I dread to think what that makes us as forum thoosies......

The same given the rank of sheer displeasure we generate that could power a country if you could bottle negativity.

Guess the reason why we're still here as we're all too far deep with our views so we can't change. Guess it's the friends or enemies you make along the way that makes life bearable.

Speak for yourself. There is plenty of performative whinging here, but there’s also far more constructive criticism, discussion and reliable insight than can be found on wider social media.

I'm aware of all that..sadly as I've mentioned before, pure hatred and negativity gains more clicks and clout than constructive criticism (which honestly I doubt Merlin will ever heed to sadly) and look no further than the big coaster enthusiasts like TPWW and LHAT who have for intentionally or not have told everyone to have a pop at Merlin as it seems years of frustrations have boiled over and now they want Universal here and give Merlin eternally damnation...

All because of some downtime, value for money and food offerings which makes their vendettas more pathetic than meaningful. Isn't it hard why some thoosies have gained a bad name even of the folks funning the parks aren't much better.

Yes. This is a place where everyone actively has an interest in what’s going on - there’s no pulling the wool over anyone’s eyes for clicks, because we’re all nerds and would see straight through it, and there is no reason to gain clicks in the first place. This isn’t “The Media”, we’re all just here. the difference with here and let’s say Twitter, is that we aren’t fighting for your attention. No one’s trying to make money, there are no ads, no news articles with a concerning amount of buzz words and provocative language, and I’m pretty sure no one is making a penny from this.

Are we too negative because we are so overly familiar with everything we talk about? Yes - it comes from a place of passion, we want to be here, whereas social media is just stealing your time, which is money.

We are on an elaborate fan communication site.

Yeah but your constant posts moaning about the moaning are causing a moaning concentration that potentially will lead to the collapse of the negativity field and result in a negativity black hole emerging… Otherwise know as a Gammon singularity.

That Boomer gammon is the lowest though.
I'm glad I'm just a third rate thoosie happy clapper.
Just give me a weak beer and any old woodie.

Apparently there have been three fires this week at Alton Towers: Runaway Mine Train, Big Bob and the Forbidden Crappers.

Can anyone verify?

That's correct. RMT happened during morning checks before ERT, fire crews attended and were gone by the time the park opened, and it was back open by mid afternoon. Wicker Man happened this morning, and was kept closed the entire day.
 
I don’t quite understand what they’re going for with that? What’s with the AirPods? What’s with the text that accompanied the teaser? Why is it all about Nemesis when the concept appears to be about all the coasters at the park? I’m very confused.
 
Yeh it’s all nice etc and nice callbacks and the johns but I’m still left confused.

It appeared like they were teasing something new. The AirPods made it seems like a music release or something. Also a bit odd featuring AirPods when they would not be allowed on the ride (as shown she takes them out) but what purpose do they play other than being a callback to Percy?
