Hilary. Trump would be a devastation. Bit like the UK then.

Your Sexuality
In a word yes. The more being LGBTQ+ is normalised (and I hate saying the word normal in this context), the more coming out will no longer need to be a thing that anyone will need to do. When Tom Daley had his video a few years back, that was a moment when suddenly a real influential, young role model was out in public and I think thats the moment when these videos became more and more popular. I think its a good thing personally because a lot of things straight people don't realise is that gay people are always coming out. Whether thats to their parents, work colleagues, new friends. It's a never ending process.

Park Count - 2016 Season

Phantasialand - the best THEME park in the world?
Phantasialand isn't the best theme park in the world as there are some areas that need serious work. However, it's well on its way to being that park. It just needs to jettison some of the weaker attractions such as the Chinese omnimover and the Hollywood tour ride. As it stands though, rides like Taron, Black Mamba and Chiapas are simply outstanding, the work they've done on River Quest has massively improved the area. Europa Park and Phantasialand though are some of Europes best. Lucky Germans

They aren't going to go to the Mail, lets face it. Maybe the Guardian and then the Mail will steal it for their online website, baiting there pig ignorant commentators like red to a bull.

Merlin Entertainments
Eww Costa. I loved it when it was Caffe Nero. Those were the days.

Force or Theming?
If you pushed me I'd say themed but I like both. I love a themed experience and I love an intense one. Rides like Tower of Terror are the perfect blend of thrill ride and narrative/theme.

Closed Rides
But thats been closed all season. If Slammer should go after two days of closure, Loggers should be well in the dustbin.

People Moaning About Safety
They either expect her to go back to her own country (BRITAIN FOR THE BRITISH) or blame Bulgarians and Polish for overwhelming our borders. You decide.

Ride Accidents
Several news outlets reporting that either four, two, one or no one has died on the rapids ride at Dreamworld Australia. A good example to anyone out there that news outlets are getting more and more guilty at posting any information regardless of accuracy now. Edit to add. Park has confirmed three people have died. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-37759162 Further Edit: Now confirmed at four dead.

Scarefest
I go to Hackney or Croydon when I want a well themed scare zone.

Bubbleworks
Cloud Cuckoo Land is an example. That area is bad. On the other Mutiny Bay is a much better area then Merrie England

Just A Boring Literature Thread.
I'm massively into dystopian narratives or our world but different. 1984 is a personal favourite.

Video Games.
The Wii U did fail but I still enjoyed the console immensely. Splatoon is my personal highlight and I'm hoping a sequel is now in the works for the Switch. I'm glad the Wii name is dead.

Favourite Ride No More!
The fact that the 2006-2016 Bubbleworks was utter rubbish suggests more then you may realise.

Bubbleworks
So people really are going to hold out hope to the last minute that it isn't the Gruffalo then. In spite of all the rumours and evidence suggesting it is definitely going to be Gruffalo themed. This could be a great ride you know, it could be a vast improvement on the last version of the Bubbleworks.

Favourite Ride No More!
If Tower of Terror in Florida gets puked on by Guardians of the Galaxy, then this could very well be a reality for me.

Legoland
I know what an E-ticket is guys, I don't understand why we're using it when referring to a Legoland ride where anything there is a D ticket at best . Onto the nature of comparing, I get it when referring to ride type, take comparing Inferno to Nemesis or Swarm to Raptor. But today I've already seen Derren Brown compared to Maus de Chocolat for example and the only thing they really share in common is being in a shed. Is Symbolica similar to this attraction in some way?
