  1. I WANT MY NIGHT TUBE DAMN IT.
  2. I'll be voting to stay in the EU as nothing has convinced me so far that leaving the EU would be beneficial to this country.
  3. You need a website with your own reviews on. I love reading all your trip reports.
  4. Not to sound too presumptuous but I'm going to go out on a limb and say no it won't be better then Shambhala.
  5. Out of interest, why do you think it will beat Silver Star.
  6. Getting huge Helix type vibes form that. Looks great.

    That's a bit of a cop out really, you've had several posts above yours saying how much people like Thirteen despite the initial beginning to the ride. Why would anyone gun you down when the ride is getting tonnes of praise?

    Only just realising? I knew it back in 2010
  10. Did Fracking cause the Amity Cove tidal wave?!
  11. I hope so, it made me cry everytime I saw the ones at Ratatouille getting all tatty from guests.
  12. I hope those posters aren't to close to the queue line. I can imagine a restless average Thorpe goer ripping them.
  13. Precisely. When I worked there it could run up to five cars and we all used to call it the easiest ride to operate in my area because it never had a queue.

    I could say that with every ride operator in any theme park in the world.
  15. Welcome to human nature. We judge things before the final product in every walk of life. Look at how everyone was critiquing the London Olympics in 2012 before the event or how based on the trailers, the internet decided Batman v Superman was going to be awful. We're going to spend the next ten, twenty, thirty years with this ride in existence, we want it to be as top quality as it can be. For some, they may be looking for things to rip apart, but that isn't the majorities intention. For me, it could be so much better if it was a completely themed facade, all the way round the ride building.
  16. It's an incredible park that is constantly refining and updating. All the old gutter rides are slowly being removed and replaced with some outstanding stuff.

    Ten years ago I'd have said yes. Now a days I think Stealth is fine as it is. There's four other coasters that do inversions if you really want that.
  18. I'm picky when it comes to shed ride buildings. I spotted the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride shed quite quickly when I went to Florida. I hope they are some massive arse trees then.
  19. I love these shots, it looks properly themed, atmospheric and well detailed. But then it goes to pot with this How easy is it to see that red warehouse from main pathways? Cause it looks awful.
  20. Judging by the amount of people voted most sarcastic member in the 2015 awards, I'd say that is false. I'm also aware your post was slightly sarcastic as well.

    He would be if he hadn't been left out in the rain to rot.
  22. Mark9 replied to EC!'s topic in UK Attractions
    I love Thirteen. Even if everybody else apparently hates it. Around 2003 when promo art of a valley woodie was doing the rounds on Alton Towers forums.
  23. As in 'May I have your attention please, Derren Browns ghost train is currently unavailable'
  24. Mark9 replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    Well it has, just not in anyway that benefits the theme park side of the operation. If you like Zoos or fancy hotels, it's probably a lot more interesting.
