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.

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.

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.

As in 'May I have your attention please, Derren Browns ghost train is currently unavailable'

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.

I'm okay with that. Even if we only have Nemesis, many countries enthusiast groups would give their right shoe to have a ride like that.

I get the feeling the Japanese are in general, the most enthusiastic people on the planet. When they go for something, they go hard. Long queues for the new flyer aren't surprising in the slightest.

You should shop in Waitrose, we've had amazing lemon ice cream for years in much larger portions I bet

I've always thought that Intamin and B&M work perfectly in different ways and there isn't really a need for B&M to suddenly go after the launch market for example, especially as Mack have pretty much taken over Intamin's stranglehold. Admittedly Intamin launches are faster then Macks but then Mack have better designs, smoother and better trains and are more reliable rollercoasters

Ride Access Pass's and Yellow Wristbands directly affect park operations.

I generally prefer B&M for their comfort and ease of riding. I find Intamins really need to warm up to be outstanding as Piraten was downright awful in the morning and then outstanding in the late afternoon. Wouldn't be fair to compare Expedition Ge Force because I wasn't a big fan of that especially as the train we were using with the ECC was cold. Shambhala and SIlver Star are good rides though, no question.

The wikipedia page for deaths at Disney parks is a grim read.

I've seen that guy photo a ceiling at a hotel in Europa Park. That is definitely not 'down with the kids'

Coaster Jamie, when I say the public think of Woodies, Blackpool springs to mind, in no way I am saying that as a bad thing. What I am saying is that there last woodie was built in the 50's, they are old rides and that is what has stuck in the GP's mind because Megafobia aside, they are the only parks to feature wooden coasters in their line up.

This viewpoint only seems to exist in the UK. I think when people think woodie, they think Blackpool.

A carer along with other carers and a boy with MS once told me they used the main queue because they couldn't stand the judgemental faces from people when they got on via the exit.

Darren Brown definitely wasn't.

I give it a week. It' always exciting when its something new but that dies fairly quickly once the newness has gone. I remember the Swarm AP day and all the excitement from staff members.

I think it's the best Disney film since Lilo and Stitch. It's just such a feel good film and so timely what with the world seemingly at war with itself currently.

It's okay, in a few years once the money has completely gone, they'll be encouraging us all to ride without headsets, completing yet another half arsed idea from Merlin entertainments.

Disneyland and California Adventure in May. Disneyland Paris in November. Potential trips to Towers and Thorpe. If they prove to be on the up as the season progresses.

This VR thing will be so short term IMO. It just completely destroys throughputs too much.
