  1. 32a from Hanley Bus station. Every bus going from the train station side of the road goes to the bus station, there's one every 5mins or so apart from Sundays when they're less frequent. If you get on a First bus they're £5 for unlimited travel that day. It's just timings for the 32a you need to worry about. First do an X39 over summer and hopefully other holidays this year also though.

    Samurai is to do with weighting as you say - 15 people allow it to move under it's own weight to the platform to allow evac should there be complete failure. Rameses is completely different. It had absolutely nothing to do with weight or ride running, I've got many years experience working with top spins, so know it's not to do with that.

    I thought it was a case that it had cracked.. that they'd repaired this but they don't want it ever happening again?

    Wonder how much a couple of new trains would cost. If a decentish price might be worth it as it'd be quite marketable!
  5. I think he was pointing out that more Imperial Leather branding has gone. The ride was still literally littered with it last year (no matter how much fanboys somehow claim it wasn't - it was.)
  6. Have to say, Market Square and some other improvements actually look incredibly bloody good. Want to see these in person, I bet there's a great atmosphere there now particularly on a good summers day!

    15 people will be absolutely nothing to do with weight restrictions, so I imagine it's just staff wanting to take their time.
  8. You're so boring, I was clearly really enjoying the ever more pixelated enlarged photos we were getting. Was hoping for more

    That's not all rides, that's a pretty solid part of the ride line-up!
  10. I don't think that image is big enough. You need to make it larger again.

    The old one would be removed, and the new one is in the same location plus enchanted forest plus the top level being opened up again (Rat Trap has been running on only 2 of its 3 floors and with only one of it's original... four?... slides open for years now). It'd be quite good tbf.

    It's Pirate Landing's new name. The play area is called Castaway Camp.
  13. Fred replied to NickD's topic in UK Attractions
    Tbf, Pirate Shores is open. Burger Kitchen opens in May and is a restuarant, and the play area wasn't meant to be going ahead when they made the packs.

    The local council for lego is far more lenient than Chessington's.. it's evident because lego actually gets stuff built.

    Roof collapsed. Dunno why they got rid of BBQ for BK though.. that'd be down to merlin I imagine.
  16. Fred replied to NickD's topic in UK Attractions
    The play area only recently got planning permission (was originally denied) so will open in May along with Burger Kitchen.

    Gold pipes for towers? Christ you're so 2009. It's signs. Signs. Signs. Signs on sexy wallpaper. Their AP method is extremely interesting and think it'd work massively for them. That's quite exciting really.

    Calm down, Daily Mail.
  19. Fred replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    I swear the only reason it doesn't play is because the system broke, maybe they lost or misplaced the file when they updated the audio system. I highly highly highly doubt they'd remove when it's essentially vampire station with slightly more sound effects. It was never played so loudly to make it obvious anyway, it was always subtle!
  20. Fred replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    The exterior audio system broke in 2009, it was still working in 08 quite clearly. I believe they fixed it a year or so ago? If audio plays outside? Dunno if they've got anything but should be this anyway its so atmospheric and it's vampire anyway (Saying that, I'm only just downloading the track )
  21. The lodges are intended to be the higher end pricing, they'll all be more expensive than ATH.
  22. Fred replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    Ooh, I like this! I hope it's another animal talking preshow. They're good at those.

    I think everyone fancies the **** out of those two princesses. I'm definitely an Anna fan!

    Errrrrrmmm excuse me? Better than TECK NICK KAL difficultiiiieeeeesss as he says now.
  25. Pleasure beach, and Drayton Manor, have had loads done to make the parks far more pleasing to be in. Paultons looks like it's done the same as well, though I've not visited it. And then we have mingo.. maybe we should all direct our hatred to mingo.
