With the ongoing refurbishment of Phantom Manor continuing in the background, a new photo booth has been installed outside, with the supposed theme of the ghostly inhabitants of the Manor "escaping" into Thunder Mesa.
No offence but I'm quite certain that enthusiasts on this site pointing and laughing at simple spelling errors or indeed typos is nothing new...
Hopefully this means the actual context of the story won't be changing but it's rather made a little easier to understand through the experience inside the building (considering the complexity of it, given it has a written version). Hopefully the Vincent Price voiceover will be incorporated but who knows. Music deserves some love too, whether the score remains the same just with updated sound systems or the whole thing is remastered, hopefully it'll remain in its current glory...or better!
It's the last picture that really gets me. The contrast between track colour, station and surrounding scenery is utterly incredible
It excites me to see how quickly this is going up! While I'll be going in exactly a month, those who wanna bank on it being open in that time frame...good luck.
At the end of the day, that last thing is all you can do as an individual. Yes, I'm a hater of most enthusiast groups myself for the same reason (if not a few more) and if they wanna d*ck around acting more like different groups of 5 year olds, that's their business. Leave them to it.
Well it beats Tomb Blaster's shed tbh.
Clearly some people need to realise that's where Helix get's it's thrill factor from - the amount of vulnerability experienced in the seats during the ride. According to some recent feedback though, the seatbelts don't seem to have any effect on the airtime or whatever anyway Panic over for now hopefully!
...which is exactly why the Fifth Dimension failed in its first season at Chessington. To cut a long story short, you could say some people wanted to be reassured they weren't queueing for the toilet...
...and that's why you do NOT go to town with UV lighting, kids!
Back in December I completed my most complex attraction to date - 'Mysteria: The Legend of The Manor' is a trackless motion platform dark ride themed around the chilling legacy of Batzville Manor and the disturbing secrets hidden within...complete with a complex backstory for which I could be here all night going through it. Over the past few months however, extra details have gone into the ride, mostly on the exterior - inside however has seen some extra "lodgers", from a skeleton pianist to a couple of ghouls locked in a game of chess for what seems an eternity. Before and after shots of the entrance facade. Spot the differences! ...and today I installed a ride with a simple, easy to understand theme. The theme of 'Galloper Express' speaks for itself, as you take on an out-of-control stagecoach ride through the canyon all while a wild gunfight rages around you. Hold onto your hats!
Name's rubbish though. Try saying that one 5 times fast...
That footage of the Vampire station...
Happy to say for the past week I've been learning both guitar and bass.
Just my general opinion and I don't mean to be fussy...but am I the only one who misses the original chatroom? Chatbox is great where it is though (or "Shoutbox" depending on how long you've been here), it just doesn't get a lot of conversation for obvious reasons - unlike the chatroom, there just isn't that sense of privacy.
Can't help but to think Thirteen having storage boxes will slow down loading time quite a bit considering how fast it typically runs...
The amount of UV lighting in there is actually overkill. What's that Chessie? You need a new name for the ride? "Purple Tomb". There. Done. Thank me later chaps, I'm off to the pub...
It's always prior to opening and when they add finishing touches when a new ride looks so gorgeous! So excited to try this! ...Life is hard when you're a southerner with limited transportation though.
