    QUESTION: Florida on the cheap

    I went with my girlfriend last September and we tried to do it as cheap as possible. The biggest costs to you will likely be attraction tickets and spending money, so it's up to you how much you get of each. For the flight and accom. We spent about £600 each for 3 weeks.

    Awful School Shooting in America

    That video is amazing. It is an odd sensation to find myself agreeing with Piers Moron however. It does seem ridiculous that the main argument against gun control seems to be 'if we ban guns then how will we protect ourselves against maniacs with guns?'.

    Ride/park accidents in 2012

    Personally speaking, that clip of the restraint opening on the drop is perhaps the most terrifying video of any ride I've ever seen.

    MAP Christmas/New Year Sale

    I'm in the same situation as you, Nathan. I'm just assuming it's the same for us as if we never held one previously.

    Most Anticipated Games: 2013 Edition

    I didn't know there was a new Dead Island game out, shame the trailer isn't anywhere near as good as the original teaser. Bioshock Infinite and Tearaway both look good to me, hopefully Tearaway will be what the Vita needs to give it a bit of a boost. That and perhaps some more developers making...

    Drinks Capsules

    Is this as opposed to the really tall slush bottle/glasses they used to replace the capsules towards the end of the season?

    The I Feel Happy Topic!

    I am super happy today because after visiting about 6 closing down Comet stores I've now got a super cheap Canon DSLR camera.

    PortAventura: General Discussion

    I believe you are correct actually, here's a screenshot from the above video of the trims: And here is a shot of one of the same type of brakes on The Swarm: I'm certain they are mechanical brakes looking at that photo and considering they're half way around the circuit!

    PortAventura: General Discussion

    There is definitely a magnetic trim after those black stripes, you have to pause it at the right moment.

    PortAventura: General Discussion

    I would presume that it settled at that point after a good amount of going back and forth over the small bunny hop and up the next main hill, unless anyone has evidence to say otherwise I would presume that it came to chance that when it finally ran out of energy to climb the bunny hop it was on...

    B&M 4D Rumours

    In Th13teen's defence, the 'prototype' part of the ride, the drop section, is (in my opinion) pretty perfect, it's forceful and insanely efficient.

    Poor York dungeon/new Berlin dungeon.

    There would be no point adding much extra flood protection to the dungeon, areas of York near the river flood quite regularly so the places that are at risk already have protection, the dungeon is quite far up in the grand scheme of things, this really was quite freak flooding to affect...

    If the Enterprise were to suddenly lose power

    That looks pretty violent! Although, seeing that video I didn't realise that the cars can swing a full 360 degrees about their pivot point, so if it did stop completely upright, the people at the top wouldn't be stuck in a sideways car (I had thought they could only swing within a certain range).

    Future improvements for Charlie

    I don't think the majority of punters would be impressed with a dark ride, unless it was spectacularly good. Based on the general reaction of people going on Sub-Terra and expecting a coaster I don't think many non-enthusiasts really consider dark rides to be proper rides, at least when they go...

    Strange Roller Coasters

    I read all of those credits at the end of that video as 'VAGINAL'.

    I'm a "Celebrity"...

    I'm also quite fond of I'm a Celebrity. I couldn't care less about the actual people involved, they could be members of the public for all I know about most of them. I enjoy the trials and challenges and the tone overall. I wouldn't be particularly bothered if they ditched the 'reality' element...

    the ITV thread

    I'm personally not a fan, I'm quite fond of the current branding. More amusing though, is that whoever wrote that article seems to think that @Queen_UK is genuinely The Queen tweeting.
