    I’ve never seen that before, thank you for sharing, it was brilliant! John Wardley’s ability to deliver a perfect piece-to-camera whilst riding Enterprise is an unimaginable feat.

    Somebody set up a rank the logo’s thread. We’ve got to that point in our extended closed season! I love Nemmy’s old logo a lot but the newer one just doesn’t fit the theme at all. Smiler’s got a great logo and I think it is the t-shirt I see the most. bluesonichd I can’t even tell if you...

    I’m not going to perpetuate you trying to wind everybody up, but I will agree with the old logo over the new logo. You can add Smiler having the better logo to your list, @Ethan

    Let’s face it. We all spend most of our time getting excited over products that are mainly aimed at children through to young adults. The Nemmy fans and Smiler fans are embarrassing together, let’s be proud!

    “Showing the others up” seems like a bit of a weird term to use. I have noticed you are a bit obsessed with the Smiler being better or more popular than the others. I used to work at Towers, mainly on Nemmy and Duel, and from my perspective of asking people what their favourite rides were, Nemmy...

    Your favourite investment from each owner in Alton Towers' history?

    What a brilliant idea, love it! For me: John Broome: Swan Boats! (wanted to choose something that I rode and the Swan Boats were truly iconic and unchanged from when they were put in in the 80s, they were always the first ride for us and lots of lovely memories going on all as a family and how...

    Reading this topic makes me ponder the question, “Why is that some people cannot cope with authority?” Learning to be a little more accepting of others views and having the ability to see things from the perspective of others will get you further in life than constantly arguing against policies...

    What will you be doing when stuck at home?

    Myself and the ReneBlade Master have kept ourselves busy launching the CorkBrew podcast (apologies for the shameless plug!) If anywhere is our target audience, it’s here! We also did the Theme Park WorldWide quiz yesterday evening and got 25 out of 35 between us. A lovely way for the community...

    Coronavirus

    Me and my partner just did this together and got 14 out of 20. Great quiz and learned some things I’ve never heard before!

    Coronavirus

    Again, I know how fortunate we are. I really feel for people who have particularly noisy neighbours or surroundings or no garden. These are the people which will have to make the most of their daily walk, which is the main reason why people need to be careful overstepping the mark. I can do...

    Coronavirus

    I am one of the lucky ones that have the ability to completely isolate during these period, along with my partner who works in the leisure industry and our little girl. We are also lucky to have a garden to sit in during this beautiful weather. The upside for me is that it is so still and...

    Coronavirus

    I really can’t work out whether you are trolling or not. For someone who has been panicking so much, you don’t even seem to know what the symptoms are, a runny nose isn’t one of them.

    I think every song Morrissey has ever written has a scathing remark in it somewhere intended towards these kinds of people. Sorry to go off topic, but Morrissey is my hero. And it turns out he has trained me how to sit in my house on my own for long periods of time so he was preparing me for...

    I like it, but it is a bit confusing having two different “titles”. Imagine not knowing what the ride is and seeing that.

    Thank God for that! Probably still just build another hotel on it once it’s done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    I am 5ft 8in and I am comfortable on most rides, including Colossus (although I still think I wouldn’t quite go as far to say it’s “comfortable”). It is great being “average” height although as you say, few people are!

    As has already been mentioned, it is still a work in progress and I imagine (or maybe I hope?) that there will be a few instalments in phases like CBeebies Land, especially as I think a lot of the pressure comes from the IP side wanting their product to look good. I think it looks good for what...

    Coronavirus

    I know how difficult it is, and I know this is the last thing you want to hear, but having to deal with things is what makes you less anxious. After I had my pregnancy and giving birth, suddenly life felt a lot easier even though it automatically was a lot harder, because I can’t imagine...

    Coasters that you want to like, but don't

    Interesting topic! The one that comes to mind for me is The Swarm. I’ve sat on both sides front and back and never felt a thing. People go on about how intense it is and I really don’t know what I’m missing! Love the theme though and the station especially, just find it boring. Reminds me of...

    Coronavirus

    I reckon the biggest reduction will be seen in things like norovirus which are completely spread through surface contact and food contaminated by somebody who has it. Hopefully colds will drop too although they are so easy to catch! I’d rather get Coronavirus than norovirus to be honest...
