  1. The thing is it gets to the point that you ridicule and criticize parks so much that we can't tell when you are being serious or not as you're such a dampener to what was left of a positive vibe on many pages of threads.

    Jobs..

    I got work experience with AECOM, which is an architecture firm for some veeery big theme parks (they helped design alot of disney parks, and universal parks). So hyped.
  3. Pendulum are dormant right now but omg if they performed I will go and I will cry.
  4. Yaaas. If not I will go with you ryan and we can jump around at the back with some hot choclety milk.
  5. sigma gonna be maaaad... Evry body get down low low low low...
  6. From an interview at a different merlin park I believe it was 1 in 4 at the interview got the job. I'm unsure about thorpe though.
  7. I'm not sure if that's 100% true, but if they ever did exist and were removed it's probably so that the ride could be even more family friendly and be open to a wide audience. Which in the long term is probably for the better as it's on of the rides in the park the whole family can truly enjoy together.
  8. I think a lot of the still figures you saw there will be replaced with live actors? I went to the old town hall (where all the london merlin midway attractions are par tussauds) and they said they were still building alot of it. It's fascinating though because some of the upstairs areas of the building have been completely blocked off. Now the only part of any of the attractions I was aware of having multi stories (going up the building rather then just having a deep basement) was part of the aquarium. Possibly some stairs, or a multi storey part then?
  9. capacity has got to be under 300 an hour. 12 people on a 2 minute 30 cycle plus a minute for loading... you're gonna be lucky to get more then 250 people on an hour.
  10. I thought that was really good too James. I just think it's a shame people can't go the extra mile some times and make their own templates for text snippets like that. Anywho great use of clips and music, a very well made trailer me thinks!
  11. Someone said there seems to be a slight lack of things to do for now? I guess if you're just seeking thrills, then yes, there is, however Plopsa have got a brand new uber cool viking themed water park.
  12. Off peak simply means 'demand is less'. Some schools still don't go back until wednesday but some park figures have halved since the weekend before last, so in comparison it could still be determined as off peak. It is unfortunate that rides don't always increase capacity but it can be down to a numerous amount of circumstances, whether these are obvious or not is (obviously) not always clear. But at least most of the queues were within reason, it's good to hear that especially seeing as there will still be crowds there until mid week.
  13. There's perfectly justifiable reasons behind most of these. Come on, all it takes is discussion. Stop sitting behind your computer screen digitally pointing and moaning and try to undertsand why these things happen. It's off peak, and most rides added capacity upon demand. That's perfectly normal and acceptable.
  14. Rita is best ride. The only thing you can call a pile of junk is a pile of junk, Rita is a glorious coaster.
  15. MTDPs can still be changed. Many of these are just guestimates as to what the developments will be.
  16. If someone can make me a circularish logo that says TPM in that sort of style ^ I'd really appreciate it so I can get cracking on my drawing.
  17. They've been able to customise it, such as for the forbiddens journey track which appears to be much more like an Arrow/togo track then their huge tri spine track.
  18. How long do I get to draw this? Because if this is going to take as long as my hansa project you could be waiting a while (if you at all choose mine)
  19. Really like the bottom one. I'll see if I can throw one together.

    Wicker Man

    Can definitely picture an RMC. I think it'd work really well.
  21. fascinating lack of inversions. I love how so far all the overhangs have been bunched into a ball of steel chaos. Looks fabulous. As for the music, personally not sure if the new nighthawk soundtrack is at all suited or necessary for the ride, but really liking the new soundtrack for talocan. works just as well, or better then the narnia one, and it feels a lot more complete now everything it uses is original and pretty unique. Hopefully gonna visit this later this year.
  22. On the first page of that animatronic companies theme park portfolio you can see a shipping container. My bet is they will be a likely choice for merlin mah booiiiii
