Kerfuffle

Improved Dragon Falls and Tomb Blaster are all I want to see next year tbh. (feel free to add any others if I'm missing any)

I'm crying! This is just too good!

How's it working for you? It hasn't been letting me connect on web AND mobile for like half an hour now!

Slack's down for me at the mo. Anyone else having this?

So recently I've been working on my new Mack Megacoaster, Vulcan, and these are a couple of pictures I got with my phone (hence the poor quality) : The ride's (new) building, with the ride entrance where the steps are and the ride shop jutting out on the right. An overview of the ride, featuring the behemoth of a show building as the volcano with the major parts of the ride neatly hidden behind! ...and in case you're wondering what horrors lurk inside this volcano, well...

So last night I dreamt I was at Chessington and I remember discovering Vampire had a hidden layout with the old bat trains being used on it! And as it had a separate station, I remember it basically being an old railway station?!! Also, strangest of all, the Fangtasia shop detail-wise looked a bit like the D'wervelwind station??? There was a LOT of wind last night and I had left my window on ventilation meaning I had drafts coming in, so that was probably the cause of such a strange dream!

Well it's about flipping time!

...and this is where Legoland come in!

This sounds fantastic! Hopefully there's a way I can get there though (around 40 minutes to Airhop from Bracknell )

Well riding a woodie is also (nearly) tragic! Try riding Gwazi with a lapbar that's not properly locked in... (Good thing Gwazi's been demolished! )

Sorry, but no. If ISIS knew the Qu'ran, none of this would've happened. No religion would ever allow violence. Although it's been reported they attacked Paris in revenge to them bombing Syria, I still think they're completely ignoring religion.

ISIS have now reportedly confirmed responsibility for the attacks. This time those filthy, heartless scumbags have gone way too far...

(Do excuse me for posting yet another Oasis song ) So most of you by now may have seen John Lewis' Xmas advert for this year. The song featured was a cover of the Oasis classic 'Half The World Away', which not only fitted the advert and the story it's telling perfectly, but all in all it's simply a great track!

I can only assume that Thorpe mainly want to make Loggers like a whole new ride, considering it's one of the park's oldest rides, having been there since the 80s. If this means bringing back the tunnel, adding some new effects...or even having some major work done to the layout*, then I'd be very happy! (* Please let there be a backwards section!!!)

Thorpe have now presented us with this: http://www.facebook.com/thorpepark/videos/10153630337445867/

Well at least Furius Baco is so much faster and intense than its B&M counterpart.

But wouldn't selling off SeaLife have an impact on Merlin in a way, as it plays a big part in their conservation charity?

Loggers is an old (OLD) ride now, so I'm very happy for its closure next year! Besides, it must mean we'll be seeing a tunnel in 2017!

Wishful thinking.

Thorpe Park: x6 Alton Towers: x2 Legoland: x1 (excluding shifts I've worked there this season) Well this year was great theme park-wise, I guess...

I'd personally want to see SAW have some sprucing up! It did have quite a bit of freshening up this year in terms of effects (eg. station announcements, including the old offload announcement), but I think it still needs more. They can start with possibly moving the police car back to its original location by the area entrance. Remember when it had its own sound effects while it was still there? I'll always remember the odd wail of the siren, followed by various panicked radio messages, such as "We have no idea what's going on in there" and "Do not enter the building alone! I repeat! Do not enter the building alone!"

I think you and Bucky are going to get on just fine...

Happy birthday EC and BBJ!
