    Do you find The Smiler rough?

    Wait... are we actually supposed to like the smiler? I always thought it was #awful If you haven't got a headache from the vile theme and that horrific blaring soundtrack competing with decibels with the noise of the ride from the queueline; you're sure to get one on the ride itself. I find it...

    Merlin Annual Pass Changes - November 2017

    But the downside is that you're restricted to just one theme park. For me personally 3 visits to Alton Towers this year was more than enough. Each visit was cool, I enjoyed it, but I guess I'm now at an age where it's sometimes difficult to schedule in a visit against other things I prefer to be...

    Merlin Annual Pass Changes - November 2017

    Factor in the bounce back offers with open dates plus an original ticket and it's around 15 -/+ times. I had a pass from 2007-2010 and this is one of the main reasons why I didn't renew. The annual pass is designed to make customers feel like they're saving, but there's only ever one winner and...

    Merlin Annual Pass Changes - November 2017

    This is nothing more than adding leverage to an upsell strategy. There’s a £40 difference between a standard pass (£179) and a premium pass (£219). With the standard issue Merlin financial goggles on, financially from Merlin’s point of view that’s really not that much of a difference for the...

    I used to do that on roller coaster tycoon if my coaster didn't make it all the way around.

    Is it morally wrong to kill ants?

    Oh my gosh, I feel I'm touching on my own experiences here. Did you do a ring of salt around the slug? :o As a man of environmental things it's in my duty to say ants are in fact not willyheads, as gosling aptly put it, but y'know what, upon going into the kitchen this morning and witnessing my...

    Is it morally wrong to kill ants?

    Predators killing prey to live is a fact of life, albeit when I think about it, it's a bit morbid (that's why I personally believe people who dedicate their lives praising some sort of God who gave animals the ability to eat each other to be a bit of a crazy dedicated belief. That's a different...

    Is it morally wrong to kill ants?

    I'm almost certain that if I were the size of them and just merrily waltzed into their home they wouldn't think twice about using me in their weird bdsm games before dishing me up to the queen for pudding, tbh what species wouldn't?! I really dislike killing things, but they won't leave my...

    TowersStreet Progress Discussion

    A little bit nerdy, not really necessarily and quite picky, but why does the Google search say this? "Alton Towers Hotel ». Everything is OK Last Updated @ 11th Aug 2012. red, Splash Landings Hotel ». Splash Landings is currently sleeping for the low season.."

    The Paralympics and Olympics - Should they be merged?

    I haven't sourced anything so I don't know any actual facts. Surely the majority of abled-bodied Olympic athletes would outcompete disabled Paralympic athletes with some Paralympic athletes having perhaps a greater advantage due to their prosthetic attachments. It would be too fickle to vet and...

    What do you do...

    Sunny Stafford? GET OUUUT! I'm currently at Keele uni about to go into my 3rd year studying Geology and Applied Environmental Science with the hope of returning to my former employer of 6 years Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK, but this time as an environmental pen pusher :D. I'm also a volunteer...

    Welcome to TowersStreet.com!

    I don't actually know what's occurring, but er, the current TTF team speaks volumes! I know I tend not to post much but I care not to be part of a community which lacks flare, entertainment and a friendly atmosphere. Consider myself moved before dictatorship and walking on egg shells starts.
