  1. Likes a rundown theme park called Chessington World Of Disappointments
  2. Chainsaws are ok if used to full effect, but with Big Flop it seems to be thrown in as they couldn't think of anything else for the finale. Also TBH I can't see how a chainsaw would fit in a maze themed to a ghost train?
  3. Please no. A chainsaw finale would be beyond cliché.. And Big Flop already has a chainsaw finale.

    Nice to see it open! But I seriously think its Slammer time to go to the graveyard. I go to Thorpe quite frequently and seeing Slammer in operation is very rare, plus it takes up a decent chunk of space. #RIPSlammer&Samurai
  5. Name everything Merlin has done wrong in the last 5 years.. That should take a hour or two..

    There lucky, they got a free coaster climb..

    My Top 5 Roller Coasters: 1. ShamBaela 2. Shambhala 3. Shambhala 4. Shambhala 5. Shambhala
  8. Some new trains with lap bars would be nice. Standup IMO will make a rough coaster even more uncomfortable..
  9. Incorrect, its Alton Towers's new B&M Giga
  10. I also found the targets to be be hard to shoot as well.. Plus I found the new blasters to be painful every time I would shoot.. The "spruce up" made the ride severely painful and unenjoyable IMO.
  11. G force is one that springs to mind, the restrains are awful. Other mentions would have to be Titan at SFOT and The Big One for being medicore hypers.. And Indiana Jones at DLP and Furius Baco also spring to mind for being awful Intamins..
  12. Honestly I thought the roaming actors were awful last year. Specially compared to Tulleys's roamers.. Tulleys's roamers are everywhere and offer fun banter. I really think Thorpe should introduce more fun roamers as currently they are just meh.. Overall I'm a little disapointed with the lineup, but hopefully they can improve the event this year.. The event needs serious Improvements. Fright Nights were a joke compared to Scarefest last year..
  13. RMC

    JoshuaA replied to pluk's topic in General Discussion
    Honestly I don't see Chessington getting planning permission for that unless they really get creative with the design.. Also space is another issue.. I honestly think Alton/Thorpe are most likely for a RMC but even that is a stretch.
  14. Stampida, I find it to be hell on earth.. And I'm the guy who likes Furius Baco and thinks its smooth..
  15. I have ridden a RMC in The New Texas Giant, and I gotta say, there so much better than they look.. NTG looks meh from POV but is a amazing ride. I wouldn't judge Wildfire by POV honestly, and if its anything like other RMC's it will be full of airtime and a fun ride.

    Honestly I'm not a fan for Containment being a year round attraction.. Even if its free it will be kinda boring after a year or so, at Fright Nights it was kinda meh honestly. Honestly I don't think it will be a successful year round attraction at all, at Fright Nights it was pretty dead on peak days..
  17. From what I remember its always been pretty rough, As other have said its all part of the Gerstlauer experience! And honestly it isn't like The Smiler's butter smooth..
  18. The Smiler's soundtrack is bae. I also like Euro-Mir's lift hill music, mainly due to its the only thing that makes the lift hill bearable..
  19. Its not being sour TBH. There isn't all that much to talk about as we don't much information yet as KingNemesis said.. Plus its just teasing, it isn't like were Merlin bashing.. They can always read the books... (There probably better than the film anyway)
  20. After riding the spruced up Tomb Blaster recently I was disappointed.. The new targets seemed to be hard to hit, and the guns felt painful to shoot a target. Yeah there was some things fixed and some redone sections which I like, but overall it was IMO kinda meh...
  21. JoshuaA replied to Cringle's topic in Nonsense
    Alton Towers Resort Furius Baco or Swarm?
  22. JoshuaA replied to EC!'s topic in Alton Towers
    Wooden Vekoma SLC for the win..
  23. Someone please change the topic name to "New for 2017"
  24. JoshuaA replied to Ellie's topic in The Real World
    I think Nemesis Inferno is better than Swarm..
  25. Demonioum was simply the worst ghost train I have ever done. 7 tokens is crazy for this thing, I wouldn't even pay 2 tokens for the utter bore of it. The whole thing felt too light, it was short, and the whole thing was full of sections with nothing going on.
