    Is the Blade finally dead?

    They aren't as popular as they once were, that is clear. However, I still feel they are a decent 'in-between' ride for youngsters to experience as a next step up before larger thrill rides. The thing with 'The Blade' is that it is shoehorned between 2 large coasters, and 2 other thrill rides...

    lwv new in 2015

    Agreed, the tractor ride could have been so promising but sadly, its a very sparse ride in comparison with other tractor rides out there. Good to see some new ride investment this year.

    'Magic Cave' Themed Attraction - Scarborough

    There are proposals to knock down the 'Futurist' theatre in Scarborough and replace it with an attraction that will include a roller coaster and space shot. Details here... http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/mai ... -1-6844320 Really hope this comes off as the 'Futurist' is dated and ugly and...

    Do you care about your dark ride shooter score?

    In the case of 'Duel'...Not really. I start off trying to get a decent score then I soon get bored (or get finger ache) and just start reminiscing how good it was before the lasers were added.

    Shameless cred mopping-up in the north east, 22 Sept 2013

    Re: Shameless cred mopping-up in the north east, 22 Sept 201 :lol: Shame to hear about the Shrieksville ride, seems none of the staff have tested it recently to sort the darkness out. When it first opened it was quite good....not really scary in any way, just executed well. To be honest...

    Shameless cred mopping-up in the north east, 22 Sept 2013

    Re: Shameless cred mopping-up in the north east, 22 Sept 201 Mmm, think you're a tad harsh with Pleasure Island Darren. I wouldn't say Boomerang is that bad, sure its not glass smooth but its nowhere near as bad as what the corkscrews were or what any slc is. Yes, it has that concrete...

    Do You Ever Film or Make Vids of Parks?

    Used to make montage videos of Live events many moons ago, but then went onto making documentaries and stuff like that for Ride-Guide and valley Mania. Nowadays, I rarely produce theme park videos. Have just filmed an half hour long short though which will be released shortly (nothing to do with...

    Alton Towers | The Smiler | Gerstlauer Infinity

    Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 How is it a massive cockup? The ride opening is delayed, get over it! Think yourself lucky its just a month or two delayed, Lightwaters tractor ride was 2 years!

    Alton Towers | The Smiler | Gerstlauer Infinity

    Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 Got to admit though, I don't understand all the fuss about opening day. Isn't it better to let the ride mature a couple of weeks till all the problems are ironed out and the ride runs fluantly?

    Pleasurewood Hills 2013 - Hobs Pit dark ride

    I'll second that, although the sign doesn't match, it looks more like a sign you'd see on a nightclub (But thats just me being picky).

    Alton Towers | The Smiler | Gerstlauer Infinity

    Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 I don't care how good it is but no roller coaster is worth 3 to 4 hours of queueing!! I queued 2 sodding hours for Swarm last year....What a waste!!
