Benin Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/japan/8818400/Japan-offers-10000-free-trips-to-foreigners.htmlThe Japan Tourism Agency plans to ask would-be travellers to submit online applications for the free flights, detailing which areas of the country they would like to visit, the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper said.The agency will select the successful entrants and ask them to write a report about their trip which will be published on the internet.Tourism authorities hope that positive reports from travellers about their experiences in Japan will help ease international worries about visiting the country, the newspaper said.The programme, which will require travellers to cover other costs such as accommodation, is expected to start from next April, subject to government budgetary approval.The number of foreign tourists to Japan fell more than 50 per cent year-on-year during the three months after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that triggered meltdowns and explosions at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.The sharp drop began to ease somewhat in the summer.In June and July, tourist figures were down 36 per cent from a year ago, easing to 32 per cent in August as the country worked to reassure foreign tourism markets.The government has said Japan is safe except for the immediate vicinity of the crippled plant, where work crews are still trying to bring the facility to a cold shutdown.Evidently, now is the time to plan a trip to Japan... Take me to Tokyo please... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I love the ride attendant in this photo. People like him made the day so much better. He really takes on his work with an unmatched zeal. Luke_A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I won a ticket to meet youmeatsix before their gig on saturday, I am so ecstatic right now!!BUT, I can only bring one friend with me and everyone's practically begging me to take them. I've narrowed it down to 3 people who all love the band equally and all deserve it as much as each other, I have no idea what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidders Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 No, I met him later in the day (dusk) on Storm Surge. I was getting a little too excited and he was like "Stayyyy! Stayyyy.... Sit!" And it was hilarious People like him are my favourite kind of ride attendants - they really enjoy their jobs and make everyone's day that much better. When we were in the Storm Surge queue and the queue was delayed due to attendants having to empty the boats of excess water, that guy was skipping around the boats shouting "Hurry! Hurry!" and generally being amazing and entertaining so that myself and other guests included didn't get bored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark9 Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 VSBut which one will be finished first?! Odds are 4-1 Wild Eagle, 20-1 Swarm. Take your bets now. Cornflakes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Swarm Eagle's site is a lot bigger, could take more time moving the crane around blah blah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackR Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 My 100th post according to my profile but only 94th according to the info bit by my avatar, and I'm having a Chinese tonight... O.oOh and Wild Eagle will be ready first, not as much theming and things like controlled fountains etc. to be installed. Which one opens first is a different question though...

Benin Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 ^Swarm will probs open first, as generally the American parks open later on in the year compared to us and Europe...Dunno which will finish first though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 The Swarm will complete it's circuit first. It's much less spaced out and there's fewer pieces at any great height left to put together. Themeing will be interesting though. I reckon it could be Wild Eagle that is finished in it's entirety first, but The Swarm will have the last piece of track in place quite possibly a couple of weeks ahead of Wild Eagle.

Sidders Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Agreed. And if it were kept, I'd love to be able to use it. I think I speak on behalf of all Moderators. although for some reason, Ryan is the only Moderator who can post in it? The rest of us can only view it? Something must be askew with the Group Permissions on the Admin CP... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidders Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 That easy enough if you're a member, but if an argument kicks off (because there can be little or no moderation in the Shoutbox), then how are the Moderators to act on anything that gets said that may be offensive to other members?

AdamY Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Well I was guessing the mods would have to keep it, but just for the rest of us who don't want it cluttering up the page, just thought I'd point out it is removable.
