I would help out but being too far away means I wouldn't be there for every meet. I would be happy to be the TPM meet Midlands Division though

Put me down as a maybe, definitely going to have to try and come for your last hurrah!
-
This sounds dreadful imo... It will get the people in but there seems to be little thought gone into this attraction... Twister was amazing, loved the effects!
-
We were allowed to take pics, Lights were out in the tube but maintenance area was all there to see! I thought I took a photo of it but cannot find it, may have done it with my Go Pro. I'll have a look to see if I can find it
-
Just like Shrek's Adventure opening 5 years after the last film was released!
-
We just don't talk the ride investments! Zufari, Tomb Blaster's UV Rave Party Paint, I could go on. Don't get me wrong, I'm hoping this is brilliant, but CWOA's track record isn't exactly... smooth... Also what about the area? Retheme and just leave Vampire on it's own in Transylvania but no explanation why a vampire is hovering over the Gruffalo area? Or shoehorn in Gruffalo into the area?
-
Let's just say we don't have much hope... It may be initially great but Chessington proved with Bubbleworks they can't keep up with maintenance. Unless they go for a storybook feel where everything is just a cardboard cutout, in which case there is no hope for us at all and would never live up to it's predecessor
-
The realistic pigs! Let's not forget Momma Pig!
-
"A gruffalo? What's a gruffalo?" "A gruffalo! Why, didn't you know? He has knobbly knees, and turned-out toes, And a poisonous wart at the end of his nose." I'd love if Chessington were pulling our leg. Sending us down the path of the Gruffalo and it ends up being something completely different

I got a nice view through a gap in the train at a lot of the mechanics on press night as we were allowed to ride without headsets, was pretty cool!
-
Shame that sign isn't actually there
-
They have probably also completely wrecked the train... EDIT: In fact missed the photo at the top of the page, they have...
-
They use that building quite a bit, Molly Crowe used it too, for example. The building for HOM is Wobble World, In fact TowerStreet or TowersTimes posted some construction photos of the exterior. In regards to walking through scarezones to get to attractions, there is Dark Apocalypse which starts just after Sub Terra and ends at the Cannon, But you can get around that by walking past the arcade and down past Burger Kitchen. However is a bit of a diversion. Freak Out however looks like it is in the Adventure Zone area (with Spinball and... Spinball) So that may be the whole area meaning it is pretty much impossible to get to Spinball, however the maps can be pretty inaccurate

Halloween Scare Attractions Reviews Preview!
KingNemesis commented on JoshuaA's blog entry in Josh's Kinda Sexy Scare Attraction Blog
Out of all of the ones I have done, Xtreme is by far my favourite Halloween event! Especially the opening break out fun! VIDEO0112-2.mp4 -
There has been a video posted for House of Monsters! Love the movie trailer style:

It's hard to tell at the moment, hence why I said that I understand it's probably undecided / not completely confirmed hence why it was excluded out of the POV
-
I know all of that, but these roller coasters (arguably all) work a lot better ducking and diving around theming items and near misses. Especially during a mack coasters lovely bank left to bank right transitions, work brilliantly if you are dodging and diving around, my favorite element on a ride is cheetah hunt (I know it's Intamin) but this section just feels right weaving around the rocks! I am a big fan that ride elements need to fit and have some purpose, unlike something like say, The Smiler.
-
The only problem I have seen is theming, now I know it's completely undecided but I have always been a fan of telling a story whilst on the ride. I'll try to explain what I mean. Long and short of it, there needs to be near misses but can't see how they will be doing that. BPB are not amazing renowned for theming there coasters, they are not a theme park in my eyes really... But I'm happy to be proved wrong

Ah yes, it was. Looked at it rather hastily at work and thought I saw a few more digits! It was: £69,955. (And 40p)
-
Have had to pay £70 million of costs though EDIT: After looking at the number more carefully it was 70k Thanks Ryan for pointing it out

Short and simply, the technology didn't work with the idea, Due to the way the HTC Vive's work, They perform head tracking (positional and directional) using things called Light houses on the ceiling, (See diagram below) The way they perform the head tracking is by reflecting a beam from the lighthouse, to the Vive and back to the lighthouse allowing precise location tracking (as the vive can do room scaling so you can walk around the virtual world) Unfortunately windows and reflections go hand in hand and heard it was causing some problematic tracking issues causing the headsets to go a little bit... crazy! In regards to the yellow restraints, they just were not needed! Bonus!
