    "Zooom", Zamperla Air Force coaster for Flamingoland

    It's excellent. Very Chessie, and the idea of crossing an adventure playground and a zoo (the play-frames flank meerkat and other mall animal interactive enclosures) is inspired, even if slightly borrowed. :) Apparently when it is open fully, you'll be able to picnic with some of the animals. :o

    Other Coaster Communities

    CF is an excellent site with the non forum parts being probably some of the best out there,and on the forum with the likes of Furie, Ian, Nic and Mysterious Sue (amongst others) making genuinely excellent posts, consistently. If I was to criticise, there could be an argument to separate the...

    Fantasy Island UK - Turning a new leaf for 2011?

    Well actually, you do feel somewhat seedy looking at it, I'd imagine it's feasible a few people may look at it in the nip... :oops:

    Flamingoland april 17th PTR (photo heavy)

    You know there are times when you just think...when the bloody hell did that happen? Well That just happened to me at Flamingoland. I have had plenty of visits over the last few years whereby I've been impressed at the park progress, but this year, (partly due to the fact that I didn't really...

    The Chavinator. My hopes for a decent name aren't particularly high.

    WTF is "Shark Island" at WMSP?

    This is Shark Island at Ocean Beach, I'd imagine it probably to be a variant of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbBj4_leEWw

    Skeleton Cove Preview

    I am right in thinking that there is further work ongoing throughout the season on finishing the area off, much like the additions they put to Raptor Attack, after it had been opened to the public, aren't I?

    Skeleton Cove Preview

    I rabbit on so much about LWV not because I think it's a brilliant park, (in a lot of ways it a terrible park, and the Ultimate is often too painful to enjoy), but the potential of the place is immense; it's one of the few parks in the UK that with a fair wind could nearly double it's attendance...

    Fire in saw alive

    What is it with Thorpe and fires? Is it really haunted by a pyromaniac chav ghost...?

    Netbook advice

    Acer Aspires are good for a pittance. A raft of decent cheap netbooks are usually available on Argos's clearance bargains shop on ebay.

    Lightwater Valley, New rides in 2011 (see page 7)

    Re-asking part of a question you answered from a few months ago, you said LWV lacked some kind of central hub....In the cove, has it now got one?

    LC12 real name predictions

    Thing is, there's a better than evens chance that the ride will carry an IP (personally I wouldn't bet far side of Modern Warfare, given Thorpe's obsession with the demographic that visits it), and on that basis, it's hard to bet against Thorpe proving somewhat predictable and naming the ride...

    Alton Towers | The Smiler | Gerstlauer Infinity

    Its going to be the worlds first 4d cinema coaster. The entire cinema will be put on rails, and will spin and loop, and oh...it'll have lasers. And sharks. Which'll have lasers. It' what I heard, anyway.... :shock:

    Lightwater Valley, New rides in 2011 (see page 7)

    The skate karts won't go anywhere quick, in fact I'd argue with the loss of the Go Karts, they're more important than ever, and you could argue the park could do worse than having an area for decent pedal Karts, like those found at a lot of the Farm Parks, as a cost bugger all, but reasonably...

    "Zooom", Zamperla Air Force coaster for Flamingoland

    It's to tie in with splash battle, and will have water effects, so tbh, it'll be decent enough attraction for the money. I take for granted that I am both the target market, in that the ride itself holds no interest for me, but as I have a young family, am likely to end up on it anyway...
