I'm really hoping this is unfinished and turns out to be just the base for some proper rock theming on top. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Right, okay the dragon is gone. I don't like the fact but, I can understand that a dragon doesn't mix with the whole tiger thing, fine. But what they have done here is not created a cave, but created a dragon that appears to have now been preserved under lava rock from Pompeii or something! I...

I honestly can't work out if Merlin are just deluded or totally arrogant! I am honestly so sad about how all the parks (now just Towers) have become. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Gotta go round the park in one direction now? What is this, IKEA Towers?? Thank feck I didn't renew my pass! Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Better for who? Certainly not the guests, but I guess for Merlin fat cats yeah. More payed for tickets equals more profit, but never mind the MAP second class citizens. If that's the reason they've done it the way they have then shame on them. They need to be winning people over, not sending...

Surely Towers should have done a pre booked ticket system for everyone? Thorpe does this on special events, even MAP holders have to book, even if there's no charge. This will inform all guests whether they can enter the park prior to the day in question, and Towers have a clear idea of how...

What really gets my goat is all this talk and reporting from media and certain victims of the crash stating that the ride is somehow "unsafe". It wasn't a ride fault that caused the crash, in fact the ride did exactly what it was meant to do, stopping itself to avoid a crash. It was HUMAN...

Mansun! That is a very good shout! Partaking in geekery since 1985

Nice thread! Personally, I like Blur but have always loved Oasis far more! Noel Gallagher is the reason I picked up a guitar for first time and have played ever since. However, although Blur, Oasis and Pulp are the obvious choices I'm going for a couple of forgotten gems. Remember the sitcom...

Good news indeed. In the interest of balance, since everybody (including myself) were disgusted by the blue fence around the interactive tree in Wild Asia, I am pleased to report it has been replaced by a themed fence. Partaking in geekery since 1985

People were left "dangling". Oh, and passengers were "screaming and crying, sounding petrified" apparently. Yeah, great "journalism", bravo! Partaking in geekery since 1985

Wobble World is one that's annoyed me. Last year my daughter (was 4 years old then) came bouncing out of Wobble World just to shout to me "THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!!" Surely as attractions go this one is relatively inexpensive to run? Why close it??

If he didn't die on impact, and if he wasn't paralysed by the fall, he bloody well would be after the PIGGYBACK he received! Dear god!!

It looks like the red oxide paint they use to cover up exposed metal before applying proper paint.

We went this year, it was a very good display. The kids loved the lego brick 3D glasses too!

Sad news that jobs may be cut at Towers: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-34771289

During the day you come in from the daylight so your eyes don't have a chance to adjust to the dark. Obviously at night they are already adjusted before you even enter the building.

With regards to changing the detectors from optical to heat detectors, it isn't exactly the hardest and most time consuming job. It shouldn't take a competent alarm engineer any more than an hour to swap a few heads and do a relearn on the fire panel if it's an addressable system. Really no...

Yeah, it's the Sunken Garden behind Stealth. A spot to sit away from the hoards of people, in fact last time I was there not a single person went past in 25 minutes!
