You don't want to fight this CJ. Just embrace the fact you've gone down inTPM history.

I think 4.5 is the new if I wanted trees I'd go to a garden centre.

Paultons fully deserve this award, they're an excellent park and really care about the visitor experience. They should be getting far more then a million guests a year.

This is what I'm a coaster enthusiast for. Pure unadulterated coaster, no gimmicks or worlds first. Just pure ride.

What dark rides are you talking about out of interest?

What do we think about the Calais situation? We have an agreement with the French government to have our Border checks there but the Calais Mayor wants the border pushed back to Dover. I would find it funny in by leaving the EU, we've actually just let refugees in far more easily. Would be even more delicious that Dover fully voted to leave.

Well we've sucked at football for 20 years. Is that any surprise. We're awesome at so many other sports and yet its football that gets all the stories. Hamilton won an awesome Austrian GP today, bet that makes no headlines at all.

Yup, yup yup It's one of the easiest European theme parks get to so there really is no excuse. I'd say its a relentless rollercoaster and it's lack of 'break' moments isn't so much a negative, it just feels like a lot of the ride blurs into one because its just so pacy. In saying that, its definitely competing with the Mack types now and is so much better then a lot of Intamins that have gone before. It's comfortable, its relatively reliable, its got ejector air time and crazy turns by the bucket load. Phantasialand and Intamin make some stunning rides frankly. I hate log flumes normally, Chiapas bucks that trend and now with Taron, they really have an excellent duo of top tier rollercoasters (I have a massive soft spot for Black Mamba ).

No idea. It seemed more like a well themed rollercoaster then one with a story. It's a good ride by the way. Definitely better once its warmed up through the day, it has some of the best ejector air time I've ever encountered. Nice head choppers, lots of dizzying moments, the restraints are excellent. Dare I say it better then the Mack equivalent. Only thing that lets it down is there's only two or three outstanding moments. It's so pacy that a lot of it just becomes a blur instead of well defined. When the giant cattlemen isn't used the full queue holds about 35 minutes of queue. I'm very glad rides like this exist though and that theme parks are no longer just reaching for the stars and just creating intricate, well crafted rollercoasters. It's one of Intamins better rides, thats for sure and just looks greats with trains zipping too and fro every few seconds.

In moments of stress or intense emotions, people's brains tend to skim over whats going on which is why eye-witness accounts can be somewhat unreliable. What they believe is true but it doesn't mean its completely accurate.

To be fair, they just tweeted and the mirror ran with it. They are right though, its an incident that should not have happened.

Wait hang on. We're going to be the same as before just with no say in the EU rules, no vote or veto, still with free movement and the single market. Oh my god. So now, the main leave argument is void, the whole remain argument has come true and we're halfway house with less democracy then we had before. Thats if the 27 EU members even decide to let us have the Norway system. Leaderless, powerless, no actual opposition who continue to implode. Just glad the economy hasn't completely taken itself yet although with another three months of uncertainty, who knows where we will be in October.

Yup. ProjectLC for Prime Minister.

I don't blame her for wanting independence for her country, after all its what we've just done. I've been watching this story all day and one thing is pretty clear. The arguments need to stop, its done. Our parties need to unite and get us through this. They need to send a clear message of intent of where we're going. At this point, ProjectLC seems to have given more information on what an independent UK is more then our actual government. More importantly though, a clear message needs to be send out to people that this xenophobic element which people are reporting up and down the country is not to be tolerated. We voted to leave the EU, not to send people home or impose a fear in people for their nationalities. That is not what we voted for and our leaders need to make that clear.

Christ. That picture of the wheel assembly is terrifying. I'm amazed that so far there has been no fatalities.

The Labour party is now going into meltdown. The fallout from this referendum is massive. BBC Article

Young people don't feel like their vote matters. It's exactly in circumstances like this where 75% of young people want to remain get over-ridden by the older generations makes them feel more disenfranchised. We see it time and time again. What worries more is the outright racism being displayed up and down the country at the moment. It terrifies me and it's not the United Kingdom I want to live in. A pandoras box of hate has been opened and thats never going to close now that the little Englanders feel like they have the right to do it.

I like it. For instance the Tory government has never cared about the poor. The poorest ironically are the ones that voted to leave. If we want an arrangement like Norway then we have to accept free movement of people, I.e. those pesky immigrants. Except this time there will be no Schengen agreement in place. So the main argument from Leave is completely irrelevant, unless we don't really want to trade with Europe and are happy to shut up shop. That damning shadow of the EU rebuilt Manchester after the 1999 bomb, injects 60 million a year into Cornwall, a minimum of 650 million a year into Wales, money the UK government would never put into place. We're in a brave new world now and I'm quite amazed by the effect this little country has had on the rest of the world. By taking a shotgun to ourselves and our families future, we may have started something that in ten years will be a very different Europe.

They were waiting for the economy to crash before opening their brand new ride.

You're beginning to sound like an expert and we don't listen to experts anymore. Today has been an awful day. Normally I'd celebrate the resignation of a Tory prime minister, but knowing that we could be ruled by the class clown isn't enough to console me. Still on the bright side, we managed to crash the Japanese economy too so silver lining and all that.

My Grandfather was Scottish, so when they inevitably go independent and join the Eu, screw the lot of you. I can live without the English B&M's anyway.

If I was an AP user still, this would definitely be the day to avoid.

Is that still happening? I thought it was off the cards now what with the Beauty and the Beast dark ride coming.
