Re: Scenic Railway in Margate news Thats just it though Jake it was largely the opposite way around. The major decline in Margate really took hold alongside the decline of Dreamland. One didn't happen without the other. Many people visited Margate for the beach, but those are all over the...

Re: Scenic Railway in Margate news ^Indeed, which is why I feel that that this won't be marketed as just another amusement park but as a Heritage Site giving people the opportunity to relive a part of Britains history. They would be daft to go into direct competition with modern amusement parks...

Re: Scenic Railway in Margate news Well, according to the November Newsletter they have already started planning out the exhibitions and events as well as allocating a space for travelling showmen to bring attractions in too. I do worry about the free aspect too, however, I remember a time...

I wasn't sure about that either to be honest Smithy, but in all fairness, it is a college marketing project so I'm pretty sure it covers the bases he really needs it too and everything. I just said I'd put it here to help the guy out.

Re: Scenic Railway in Margate news In another topic Which is a really interesting point of discussion but not just relevant to the attraction that was being spoken about so I thought I would bring it here... To be fair the park though the park didn't close down because of the old rides being...

This is really a different discussion moreso related to Dreamland and the Scenic so I have responded over in that topic viewtopic.php?f=3&t=31973&p=831525#p831525

My issue with it is that it was clearly designed for the sole purpose of the duelling interaction and it really shows in an RCT kinda way. Straight section of track > straight section of track > oh crap we need to be two squares over, chuck in a corkscrew. There are many dead spots of nothing in...

Hey all. A friend of mine who is currently working on a Marketing project at college has asked if I would ask all you lovely CFers if we could take part and answer some questions. There is also an opportunity to answer what sort of ride you would like to see Thorpe get... It should only take a...

I couldnt agree more Joey. I have always felt it was overrated and as coasters they are both average made better by they fact they duel... oh wait they stopped that.

Re: Happy Holidays! LOL! Just use the term bugger a lot and you'll be there...

It is bizarre, for some reason because we are 'open about our sexuality' that people feel it is also appropriate to ask really personal questions... I mean I wouldn't go up to a straight couple and ask whether she wears a strap on with her husband or whatever. Its just a complete WHY moment!

To be fair, they have been making Jukebox Musicals since the 60s. Summer Holiday for example so its not entirely Mamma Mias fault... (Didn't the Beatles and Elvis also do some rather dodgy musical movies?) Anyways, courtesy of Gavin, Marc and I recently went to see The Phantom of the Opera...

Totally. Face to Face is a fantastic splice of a band and film score. Love that song and for a long time it sat at the top of my iTunes most played list!

I do see where you are coming from, but my argument against hiding the coaster away is that anyone that doesn't ride is just left sat near a queue with only a building to look at. Not all that exciting. Its funny because when Colossus at Thorpe Park opened, a TV show (Tommorows World I believe)...

Eurgh Picsolve are terrible! I doubt Disney would ever go there thankfully!

My personal faves are from Batman Begins and actually a lesser known film called Wilde (the biopic of Oscar Wilde staring Stephen Fry). Debbie Wiseman crafted such a beautifully haunting set of motifs and emmotion stirring pieces for that film. Actually, mentioning Batman Begins, I think a nod...

Yes. I like them. YUMZ

:shock: :shock: :shock: You have all three of the extended versions at 4 hours a piece and you say they are FAR too short???? You crazy crazy child. I seriously struggled with the extended versions as they were, any longer and I may just have pulled out my own eyes with cocktail sticks as an...
