I suppose the question is, do the coasters make you sick? Or is it at unexplainable phobia of being sick? As that's 2 different situations entirely. Although the last few years I've been knocked side ways by overdoing coasters as I age, I've only experienced fear before getting on a ride...

That's interesting because I read something very similar in regard to gaming. That's also a relatively new art form that's leant heavily on tropes because as a medium of expression there are some things that games can immerse you in that doesn't land as well in a 2-3 hour movie or book...

I suppose the best way I can describe the difference between keeping things loose and intriguing with thematics would be using the example of Forbidden Valley. Now let's park aside my dislike for all this secret sinister military organisation nonsense and go full on with it. You walk in to the...

Depends on the ride and how well it's done. Disney and Universal have the money from their own IP's to enhance or tell current established stories. The story and lore already exists, so they aim is to physically immerse you in it. Sometimes, like with coasters, it doesn't tell you the story at...

I'd say no. The original roar wasn't that pronounced on the sections of track where the current rattle is the loudest. If it was always there, it wouldn't be as pronounced as now, but you'd definitely know it. It's possible that there was some light rattling on old Nemesis, in fact there was in...

Have I missed a couple of pages of posts complaining about the proposed positioning and associated plynth for this addition or something?

X Sector is desperate for 2 rides before anything else. It's terrible now they've blocked that area off. One hopes that this new FV flat is one of 3 or 4 new additions next year, it's just that the X Sector ones don't require planning so this is the only one we actually know about? Or that could...

I don't even use my car that much. Me and my other half are on each others policies and we use both cars interchangeably. Car insurance is just one of those bills you have to have I suppose? I wonder if it would even be significantly more if I just cancelled for a couple of years and gave up all...

You're not the Director of Strategy for one of the chains are you?😂 Because you've hit the nail on the head there, that's exactly what they've done! Changed strategy very little, cut everything haphazardly beyond the bone, crossed their fingers, and hoped it would all work out well in the end...

First car insurance just after I passed was £1300 per year third party only on a 1.3ltr 1986 Astra. With inflation, that has to be somewhere around the region of £2k these days. I thought £2000 to £2500 was quite typical for new young drivers or has that got a lot cheaper in recent years? For...

It's your "isms" that people from far afield will be able to pick up on. Doesn't have to be a rhotic R or strong. I don't think there's really such thing as a typical British accent, you just have to look at Americans having at go one to see that. "Accentless" is something of a pseudoword, as by...

How much of this have they actually cut off? I presume to get Galactica now you have to walk past the Ripsaw site and past the shop?

I suppose the best way to categorise the country's regions is thus- If you put jam on your scone (and pronounce it "sc-on") before the cream you are civilised. If you put the cream on your scone (and pronounce it "sc-own") before the jam then you are a savage.

Florida is unreachable financially for even the middle classes these days. Used to be a once in a lifetime thing that even the working classes could afford if they stretched. But housing and rents are so expensive now, the Kirsty Alsopp strategy to just stop eating Avocado's and cancelling...

I know what you meant. No rhotic R in any of the south east accents, midlands accents, or RP. So whack an R in Bath and that's pretty much how they say it. Whack are R in anything in the west and all hell breaks loose. Even heard a Ford Fiesta called a "Fiesterrrr" the other day. Bath down here...

Indeed, a single attraction.

'The West' is Somerset, Bath, the Bristol and Greater Bristol conurbation, and parts of Gloucestershire. Devon and Cornwall is the 'South West'. Dorset, South Wiltshire, and Hampshire are 'The South'. The Forest of Dean is practically the very posh district of South Wales. But I like to keep my...

No coincidence. The guy swearing to himself mowing the lawn in front of the conservatory was actually Rob. If you need a job done properly, as the saying goes.

Which is exactly why they shouldn't go for a topspin in that area. 4 x 1.4 attractions and only one below that in an entire area is wholly inappropriate.
