  1. As long as the first drop is into a pool of needles! God that would be immense!!!!!!!!
  2. Which one?Saw, Saw 2, Saw 3, Saw 4 or Saw 5?It's basically 6 easy steps to remember your franchise. Make 5 mediocre films about torture, name a ride after it then wallah!, you are now a mini-Universal studios. So what sort of consequences will this have on the rest of Canada Creek? Will we have the:-"Rocky Horror Express" ?"I know what you did last Slammer" ?"Canada Creek Railway Massacre: Bear-hunt" ?"The Exorcism of Loggers Leap" ?"Buzz-sawurai" !I dread to think..
  3. Well done Thorpe. Not only have you made a ride that has completely uninterested me from start to finish, you've also based it on the most underwhelming and dull series of films in the history of cinema.Still, for those that thought Buzzsaw was a good choice of name, Saw is basically that..
  4. Well erm.. just other forums to be honest with you.
  5. Woah woah woah. Turquoise and red, out of place in Lost City?
  6. What an over bank turn!

  8. You guys just remind me of what a harsh world we live in. I'm nasty at times but I've definitly been relegated to Bronze position there. As for "Elle" I'll start with the cons first.1. The pre-lift section, a nice try at an Inferno type start. That works because it goes into a tunnel, yours doesn't and just seems to meander for a bit.2. The first drop and the track directly afterwards is again, a bit dull and as it takes a while to get to the first inversion it doesn't seem very "B&M" to me.3. Directly after the Vertical loop, theres a section of track where the train comes to a bit of a dead spot.. goes very slowly (kind of like Inferno actually)The Positives1. I like the inversion order. I also like how you haven't gone overboard with the inversions either and haven't used the same combination as other Inverters. An immelman turn (I believe) also works well after the inline.2. Nice colour scheme3. Nice surprise lay-out. Theres several moments where the ride goes where you don't expect it, such as the surprise wing-over.Nice attempt. RCT is more my field but thats a good effort.

    I'm not much of a fan of cocky attitudes.

    On the contrary, Corkscrew didn't have that much downtime at all (well apart from the two times that it stalled )

    If its not on the website, its open.

    I can think of ten other more recent rides that are rougher then Corkscrew. For a 28 year old ride it was pretty damn smooth - (not the word I'm looking for but well I can't think of a different one).. Crap, but nice for nostalgic reasons.

    Or they aren't allowed to due to court orders over sounds..

    How about he gets the presidency because of his policies and what he stands for, not because of his race or the colour of his skin. Britney. Managing to turn her life around. Considering the state she was in last year she is "kind" of a role model for anyone who has gone down the rocky road of life.Apple or Windows

    The last three posts demonstrate how out of touch I must be in the "thorpe park" world. I despise Rush and enjoy Vortex. Maybe I'm a theme park equivalent of "alternative"

    TrGeorge, Blue, let me introduce you to someone called gravity.

    But the point is, some people do brag about it and use it as a leg up over other people. Another point is if people really could be fired for sending out such music then why send it out at all if its really so invaluable. Inevitably the music DOES get out. Mentioning no names, over the past 4 years, people who do have exclusive music have sent it to me anyway but always add the tag line "don't send it to anyone else though." Which of course, some decide to send it to their friends meaning everyone has it anyway. The irony is, theme park music is never that good if you aren't next to the ride in question.

    Ah, but I have worked on Vampire so therefore have a valid point
  20. Mark9 replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    I work there and err.. yes it is
  21. Mark9 replied to Marc's topic in UK Attractions
    Just to take this off-topic for JUST a second, I totally agree with the consensus there. If you have music that is exclusive, great, oh what fun for you. Telling others then saying sorry can't send it out, makes you a complete jackarse.

    Put some recording equipment next to it and the answer would be yes.

    Nope, as Tommy said in the other topic, thats racist against the irish, the english and the scottish.
