    I'd imagine thats what they'll all look when they are dead, ie burning in hell.

    He was just an animatronic that spoke to you about sailing the seven seas. He was destroyed when his hut collapsed on him during heavy snow in I believe 2009. Sad times.

    I used to film and take photos on rides. I then realised how pointless it is because you are so focused on the camera and what its recording you ignore the forces and the ride itself. Besides, you just can't replicate the emotions on a ride in a 60 second video.
  5. Not so much my own website, rather my own blog. My latest one is on just how wonderful Nemesis at Alton Towers is.The Many musings of Mark9
  6. You must be so lucky then!I remember all the fuss about two train operation everyday it operated and then its first day of operation in 2006 it was on one train only...

    Philarmagic will come down on you like the plague for that blasphermy.
  8. That post was made three years ago.

    Playing Devils Advocate here. At least they are being honest and not just using you for sex..
  12. Inferno could (If I'm right) run three trains but it doesn't because it would mean a lot of stacking, hard work for the staff and a logistical nightmare. And not having a third train helps matters. . Lets be honest though, even on two trains this thing will have a very high throughput anyway and a third train will only create more problems for the staff particularly as Swarm isn't all that long.
  13. You could have used this quote for the 2005,. 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 seasons tbh.

    Everyday Ste, Everyday. People really wind me up to be honest sometimes.

    People that complain about having no money, but what little they do have they spend on rubbish..

    Someone tell Nicola Roberts to shut up please.

    3 months on, I've just left rehab from Disney.
  20. Do we really care which Intamin is worse then the other at the bottom though. As far as I'm concerned, they can both rot at the bottom while the Beemers shine at the top.
  21. Exactly how it should be as well
  22. Surprise B&MAnother B&M confirmed, this time at Canada's Wonderland. Are B&M having a sale or something at the moment?!

    Out of interest, what is No Way Outs throughput per hour?
  24. Off the top of my head I've got Tripsdrill, Parc Asterix, Klotten, Rainbow Magicland, Liseberg, Tussenfryd and Phantasialand. There's countless others though. The point is someones putting in the effort. Whether Raptor and Swarm are exactly the same is neither here nor there. You could even argue it's the same tactic as Oblivion but that doesn't take away from what a great idea it is. With the first three, its all subjective the rides quality. I like Air and Stealth whereas Rita I have little interest in. Some may like all three or like you, hate all three. TP white elephant, interesting because even on its quiet years it seems to always be busy. I can remember days in 2004/2005 where it was literally just me on a Colossus train whereas now that would never happen. Seems quite stable to me, compared to Alton and Chessington anyway. As I said, I hope one day Tussauds are remembered for the great rather then the terrible. It's interesting you bring up Vampire because if Tussauds hadn't done anything, the rides removal would have been more likely. Old Vampire was a reliability nightmare.
