  1. It probably won't be traditional 'horror' - for instance the Piggy vinyls on the buildings may be dressed over with those pumpkin disguises used in Angry Birds Seasons "Ham o Ween". Can't be certain though!
  2. Similarly, I remember going to Legoland about 7 or 8 years ago for the LEGO Indiana Jones fireworks...didn't get on ANY rides (besides 'Driving School' )...fireworks show was PANTS...came away with a thumping headache! *shudders*
  3. There ARE huge differences between Gerstlauer and B&M coasters, you know!
  4. ...or be generous and give it away for free!
  5. You can thank Chessington later... ...even though they're not necessarily doing it PROPERLY!
  6. When I think of theme park soundtracks...I think of De Magische Vallei at Toverland! ...not to mention D'wervelwind as well! Seriously...where would the world of atmospheric music be without IMAscore?
  7. Le frog
  8. *visualises spine being snapped, skull being smashed and being killed horribly by what is one of his favourite rides* Its just sickening how The Smiler is such a great ride...yet it BARELY has any themeing! If it weren't for the queueline taking up pretty much ALL of the surface area of the pit, they could've (say) built a small or fairly large structure in similarity to The Marmaliser and make it have some sort of connection to it!
  9. I can imagine it being done on The Smiler
  10. You don't HAVE to literally be on your own. I remember doing Single Rider on Oblivion earlier this year (never again - queue moved WAY too slow! ) and I was with my friend and he was only put directly in the row in front of me. So what I'm saying is that you can still get on with your friend/parent, but you might not be with that person on the ride!
  11. Haven't a clue off the top of my head about bank holidays, but normally on weekends, queues can soar as high as 2 hours - and you think you'll survive two hours in what's practically a PRISON with the constant "HA-HA-HA...HA-HA-HA...HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA" blasting away in the background! What you DO need to take into account TPF is that Towers is the only remaining Merlin park (I think) with Single Rider. Use this to your advantage!
  12. They always have been I think? (Chessington and Alton don't, due to their target market)
  13. If so, then Merlin aren't the only ones making a living! Two can play at that game!
  14. Perhaps Thorpe are trying to make him more...ghostly
  15. CALYPSO QUAY EXPLORERS CLUB APPROVED KITS
  16. ...unless the whole thing blows up in a violent systems malfunction! ...oh wait that's a WHOLE lot worse! *facepalm*
  17. I'd say the volcano itself really does need sorting out! Correct me if I'm wrong but would you say that most of the "volcano" is basically SHED? *glares at the tunnel exit area and around the back*
  18. This pretty much describes my emotions on my first time on the Bubbleworks - and I was 5! ...and nowadays I feel so bad for not taking notice of such a brilliant dark ride! (0:02 *notices Prof Burp's head suddenly falling to the side*)

    What worries me is that if it closes again for maintenance reasons...then it may be the end of the line this time!
  20. Furius Baco has it, so why not?
  21. 1. Nemesis Inferno - My first major rollercoaster and is still a well themed G-force giant to this day! But the most obvious reason is that it's older brother is my overall favourite! 2. THE SWARM - The nearest unique coaster to me and (similar to above) has a TON of G-force and speed! Themeing's good too! 3. SAW - The Ride - A well themed, exhilarating coaster experience I NEVER get bored of with an incredible queueing atmosphere! 4. Stealth - Although I've been on Furius Baco, the speed ALWAYS gets me! Not to be ridden in the rain though... 5. Colossus - NEVER dis the Wardley classic that turned Thorpe's fortunes and threw the coaster world and the record books for a 'loop'! It IS rough most of the time...but hey! 6. Detonator - Bombs Away! - A ridiculously forceful experience that never fails to give my adrenaline fix! 7. Rush - (See above) 8. Logger's Leap - Love the airtime on the main drop...but it really is a good excuse nowadays to not ride Tidal Wave! Must've tampered with the logs recently... 9. Zodiac - Also known as "Deja Vu - The Ride" for good reasons regarding it's superior G-force! (Seriously though does it ever remind you of that last flight abroad?) 10. X - A good fun "larf-in-the-dark" ride! That's it really...
  22. Well I'm now home from getting my GCSE results...and I couldn't be happier! : Science (Principles): Pass Science (Applications): Pass Maths: C Geography: C ( ) Spanish: D English Literature: C English Language: C ICT: Merit COLLEGE FOR ME! Hope everyone else got what they wanted!
  23. Kerfuffle replied to NickD's topic in Nonsense
    You know how you get shops like 'Toys R Us'? Well there's one near me that sells right-angled triangles - 'Pythag R Us'!
  24. *glares at SAW with it's huge wall of barrels and containers making the area more cramped and forcing riders through the shop*
  25. That's reasonable...but personally I prefer riding with my friends...
