I'd rather they went for a more tried and tested IP than some utter dross like IAC! If that's their way of being original...I'd prefer that they weren't! 

My imaginary contact at Merlin says that you've hit the nail on the head for the theme of WC16!

The page is still there but you're right it's not linked to on any oart of the main site, and it does indeed say it's running from 2nd Oct to 1st Nov.

Oh I hate people like that, they literally have no idea or consideration for those around them. We have a neighbour like that, I get that most people like music, and probably sing along at some point, but not at the top of your voice at 4am.

No, you've told me you call everyone honey boo, which I already know, rendering that useless information, which means I just wasted the three seconds it took me to click this post.

I don't find any of the coasters at Blackpool rough apart from Infusion on a bad day, it's all down to opinion though.

Yup, smooth as silk (mostly), Nemesis at AT is a bit extreme and Air gave me a bit of a sore neck after 15 rides, but I'd certainly go on a B&M before anything else, I don't find Colossus rough though strangely enough.

I love Swarm, second only to Nemesis in my book (very closely followed by Inferno).
Bite me.

It's a traffic light system isn't it? They put the 4 people who want to ride together onto it and it says yes or no.
It's not like it blurts out the persons weight across a tanoy...
As for the outrage at Peaj's comment, I think some of you need to read it again and actually understand what he wrote.
It's a good job some of you aren't old enough to have seen a Jim Davidson sketch if that's all it takes to offend you.

*glares at IAC*

I for one am glad there are scales, as it's these heavier people that are probably cause these stupid rules of maximum adults and allow worse throughput (although blame should be put on the bad ride hardware initially)... usually due to political correctness gone mad it's not fair to weigh 'obese' people as they don't like it!? it's unfair on us smaller people who want to ride together and can't. and this is the way I can see theme park rides going where they make larger restraints making the height and age limit higher just to suit large people as they're the ones who complain, when in probably most cases it's their fault they're that large.
 
Had this issue at alton towers waterpark where the master blaster is a 20 stone weight limit, but for the sake of not wanting to offend people they just say max 1 adult and 1 child; so if me and my mum or friend for example wanted to go on as we'd weigh under 20 stone together we're not allowed as they don't have scales to prove it; so we complained on the way out saying it's discriminating against us, they looked so shocked, but they really shouldn't, it's just people are usually too scared to speak up unless they're fat and offended.

Plus the stories make about as much sense as a chocolate fireguard.

And make everybody wear dayglow bibs to the point where the general public is now blind to them and take more notice of someone not wearing a bib than someone that is.
Plus making people put stupid signs everywhere like 'surface may be slipperly when it's raining'.
Well no **** Sherlock...

well with doctor whos viewing figures it may not be relevant for long. 

I don't see how walk on queues at 4:30 is a justification for the 45 minute queues during the day. The only excuse for one train operation is that one of them is broken. They are trying to save money because of a shocking year in attendance. While in sure most of that is because of the smiler I think that there is other issues which is putting people off. For example the shocking upkeep of the park, terrible operations and the fact they haven't added anything worth while to the park since the swarm.

One of ours was the same, the Mrs used to load up the washing machine but not run it until there was a full load, so we regularly had to fish Purdy out before starting the wash off, she loved going in there cos it was so warm.

I genuinely loved Chessington.  But it's hard to love and defend the park in its current state.

Step 1:  Rename "Chessington Resort" to "Chessington World of Disappointment featuring an alright Zoo and nice-looking hotels".
Step 2:  Sit back, have a cup of tea and revel in a job well done.

I'm assuming Saw Alive is not suitable for an 11 year old that wouldn't even go on the ride?
Not talking about my son here but his friend who came along on one of the Summer Nights with us, he wouldn't go on Saw with me but was bitterly disappointed that IAC and Saw Alive were closed..... he said he would lobby his clueless dad about going back.
Do I need to tip a wink to his dad about it?

To be fair, any company not employing that policy is doing it wrong.

I'm talking the legal process, not the morral one.

Thorpe/Merlin are the idiots really...
 
How come Smiler was such a success for Towers then, since that didn't have an IP?

He's an idiot then if they still think the low gate figures in 2012 was because The Swarm didn't have a household name IP.
