Kerfuffle

How much did it cost Tussauds to relocate the Fish again? (I'm pretty sure it was 4 million or something)

Well, it IS just the brake run and the drop base that are kinda rough, but as for the rest of the ride (including the inside section), it is pretty smooth, but with a few rattles in places

Flying Fish really is in a bad location because of THE SWARM, not as if I'm hating on THE SWARM or anything because I'm not, but Flying Fish is beginning to lose it's whole surfer dude theme! You can basically hear THE SWARM's iconic metallic cry from the Fish, so why not relocate the Fish to (say) the former site of Miss Hippo's Fungle Safari, as Thorpe have done NOTHING with that site since it was closed! If this happened, Flying Fish would totally blend in with the rest of Calypso Quay!

To be fair, if Spinball IS relocated or rethemed, it will be disappointing to see the iconic Sonic the Hedgehog themeing being scrapped, including the announcements!: "WOAH! All right! LET'S GET SPINNING! WOO HOO!" (ring sound) Also, if Spinball was relocated to Thorpe, that'll basicaly mean Adventure Land will be no more!

You know that massive jolt you get coming off the brake run that gives you TONS of airtime? Isnt it meant to be designed to be like that to give some sort of surprise to those in the back row?

Yes

TowersTimes are just one bag of cheap baloney anyway. But if Spinball WAS relocated to Thorpe, it's obvious it's going to be on the site next to THE SWARM, so Spinball will have to be rethemed to fit in with the apocalyptic devastation. Besides, I'd rather travel for an hour to Chessie to ride Dragon's Fury and travel for 4 hours to ride Spinball at AT. It's far wiser for Spinball to just stay where it is really...

Thorpe HAVE had a problem this year!...THE SWARM BACKWARDS AND X FORWARDS!

Why would it be so hard to replace chain links anyway? All it takes is replacing the damaged links with new ones and fitting them together!

It better be open again soon

Bout time. Last time John had his own documentary was in the 90's with 'Themes, Dreams and Scream Machines'

They should either replace the fences to wooden, rickety ones, or just repaint the metal ones to make them look really rusty

What they could do is this: As there are 5 cars per train, the front two cars will face forwards and the back two will face backwards. As for the middle car, front row will face forwards, back row will face backwards. Pretty simple you might say, but this idea is more or less based on the Towering Coaster train design

Better get used to it if you're someone like me: Always sits in the middle seat brandishing two blasters like a lone badass for the whole ride!

It's also shocking how nearly all the rustic themeing was scrapped when Vampire was redone. These were replaced by the ugly purple fences you see today! Remember those coffins they had in the station to separate the air gates?

If they're gonna have those Abdab animatronic in the queueline, they can possibly bring him back to life by making him a grave robber and having one of the animatronics standing next do a dug up grave. Every few minutes, you'll hear him saying his former line: "Here it is! I've found it! Erm...nearly! Come to Abdab my beauty! Ahh! AHHHHHHhhhhhh!" (At this point, he could probably fall into the grave or something, like he did with the chest in Terror Tomb)

Usually, It's my PC doing the gaming! It's always Minecraft, Happy Wheels or RCT3. Otherwise, It's The Smiler, Jetpack Joyride or Fruit Ninja on my iPod or Call of Duty: WaW Team Deathmatch or Nazi Zombies in Der Riese on my Xbox!

Who cares about the backward seats anyway? We have the billboard this year! The billboard really is an excellent near miss, which is why I've filmed it more often in my offride compliation of THE SWARM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=U3lS7s0qtuU Well, OK. The backward rows were there in every shot, but most of us ARE against the backward rows. We don't need to include it!

Shouldn't think so. I think it may have just been composed by Merlin

FASTPASS, you meanEdit by Tommy, reason: Txt talk.

That's actually not a bad idea for the back two rows! People will queue for the back row forwards once again! Also seeing your friends terrified faces will be slightly amusing

That might just ruin the ride completely!

Because one of these days, the queues will get so bad that it might be that THE SWARM's capacity might go down, as the queue for Brave it Backwards also affects Fastrack and the main entrance (at times)

Alton Towers - Where the Magic Never Ends! Wait...WHAT MAGIC?

To make The Asylum more terrifying, they could add in one or two more actors in the chainsaw guy finale. They could be wielding knives alongside the chainsaw guy and wave them around violently. THAT'll get everyone out the maze in a split second!
