According to RCDB, Clone Zone is a coaster .. http://www.rcdb.com/857.htm Although if that is to be believed, I'd like to count Over The Hill at Adventure Island as a coaster too ;)

A bit of a lazyman's trip report here - I've done Camelot, Lightwater, Flamingoland and Adventure Island in the last 5 days and am rather tired! So here are some pics :) And finally, a baby squirrel who got...

I hadn't really thought of that, although I'm sure there would be ways of getting around it. Either speeding the conveyor up a little, or removing it all together and loading the boats whilst they are static. Faster dispatch would also require better loading procedure..batching gates? Hmm...

Having a backwards drop is kinda fun, but they will be able to increase the throughput massively if they get rid of it. Although increased number of boats going through = Effects needing to be used more than before = More power and gas (for fire) needed = Blackpool removing effects.

More info/source on this? I'm interested!

The most interesting question for me was the one asking what type of new ride we wanted; Suspended coaster Looping coaster .. I would have put Suspended, it's just I know that what it's actually asking is; Fabbri Vekoma so had to go with looping :P

Link to the survey here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/P59XT9L Just filled it out. Questions seem a bit biassed to me, would be better with 'Other' boxes that the user could write in. For example, the option of 4D cinema, OR more entertainers. How about .. neither? :P

Justin Bieber. LOL jks, he'd still be a **** even if he wasn't popular.

.. and i heard that shipping costs £899,000. Sounds about right.

Seriously? How.. I want to impulse-go now!

Just came across this.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HMQs-dS0So And on the Crealy Website; "We apologise that Morgawr Rollercoaster is temporally closed due to engineering problems." Oh dear.

^ Extremes are one of my favourite flat ride types! A lot depends on how it's being operated though, the automatic ride programmes are far more dull than what can be done in manual - rode various cycles on friday whilst William was getting to grips with it, the bit shown at the very start of the...

Brand new traveling flat - William Danter's Extreme. Still has more lighting and a backflash to be added! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRgAnXKivcQ&hd=1 EDIT: And now a video of it with backflash and extra lighting! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uFPItaZ8Fk&hd=1

I've squidged my fair share of boobs at theme parks.

Sesame Street is being built next to Tami-Tami, which is SBNO at the moment with the track wrapped in plastic! The whole area is fenced off, including the path up to Tami, I would assume it'll be re-opening and rethemed to fit Sesame street. It's hard to get a look at what's going on, but I...

I got 14 days for the price of 4 (£56) through the travel agent.. not helpful for this trip but worth knowing for anyone else thinking of going!

The snakey bits of wild mause's don't do anything for me, some of the hills are mildly enjoyable though. Blackpool's Wild Mouse is one of my favourite coasters, incredible airtime!

Yeah, I'd like to see what the official Apple 'bumpers' look like, the website doesn't really show much. I know I need a case really though, otherwise I could have a very expensive droppage! I don't like putting cases on cos they ruin the looks, although I did have a really nice Incipio case for...

Does the film cover the ear speaker bit? I'd imagine that would affect it! I presume you also know that whilst in a call you can turn up the person on the other end by using the volume buttons on the side?

Ditto, I've had 3G almost everywhere (except for my house..grr) on the new iPhone, 3G was a rarity with my iphone 3g! How ironic. I got worried after reading all the reports about the signal dropping, so then tried holding it in the problem areas, squeezing etc, and I didn't get any signal...
