    Alton Towers | The Smiler | Gerstlauer Infinity

    But that is all opinion isn't it really? It is a fact that it shall have a 1.4m height restriction (unless they were down right lying), so, I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure this will have a bigger thrill then Th13teen. The question is, where? Will something have to part to make...

    Alton Towers | The Smiler | Gerstlauer Infinity

    They did say at the Th13teen evening though that this coaster would DEFINATELY have a 1.4 metre height restriction. Use that information as you wish. Glad it's 2013 and not 2014, don't know if that's a saftey net approach incase planning permission screws them around so they can then go for a...

    Sooooo, who's getting up early tomorrow? It's normally 'tradition' for me to get up early, watch the Australian Qualfiying pr Grand Prix then head to Alton for opening weekend. Not going to Alton this year though, got mates coming up to Nottingham instead. But still setting the alarm for...

    Mad Science at the Alton Towers Resort

    Ey that's pretty cool. I've been in schools that adopt this 'Mad Science' on particular nights after school and the kids LOVE it. A chance to do some crazy science stuff without having to worry about the curriculum or assessment or owt. I reckon this will be really good. A bit like a more...

    Ben Ten Alien Thing - Junior Boomerang, DMP

    ^ What do you expect, this is the Premier of the Vekoma Junior Boomerang! £25 is quite a cheap price for 2010 when you compare it with the other parks though. To be honest, all park entrance prices became irrelvant when we started shopping at Tesco's.

    Best ride at Disney World

    Tower of Terror without a doubt. I'm shocked it's not first. I was actually pondering about this earlier, it is the only ride that sends shivers down my spine, it is incredible. It's actually a good ride too, even without all the dark-ness. Everything about it is just amazing. Everest...

    The Vekoma SLC

    Hate it. Even if Kumali was smooth it doesn't mean it's any good. Take Millenium Coaster for example, not rough at all, but I think it's the dullest coaster I've ever been on. I hate the coaster type because it sucks. I hate the standard models because they're everywhere, and they're...

    Best Theme Park in the UK??

    Alton, even though they are really pissing me off lately. For such a massive corporation that has scrimped back on what they put back into the place (despite making so much) over the past 9 years is absolutley pathetic, and it annoys me that it still has the reputation it has despite being...

    Ben Ten Alien Thing - Junior Boomerang, DMP

    Update on the rides opening, draytonmanor.com lists the ride opening on April 23rd, that's Easter Saturday. Bloody typical as we were planning on going on Good Friday. See it for yourself HERE!

    Gigs 'n' Tours

    The Darkness did split up years ago but this is they're reforming for Download. Well, they'll probably play a show or two before (is what normally happens) but still, a band I haven't seen before that I never thought I'd see!

    Supermoon

    I can usually see the moon from my window and tonight I can see **** all. Oh well, least I can see the wonders in Ian's image! Does look brighter than usual. I'm not sure what else to say...

    Favourite mine train?

    Oh my God this has come back from the grave. Stick to my first comments though, love Disneylands'. I'm suprised with the negative comments about the one at Paris, I quite like it. Chessington's is ****.

    Shanghai, China | Shanghai Disneyland | Theme Park

    I think another factor as well is that they get guests in when it's opened, then get guests back every time they make something new. For example, people going to Hong Kong Disneyland, saying it's crap, then going back to see all the new expansion they're doing. If it opens up as that then you...

    Shanghai, China | Shanghai Disneyland | Theme Park

    So here we go, await until 2015 when a very bare park will be constructed. People will be dissapointed, but then they'll release a masterplan of an expansion to get the park to a 'normal' Disney standard. Ahhh the days when going to a Disney park felt exclusive. That was pre my lifetime, let...

    New Nickelodeon Land for Blackpool

    To be honest I'm suprised there's still so much to do! I think by the time the land is finished RollerCoaster will fit in a bit more because of the bright colours the area will bring (I presume). But yeah, do we think pace is slow or this is expected? It doesn't look like it should be open...

    Have Height Restrictions Increased in the Past Few Years?

    I don't think they've changed at all, and it must be partiially to do with the parks because if we look at B&Ms: Nemesis: 1.4m Dueling Dragons: 1.37m (54") Oblivion: 1.4m SheIkra: 1.37m (54") Air: 1.4m Manta: 1.37m (54") So there we see evidence of parks being able to influence...

    Fantasy Island UK - Turning a new leaf for 2011?

    Ha! What a website! Second everything furie's being saying too, every year there seems to be a thread like this, but good to see that they actually HAVE refurbished lots instead of saying they're going to again. I meant to get here last year because of the wristbands but forgot. Guess that...

    Rides you miss

    The Crazy Loop at Pleasure Island! Pinfari crap at it's best! I rode it at Brean last year for the first time for 8 years and it was so nostalgic! I remember looking at that coaster when I was like 7 and being amazed by it. Toyland Tours extremely. Sometimes when a decent attraction...
