Food Outlets
Ahh okay, when I was there all those years ago they didn't offer them on either - even with the proper tills! EDIT: The website still says excludes carts and stands, so don't expect it just take it as a treat if you do get it! http://www.legoland.co.uk/Plan/annualpass/Passholder-Perks/

Alton Towers General Discussion
It may have been opened on individual dates to cover for rides, unless the valley only ERT existed when air was around. Otherwise it hasn't been opened as it has issues. Thirteens a weird one to have open, as it needs a minimum of 18 people per train for them to use it. So a lot of waiting around at the beginning of the day. Duel was removed because it never opened on time, they struggle to get it open at 10 nowadays. Completely agree it's very bare though.

Air has never been listed on ERT, ever since it's opened it's not been on it.

Vampire
Vampire has some boss speakers, and they're on the lighting rig on the offload platform. As Mr Fish says, they're mainly on newer additions. Anything with decent sound systems (which weirdly includes seadragons - which just gets it all.. queue board and all).

Alton Towers Trip Reports
Looking forward to riding Hex.. nothing but good things have been said about it. They had Boss in to redo the entire audio system and bring it up to date, which have had certain aspects become much clearer (the witches curse has always been in the vault, just been muffled/quiet). Apparently they had a little bit more to do before march, so hopefully it'll pay off further. Want to go on park purely to ride that thing.

They don't need announcements. Literally. It's just an added "benefit" reminding people to brace themselves or whatever, incase injury occurs. Basically they do it in the name of H&S, of which does not need to exist because it's obvious. To further prove this: Spinball, when changing to sonic, replaced their "heads back, hold tight!" announcement to a plain and simple "Let's get spinning!". RMT at towers does the announcement purely for interaction.

Feedback of the Forums
When I try and edit a quote, it likes to delete the quote box and just leave text. This is irritating.

Track is planned to be fully up by end of next week.

My old towers purple one still works wonders. Current one really wouldn't.

Chessington General Discussion
They tell you what rides are open by the massive scrolling LED board at park entrance, and at each ticket booth. The parks are being bombarded by our annual pass guests.. and for some reason normal guests, yayay.

Guildford Meet - Saturday 16th February 2013
Lucky bastard! Why's she not on the forum, I was wondering why I haven't seen any posts by a husky!

Legoland
Windsor castle appears on map? Does this mean we get to enter it [/typical guest]

Chessington General Discussion
More than likely. It's also that this is a zoo day. I highly doubt many rides would be handed over ready for chessie anyway. For example, thorpe has only SAW handed back at the moment apparently. Towers doesn't have many rides over than it already has open.

Who is this husky person?!

The Smiler
It has to appear in the advert, at least. It's brilliant.

Chessington 2013
This is interesting! All they need is a bubbles refurb and they've got a new (or refreshed) land!

Rant
Celebrity culture bores the living daylights out of me. I do not give a toss about anyone basically, let alone someone who a lot of people have heard about. Hence why Madame Tussauds is one of the worst places to visit ever. Thank god for spirit of london ride.

Topspin, or not topspin?
It can run it on a better setting - but it lasts 90 seconds. That's literally the same length as rameses 2nd programme (well, it would be if rammy didn't take forever to do anything). Then everyone complains that it doesn't last. So they use the long settings which are almost as good (programme 8 ftw).
