We'll get a spoilers topic up for you tomorrow Josh.

Yup yup yup. I think the last time there was this much engagement visually for a coaster was, ooh, either Oblivion or Air. Cannot wait.

Gott alove a bit of tangled up B&Mage. I never realised one of Shambhala's camelback hills was over Dragon Khan's lifthill. Can't wait to ride both this year.

Same. I love it. The audio makes it.

14% Bonus. Very happy Mark.

Lets put it this way, if its a load of rubbish, I'll happily take my iphone and listen to Raptor's music for the queue duration. Benin says Krake, but really, Raptor's music just screams wing-rider at me.

Well done for pointing out the obvious and an excellent use of elipses.And well done for also cutting out the rest of my post that gave the other reason why Chessington will keep Jumbos.In fact, did you even read past the first line of my post?

ROCK ON SWARM!

Thing is, you say its outdated but then the Jumbos are key important rides at all the Disney Magic Kingdom parks so there quite clearly is a draw there. The problem with Jumbos is something that lies through every Chessington ride. It just isn't looked after. Jumbos could look amazing, everytime they repaint the elephants, they look like new. But they've let the structure fade into a really dodgy green giving the ride this ancient looking edge.As for keeping it, well it is a popular ride. Throughput plays a part in it, but it is terrific for young kids and far more eventful then Sea Dragons or Carousel.

She was too busy preparing to release her 500th single.

Nah, it's totally at odds with everything else at Europa Park.. and I'm one of the ones that adores Silver Star.

Having been on Megaphobia (brilliant but can be a back breaker) and Coaster Express (Ouch, why do you hurt me so much on a straight drop), I can kind of understand the reluctance of theme parks to go down the woodie route. I wonder how many theme park managers eyes will be on Voodan this year. Afterall, Europa sets the standards in my opinion and if Voodan is as good as it looks then maybe, just maybe...

Henry and the Flying Kipper crash =(!

That looks really nice actually. Still feels slightly pained that we lost a rare Arrow swinger for it, but on the other hand as a concept this looks great. A lot of parks are going for the Expedition Everest type of ride at the moment. It's interesting that now the higher and faster fight is over, parks are now attempting to give multi sensory rides instead.Verbolten looks rather cool I must say.

It was one of those programmes that you could never do these days, showing the true consequences of death. When the hedgehogs get run over or when Adders mate gets killed by the rats. Traumatic show but brilliant.

That Rita turn around is the best part of the ride! ^_^It will go around that corner quite fast though, Raptor's similar looking turn into the break run really picked up a good amount of speed.

Just be greatful they are opening the park at all.

Me to. I'd pay over the top prices for all of it.

Marc needs to wear more coats. He is not wearing enough coats.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Uk's fifth B&M. And what a bloody stunner it is. The sound, the strange way the seat slowly turns through the inversions, that amazing feeling its going to be on the right hand side as you flip over, the theming.Hats off to Thorpe. Well and truely.

Katun.

Inferno was my personal favourite from the last ten years. No FROM THE PARK THAT BOUGHT YOU or pointless gimmicks just a theme and a B&M train hurtling into a cavern. Beautiful.
