  1. I'm sure john would be willing to point you in the right direction and help you out. There is a video somewhere where he talks about the development of CWOA and the effect that had on the industry. Who better to get a clip from than the creator.
  2. I prefer the history and development idea. Certainly more jolly and as stated the parks will be much more willing to discuss their own history. Also you could have interviews on how past investments and developments have had an effect on the fans. Afterall no nemesis could mean no alton towers. Lots to go into with the history.
  3. An extra £50 wow that went up a bit. I was basing it off my last upgrade price of £20. I know they have to make premium more attractive but I feel there are better ways of doing it. Exclusive ride openings for an hour or two after the park closes. Hint Hint merlin.
  4. We should have seen the copyright thing for the name by now registered under merlin entertainments. That will be why we don't have a name. Its down to them being slow on the patent (or copyright thing, I'm not sure which one it is). Or we may never see the patent if merlin already hold the rights to the name they want. The fear of it being called oblivion is way too high.
  5. In honour of my awards I have no choice but to paint myself red, yellow and blue. I will put my best efforts towards not being banned in 2015 (sorry to disappoint) and I would just like to say that I'm going to do my best to ensure my post keep there mojo you all "love".
  6. Yes I am. Ever since it became a multiple tier system, ive hated them for it as its resulted in the park becoming worse. I used to pay for passes before that but year on year they raise the price and you get less and less for the pass. I will admit that a lot of the hate I throw at them is exaggerated however when it comes to devaluing the passes it really does annoy me, even if I haven't paid for one.
  7. I'm only intending on visting the park once more so I can use up my priority passes. Will not be buying lunch, I got my MAP from tesco vouchers last year, I'm not driving there and I wont be buying any drinks. Also my other reason for going is I dont want my last time at the park to be as bad as my final visit this year. I know it may sound odd that I'm refusing to visit but want to go one more time but its becuase I like the rides there and have been going for so many years. But in recent years the parks management has been in a nose dive and I'm fed up with them.
  8. I refuse to visit them anymore. They dont value their customers, they just squeeze as much money out of them as possible. They add charges so you either pay them each time you visit or just pay an upgrade fee so the charges go away. I sent a complaint to them 21 days ago with still no reply so I'm assuming I'm never getting one. Ive had enough of them. The only reason I will ever visit them again is so I can ride stealth and I will carry out that trip so merlin dont see a single penny.
  9. They have confirmed that the line up is swarm, stealth and angry birds land with more... So far there is still nothing that indicates this is an event and the £5 charge is still insulting.
  10. Monday's on average are the 3rd quitest day of the week (over the months sept to nov). However they can be annoying with 1 train operation also it will be march so cold and rather empty no matter what day you go.
  11. Yes pizza hut is defiantly going.
  12. Dive machines always seem wasted in my opinion. They used the smaller model for cost but the track is as if it was the full sized. They are always so sort and have very little to them.
  13. This isnt seriously called oblivion is it? Congratulations merlin you will now be know as six flags europe edition.
  14. Colossus (5) Depth Charge (5) Detonator (5) Loggers Leap (5) Nemesis Inferno (5) Rumba Rapids (1) Rush (5) Samurai (5) Saw: The Ride (6) Slammer (7) Stealth (6) The Swarm (5) Tidal Wave (5) Vortex (5) X (5) Rumba Rapids - Stealth +
  15. Less than half full or half empty? Ive never been to alton feb half term, its too far to go for just a few rides. It will be interesting to see if swarm and stealth open on 2 trains or just 1. If its 1 then the whole "event" could end up being pretty pointless as I doubt rush or slammer will be opening.
  16. Arh ok the people I was asking have lied to me. Although air does have 3 trains...
  17. They wouldn't be allowed to operate without full checks. Limited capacity is referring to the fact only a few rides is open but they keep saying very limited. Which raises questions of if that means 1 train op. Apparently Alton run 1 train op during feb half term so I would imagine thorpe are going to do the same.
  18. I do agree that one train op is not to sell fastrack, its just highly annoying to see the 2nd train sitting there with no one working on it. Most of the time it did seem to be down to not enough engineers available to add it at the time it should have been. 2 train op should be possible on the rides they are opening if they have changed around the schedules so it favours the rides they want to open first. However that would require them knowing the line up.
  19. It depends what they consider correct. I've seen swarm with a 100 minute queue on 1 train op with the 2nd train just sitting there waiting to be put on. I'm expecting about 2-40 minute queues at this "event". open from 10am - 5pm that isn't worth a penny. In fact if its free its still questionable. No matter how much I may like stealth and swarm a day of just those 2 in the cold doesn't sound amazingly appealing.
  20. I would expect the exact same quality but Thorpe do keep saying very limited capacity. Which is making me question if that means 1 train operation.
  21. Stealth should in theory have 2 trains ready. However everything else I don't know if they would have had enough time to do a full strip down. A swarm train strikes me as quite complicated and time consuming to do a full strip down.
  22. Summer nights is a intentionally reduced queue time.
  23. Yeah I know. Information failure is to blame for that one. If more people in the UK knew what parks are like just a few miles away Thorpe would get away with a lot less. Ill just be waiting until paramount park.
  24. There is only one other thing Thorpe could do now to make me even more angry with them. So at their current rate we will get a RNR announcement in the next few weeks. I didn't know it was possible for a company to damage their name so much over £5.
