! I've never ridden a teacups ride in my life where the entire platform tilts up!

But for now I suppose all there's left to do is just to not get our hopes up! Whether it returns or not is currently a mystery... Still, Mystery isn't the only thing I'm looking forward to! What about the excellent acting in Haunting in the Hollows and also the parkwide lighting? That deserves some credit at least!

Nemesis! Google or Bing?

Coasters, dammit! Noel Gallagher or Liam Gallagher?

I can't really understand though why the ride hasn't been swinging as high as it always has been! When I went for my last day before GCSEs, it was only swinging up to a right angle, rather than slightly beyond that like normal. I'm pretty sure it's been like that since then...

That's pretty much the point of charges though. If it weren't for (say) a charge of £10, and the maze was THAT good an experience, then just think how crowded it'll be! And these mazes rely on quick, clean capacity most of the time - Over-crowdedness isn't going to help!

I don't. If I pull my restraint down too much on (say) Rush, for the whole ride I'm just pinned to the back of a rock-solid seat, which is painfully in contact with the base of my spine for the whole ride! So alternatively, I just allow a little room between me and the restraint and enjoy the airtime!

1990 This or That: First post: Vampire or Bubbleworks?

Apparently the restraints are bulky as they are today for health and safety reasons - I heard that when the ride originally opened, it featured different restraints, but these somehow allowed your legs to dangle off the side of the car!

Just a bit concerned about Twisted Colossus for the fact when one train slows right down on the second lifthill, the other train just SHOOTS up it!

Would it be appropriate to bring in a 'You're Next' maze, opposing to the roaming actors last year?

It'll be interesting to see how Scorpion Express might look at Halloween! Obviously it may be the lighting that'll have an effect on the ride, bit then again, don't Chessie often associate reptiles and insects with Howl o Ween? (Kobra for instance with its green lighting)

I HAD an Inferno drinks can...until I lost it at Chessie! (Still, only £4 anyway!)

Paint! I'm not a 5 year old kid scrawling those waxy things in random directions across paper! Angry Birds or Bad Piggies?

Might not be for much longer though...

Colossus! MUCH better layout! Nemesis or Inferno? *awaits Jack's reply*

I strongly agree with you there about HPH! Not only the soundtrack, but also the themeing in general blew me away! I remember the second I walked into the jungle scene, I just thought "Wow! How the heck was this much detail possible?" (later to be interrupted by the 'Guardian of the Kobra' )

Azteca hotel! Nokia or Android?

...and Helix!

Hmm, think this thread needs to be revived! Scorpion Express or Flying Fish?

...not if you pull them down too much though! I've done that before and it HURT!

What scares me sometimes is the restraints! Even after all we've been hearing about them going up a click, I still find the over-head restraint a bit concerning. One of these days, someone's going to slip right through it!
