Erm, why does the th13teen logo look like a shaft and balls?

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the fact that theme parks are rarely places of quality, value food fayre, I just feel that Disney have something of an indifference to what is a reasonable threshold for what they are charging, on the basis they are Disney, so what's not to love? I just find...

Kinda makes you dewy eyed for her, doesn't it??? This is absolute arse. Do the park think this is what the fans have been crying out for, when asking for a new ride? Thorpe, I could understand and perhaps forgive such an utterly juvenile stunt, for Alton, a park that prides itself on being...

Mickey mouse stole my wallet the thieving little rodent. I am glad to see the decline in Disney figures for one simple reason; no park should ever, ever assume it's customers will come regardless, and pay whatever. What is happening at Disney is the same arrogance that has affected Merlin...

Nope. 'The New Rollercoaster'@Ocean Beach, South Shields.

Thorpe is a bad park (from my perspective), but perversely I don't hold that against it; Alton is a very good park, that is in danger of becoming a bad one - that is something I resent.

I enjoyed my first year of having a Merlin pass last year, taking in Alton three times, Legoland and Chessie twice, and Thorpe once. Trouble is, it was at the expense of visiting other parks - only LWV on a Valley Mania trip got a non merlin visit, as I spun my time off to get the best possible...

was?

Yeah Henk said it - it was down to the weather and the Scottish economy! :lol: I don't really care how many or how few rides the park acquire, as long as what the park acquires is within a reasonable budget, and betters the park's portfolio. the areas could actually have very little new in...

I never visited the Southern parks before last year, and in a way I assumed that Chessie was always more safari park with a theme park in it than the other way around, but it goes to show just how subtly the park has evolved. Thorpe on the other hand looked like a place you might actually want...

Not an early finish, but no park makes you feel more unwelcome after the stated closing time than Flamingoland. Rides are closed, so bugger off!!

Lordy...clearly the absolute mullering Alton has received on some of the other forums suggest it's possibly not just you... My list for what it's worth... 1. Chessie. Completely caught me out; was expecting a cut down disappointing version of Alton, but couldn't have been more wrong. The...

A park that Ash considers something of a role model for the park... Is a looper essential. No. Would it be nice, of course it would. The reality is this though, even an aged on like T&S would, unless leased cost upwards of a million pounds, and frankly the park could do with boosting the...

Galaxy makes me cough. Dairy milk is clearly king of the UK chocolates, and I miss the skinny mini dairy milks you used to get in jars of rRoses. Cadbury's Whole Nut isn't even diminished by the concept of being advertised by a drumming gorilla a couple of years ago FFS.

Generally love it, and have been completely won over by Matt Smith (I see him as Tom Baker for a new generation - they being the only slightly off-worldy ones, and therefore more convincingly alien). When it's bad, it rarely stinks, when it's good it is up there with the best shows on TV. It...

The quality of Flamingo land's zoo is better, but sadly yes, it isn't much fun because it is so scattered, and because the nature of more humane enclosures mean that animals would rather have 'animal time' than pad for onlookers meaning there is simply less to see. Neither are a patch on...

If I'm not mistaken, I paid almost as much for a bottle of pop in DLRP as the merlin parking fee. Oh and Disney don't charge for fastrack, so obviously they're much cheaper... :lol:

What did I miss? Is Thorpe's new ride to be called 'the Paris tunnel?!?' Anyhoo. I don't have a problem paying to park. I do object to being told that it's all for love though.

Actually, it was walk on, so I'm really not sure.

Flamingoland reminds me of Chessie in so many ways, and while I generally always enjoy it, I always feel it is slightly undercooked. One of the reasons I champion LWV is I love to see the way they are innovatively making the best of the two pennies they have to rub together. When Flamingoland...
