Anyone got the new Canada Creek playlist handy?

Thats much more refined from S&S. The Lap bars should improve the experience and the 8 person car will significantly increase the throughput. Nice one S&S

My God ha! Although I can understand the sponsorship on this ride as there is NO theming so it doesn't really matter.

Is that Magic Mountain at Gardaland?

It was a good maze, but was poor towards the end as the lighting was to bright. Also there were never enough actors. If these issues were fixed, would be great.

I agree that Chelsea's start to the season has been completely overshadowed. However I cannot believe that you will challenge for the title this year with both City and United playing so well. QPR are on the other hand are real contenders... CMON YOU R'S

Yum. Girl on the left of Feb :D However there are some dogs... like the girl on the right of feb.

I'm a bit confused to be honest... I wouldn't of thought it was a 10-5 seeing as most people would come down after school/college/work for a 8pm or 10pm close?

There is pretty much nothing going on. Vertical Construction has just about started with the outline of the station JUST about visible. No biggie. Here are some pictures anyway...

I'll take some snaps of construction tommorow....

It always amazes me how small the tents look on the outside but how large they are inside. Its like the tents on Harry Potter...

Wow the site looks exactly the same as it did a month ago. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Meh, I have not been on enough of both to compare really so it would be foolish for me to comment further.

Let's face it though, it's not the best comparison between manufacturers. The B&M's at Alton are some of the best they have made whilst the Intamin's are pretty dissapointing for their standards...

To be honest it was probbably fixed that Thirteen wouldn't lose, after all it would be embarrassing for the park.

Totally agree about Charlie, what a waste of money...Great report though Josh, much enjoyed.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion...

But they were world first prototypes. This isn't. Raptor had a pretty smooth opening anyway so I hear...

VERY unlikely, but still possible. I wouldn't completely rule it out...

I reckon the flume will be replaced with an amazingly themed Intamin Aquatrax...

After allot of reasearch and deliberation I haved decided that this camera (FS35) : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-Lumix-FS35-Digital-Camera/dp/B004I1KP5C/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1313956933&sr=1-1 Will be a good replacement for the old TZ8. It has 8x instead of 12x zoom but more megapixels and the same high level of 720p video quality. I also pondered upon the TZ20 which is a whoping 210 pounds but has a 16x zoom, 1080p HD movies and 3D photos. What do you guys think?

Not jealous at all...

I hope it's Intamin.Hopefully not another B&M wingrider.
