January 5, 20169 yr comment_225631 What's the current fried chicken shop called in x sector? Fried Chicken Co. I think, or something like that
January 5, 20169 yr comment_225641 Had a dream I went on the new air last night and nothing was repainted it was just covered in pitch black tunnels with a few fairy lights dashed around to make it look like space. I rode front row with some guy from TOWIE... Fascinating dreams are.
January 6, 20169 yr comment_225701 Well, you know Merlin with creative names. There's already oblivion: the black hole and I have a feeling the Derren brown attraction will also have an uninspiring name. At least the restaurant does what it says on the tin.It will be called "Simulator - A Derren Brown ride" and every line of dialogue will end in "Derren Brown ride'Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk
January 6, 20169 yr comment_225702 Rollercoaster Restaurant. Named by the same geniuses who gave us Octonauts Rollercoaster Adventure only a year ago. EDIT: Alton Towers have now revealed a description on their website! Despite the name, this does sound very promising! So promising they're going back in time to open it!Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk
January 6, 20169 yr comment_225703 Does anyone know if a merlin annual pass will get you a further 20% discount off the hotel, on top of the 35% off in their January sale?
January 6, 20169 yr comment_225705 That's what I thought! I called them up earlier and they didn't seem to know! Off-peak is cheap anyway with the 35% so that's great. Thanks
January 11, 20169 yr comment_225930 isn't the reveal about Air's retheme being announced tomorrow morning at the Science Museum? Any details regarding this?
January 11, 20169 yr comment_225968 isn't the reveal about Air's retheme being announced tomorrow morning at the Science Museum? Any details regarding this?Ahh yeah forgot about that! They're making some sort of announcement, I'm pretty sure nothings been confirmed and is enthusiasts are just assuming but let's be honest, they're not going to go to the science museum to announce new opening times are they?Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk
January 11, 20169 yr comment_225972 Reckon it's a public thing that you can go along to? Considering going before work
January 12, 20169 yr comment_226028 Alton Towers have now confirmed that they'll be closed on "quieter days" this season. http://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/Alton-Towers-shut-8216-quieter-days-8217/story-28489756-detail/story.html
February 1, 20169 yr comment_227371 Didn't Alton say that the full 2016 ride lineup would be revealed in January?
February 1, 20169 yr comment_227375 1 day late, how dare they In reality you'll be going regardless of ride closures anyway
February 1, 20169 yr comment_227380 1 day late, how dare they In reality you'll be going regardless of ride closures anyway Actually it's not one day late, they've had 31 days to reveal it during the timescale they put on their website and it would be helpful to know for people planning a visit or making a decision on whether or not to renew their MAP.I won't be visiting if the rumoured six-ride closure comes to fruition, especially not if they're rides I like as it is a case of whether it's worth the petrol money for a 6 hour round trip for me.
February 1, 20169 yr comment_227382 I reckon Ripsaw will be closed I hope not as I am planning that to be the first ride of the season, followed by a go on Hex and the flume followed by an underwhelming trip to a cardboard factory.
February 1, 20169 yr comment_227383 Obviously something's happened which has made them delay the announcement. They don't withhold information from people just to piss them off.
February 1, 20169 yr comment_227386 Looking around Towers website Hex is closed as they 'sprinkle some towers love and care over the park'. Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk

February 1, 20169 yr comment_227388 True, but there isn't any info on the others, plus Ripsaw [alongside Flume] is also on there. Must be a recent thing. I did originally put Flume & CaTCF were staying til I saw Rippy on there. I did hear the other day, might have been on here, that Rippy was going back to Huss and so part of me hopes that there's an umpteenth of a chance it'll be coming back. Won't happen, though.Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk
February 1, 20169 yr comment_227396 Looking around Towers website Hex is closed as they 'sprinkle some towers love and care over the park'. Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk The excuses just get worse and worse! I think that pretty much confirms Hex's closure throughout 2016
February 1, 20169 yr comment_227398 The media team are trying their best. How else do you sell a closed ride as a good thing. Your blame is on the wrong department in this case Jamie. Corporate cutting budgets is hurting operations which mean media have to come up with nonsense like that.
February 1, 20169 yr comment_227401 Ripsaw has left the park in pieces along with the bridge control box ect. its deffo not coming back. We expected hex to be closed for 2016 So were just waiting for news of charlie, driving school, wobble world and sub terror So it could be upto 6-7 closures this year
