  1. Yup he's hot, I approve. Oh and the shop looks good.
  2. To swing this back to B&M, I'd also suggest for anyone who may be doing Disneyland Paris, to attempt to get to Parc Asterix for Oz'Iris. That's a park that seems to have fallen under the radar a little, Oz'Iris is a cracking little invert that for me, really gives Nemesis a run for its money.
  3. Give it time, you're still young. PortAventura for example is really easy to get to from the UK and it's an affordable place to go. I don't think the UK could ever do a hyper coaster justice because you require height and length for a really good hyper. Our closest one is The Big One and thats a terrible example of a hyper. I've been hankering for a new B&M to ride for a while, anyone up for a trip to France for Monster or Heide for Krake and that Demon thing?

    Is it more they want it running during peak periods and not in quieter periods. You know, the same way they are running Rameses at Chessie. Considering it's terrible downtime over the past few years, that seems quite logical to me.

    Woman next to Mer (I don't know the name sorry):- 'I'm having the time of my life'
  6. I WANT MY NIGHT TUBE DAMN IT.
  7. 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.
  8. You need a website with your own reviews on. I love reading all your trip reports.
  9. 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.
  10. Out of interest, why do you think it will beat Silver Star.
  11. 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
  15. Did Fracking cause the Amity Cove tidal wave?!
  16. I hope so, it made me cry everytime I saw the ones at Ratatouille getting all tatty from guests.
  17. I hope those posters aren't to close to the queue line. I can imagine a restless average Thorpe goer ripping them.
  18. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
