    this is just the chinese version of old mcdonalds farm aint it? *insert laughing emoji as I cant figure out how to*
  3. In fact winter wonderland showmen recieve 50% of all money made. This is why you see a lot of rides after WW usually have new improvements cause of that extra cash boost
  4. Is it true that stealth has to be white as its pushing the height limit and it has to be white to not stand out?
  5. I have no idea thats what he said on the show!
  6. its due to the fact that its the only big ride in that area. The organisers said they liked the ride but wanted to put it in a better spot so put it in a place where there was less big rides so it stood out more
  7. If my calculations are correct then AIR is making nearly three grand a day. And considering winter wonderland is on for 50 days thats good going since every weekend would be packed its making a heap of money. Dont forget it also costs money to run these rides I remember on fairground attractions Abie Danter (owner of air) said he was using enough power to run a small hosptial or town, thats how much air needs to be powered
  8. its not bad once youve been on it. I first went on it in 2012 and in august this year everytime I went on it I only rode on the front row. it's such a forceful ride
  9. Showtime might be in Hong Kong at the moment
  10. The people who are in charge of this event are naughty for lying saying there would be rides coming to this event from europe which had never been here before. If they are trying to claim Hyper Jet as one of them they cant as its been in this country since the start of the year and weve had a wild mouse in this country since before I was born! But it looks decent
  11. dude they run it like this at every fair if it gets busy. When it went to pype hayes(probably not spelt right) it had a MASSIVE queue that took up both payboxs and stretched out for most of the fair also the queue was on going till the end of the night. People go to fairs not to queue for hours like at a theme park but to go on an insane ride and expect to get on it within 5-15 minutes. If they run the ride for the usual length of time(3-4 minutes) you wont be putting the people through quick enough to make loads of money. Showmen need money to live. This is what people need to understand
  12. Song of the year : Chandlier by Sia. Very powerful song! Album of the year : Beyoncé - the re released version is amazing! 7/11 is my jam! Ride of the Year : John Bugg JNR's Altitude Booster! Such a good ride and when I had it to my self at stevenage it was flipping like mad! Tv show of the year : orange is the new black. I spent a whole three days in my room watching it. It is such a good show. A must watch (16 and over only as its quite raunchy!) And my favourite moment of 2014 was getting to meet my boy Sam Callahan for the first time and going on Altitude and also going on my first TPM meet and going to Adventure Island for the first time! cant wait for 2015!
  13. The hong kong world carnival is BACK ON!!!!! This is an amazing event which has rides from England, Germany, Holland, Belgum, and many more places! Heres a little teaser! https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=UU0Af4HVFQ0tHcpsghlqVFCQ&index=1&v=l93bdD2ME_A
  14. It's not a on ride photo but an on ride video! My first time on Furius Baco! I rode it 4 times that day yes I was saying lots of swear words through the inline roll as this was when going upside down and leaning on the safety bar scared me to death! http://youtu.be/Ubr32u33K4s
  15. Thorpe cant even run their rides properly in the sun so the cold would make it worse.... You see adventure island do a better job of maintaince compared to Thorpe (not slagging off thorpe its just the truth!)
  16. This should be a good meet! Can't wait for some of you to experience the Rock Rage if you havent been on it already
  17. sadly the owner of top buzz does not look after his ride well its sad that it had to come to that. The ridenrotting away in dubai at the moment so who knows what will happen to it in the future. Hopefully gets scrapped or sold to a decent showman
  18. why does everyone hate top spins?! The ones outside of the UK are actually decent! (The ones in germany and france that travel oh and also Talocan)
  19. How comes you cannot queue in the saw buliding? They make you wait outside for a while then they let a few people in and ive always wondered why they did it
  20. actually Power Tower is usually about €3-€5 in germany and gladiator about the same
  21. I dont film them for views I film them for memories for me but just happen to load them on youtube!
  22. just to say the one TPJames was talking about is in germany therefore it is very well looked after and checked everytime its built up. Russia lacks on their safety checks! Also I love the starflyer it is fun snd brings in tons of people!
  23. The funny thing is that the theme of storm surge is a funfair ride damaged by floods (ive heard that before am I right??) but actually a lot of funfair rides in the UK feel more well put together and look nicer than storm surge
  24. Yes I meant it's not cool but you get the kids who are 12 and think their channel is the bees knees! Thanks for the advice !
  25. You can add me to the list! What an awesome idea !
