    Sky News Kay Burley/Nick Varney Interview Complaint

    ^ Agreed. It also isn't something ONLY coaster enthusiasts are getting up in arms about it - everyone can see her conduct was atrocious. Five page topic on Digital Spy about it : http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2079244

    Has Alton Towers Benefited From its Height Restrictions?

    I agree with Gavin here, its only really Nemesis and Oblivion that are dramatically altered due to these height restrictions. Without them, Rita could have had a longer, more imaginative layout perhaps? We could have actually seen more thrilling coasters than Spinball? Th13teen would probably...

    Accident at Alton Towers

    As part of this 'testing' they should really try and deliberately stall the train at the same point and simulate exactly what SHOULD have happened to HSE. Whether that would be wise to do in public is another thing as it could lead to mass hysteria. Edit: Welcome Coastinbear

    Accident at Alton Towers

    ^ It will still take a lot of adjustment, particularly with the amputation being above the knee. It's not as simple as banging a prosthetic leg on and away you pop.

    Accident at Flamingoland

    Just an update on this. When I went on Thursday they had it closed on the morning and most of the afternoon while they installed netting over the queue line. Bit worrying and I know it's just a precaution but seeing the netting 'in case it happens again' doesn't exactly fill one with...

    Accident at Alton Towers

    ^I was thinking more along the lines of the footage doesn't exist because the story isn't exactly true. If it was true though then it does exist.

    Accident at Alton Towers

    So hang on, the train stalled on the lift hill for ten minutes while the empty car in front had valleyed? I know this sound really gruesome of me but surely if some bystanders saw a train being released into a section of track where an empty train was valleyed, SOMEONE must have filmed it...

    Bags of Coffee Beans spotted at Starbucks Warehouse

    :-) Owen, roomraider is not a new member. Neither are you but sounds like you'd have taken offence. Gavin, I give it a ten second Google to check as well, one of its main access roads runs through or borders North Wales then. Knew I'd get that **** wrong haha.

    Bags of Coffee Beans spotted at Starbucks Warehouse

    Thank **** someone round here still has a sense of humour. The fact I posted it in Forum Fun highlights it's a joke. Forget it I'll go back to lurking and reading in-jokes from CF Lives (Y). Furie, the answer is 3752.4 bags of coffee beans.

    Bags of Coffee Beans spotted at Starbucks Warehouse

    Let the guessing commence! I reckon although the majority of these bags will be distributed in the United States, if you squint carefully theres a label on one of the bags at the back of the picture marked "To be shipped to Portsmouth". Now obviously Portsmouth is a dock in the UK so they...

    New ride at Pleasure Island (And special offers coming soon)

    Re: New ride at Pleasure Island (And special offers coming s Pleasure Island have purchased Sky Flyer from Flamingo Land. Rumoured £250k. So Flamingo Land put their entrance up by £2 and warrant it by selling an attraction but hey, they're getting white rhinos...!!!
