Re: New Indoor Ride for Alton in 2012 The building is only 11 metres from floor to ceiling, or 36 feet. Once you include clearance tolerances, that's not much height to play with - 22 feet? I think calling whatever is inside a "drop tower" is a bit meaningless in that context! Mystery Castle...

I remain unimpressed with Aspro's management of Oakwood - I'll believe reports of investment when I actually see it happening! No sympathy from me either for anyone whinging about it being in Wales - you can all bugger off :P. It IS a shame though that they've never managed to sort out a...

^Really wanted to see Back & Forth last night, but it was that or fix the toilet...no contest really! :lol: I've just realised that because Source Code is so short, I can fit in that AND Submarine tonight after 9pm! Will happen if I can stay awake :P (although the coffee is RUBBISH in Vue...

^I do believe the volcano is part of the rapids (which are FAB!).

I think the final theming will be excellent, but we probably won't see it until next season! Spite! Envy! etc.

I think it's fair to compare this with Thirteen - both are slightly scary themed family coasters. Looks to me like this will wipe the floor with Thirteen, which for me falls down badly with the on-ride theming. For €5m it looks like an absolute steal (admittedly, they had the building...

Reminds me of Temple of the Night Hawk at Phantasia, which has bugger all theming on the ride itself, and suffers for it. Whereas this one sounds like it will have a LOT of theming. We'll see. Why "Van Helsing"? It's MOVIE Park, vampires are unfortunately still hot property, but they can't...

Adjacent to Flip-Flop - what's there at the moment? Looks like a big shed on GoogleMaps (which is pre-Mumbo).

After Dark always was August wasn't it? High chance I'll be pitching-up for some Fobia night action this year then :). Bit odd they're only doing Wed. and Fri. though. What?! You've NOT done Oakie? :shock:

If I may be a park nerd for a moment, my question would be: "Given the relatively small budget LWV operates with, why haven't they installed the kind of inexpensive, non-ride family facilities other family parks around Europe have in abundance - such as assault courses, climbing areas, slide...

Damn, I used to live near-ish to here 10 years ago! I'm out of the loop now though, didn't even know Murcia was getting a new airport... Anyway, the SE of Spain could definitely do with something like this to provide a focus for tourists. Shall definitely be keeping an eye on it! (Just...

There's been progress! They're behind due to the winter weather (again), and apparently may open without some theming (again!). New microsite: http://www.schlange-von-midgard.de/en/ Some pics: I suspect the track's going to be over water (it's themed to a boat after...

^Lol! Fail :P. Sped ^_^.

Bugger, I was going to claim Hydro's Law and lock the topic, but I was too slow :P. (Damned if I'm calling it Drenched, sounds like a vitamin drink). "New spectator-controlled water cannons are also being installed" - well that's *something* I suppose...

Not seen the film, because I read the book and really hated it! The plot remains the same though, and the comparison with "The Island" is fair, because:- One of my main problems with the book is that it re-uses a well-known sci-fi idea, adds nothing new to it other than lots of...

Catch-up time! 127 Hours Quality film-making from Danny Boyle and co., full of invention, with a cracking soundtrack from A. R. Rahman (yes BAFTA, better than bloody King's Speech's soundtrack!), and a great turn from James Franco. It always manages to keep you interested despite a)...

^^Just listened to it. First half of the album, frankly, is pants. It's Thom Yorke tinkering with Eraser left-overs and re-warmed Kid-A/Amnesiac cuts. The welcome jazz inflections of opener "Bloom" can't mask the paucity of fresh ideas, and "Feral" in particular is plain rubbish. The...

"Mouse Grey" - does that mean Andy will be out there with his paint brush? :P

Unless my eyes deceive me, the "far end" elevation has an unusual dip in it! Hopefully some decent theming will help to make this a good package.
