Ice Age 4D is a great addition to the area, not a fan of the pretty much forced upon photo/green-screen area though. The short film itself has its funny moments, just typical of Ice Age. Some of the effects were a bit of sync with the movie which is a shame considering its brand new.
Nemesis: Sub-Terra. **** awesome. The attendants played their part well, I think their 'strictness and rudeness' is to kind of just make you think look, this is some serious **** you're going down to see, do NOT **** about. The lift effect was poor, Flamingo Land used to have one of these in Blombergs Tomb of Terror which felt way more realistic than this? There was two spots in the lift which the whole group were reluctant to stand on just in case something happened here.
Anyway, there was water on the lapbars so I knew we were going to get wet somehow and I spotted the 'leg ticklers' but what I didn't expect was to get a dig in the back :lol: When the lights went out and the egg had 'hatched' then went back out again I was so unsure what to expect. I knew there was live actors in there somewhere so was half-expecting some twat to be right in my face when the lights came back on or something. Thats what made it for me, having absolutely no clue what was going to happen. I wanted to cover my face in case someone was going around spraying stuff or something but didn't want to because I know in places like that they see someone **** themselves they prey on them the most haha.
The emergency lift lights went out and again did not know what to expect so was **** myself. Ran through the short walk out past the live actors, I think these maybe need to do more to scare people then hit the baggage hold. I agree the ending is a bit abrupt but by the time I'd gone through that I didn't want a long **** corridor :lol:
So yeah, my imagination ran wild and obviously played a big part in the ride so the re-rideability rating is pretty low. I think if you rode it when it was **** and then rode it again you wouldn't get the same feeling as if riding it for the first time now because you half know what to expect.
Anyways!! Other than that, the day was awesome, wasn't aware about the Rita cable causing us to go through the arcades which was a bit of an inconvenience, but it also made a long looking queue really short when you realised they were holding people up
Another top day at the towers. As always.
Edit: Maybe I should cut down on my **** **** expletives??
