Very true! I think, judging by how much is crammed in the last part, it was just down to running time. The finale is pretty well done though..

Yep.. The chap filming was filming SO MUCH, and was also keen to feature the fact it didn't open when it should. However, that doesn't appear at all, so obviously the direction of the finished film changed between then, and now.

Mostly about Wicker Man, and the key people involved with it. There's a lot of shots of the rides, during the intro, but very little after that. I imagine the production company went to them with an idea.

I think you're correct.

There's a lot of emphasis on learning from the mistakes of The Smiler accident, the safety and testing of the Wicker Man and the passion of the staff - it's all very positive.

Nope ... None of that! It's not a Channel 5 doc ;)

Nah, not really it's pretty well put together.. If you want a blow by blow account then my preview is here. They did skip over the original opening weekend (which was major jeopardy!!) the ending feels a bit rushed, but it's fairly satisfying.

No, they don't - they have audio of the news reports over still shots of the ride in the opening moments of the doc. I've written up about the whole thing, it's actually a very nice documentary. Won't say much else here because I can't suss how to use spoiler tags!

Rag N Bone Man is 196cm according to Google, and having stood next to him, I'd say that's accurate. Watching the dispatch a few times now, the restraints aren't overly forgiving to those both tall, and uhm.. stocky? One of the actors couldn't ride because of his size.

To the person who asked about it being hot inside Bob - no - it's not. K

There were two sets, just past JCB as mentioned, with traffic lights (which were causing traffic last week) and also some on the road to resort a bit before the access road to Oblivion. The second set didn't have lights, so weren't really a problem, just meant traffic heading to the resort had...

Yes . The shoulder flames trigger just as the train is approaching so you see them as you're going into it at the highest point. I don't think anyone reacted because we'd done the ride at least 5 times before we filmed the POV videos. I think it adds plenty - it's part of the story, it's...

Definition of Exclusive - "restricted to the person, group, or area concerned." (Source ) This footage was exclusive to the group that attended that day. ;)

I can't help but wonder if this is some sort of prop for the press launch on Friday, rather than something staying there permanently...? I'd say during Ant and Dec or The Voice on Saturday night EDIT: Oh.. If you want another POV - mine is here -

It was - BUT - not completely, the splash was very small compared to how it normally is.

The arm must have broken fairly recently as I was there two months ago and it was tipping properly - hopefully it'll get fixed in the January shut down!

There is DEFINITELY a hydraulic arm (on the left hand side from behind), you can't really see if from the front - but it's visible from the Master Blaster 'launch'. I spent far too long stood there watching it ;)

So obviously Margs and Flambos are currently having a bit of a re-fit as is The Spa - I was at the ATH for a few nights and noticed some goings on which might interest you. This is what I learnt from chatting to the staff and my Hotel journalist wife doing some digging.. Apparently Flambos is...
