So lets imagine you're sat in a lovely cafe and have ordered a full english breakfast. All is well until the waiter comes back to your table having forgotten to ask how you would like your eggs. Well? How would you like them? I think I've covered pretty much all the options.

At the moment I'm really into podcasts. There's literally a podcast for everything, there really is some excellent content out there! So what podcasts do we all listen to? I'm listening to a couple of comedic interviews at the moment. I particularly enjoy Richard Herring's Leicester Square...

Generally the main demographics targeted by theme parks are either young adults or families. I guess this is because they are the most likely to visit parks and therefore worth targeting, although I'm sure its not that simple. I see a fair few older people (Lets say retirement age, so 65+) at...

I don't think it does.

I'm just gonna put this out there, I love watching the John Lewis Christmas adverts each year. The excitement of knowing it will be released soon, the high pitched female covers of well known songs, and the sickening sentimentality of the story lines. My favourite has to be 2011's offering: A...

The other day I was thinking about how theme parks differ between countries and regions, and in particular the difference between American and European parks. In a general sense, American parks are more focused on big rides, strong branding and individual experiences. European parks tend to be...

This is a really tough one for me. Magic Kingdom has amazing theming and scenery, as well as a good variety of rides. I love the theming of Animal Kingdom, and Everest is great fun. Hollywood studios has some good thrill rides and shows. I think I can rule out Epcot, it doesn't immerse or...

Bit of background first - Me and a friend had planned a trip to Cologne for this summer, so a Phantasialand trip was an absolute must what with the opening of Taron and Klugheim. Phantasialand seems to be very highly rated on this site, so I had high expectations. Needless to say I wasn't...

Earlier I was reading an article about Mckamey Manor in the USA, which if you haven’t heard of is a super extreme haunted house. It takes hours to complete and involves basically being tortured with stuff like force feeding, ‘drowning’ and being attacked. I would never try it myself as...

Its about time this forum had a topic of real depth and profundity. What is more vital to a household, a toaster or a microwave? I was discussing with some friends the versatility of a toaster, and the variety of foodstuffs that can be toasted using one. As you can imagine it was a very...

Don't think its been mentioned on the forums yet, but Brighton Pier has been sold for £18 Million to 'Eclectic Bar Group' - a chain run by Luke Johnson, a former chairman of Channel 4 and the guy that made Pizza Express a big chain. http://www.theguardian.com/business/201 ... press-boss Not...

Sorry to take this to another topic, I was gonna post a poll in the existing one when I realised I couldn't make polls in team talk :roll:. For those of you that don't know I am hoping to organise some kind of silly competition similar to the summer games we've had previously, and have been...

This is loosely following on from the WC16 marketing discussion. There seem to be two widely recognised marketing strategies when it comes to new rides: The more ‘American’ strategy such as for Valravn, in which details and developments are revealed early on and used to build up excitement for...

Simple topic, in your opinion what has been the best new ride or development of 2015? As far as rides go, Wicked Cyclone seems to have had one of the biggest impacts. Looks like a brilliant coaster with great airtime etc... Dreamland, and in particular Screamland, is one of the best overall...

So in the first Harry Potter film we are introduced to Professor Flitwick; a small and lovable choirmaster with a bald head and white wispy beard. He re-appears in the second film, continuing to outshine the lead characters with his subtle elegance and charm. By the time the third film is...

Hopefully this will become an interesting topic, particularly seeing the lists of the more experienced members who have already visited many of the world's top parks. So what are the top 10(ish) parks you most want to visit? My list (which will change often as I read about more parks) 1...

Well? My PC keeps offering to upgrade to it - I have 8.1 at the moment, which I've got fairly used to but it still annoys me due to user unfriendliness. I liked Windows 7, I'm wondering if I keep upgrading its only gonna get worse... No jokes about literal windows please, tbh I'm struggling to...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tRYbpFmToM Since leaving Blackpool John has taken his new machine on a big adventure, exploring the world and having new experiences! After being wished well by Amanda and the team, John began his adventure with a final ride on The Big One. He was there when...

This is mainly so I can support my theory that no one likes Richard Hammond tbh.

Obviously by European Coaster Capital I’m referring to Devon, England. PART 1: Woodlands NOTE: This park, and therefore this part of the report contains NO ROLLER COASTERS. I’m sorry about this, I did call the day before to see if Woodlands could build a coaster for the sake of this report but...
