I do wonder why the park even opens at this time of year.

Ah. now we're truely back in the old days of Tussauds. All we need is duel operator on Trucks/Carousel and Griffins/Sea Dragons and it will be 2007 all over again.

Nice. All it would need to do to better iSpeed is to have similar restraints to Skyrush and then it would be amazing.

Looks okay to me, probably because its bathed in light that it looks a bit dire.

Thats because he'll be dead.

MADDIE'S ALIVE?!?!

I was just using it to show that Merlin do theme their B&M's. Funny you say that actually, I was talking to Marc about this on facebook and we both said how unthemed it looks compared to the others.

Ignoring TPGG's ridiculous post for a second, I'm just pointing out to you Marc that I was actually kidding. The tounge in cheek nature of my post was just aimed at the fact that Gerstlauer seemed to have attained this reputation of being cheap, which they aren't. Yes they are cheaper then a B&M, but then Gerstlauer are more like Volkswagons in terms of the product. Besides, as rides like Storm Surge has proven, cheapness doesn't automatically mean there is a higher budget for theming.

I think you'd like Theme Park Review TPGG. May I suggest taking residency there..

True. You just DON'T get well themed rides if you buy B&M after all.

Thats why Disney is the king of theme parks. Just.. Wow.

So The Voice.. Loved how each round of the battles was exactly the same Couple sing Danny goes "they were both amazing, I'd choose one of them" Will.I.Am says "they were both like woah, I couldn't choose between them" Then Reggie says "I'd hate to be the one to make this decision but its now time to decide" And then Tom says "it's hard to choose between either of you but I'm going with Kelly" And then Jessie Jay pulls a face like Reapet 20 times ad nauseum.

Remember that time we prayed the rain would kill it. And then that first ride when the cars were all stopping. Those were the most beautiful of memories.

Celebrating a rare occassion where you get all five trucks with four people on them. The rarity, the glamour, the shock.

Lovely and fast now. Looking good Leviathon Thanks to Twitter.

Thats cause its the best ride innit.

My sides are splitting

And people have the nerve to say TPM is unwelcoming.

Genuinely feels like the end of an era there. Loved the Black Hole, so it was good of Alton to keeps its carcass there for 7 years.

Besides, even when the park do paint something, it's not as if anyone takes a blind bit of notice.

Oh Shhiiiiii.. on the Verbolten news. Hope the person involved in the incident makes a full recovery. X-Flight looks really cool with its covers. Looks like it's wearing shades.

It looks lovely. Can't wait to see Khan and Shambhala running together, gonna be an awesome sight.
