    New rides @ small parks

    Milky Way are in the process of installing 2 bouncy pillows which they hope to have ready for Easter. Their main selling point to distinguish them from the identical ones up the road at The Big Sheep is that they will be surrounded by soft matting rather than sand. How exciting.

    Which Coaster "Kickstarted" Your Interest?

    As several others have said, for me it was X at SFMM. I'd always loved coasters as a kid and used to go to Thorpe/CWoA at least once a year as I was growing up. As we nearly always used to holiday in the UK, that would often involve trips to other UK parks such as Oakwood. As a teenager, this...

    Roller Coaster TV Programs and Other Related Videos

    Themes, Dreams and Scream Machines I found this on YouTube this evening, and it's fantastic! Filmed in 1991-2 it follows John Wardley through the design, build and opening of Runaway Mine Train and The Haunted House at Alton. It combines lengthy interviews with him with comments from others in...

    JAPAN: Lots of food, creds and lols

    Forgot you're a fish goon. The zoo has 3 creds. The aquarium has none. Simple maths.

    Not so hot trip to the Pier

    That's the exact OPPOSITE of what I said!!! As nearly all the other lights are "white" (read: Orange) and these are yellow, they clash horribly. *voms*

    JAPAN: Lots of food, creds and lols

    Sorry to disappoint, but It wasn't a beaver - it had the wrong tail. Best guess is that it was a Coypu (or Nutria if you're a silly American)

    Not so hot trip to the Pier

    Male Jordan was down for a Uni open day, and had a spare hour, so we popped to the Pier. If you look closely, you can see the impact the recent storms have had on the beach Jordan wanted to ride Turbo, so we went to check how many tokens it is, and realised it was closed. Don't beast...

    "Now Showing"

    Her This is a funny one. I feel like it's been critically acclaimed because it's quite an arty sort of film. The sort of thing that makes you feel more intelligent if you say you like it. Full of the kind of elements that a film text book would probably advocate. I can't help but compare it to...

    "Now Showing"

    On Valentines day I went by myself to go and see The Lego Movie. I don't even care. It's so fantastic! Definitely one where the adults were laughing more than the kids. I might actually go and watch it again today. :D Yesterday I finally got round to seeing Cuban Fury. I was really looking...

    Alton Towers to remove Submission - world rejoices! :)

    Hahahaha! I'm loving the typically CF reaction to this. Only one thing left to say... My thoughts and prayers are with Submission's family at this difficult time. Anyway. Could they get away with sticking a Top Scan in there? Surely that'd fit the bill as a compact, affordable, thrilling and...

    Chessington 2014

    Sue, there's already 4, with a 5th one coming this year in the USA #onestepbehind Anyhoo... I really wish we knew the thought process behind digging up Market Square. The last thing the park needs is more things being dug up or pulled apart. They've already got plenty of stuff in pieces that...

    "Now Showing"

    Delivery Man It's slightly more heartfelt a a bit less zany than his usual fare, but it's still Vince Vaughan. The whole thing was just a bit too sappy really. It was an alright way to while away a Sunday afternoon, but I won't be rushing to watch it again.

    "Now Showing"

    I've got some serious catching up to do in here! A Christmas Carol They screened it as a Take 2 Thursday thing so I thought I might as well. It was ok, I suppose. It really doesn't deserve to be a Disney film though. I never have liked that motion capture nonsense. Moshi Monsters: The Movie I...

    "Now Showing"

    The Harry Hill Movie If you're not a fan, steer well clear. If all you've ever seen of him is "TV Burp" you may also not really know what you're letting yourself in for! This definitely represents more of a trip back towards the old days of the Channel 4 series. That said, don't go expecting to...

    Can you be too old for an advent calendar?

    NEVER too old! I always have a tacky cheap kiddy one, and try to get one that in some way reflects somewhere I've been during the year (Peppa Pig, Disney Princesses etc) I've got a Hello Kitty one this year <3 6 sleeps to go!!! :D

    Edinburgh Starflyer incident

    This is the typically restrained (!) front page story on today's Metro. Part of a seat from a Starflyer at a fair in Edinburgh broke off whilst the ride was in motion. A woman was terrified. Nobody was hurt. The ride re-opened later. Meh. http://metro.co.uk/2013/12/16/young-mot ... t-4233211/

    Ocean Park. Again.

    Don't worry, I didn't bother reading this because I only read Thorpe Park PTRs.

    Thorpe Park 2014: The water front hotel.
