Parks, Rides And Coaster News
Coarr this'll be yet another decent and good ride for flamingoland, which I'll try my best to go visit and ride next season (knowing how much of a pain in the arse flamingoland is to get to!).Good on them really, and will be following this construction as it goes along, lets hope its gives the park a well deserved boost in attendance.

Saw- Construction Thread
Universal and disney rides support and advertise their own films, you nitwit, so yes it is sponsorship, considering the entire park isn't like that film companies thing. Disney is one huge advertisement. Universal is one huge advertisement.

Different words, same thing. I'm sure cussons collaberated with bubbles, tidal and flume. I'm sure fanta collaberated with thorpe park for fright nights again this year.At the end of the day, it promotes the brand, it gains it publicity which brings people out to go and watch the films, and therefore spending money. And whats better than having the ride NAMED after the brand, rather than having it related like.. AIR with minature heroes or such stuff. It's sponsorship.

I believe I said thorpe has reached a new low. Thorpe. Not chessington. Chessington entered their own low in 06.

Not the font in the posts, they're moohassive now. The text which says like The Mania Hub Forums > Extra Bits > Site News and Announcements > Thorpe Park Mania > Feedback is different and smaller, much smaller. Annoying crap. It was the same on the preview you sent me.

On-ride Photos
Think I prefer the older style for photos on vampire. Not warmed to the new template things that picsolve use.

It was their awards evening video. Chessington did the exact same thing a few years ago, also on youtube somewhere.

Show me a ride with or without totally utterly gory gruesome theming which requires it to have an age restriction? Stop being so annoyingly moronic all of you.

Thorpe Park Videos
Thorpe go effing mental about it due to previous incidents. Chessington quite frankly doesn't care much as long as its secure, I've seen many a person even been given their camera on the rides if they went to put it on the side

Alton Towers Trip Reports
Did you read the wonderful new notices around the rides stating to wave your YourDay wristband in the station so the black things pick them up. Otherwise it wont record you

Pirates 4D
He's worked 4/6 times I've visited this year. One time the skull head was removed, other time he was completely borked. He seems like a very complicated parrot!

Corkscrew
Shame, I've quite enjoyed corkscrew.. its never ever been painful for me. It's quite nice to ride, nice and retro. Will miss it!

Vampire
Erm.. vampire was on three trains from the last week of july, so the same time as last year. It got longer queues because the park was busier (over 10k most days, instead of the 8k we got last year)
