I didn't find that ending scene that emotional. I've seen it hundreds of times in other drama for example. I think my main issue is its being sold as a musical but those elements don't go beyond a great opening number for me. It may be sacrilege to say, I found Moana far more engaging as a story, as a musical and an emotional piece of film.

Soon GP's will be able to do your teeth for you. They won't ever stop working. They'll do it for you.

Yay, welcome back Hex. Sorely missed.

It's okay.. it's nothing special though. It's more a rom-com in Musical clothing. The moment he returned with a special meal being cooked, I knew the big argument scene was coming.

Chiapas I'm such a sucker for Polynesian/Aztec/Hawaiian sounds though.

Yuck. So gloomy and beige.

Ridiculous. Not good enough. Who do they think they are, Alton Towers?!

Is the waterpark having some kind of refurbishment towards the end of the season? Or are the hours just not on the website yet?

It's the Gruffalo isn't it.

What is the one little thing it's missing?

Could you argue that Oblivion: Black Hole was there last big coaster or do we only care what Merlin do in the UK these days? Agreed with Ian though, in-between their coasters (which I think are excellent additions personally), Merlin just don't seem to know what they're doing. The budgets they set (or the money the park spends) don't match up to whatever they are attempting to do.

Thanks to Theme UK for the sign. Loving the queue time board also

I wonder how much of the attention it gathers will be because of the new attraction itself and not because it's what replaced Bubbleworks. After all, Bubbleworks is the only ride at Chessington to get two goodbye events, the best Samurai got was a sign and Rodeo was left to rot for 9 months.

In the past four years both Nemesis and Oblivion have been repainted. Not bad for a company that doesn't give a damn.. All that picture TLC tells me is that rainbow stairs age quickly.

Thats an easy one, people still visit. How many members of TPM for instance, repeatedly slate the parks and yet still visit every other week.

Great trip reports as always BenC, whenever I read your reports, I always get insprired to go to a park, Darien Lake has never been on my radar but, its certainly of interest now. To the Intamin hyper thing, maybe the spate of incidents back in the noughties created a bad atmosphere around the ride type. Could only be a coincidence though. B&M hypers have never had trouble selling, as you know some parks love them so much they build bigger ones..It is a shame Intamins kind of stopped, whilst I never really felt the love for Ge Force, Piraten is such a joy to ride.

The worst decision Disney have ever made. Selling out a classic attraction for a flash in the pan Marvel film. Massively disappointed. Still angers me, five/six months later.

4/10. Photos would be improved if I could see every shed, the second to last photo with one next to Rip,Ride, Rockit is beautiful.

Bugger off with your worlds first crap and just make it the best it could possibly be.

I feel like VR is fine if you aren't forced to use it which really is a big problem for me. I loved it on Alpen Express as an add-on but hate it on Galatica. Haven't done Derren Brown so couldn't comment but from the two I've done, its a novelty and nothing more.

I'm one of those that loves Medusa. I'd heard so much negativity about it that it made me sympathetic to it.

In 2010, Beckhams's charity work with Save the Children earned her a nomination for the Do Something With Style Award, an awards show, produced by VH1. She is a patron of the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Beckham promotes faux/synthetic furs. Her stand against the fur industry generated praise from animal rights organisations, including PETA. Beckham has stated that she is "supportive of its [PETA's] high-profile anti-fur campaigns," and pledged "never to work with fur in any of her own fashion collections". Merry Christmas.

Shed/10.

Everyone being brutally murdered not emotional? Darth Vader mowing down troops relentlessly and effortlessly as desperate rebels scramble through a corridor to get the Death Star plans to Leia? Sightly depressing yes but no emotional scenes? I don't agree.
