    Kerfuffle got a reaction from ste193 in The Smiler   
    I've heard the track's now finished, so I wanna see the first few test runs pretty soon, but at least the screen on The Marmaliser's been tested!
    Anyone notice the use of SAW - The Ride in the footage? Big mistake AT! The blades in the background give away the whole atmosphere!

    Anyway, those, including me, who've been on Nemesis at Alton Towers, they may seem to think that maybe Inferno isnt such a great coaster, but in truth, its one of my favourite coasters on park! I mean, who could go wrong with the theming? A more natural looking volcano today, combined with different shades of red, black and green! Some of the best theming on a ride I'd say, along with THE SWARM and SAW. But some could say the theming and the actual ride experience mix very well...

    Just a shame the queue audio isnt playing. That TOTALLY reved up the atmosphere for the ride!

    I don't think the billboards been themed to make it seem its been dumped by the swarm, so what's a London style billboard doing parked right next to a church? Doesn't make any sense

    NOOOOOOO!!
    If that is true, it's probably a great thing for the longevity of the ride and disturbance from neighbours, but still... Whenever I hear that sound it's so nostalgic!

    Kerfuffle got a reaction from pluk in Bubbleworks   
    First of all, I'm NOT calling John a moron, as he was in semi retirement at the time of the retheme so he didnt have a chance to have his say about the retheme. Secondly, why WOULD I call John a moron? He's freakin amazing! I'm pretty sure it was someone else who was responsible for the retheme from what ive heard of...
    However, when I said "Bring back Professor Burp", it could've meant two things; one is to just bring back the original fizzy drinks themeing, but as RideAddict said, they may not retheme it EXACTLY to Prof Burp, so secondly they could just retheme it to something similar to Professor Burp that will actually blend in with Transylvania

    It's been open for 23 years, but nowadays, people are coming off it with the usual faces of sheer boredom and disappointment. Why? Because of the one moron who came up with the idea of the retheme of a stupidly popular dark ride to an even stupider soap factory theme! Honestly, what does that have to do with Transylvania at all?
    Professor Burp's Bubbleworks was, without a doubt, the best out of the two. John Wardley had even said that the ride is there to make you feel you're in a comic book, hence the animatronics, cartoons and, of course, huge amount of puns and humour on the ride!(Remember "Hic-Cups" and the "Orange Squash Courts"?) Are there any puns in the Imperial Leather Bubbleworks today? The answer is very, VERY simple...NO! NO! NO and NO! The music for Prof Burp! I just can't describe it's awesomeness! The office music is literally in my head 24 HOURS A DAY!!! All I can say is, THANK GOD it's still in the ride today!
    However, the ONLY negative for Professor Burp was that the first Burp animatronic TOTALLY creeped me out! I mean, I only experienced Burp when I was 5 and when we floated past the office scene, suddenly, Burp's head just FREEFALLS to the side! (I could've sworn his eyes were revolving as well!) You can also imagine what it would be like if Burp's HEAD revolved!
    Moving onto Imperial Leather, all I can say is, this is gonna be one HELL of an argument! First of all, Tussauds were responsible for the retheme and you proably want to know the reason: MONEY! They transformed a popular and amusing dark ride into a boring and POINTLESS dark ride...FOR MONEY! They got money from the popularity of Professor Burp anyway! Also, as I said somewhere above, Professor Burp had a TON of puns, jokes and laughs. Imperial Leather? NONE! This is the ONE reason people are coming off the ride slightly...NO...VERY BORED INDEED!
    And what about the theming? The station for Professor Burp had TONS: Crates of fruit, posters advertising his drinks ("Luminous Pop: The Bedtime Drink you can Read By", "Hip-Hop Pop: A New Record by those Rascals of Pop" ect.), what about that GLORIOUS background? The sunset, the mountains, the houses, was it how they looked, THAT CAUSED IT TO BE TORN DOWN??? Now it's been replaced with an extremely poorly detailed background!
    Looking on the bright side though, at least the lovable BubbleHeads were kept!
    But what happened in 2005 must have been Chessington's WORST moment in HISTORY. John Wardley's retiring soon, but if anyone from Chessington WoA is reading this, not only me, but others are screaming this:
    BRING BACK PROFESSOR BURP, GOD DAMMIT!!!
    Professor Burp- Gone with the Wind R.I.P: 1990-2005...But he'll return...someday...somehow...he will...
