yeah

Yes they do... The ride was advertised as closed. So why should hotel guests get to go on it first? Hotel guests get enough priorities, riding the new ride first should never be one of those.

Flamingo Land sponsor two Championship football teams, both of which got promoted! (Hull and Burnley)

Speaking of - New soundtrack in that area. Personally, I feel it was wayyy too dark for that particular area - it was good, but it'd fit Gloomy Wood better at Alton.

Whereas its good because it means it'll open soon, I totally agree, even if I have no plans to ride if it's scary...

Dino Safari is officially no more... second picture is so sad

So you all know of my love for Vampy, but these unfortunately pretty much died out with Arrow. The reason I'm making this topic is that designing rollercoasters is my dream job, and I think I may have come up with a way inversions could work on these (however, I'm probably wrong, so correct me if I am). Basically, I think a long inline twist could work on a swinging coaster, as the swinging would probably work in your favour (if I got the physics right) at the right speed (not too fast, not too slow). There wouldn't be too much swinging during the inversion, however a bit after. Could this work? Please let me know. We don't do Arrow Suspended Coasters in physics lol.

Really wanted to watch the game (and every other class did watch the game) but my Chemistry teacher didn't let us. Found out about Bale's goal when she let us film an experiment and a kid got a notification, found out about Vardy's goal thanks to my mum when she picked me up (cba to walk on that day) and saw Studge's goal.

Sorry, misunderstood.

The thing is though, considering @Insidersaid he does not work for Merlin not long ago, he'd have no way of knowing unless Thorpe went out of their way to tell him (which... they didnt)

I predicted it.

Because that worked perfectly last time a park tried it

What are you doing? Does pretending to know the secret for a theme park ride make you feel above everyone else?

Where?

Hasn't @Owen just asked if we could stop arguing? It's really quite annoying alot of people.

And on Vampire and Fury

Whats a surprise? @StevenVig wasn't slightly involved earlier. Someone has an opinion, shock horror.

DERREN BROWN IS EVERYWHERE. HE'S IN THE KITCHEN. HE'S IN THE LOUNGE. HE'S IN YOUR BEDROOM. HE'S IN YOUR BATHROOM. HE'S IN THAT TESCO DOWN THE ROAD. HE'S AT ALTON TOWERS. HE'S AT ALTON CASTLE. HE'S AT THORPE PARK. HE'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU. DERREN BROWN IS EVERYWHERE.

We are in the Alton Towers topic

Ah great - I do have the RAP but with that comes the great hatred of large crowds.

I dont really like the sudden pauses, or typical epic theme, or the fact that it sounds like a halloween theme. To be fair though I might like it a bit better if it didnt replace one of the best pieces of music on park.

(Last post sorry) @Insider No matter how hypocritical I'm being, I do agree with your points. I think you just couldve phrased them nicer. @Tom I think the Flume and Ripsaw is the wrong example. Ripsaw has been ripped apart (pun intended), and Flume is being taken apart as we speak (I think?), whereas Sub Terra and co are just sort of sitting there. @Marc To back this up, we all love the theming, whereas my friend simply doesnt care, he says he only likes "big theming" such as Swarm's.

How is the park right at the end of July?

Destroy every fence?

True. Edited my post.
