2017
in The Future
18 hours ago, Josh3103 said:I think in 2017 we will see the removal of Slammer and Colossus and the reopening of Loggers Leap
Is this a joke? Colossus won't be removed for another decade at the very least, it's a previous world record breaker and gets long queues virtually every day.
And Loggers Leap is pretty much dead now, I think we all need to let it go.

So if the same kind of incident were to happen at somewhere like Thorpe the people would not have been as badly injured? Is the conveyor different there?
Very awful accident, a miracle that the two children managed to survive but horrible that they had to watch family die.
-
My mum had to be asked to get off of Colossus once, you don't see her running to the press.
If she wants to go on it, come back and wear a sports bra or something. They do well in minimising chest size.

What fight?
If we're meaning a fight that happened in the Blair Witch queue on Friday, my friends saw it happen. Apparently all the temporary queue fences were being shoved about and a man started strangling a girl. I joined my mates as the staff were moving the fences back. Most likely they were escorted off park.
-
Much, much, better atmosphere than last year.
As it was a Friday, the queues were not too atrocious and I only heard about one fight (Blair witch queue)
Only got on three mazes but that was because there was a large amount of faff from my friends.
Big Top: a much better maze than 2015. Got lost in the first section. Loved the touches like the old rangers in one room!
Platform 15: surprisingly quick queue. My friend thought the tour guide actor was part of our group for a bit. Beautiful scenery, brought back memories of when I was little on that train. Ending section, though boring, was a little disorienting and it was funny to hear all of us making stupid noises in pitch darkness.
Blair Witch: not very good, made better by my group singing All Star and the group behind joining in.

I went on this the other day, and to be honest I really enjoyed it. I'm too easily pleased. For me, Virtual Reality is one of the coolest things, both with This attraction and Galactica, however 'cheap' the graphics were. I know a lot of enthusiasts were disappointed but I loved it. But no, it wasn't scary.

Rumours at school today of a lockdown happening; apparently someone made an Instagram page about a killer clown coming to our school, and they wanted to find the owner of it. The lockdown was just for absolute safety. The sixth form allegedly had an assembly where they had their phones out and a teacher DM'ed the account. Whoever got a notification was the page owner. However that is a vastly flawed pan and no one was caught. There never even was a lockdown today.

It's giving that poor Northampton Clown from a few years ago a bad name, tut tut.
But in all honesty, this is getting out of hand. Probably started off in some kind of deep web forum, as some kind of creepy pact? And since that's happened a lot of silly people have taken it upon themselves to buy a cheap clown mask and scare the sh*t out of their neighbours.
There's supposedly one near me, but I'm 99% sure it's someone having a laugh.

The Bubbleworks retheme will be the main investment. Tbh I'll be surprised if they advertise the new carousel at all, apart from obviously the odd mention on Twitter. Its basically just moving it and giving it a new centrepiece.
Knowing Chessie, and Merlin, they'll advertise it as much as possible.

I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with family at the end of August, not a bad musical but definitely not the best one I have seen.
I've seen a few musicals up at the West End, as I'm fond of the performing arts.
My favourite has got to be Phantom of the Opera; you can't beat it. Also high up are the Lion King, Memphis and War Horse.
I'm in Annie at the Theatre Royal Windsor at the end of the month, as a supporting cast member (a step up from being in the chorus). It's only an amateur production, but performing there is going to be fun!

Donald Trump's House of Horror.
You must escape from Donald Trump's house, but clones of him are hidden in every room. One room will contain the real thing!
Can you escape in enough time and stop his secret plan to win the election?
That could be very creepy indeed, the storyline could be about being killed by trump and made into the Great Wall that will run across the border.
Everything could be covered in gold chrome like his buildings and queueline announcements could be worded in his garbled, poorly worded speech.

I would love to watch The Girl with all the Gifts, as I have a somewhat connection to the film.
Around March last year, every girl at my film class was given the opportunity to audition for the main character, however I was a greasy ginger 12 year old with braces, so they probably didn't look twice at me. They probably interviewed thousands of people about it but I still see it as my first chance at being in a film (now I've realised I'm a crap actor and have turned to behind the scenes stuff)

Molly Crowe was a maze where you were blindfolded and could not see(I think).
So, taking the idea of depriving you of one of your senses, what about a maze where you are totally unable to hear?
You could be given ear plugs, or headphones, really effective ones, and you walk through a maze that has really visual scenes, with lots of grotesque and interesting smells, perhaps sweat, or blood (I really hate that smell), or even ordinary smells, but made really strong. I would have no idea what it's themed on exactly, but would be a fun thing to trial. You could even have technology (if you were wearing sound cancelling headphones) that starts playing disturbing noises towards the end of the experience. -
Around half an hour by car, depends on the traffic.

They should please the retro fans and rebrand this as Space Station Zero
Of all the rides they could rebrand to what they were before, Space Station Zero should be low on their list. It wasn't as particularly well known or popular ride anyway, and Merlin won't even bother making older rides better anymore (just look at Bubbleworks and loggers).
p.s SSZ wasn't a previous incarnation of X.
It's currently the Flying Fish.

Do you think (and this is sort of related to the discussion before) I could handle it as a 13 year old with aspergers (meaning I am easily scared/distressed)
My aspergers brother did Haunting In the Hollows, which I remember being a fair bit more severe than curse, when he had just turned 9.
He found it a little bit scary, but that's the fun in it! But of course every case is different so it's entirely up to you to judge. You've never done anything of the sort before, so you could really enjoy it!

Yeah, Mysterio Ka, you didn't need to add the comment about autism. Not something to be mocked in any way. Not funny.
Anyway, bye to Bubbleworks, I will cherish my memories, thank you, yada yada

Plus a fizzy drink factory/ duck farm doesn't exactly fit in with Transylvania either... In fact, the Gruffalo is set in a forest, so you could say it fits better...

The Gruffalo? Is that IP still popular, I feel like it's so 6 years ago. Why can't anyone just build a half decent haunted house anymore?!
I do feel the IP is still popular! The books are still being sold, the film is shown every year at Christmas, Every British kid born after 2000 probably my owned an edition, I can practically recite the entire thing!
The Gruffalo is not what we wanted or needed but could be a lovely family attraction with some great theming (I'm thinking similar to Scruffydog's theming for IAC but less jungly and more foresty)
Plus animatronics for the characters (please not screens)
But ONLY if Chessington can be bothered.
Which Probably won't happen. They'll photocopy a fleabitten old copy of the book and paste it on the walls everywhere and get a monotone woman to read it out over the speakers.
