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?

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
I haven't even been on DBGT and could still say this 'comparison' is meaningless. They are two rides attempting very different things and aren't really comparable. The only thing they have in common is that they are two rides in a shed. And the way DBGT is being described, it doesn't really qualify as a ride, more an attraction.

The News
The SNP indépendance consultation/referendum will be nothing compared to the world of pain that the ROI and Gibraltar will go through over the next two years. Besides, Scotland did vote by a large margin to stay in the EU, it's no surprise that they are doing whatever they can to obtain that goal.

Your favourite Thorpe Park coaster?
I don't like Saw. The other four are all interchangeable and worthy Thorpe Number ones. X sucks.

Next Roller Coaster
Thorpe are proving they the only thing they do significantly well are rollercoasters, so yes please. Either an Intamin or Mack air-time machine will do for me ta. Inversions aren't necessary.

How were the fastpass queues on other rides?

Tomb Blaster
I'm aware of that. I'm just pointing out that the two names have become interchangable and that 'Merlin' as a company did not replace Terror Tomb or Bubbleworks. The people still working there may have done, but Merlin didn't.

Tomb Blaster
That was a Tussauds decision, not Merlin.

Pesky Closed Days
Having seen Tidal, Loggers and Rumba operating in minus temperatures and the snow, there isn't a reason, operationally why Thorpe couldn't open in Winter. The issue they have is getting people to go to the park when traditionally, the parks are dead September onward, Fright Nights excluded.
