  1. Remind them about the lack of dark rides in the UK while your at it!
  2. Out of interest, why is the track going brown already?
  3. Just thought I'd show the result of my experience on Scorpion Express in terms of my imagination for theming in RCT3. This is Scorpion Mine, therefore no prizes for guessing what lurks within that cavern on the left, guarding it's treasure! : Did a bit of parkwide advertisement for the ride as well! (and yes, the slogan used is also used on Scorpion Express!):
  4. ...and there was me thinking Merlin have crossed the line with their storage containers and sheds! This looks so good!
  5. Is there anywhere I can get the main theme tune for Scorpion Express?
  6. I see what you mean there. The building may look huge from the front, but when you go round the back in the queue, it looks TINY! I said this somewhere in the topic before, but so much space was WASTED inside such a small building!
  7. What about that announcement from 2009? "Push your harnesses up, grab your belongings and get out to your left. This may be your only chance of escape!"
  8. Just a random idea. If Chessington had a choice of two past rides to bring back, between Professor Burp's Bubbleworks and Terror Tomb, surely they'd probably go for the EASIEST thing to bring back - Terror Tomb for instance (as all that was changed was the music, storyline (removing Abdab ), the finale and the addtion of scarab beetles and targets)

    It's the same awful job of a preshow queueline as Alton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!
  10. This is all a matter of opinion, but I personally think CBeebies Land is gonna be TERRIBLE no matter what! I mean they've gone and wiped out the last remaining thing from the 1980s and replaced it with something that I may have to put up with passing on my way to The Smiler/Oblivion!

    I still remember how surprised I was to see how quickly TH13TEEN loads and dispatches! THAT'S because it has 3 trains, so why can't Vampire be that way?
  12. Kerfuffle replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    Well, I'm seriously looking forward to seeing three trains in operation again, as sometimes the trains DUEL!
  13. Kerfuffle replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    I thought that looked familiar from last weekend on Vamps!
  14. Such good quality. Why can't there be one of the 5th Dimension in this amount of quality and detail?
  15. Kerfuffle replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    On a positive note though, there was a new RECORDED announcement when I went! "Adventurers...sit back...hold on tight...you're in...FOR A FRIGHT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!" (Yes, this would be the line of the operators, but this was EPIC!) However, the version of the music had changed! Instead of the amazing sounding looped version we used to hear, it's basically this: Yep, you guessed it! It cuts out at the end! Also, the scream sound really is DEAFENING in the station!
  16. Here's the video footage I did of Scorpion Express yesterday. It's currently unlisted, but I'll make it public later on. Apologies for the not-so-steady hand at times, some lack of footage and the over-enthusiastic (but cute) kids in the background! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=00fY0kGAYTE
  17. X

    Kerfuffle replied to Garyy's topic in The Past
    Has the fog machine returned?
  18. Chessington DEFINITELY put in the description that the scorpion is 'guarding' the mine. What they could do at some point is enclose that helix in a building themed around a mine. Then the scorpion would be a brilliant surprise element, AND it'll be guarding the mine alright!
  19. Kerfuffle replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    Dunno how many of you have heard the audio yet, but I've just heard something very disturbing and DISGUSTING within it! It sounds as if something is biting down on something (or someone) else, combined with the sickly sound of crunching and dripping!
  20. Kerfuffle replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    With all this talk about the entrance audio being REALLY loud, these days you hear the station audio playing at the entrance at a very low volume. Surely if they brought back the old audio, they would play it at that volume, if not a tiny bit higher, as if it's heard from the queueline, that would REALLY build the atmosphere!
  21. Kerfuffle replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    Out of interest, does anyone remember that audio that would play in the entrance area to Vampire? It was the one that had stuff like clocks chiming, people screaming, evil laughter, wolves howling and even the sound of someone being slapped/whipped (!).
  22. Lets just hope it's not like that when I go next week
  23. Just as well, I'm going to the preview event on Sunday, so I'll probably take some pictures of the improvements
  24. Kerfuffle replied to Ricky's topic in Stuff
    You're NEVER too old for Lego, dude!
  25. Well C1hrisin, you wanted a POV, so here you are! (This is from 1995, so there's MUCH better footage than other vids!): ...and in case you didnt get much detail :
