Inferno will still be quiet though

Okay, finally had the time to read your report properly. The one thing I always get from these small parks is just how every single thing has 100% put into it. There's no thought about pleasing the share-holders or hitting records, it's all about the person riding it having a fantastic time. Fluch looks lovely, it's interesting how varied Gerstlauer Eurofighters seem to be on the finished products. I hate that bell ride though, it just looks hideously meccano like from every photo, 6 people?!

As long as it isn't Drayton Manor's no scream policy then yeah, definite PR stunt by the park.

I feel a bit insulted by this as you seem to be under the impression that I resent talented people. I don't, I resent the way X Factor is shoved down my throat every winter with what seems the bickering between the judges more important then whats going on, on stage.At the end of the day, yeah it probably is hard to get into the music industry. But if you really are talented then you either go through the proper way, working hard and breaking through or you become a one hit wonder and then forgotten about. Some kind of stardom that is..

Not to be to picky... but if you haven't been then you shouldn't really vote. I haven't been to Six Flags Magic Mountain so I could hardly vote in a topic asking what my favourite rollercoaster there is.

THIS REPORT DOES NOT DELIVER. Looks nice area actually, might emmigrate.

If they didn't on Colossus how exactly do you not ride if you're stuck in the seat?

They do check on Vortex now for some reason. Our H&S is so ridiculous sometimes..

I'm going to reply in three parts here.- Point 1, basically, I know that. However the show is made up of 95% talentless idiots who want 5 minutes of fame, not an interest in the music industry.- Point 2. So if you don't have modern tastes you won't win. How utterly ridiculous is that. Music is more then just the last two months.- Point 3. You list the successful two winners and two others from the last series. What about Steve Brockenstein, Shane Ward, Leon Jackson, Joe McElderry who have dissappeared of the face of the earth.- Point 4. Nice blanket statement there except not everones dream is in the entertainment industry, it's to get money and be adored. Not the same thing at all.

I really, really hate the X Factor. Get off my TV screen you talentless harpies.

No you weren't but the thing is, there were so many fan theories flying around that I chose to ignore them all and let the series do the talking. One theory was Rory is Amy's baby. I don't really know how that would have worked out to be honest.

Haha. Yeah same I really hated last season, but this one has been much more enjoyable to watch. I'm going to go back to Silence in the Library because A Good Man goes to War has changed the way I view River Song. Moffatt, seems to be the master of surprises and you really have to keep watching or you'll miss the smallest hint of whats happening.

You do Europa Park a great diservice by comparing it to Chessington, like comparing Tesco finest to Tesco value!I'd love to know what you thought of Euro-Mir Phill, thats always one of my Europa Park all-time faves.

Thats entirely up to you. Dark rides depend. Revenge of the Mummy is a rollercoaster, Duel is not for example.

:D Wishes, how I miss you

I wouldn't go to a park just to get a credit and I won't go wandering around clown coasters, big apple coasters and all the family coasters just to improve my coaster count.(I do know what my coaster count is though )

See for me, Inferno benefits from the music playing only at certain moments, not all the time. It's like modern day TV, everything is drenched in music trying to tell you what emotion you need to have. Inferno in it's first few years had the balance just right as the theme went and you felt the rumble off the train travelling below you. Now it's just another Thorpe ride with a soundtrack.

Last I heard it was open. To avoid the disappointment if it is closed, Topbuzz 2, an ultimately better run, more thrilling and better looking top-scan is currently in \Epsom this weekend.

Definitly would suit X..

Oh Europa Park, I adore and love and cherish your German charm. Lovely start to the report, isn't Colosseo just amazing. The reception roof is just so gorgeous.

Dragons Fury is a fantastic ride, absolutely brilliant and fun and the best spinning rollercoaster.But I rarely ride it becuase it's queue is ridicuously long because of its throughput. I will ride Everest over and over and over because it has an awesome experience coupled with a throughput that would make most Merlin rides faint. Throughput is important but obviously not the most important thing.Agreeing with what Sheepie said, at one point Nemesis was a gimmick and look how that turned out. Same with Oblivion and Air. Back in those days, Tussauds were so focused on the ride being a complete experience. Should have known once we saw that Air tunnel that things weren't the same anymore. What I would love is for a ride to have a gimmick that the ride doesn't focus all its attention on. Because, for instance with Thirteen, that drop is everything to the park and the rest of the ride is half baked and a bit meh.

Just passed his driving test.

I would love for Inferno to go back to 2003 days when the station was completely silent whilst it loaded and only when the train moves does the dispatch theme play. I feel that having music on in a loop and then having no dispatch music at all kills the atmosphere dead.
