    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    Still on one this morning but with it holding steady at around 70 minutes they're probably in no big rush, they probably should try before this weekend if it's at all possible

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    I hope nobody from Merlin is reading this but I would even pay extra for something that lets actors who normally can't touch you do so, in the mazes and around the park

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    Stitches is fantastic. Dead Beat was a bit of a disappointment. Trailers was ok. Can't really comment on Survival Games because I managed to go the wrong way and come out behind the actors doing the finale and by the time they'd got me back where I was supposed to be I'd no idea what was going...

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    Built different 😉 Was just on a strict get the coasters done mission. Started early, moved strategically, wasn't as intense as it sounds tbh, worst was just finding a parking space at Chessie

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    It was running until around 11 last night. Waited 2 hours 20 to the minute for it, half an hour faster than advertised. They were churning trains out as fast as they could, sprinting down the station. In my defence it was for my first ride, we'd spent the day at LLW and Chessie so thought...

    Chessington World of Adventures Resort

    Fury going down and staying down about two cars before ours was not the one for my first ever visit. Vampire is a real treasure isn't it

    Yesterday was the anniversary of German reunification. A coded message about the rise and inevitable fall of another German state, perhaps

    Hex [2024 Refurb]: General Discussion

    Is the 11th not the first day of Scarefest? If it's not a coincidence, that's the answer surely

    Are you a doer or a relaxer on holiday?

    Always been a do-er, if not a theme park then a city. Used to get bored on family holidays as a kid going to a resort in the Canaries or something and not really doing anything. But after spending time in Phú Quốc on our honeymoon in 2022 we decided to mix it up last year and stayed in a villa...

    Planet Coaster 2: General Discussion

    Yeah, I have a 2023 Asus Zenbook Duo Pro (one of those gimmicky ones with the second screen above the keyboard, very useful for design software (great idea for PC2 to have a feature where all the menus and pop ups and things can go on the bottom screen)) and on paper it has all the specs to run...

    Where is your local park and how often do you visit?

    Growing up it was Gullivers Warrington, which I remember going pretty regularly for years. It's still close but there's nothing for me there even they didn't have their policy of not letting adults in without children. Nowadays unless you count Knowsley Safari Park having a cred and the fair at...

    Nemesis Reborn: General Discussion

    Very very niche question, but if this isn't the place to ask it, nowhere is Does anyone know why the left hand seat of row 7 has those little red brace things on the back, and no other seat? What's that about?

    The "Look What I Made!" Topic.

    Had a go at making a film poster Tried to capture the sibling/duality concept woven into the film's setting, characters and structure, and hint at the zero-g set piece Also including a first draft and an alternative idea, just couldn't get the droplets looking right, still have a lot to learn

    Drop towers or shot towers?

    Too easy Leaving out things like Mystery Castle and Tower Of Tower I'd probably say drop towers. I miss Apocalypse at Drayton and Atmosphere at Liseberg genuinely had me scared. I do feel that if they're too big they start losing impact though, Condor at PA for example I just got bored half way...
