yeah

I thought you meant the actual tiger shaped rock, not the name!

Yes that was always in the plans.

That's not what I'm saying - obviously Merlin are nowhere near perfect. But I would say there are one or two users on here who have a proper agenda against Merlin

Well I never used the 3D glasses anyway, so doesn't affect me Calm down you lot, we're about a month away from the end of the season, they'll be back by next year.

Really? Of all the people you can call out for having an agenda against Merlin you choose @Project LC?

Galleon and Rameses I'm pretty sure are closed on off-peak days.

I do think it's a good ride, much better than expected, and it's good that Merlin are keeping on top of it (for now). I also think they've improved it in terms of it being too scary for kids. I haven't, however, heard one non enthusiast say it's better than Bubbleworks. There was one little kid, in a Gruffalo shirt no less, under the Transylvania arch who got really excited, and yelled "Yay Bubbleworks!". His mum said "No, it's not Bubbleworks anymore, this is the Gruffalo ride!" And the kid got so sad they didn't end up going on.

That makes much more sense haha

I'd say there's an incredibly strong chance Toadies will last until the end of the year. After that, who knows. I personally think it'll stay for next year too. EDIT Oh, and Peeking will probably be scrapped thank god.

I searched it up and it was indeed Detonator that replaced it, and it happened in 2000. But Vortex? Isn't that the opposite side of the park to Detty? Was the Haunt building bigger than I thought?

There was a fire in the early 2000s, might have been 2003 I think? Anyway, it destroyed an entire dark ride (Wicked Witches' Haunt) and a dark section of a ride next door. Ironically, I think it was replaced by Nemesis Inferno. Could be wrong on that though. Just a piece of advice for the future, it might have been a better idea to post this in the Quick Questions section of the forum.

Isn't there something to do with the lake bed not being strong enough to support a coaster?

The Creepy Caves entrance doesn't look anywhere near finished to me. Plus, from what's been released so far it fits the theme really well. Will it be as good as this? Probably not. But at least reserve your judgement until it's complete and open.

I cba with football.

I heard a family at Chessington looking for Derren Brown's Ghost Train. Well mate, you want to get in the car, head down the M25 a bit...

Chessington have been slowly making improvements to what appears to be the entrance for Creepy Caves, and this is what it's currently looking like: I understand this doesn't look great, but there's a bit more theming behind that fence (some tanks and stuff), some lighting and behind the gate is some green lighting on what looks to be a big spider web. There's also some sound effects (zombie growls and something in a bush) and smoke!

Do you have a Merlin pass? If so, ask to go to the Merlin car park at Explorer gate. It's free, it's right next to the entrance, it's gravel instead of grass and you get your own bag check so you don't have to queue forever. I've entered at about 9:45 and been let through with no holding point that I saw. It's quite a walk from one to the other so I would suggest maybe getting there at about twenty to, to give yourself some time to walk over to Trail of the Kings. I may be wrong though and there may be a holding point somewhere. If you don't have a MAP I'd say just go lodge.

Apparently the plans have been approved without the drop feature?

I'm speechless. How do you sell the best player in the history of your club and your only two fit defenders who aren't terrible all to the same club in your league in the space of twenty four hours? Jota and Maxime Colin are snakes. Hiss.

Can't believe I stayed up until 4:30AM just to see us get Norwich at home @CharlieN Seriously though, I'm disappointed. Another Championship team at home is about the only thing I didn't want.

I'll wait til the next one to judge whether they fake or what they mean.

This is getting interesting now. Alton Towers released this video earlier today, and ignoring the awful Elliot Crawford, it looks like it could contain some clues to this ride. Here's a spreadsheet put together by someone in the comments containing all of the "clues" in this video, however, some are quite vague: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aN-F-FmjYCSdEAfrUg_gzx9K0tX3Ak6S0QQUWQJn3G8/edit?pageId=108797669237932663241#gid=0 The static in the outro translates to Be Chosen, http://imgur.com/a/h9dVL and people have also been able to decipher all of the symbols Towers have been using, the only letter missing are X, Y and Z. One thing the commenter above did miss, is the bizarre picture of someone standing in some bushes. There could also be a code of some sort in the bookcase before Jules walks past it.

The championship is upside dooownn we're going up with the Millwall the championship is upside dooownn 4-1 in your own back yard: Shepherd's Bush edition

This might not be the entrance. If it is, I doubt that's it.

You can sort of see it here. Yeah it's cheap, and quite easy, but it's better than this. I see no problem with it at all. EDIT Plus it looks like those trees have been trimmed, and isn't there a back of house area over there as well as the road? Maybe you could see through and they wanted to cover it up.
